@Coolcat : I believe this is what you're looking for.

Please don't double-post (or triple-post). If you have something to add, edit your first post.

Compared to the Purple and Green Score Balls, the Red and Blue balls seem UP to me. I mean, 500 is barely enough BP to even be considered, and even though 5% is better, it PALES in comparison to 10% increase PER ROBOT. I would say that Red and Blue make for good beginner items, but I don't think beginner are going to care a lick about points until they get much stronger robots. I think you should either buff the Red and Blue by giving them the "per robot" perk or lower the price.

Another thing; 1000 per robot and 10% per robot are VERY different. Imagine if the point reward for a certain battle was 1,000,000 BP. Using the Green ball with 8 robots would result in a reward of 1,008,000, but using the Purple would result in 1,800,000. Why would I ever use the Green?

In this regard, I suppose you could consider the Red and Green balls as "beginner" items (even though, as I said before, beginners may be less interested in points than veterans), in which case you could make the Red and Green substantially cheaper than the Blue and Purple (although I still think you should add the per robot for the Red and Blue). The final result is:
Red = 500z
Green = 1000z
Blue = 1,500-2,000z
Purple = 3,000-4,000z

What do you think?

EDIT: Actually....I'm stuck between whether Green is better than Blue or vice versa...

It's Base officially.

@Adrian Marceau : Well, think of it this way, Adrian: some people fall victim to errors in the game and stubbornly do nothing about it, regardless of whether complaints arise or not.
You spotted the issue and promptly dealt with it. What's done is done.

It's a prototype, and you're putting your heart and soul into it. You don't have to apologize. :)

Not only does this preview have alternate skins (which is awesome), but we're FINALLY DIVERSIFYING ROBOTS!!! I don't know how different the stats will be between same-Core robots, but I'm so glad that it's getting the attention it deserves. Thank you so much, Adrian!

Also, there should be a little thing at the bottom right of your comment box saying "Show Formatting Options". It's a great way to quickly find and learn the format that you want on your comment.

THERE IS 11 YOU FOOL! I'm just kidding, man! Why you so tense?

Anyways, I'm going to dinner soon, so I can't right now.

Continued (AND YES KEEP THE MUSIC PLAYING IT'S AWESUM)

Precisely! It's embedded into all robots: Light's bots, my bots, and even Wily's! Over the years, Wily has threatened the world time after time with destruction and chaos, but never could he demand a bot to physically harm a human. If this robot could harm me...
*Skull Man banged his fist against the wall.* Then it can harm others, including Dr. Light. This is a SERIOUS problem.
It's become a law of nature that robots cannot harm humans. This robot is either incredibly strong or is controlled by one who's will is strong enough to counteract the Robot Laws!
We need to take action and find these guys ASAP.
Hmmmm....Wait, Dive Man was there!
And if his CPU is still functioning, we can track him!
*Cossack goes to his massive computer.* *quickly types* ....His GPS is fully functional! I'm sending the location to you now.
Excellent. Doc, can you refit me? I'm gonna need it.
I will do so post-haste, but I must remind you that the Alpha Armor doesn't give you extra protection to anything except explosions and fire; it was meant only to protect you from the conditions of the Drill Nuke.
*Drill Man nods* Understood.
*Turns to Skull Man* Skull Man, or should I call you Skully as your brothers so affectionately call you? *chuckles*
That....won't be necessary, sir.
*Cossack laughs a hearty laugh.* Well, I must first congratulate you. If it's true that you encountered Ring Man, then I know it wasn't easy controlling the Evil Energy and fighting him simultaneously. I will refill your Evil Energy stores to its original state, but I cannot stress this enough. *Cossack's face darkens* Evil Energy is a living thing. It not only has the determination to overthrow your mind, but it also learns from its host. If you stumble, it will take the opportunity to consume you; do not let it. Alternatively, if you trick it into releasing its full power while you still have the power to control it, you will wield immense power. I have faith in you, Skull Man.
*Skull Man hesitates for a moment, then chuckles.* I'm gonna enjoy this. Load me up, doc.
*music stops*

The key to victory is finding the balance between power and wit. Use this against the opponents who let their power go to their head, and don't let the same happen to you yourselves. Fight well! You make me....proud. *Dr. Cossack smiles*
Roger! *They teleport to Dive Man's location...*

So what were you doing here?
*takes a swig* Well, when we went to check inside the hideout that Cossack pinpointed, he was nowhere to be found. Curious, I came over here to the lab to find clues, and sure enough Ring Man was there, along with.... *Skull Man motions behind Drill Man.*
*Drill Man turns around and his eyes widen.* Is he alive!?
Just unconscious. Ring Man isn't really one for compassion, so Cossack must've managed to establish code in Ring Man to not allow him to kill his father. I wonder why he didn't put the same thing in for his brothers....*sips*
....Wait, you don't think-
There's no way to be sure, but he trusted me enough to host the Evil Energy, so I doubt he didn't trust US.
He gave you WHAT!?
He didn't tell you? Huh.
And he didn't tell you about my Nuke Armor...How many secrets is that man hiding?
It's ironic, really. He's basically the underdog of robotics, but in this time of crisis with Light gone and Wily doing who-knows-what, Cossack might be the wild card needed to turn the tides...Still, I just can't wrap my head around him not trusting us. I think there's more here than meets the eye.
Agreed. Before investigating, though, we gotta take care of Cossack and these bots. I think I have some energy pellets...
No, these guys are busted. The only way to revive them would be an Extra Life. I heard that there was an idea for something called a Boot Disk, but the plan was never put into action because the head developer was and is on hiatus. As much as it pains me, we can't do anything for a human, so Cossack's just going to have to recover normally. Let's look around and see what we can find-
S....Skull....Man?
Doctor!?

Oh, my head...
Let's start with what you can remember, sir.
Dri....Drill Man? Is that you? Why...why are you....Oh yes! Your Beta layer! That means you used the Drill Nuke. Things must be desperate indeed.
Sir, what can you remember about the attack?
I was investigating the hideout- YES! Did you find anything in the hideout?
No, doctor. Please try and focus; this could be very important.
*grumbles* Very well. I had sent the information when all of a sudden I remember seeing a robot in the shadows. I tried to keep my composure and told him that he didn't belong in my lab when he suddenly charged me and knocked me out. Right before he struck, I remember his face, but I can't recall ever seeing a robot like that...
You've forgotten what Ring Man looks like?
RING MAN!? I should think not!
*the plot thickens* (Btw, I love AA music so if you see a lot of that on my posts, that's why.)
Wait....IT WASN'T RING MAN!?
But who else? Who else could've done this? Who else would WANT to?
That's what I'm trying to tell you! I don't know! It was the face of a robot that I don't recall seeing!
But Ring Man said-....Wait...*flashback*
"Oh, he was like this when I found hi-PFFFFFFFF HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA! I can't do this!
I can't keep a straight face at that glare! Oh, man, you're killing me."
He was telling the truth....I can't believe it.
Well, Ring Man couldn't have harmed me anyways; it's in the Robot Laws.
I recall something like that....Wait a second...robots can't harm humans!

I don't come as much simply BECAUSE it's died off. No real development seems to happen anymore on the chat, so I haven't participated in the last 2-3.

Continued

But I didn't get-....GRRRRRR HE DISCONNECTED ME!? I'LL KILL THAT TRAITOR OF A FATHER IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO! EVEN MY OWN FATHER DOESN'T TRUST ME! No matter. It's time to find Mega Man!
*Ring Man walks over to the computer and opens up a satellite, searching for Mega Man's signal.* That's strange. I can't find his signal. Either he's underground or...he's already been...destroyed! He was mine to kill! MINE to defeat! My life purpose is gone! GRRRRAAAAAAA! *Ring Man looks over at Skull Man* You...
*He runs at Skull Man, two rings in hand.* I'LL KILL YOU, YOU TRAITOROUS SCRAP OF-
*Suddenly, something shoots through the ceiling straight through Ring Man and disappears underground*
GYAAAH! H-how did you.....AAAAAH! Y...you hit off part of my core....NNNNGGGH....it hurts.
You're the traitor, Ring Man, and I will stop you!
*The figure bursts from the ground, causing chunks of earth to fly everywhere. When the dust clears...*

But...how?
I was in the area and got the vid. I only got to see the first few seconds of you and Ring Man fighting, but that was all I needed.
No, I mean how did-NNGH *winces in pain*....how did you...survive?
Cossack reinforced my outer shell to withstand the Drill Nuke only once. After that, it falls off, revealing my second layer of armor.
A Cossack bot doesn't go down easy, my friend. However...*Drill Man glares at Ring Man* they aren't impossible to take down.
Another *winces* traitorous brother.
Call me what you want, psychopath. Say good night. *points Drill Bomb at Ring Man's chest*
We'll meet again. *With great effort, Ring Man hits a button on his arm and teleports out*
......

*moozik*
*Ring Man scoffs as the dark humor in his eyes is replaced by pure malice* You've grown soft, Skully. *He effortlessly flicks a
Ring Boomerang that slams into Skull Man's barrier*
UMPH! How can he match Evil Energy!?
You forget, Skull Man, that Cossack only gave you as much as you could handle, which couldn't have been a lot; you're so frail it disgusts me.
*Ring Man creates two silver rings and rapidly swipes them through the air, which sends flurries of razor-sharp wind rings towards Skull Man*
*Skull Man raises his arms up in defense as the rings pelt him* Grrrrr....not....this time! *Skull Man throws the massive barrier at Ring Man
which absorbs the rings and crashes into Ring Man, sending him flying into a nearby machine and turning on a camera that was already linked to someone/somewhere...*
GYAAH!...Skull Man, we don't have to fight. Just...*winces* just let me destroy Mega Man-
Mega Man is like a cousin to us, Ring Man! Besides, if I let you destroy Mega Man, who's to say you'll stop there?
You're a robot of destruction, Ring Man.
You never accept me. You all never accepted me! How will I ever be good enough for you hypocrites!?
Hey, don't make this about us! You're the one who-
There you go again, making me the villain!
Wha-....YOU'RE TRYING TO KILL MEGA MAN!
What do you want from me, huh? What could I possible do to make happy?
You know what? I'll completely accept you if you let Dr. Cossack reprogram you.
*Ring Man suddenly froze* Re-reprogram?...No no...no I can't-I can't do that!
He was almost successful last time-
SHUT UP! *Ring Man grabbed his head in agony* Not back there! Not ever again!
On that operating table, I....lost my purpose, my will....my IDENTITY! I could feel him stripping away EVERY. SINGLE. PIECE of who I was!!
And then....then it was like he was shoving in an entirely new robot into my head. It hurt so much....it HURTS! I'LL NEVER GO BACK! *Ring Man looks up, his eyes
filled with more rage than before.* NEVER!!!!!
*Skull Man claps his hands together to generate another dark barrier* That's the biggest reason why I must do this, Ring Man;
not to save Mega Man from you, not even for the sake of our family. No, I must save you from yourself!
*Out of each of Ring Man's arms shoots out a long chain of large, white-hot rings. Skull Man grows two arms of darkness to grab Ring Man's flailing chains.
Skull Man keeps slamming Ring Man on the ground until the ring on Ring Man's head starts glowing golden orange. Ring Man throws the ring off his head; it shoots through the barrier and boomerangs back, slicing through Skull Man twice. As the ring, no longer glowing, returns to Ring Man's head, the barrier fades and Skull Man
collapses onto the floor.*
*music stops*
*Ring Man walks over to Skull Man* You'll never understand me. None of you EVER understood me and the pain I've endured from that day.
Ever since he tried to reprogram me, I've been ripped between two purposes, two beings. Two incompatible beings! No,
I myself am all I have left, me and my will to live:
to destroy Mega Man!
-MEMORY CAPACITY FULL. SENDING TO DESIGNATED RECIPIENTS-
*Ring Man whirls around* WHAT!? How did-....when I flew into the machine! *he turns to Skull Man* This is YOUR FAULT!
*kicks Skull Man*
UMPH!...Huh? I....got a....message? Maybe the video...sent to the DCNs?

@MegaBossGamer : I don't know anything about you, so I can't really make that call. Becoming more active on the forums is one way (if not the best way) to make your personality shine.

OOC: Okay, so I was working on my next post and cut and pasted what I had into a txt file. Now, I CAN'T FIND THE STUPID THING (I think I may have deleted it or something), so bear with me while I get over my rage and bring myself to type the 3,000 or so characters that I'd already typed ALL OVER AGAIN!

I encourage people to listen to this (skip to 0:23) before voting.

That is all.

@Mikey76500 : So you're thinking of dual-coring more RMs? That could work, but it doesn't cover ALL of the robots. Now, that's not a deal breaker by any means; I'm just saying to keep in mind that it doesn't diversify the robots 100%.

@Mikey76500 : Holy cheese and crackers, I'm not alone. Mikey, did you read my idea of 2nd Cores? It's on page 26 (and somewhat touched on at page 31) and I want to see what you think. I'm not saying it's a foolproof idea and it could definitely take time to decide the 2nd Cores, but the main idea is diversification, and that's what I'm aiming for here.

Yea, did anything development-wise actually happen tonight? I was busy.....
