Saw this topic appearing a bit on a map thread, so I decided to make a specific post about it. So go ahead, post any ideas you have for interesting Mann Vs. Machine robots or robot combinations!

Ok, get ready for my many ideas that may be good, bad, or ok

Brass Beast Heavy
Health 500
Scale 1.5
Item Brass Beast
Airblast Resistance 90%
Vertical Airblast Resistance 90%
Damage Force reduction 90%
The General idea of this robot was to discourage people from relying on airblast to reset the bomb. It's weakness is in the brass beast itself, seeing how it moves slowly. It goes even slower when the bot has the bomb.

Specialist Soldier
Rocket Specialist 2
Clip size -50%
I wanted to see how players would react if something were to stun them. For example, this soldier would make a scouts job more difficult to collect cash because of the rocket specialist. This was originally gonna be in mvm_abandoned, but I never got to finish the map.

Giant Rocket Specialist
Health-4200
Pretty much like the normal rocket specialist, expect it also has the rapid fire soldier's attributes as well.

Upgraded sniper
Item-Machina
Crits on Kill for 2 seconds
Jarate Backstabber

This one was for mvm_storage. I was gonna use it for the later waves, but then I realized that it may not be the best idea to have a sniper that could chain kill the entire team if they do not see him

People already hate the sandman scouts. Slowing probably will just be less of an effect but at high numbers will still be anoying.

They often just airblast scouts and small enemies. A brass beast heavy isnt something many would airblast. Its effect will be minimal. Also, rage would still affect it.

And just for the sake of it, the soldier i used on intercept.
