The ride never ends!


Thrackerzod joined the forum in 2012, left immediately, then came back in 2014 to stay. He is known for running gimmick tournaments and entering the same robot over and over rather than building new robots.

He was promoted to moderator of the Tournaments section in January 2017, along with Geice.

Bot Building

Stock: He mostly makes popups or VSes. He has confessed that he "never learned how to make HSes". Overall, he has about average Stock skill.

DSL: Used to mostly build Standard, and made a couple of good bots, but generally thinks of DSL as his weakest meta. He has been leaning into building IRL more often lately.

Ironforge: Ironforge is currently his favorite meta, however he has not actually built very many Ironforge bots. His most well known Ironforge bot is Mr. Bones' Wild Ride, which won BotM twice in different incarnations.
