BackSlash is a good example on how NOT to build a weaponed flipper, or a flipper for that matter. It has a high ground clearance (which spells doom for a flipper), and the way its axe heads are placed means that if it did get under anouther robot, it would be nearly incapable of doing damage. Also, it's underpowered, and cannot self right because the weapon keeps breaking off when doing so
The DSL version of BackSlash is a True Popup called SlashBack.
As far as DSL AI goes, it is probably the best DSL AI MW, equaling Tempest's power in battle. While not very damaging, SlashBack is fast and has one of the best skirt hinge wedges of all DSL.
Builder: Clickbeetle
Weight class: MW
Weapons: 4 irons
Weapon power:2 Mag Snappers

Trivia: Slashback is probably the father of all modern-day popups in DSL, using the standard MW popup drive.
