Goldenfox93 is a user on the Gametechmods forums, currently ranked as SuperHeavyweight.

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. About two years later, he rediscovered it, and now tends to post more regularly.

The self-proclaimed "Biggest fan of Cassius II on the Internet Today", GoldenFox93 (Or GF93, as most people on GTM call him) possesses an unmatched love on GTM for the "Cassius" robots, particularly the second version, Cassius II. So much so in fact, he built three different replicas (Two Stock and One DSL, which he entered into Replica Wars) of it, and also proudly displays it on his standard Avatar.

He is also a big fan of the "Roller Coaster Tycoon" games, becoming the host and a regular poster in a thread he dedicated to the popular Theme Park-building simulator. It is also the reason why he calls himself the "Coaster King" in his personal text (At time of writing)

He also has a liking for Pits in Arenas, and in his designs for Arenas (Typically on Microsoft Paint and Rollercoaster Tycoon 2), tries to include at least one in every arena he designs. When he was criticised by Naryar over his use of pits in the arenas he designed, he responded in kind by creating the infamous PUT THIS IN YOUR SIGNATURE IF YOU LIKE PITS IN ARENAS signature text, which has been adapted (and parodied) by a few users.

Recently, GF93 thought about leaving after getting bullied by System32, but reconsidered after the forum told him not to. The incident was resolved calmly, and System32 and GF93 are now on speaking terms again. GF93 also tends to get annoyed at ACAMS whenever ACAMS makes remarks about "Obongo", and has even jokingly tried to take over GTM in response.

Building Style and other Aliases

On top of this, he also has a liking for building replicas of real-life robots in Stock. He also builds in DSL every now and again, but considers himself less skilled in there when compared to Stock. In both cases, he enjoys building Flippers, Popups and Rammers.

GF93 is also on YouTube, under his alias there of "RobotwarsKing". A Link to his account can be found here.

Achievements and Tournament Entries All Time Win/Loss Record: 3 Wins, 2 Losses

Tournaments Entered

'Replica Wars': Cassius II (Third Place and Coolest Robot, 3 Wins, 1 Loss)

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.

'N00b Warz 3': Hog of War (Competed)

GF93's next 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.

'UK vs. US': Spitfire (Joint Third-Place, Unluckiest Robot Nominee, 2 wins and 1 loss)

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 FBS which has previously dispatched Naryar's entry Bad Attitude. 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.

Grudge/Ally Status

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

  • Trivia: His account is named after the third vehicle in F-Zero GX, the "Golden Fox". However, he finds this nickname fairly stupid, and may consider changing it.
