Goldenfox93 is a user on the Gametechmods forums. Hailing from Lincolnshire in England, he actually joined in 2007, but thought that he needed it to download stuff on the website, but it turns out it didn't. As a result, he initially only posted a couple of times, but then forgot about his account.

'''GoldenFox93''', more often known by the nickname of '''GF93''', is a user on the Gametechmods forums. Hailing from Lincolnshire in England, he actually joined in 2007, thinking that he needed to have an account to download stuff on the website, but it turns out it didn't. As a result, he initially only posted a couple of times, but then left and forgot about his account.
−
About two years later, he rediscovered it, and now tends to post more regularly.
+
About two years later, he rediscovered it and is now a regular on GTM, becoming one of GTM's most recognizable figures in the off-topic sections of the forum. Goldenfox also established a relationship with [[SOTG]] until October 2013, to the amazement of most people.
−
The self-proclaimed ''"Biggest fan of Cassius II on the Internet Today",'' GoldenFox93 (Or ''GF93'', as he is most often known on GTM) possesses an unmatched love on GTM for the ''Robot Wars'' Series 3 competitor, ''Cassius II''.  
 
  
−
So much so in fact, he built several different replicas of it, and notoriously, once asked in the DSL 3.0 thread at least 10 times if [[Clickbeetle]] could made a Cassius II replica as a fightable robot for the mod. This initially earned him some notoriety amongst some users as something of a fanboy, particularly amongst users like [[Naryar]]. Since then, he has toned down his obsession on GTM somewhat, but is still a big fan of the robot.
+
Used to be picked on a lot by [[Naryar]], who found tormenting him hilarious, although this has since died down. Whilst less active on GTM as of 2013, he does still show up on odd occasions. However, GF93 is no longer active on GTM as of February 2014.
  
−
Although he has not contributed a great deal to RA2 itself, he is a regular poster on the forums, and has become quite a character in some respects, most often posting in the Playground and chatterbox sections. He does not tend to build in RA2 very often, but his skills are generally considered quite respectable, particularly in Stock, when he does build, which he mainly does for the purpose of entering tournaments.
 
  
−
Personality-wise on the forums, GF93 in some cases, especially with [[noob]]s interfering with Story Time and losing large amounts of reputation (no longer a problem, but he used to be particularly sensitive about this), can be short-tempered, and has sometimes been shown to have a somewhat egotistical posting style, frequently referring to himself as ''"The Sexiest Member of GTM"''' and boasting about aspects like as his IRL looks.
 
−
However, he generally does not hold major grudges with anyone, the sole exception being [[Avalanche]], whom he developed a grudge with over being cheated in a [[Terror Twisters]] grudge match, repeated spamming in Story Time, and generally annoying him all-round.
 
−
 
−
Deep down however, he is considered to be a 100% nice guy, known for being friendly, approachable and hard to get angry in most cases, often referring to both friend and enemy alike with colloquialisms such as ''"Old Chum"'' and ''"Matey"'', both of which have become well-known catchphrases of his. He also has something of a friendly rivalry with [[NFX]], mainly focussing on beating him in each tournament they come across each other in.
 
−
 
−
Every now and then, he also displays something of a mischevious side to him on the forums, frequently enjoying sessions of good-natured and comedic trolling on the forums, noticably amongst users including [[Jonzu95]], [[n00b]]s, and sometimes those equal to or higher than him in rank, noticably making [[Naryar]] less intimidating to the general population of GTM after making jokes about him apparently being a stereotypical Frenchman.
 
−
 
−
GF93 could also be considered one of the more romantic members of the forum after [[Goose]], recently beginning a relationship with his long-time friend and Story Time associate, [[Scourge of teh Galaxy]].
 
  
 +
==Building Style==
 +
'''Stock:''' Average. Mostly draws inspiration from the bots in the [[Starcore AI packs]]. Has very little knowledge of glitches such as stacking and snapper/axle loading.
  
−
==Building Style==
+
'''DSL:''' Also Average. On odd occasions builds competitively, but he mostly tends to stick with building replicas and IRL-style designs.
−
'''Stock:''' GF93 does consider himself fairly skilled in Stock, gradually learning the tricks of the trade from other users and the [[Starcore AI pack]]s. His tournament success in Stock has generally been quite respectable, and earned his first Tournament Championship from it. However, he generally does not use glitch techniques to build, only going as far as [[Stacking]] batteries most of the time.
 
  
−
'''DSL:''' GF93 also sometimes builds in DSL, but he considers himself less skilled there, having trouble building effective wedges in most cases. Almost ironically, two of his best tournament results were obtained using it.
 
  
−
GF93 also has a liking for building replicas of real-life robots, in both stock and DSL. In both cases, he enjoys building Flippers, Popups and Rammers.
+
In both Stock and DSL, he mostly enjoys building Flippers and Popups, but does like to experiment with other robot types now and then.

GF93 entered [[Badnik96]]'s "[[Replica Wars]]" tournament, with his DSL replica of the ''Robot Wars'' competitor, ''Cassius II''.
 
−
It won Round 1, defeating [[lloopp de lloopp]]'s ''Destructive Criticism'' and [[Badnik96]]'s "byebot" ''Silverback'', KOing Silverback by flipping it over, before winning the match on a tight Judge's Decision.
 
−
During the fight, Destructive Criticism damaged its Flip-up Paddle weapon, but Cassius II won the decision, due to its major role in KOing Silverback, and surviving convincingly until the end of the match.
 
−
Cassius II was then drawn against [[Craaig]]'s ''Bigger Brother'' in the Quarter Finals. Cassius II had a brief scare at the beginning of the Fight when Bigger Brother flipped it, but it landed on its wheels. It soon got underneath Bigger Brother and flipped it around the arena, before finally lining it up and tossing it out of the arena boundary for the win.
 
−
 
 
−
Its next tournament battle was with [[MikeNCR]]'s ''Frostbite''. Here, Cassius II started off well, flipping Frostbite around the arena, until Frostbite eventually wrecked its Flip-up Paddle weapon, and slowly caused considerable damage to its chassis until cease was called. Cassius II did manage to survive convincingly until the end of the match (Pushing Frostbite around the arena in the process), so a Judge's Decision was called, in which Frostbite won.
 
−
Cassius II's final official match took place before the Grand Final itself, where it fought ''Revolutionist'', built by [[JoeBlo]]. This was the fastest match win in Replica Wars, in which Cassius II immediately got underneath Revolutionist before it could spin, before proceeding to toss it out of the arena to take '''Third Place''' in the Tournament overall.
 
−
 
 
−
Even though its tournament run has ended, GF93 sent an improved version of the robot to enter the Grudge Matches due to be held at the end of the tournament. Unfortunately, the Wild Cards were cancelled due to lack of interest. It did however, mean the awards could progress. Cassius II was eventually voted '''''Coolest Robot''''' in the tournament due to its looks, OOTAing capabilities, and durability throughout the tournament, taking a battering in two rounds but never losing by KO.

GF93's second tournament entry was into [[N00b Warz 3]], with [[Hog of War]]. In its First Round Melee, it primarily focussed on attacking the defending champion, [[Rust Monster]]. It did well, flipping Rust Monster around, but it ultimately lost after it pulled a Kamikaze charge on Rust Monster, pitting it. HOW could not stop in time however, so it went into the pit after Rust Monster did. In the score table for the match however, it placed second in terms of points, so was the best performing robot in the fight apart from [[Shibby]], the eventual winner.

When [[Joeblo]]'s US vs. UK Replica tournament was announced, GF93 was quick to enter. Representing the United Kingdom, his replica of the British Battlebots competitor ''Spitfire'' was originally due to fight [[Stagfish]]'s replica of the Robot Wars competitor ''V-Max'', but after the tournament ownership changed, so did the brackets. As a result, Spitfire's first opponent was changed to [[Badnik96]]'s robot ''Phere''. Here, Spitfire had a brief scare at the beginning of the fight after it flipped itself over on Phere's wedge, but was able to recover from it, before flipping Phere over and onto a corner grinder to immobilise and win.
 
−
 
 
−
In the Quarter Finals, GF93's next opponent was [[Thyrus]]'s replica of the RW Extreme Warriors competitor ''Night Stalker'', a Shell spinner which has previously... let Naryar's entry ''Bad Attitude'' lose by itself.... This was an easy victory for Spitfire due to the contrasting types of the robots, allowing it to flip it over and push it around the arena, before flipping it out of the arena to win by KO.
 
−
 
 
−
Unfortunately for GF93 however, his next opponent was [[Pwnator]]'s VS ''Dark Striker'', which had destroyed two of its previous opponents, including the heavily favoured ''Steel Reign'', built by [[Jack Daniels]]. When the fight began, Dark Striker immediately pulled off the wedge from Spitfire's flipping arm, rendering it useless.  After some counter-ramming from Spitfire from around the rear of Dark Striker, Dark Striker eventually got under the British robot and knocked it upwards with its rotating blades to gutrip it, eventually KOing Spitfire and eliminating GF93.
 
  
−
Later, GF93 asked about the possibility of a Third-Place playoff against [[Scrap Daddy]]'s ''Aces and Eights''. When this was denied due to time restraints, GF93 and Scrap each recieved joint Third-Place overall, resulting in the second time GF93 has reached the final four in a tournament.

Spitfire was also nominated for the "Unluckiest Robot" award in the tournament, but lost out to Bad Attitude.

Memorable Quote
-"Could there be a replica of Cassius 2 in DSL 3?"


GoldenFox93, more often known by the nickname of GF93, is a user on the Gametechmods forums. Hailing from Lincolnshire in England, he actually joined in 2007, thinking that he needed to have an account to download stuff on the website, but it turns out it didn't. As a result, he initially only posted a couple of times, but then left and forgot about his account. About two years later, he rediscovered it and is now a regular on GTM, becoming one of GTM's most recognizable figures in the off-topic sections of the forum. Goldenfox also established a relationship with SOTG until October 2013, to the amazement of most people.

Used to be picked on a lot by Naryar, who found tormenting him hilarious, although this has since died down. Whilst less active on GTM as of 2013, he does still show up on odd occasions. However, GF93 is no longer active on GTM as of February 2014.


Building Style

Stock: Average. Mostly draws inspiration from the bots in the Starcore AI packs. Has very little knowledge of glitches such as stacking and snapper/axle loading.

DSL: Also Average. On odd occasions builds competitively, but he mostly tends to stick with building replicas and IRL-style designs.


In both Stock and DSL, he mostly enjoys building Flippers and Popups, but does like to experiment with other robot types now and then.
