BackSlash is a Middleweight Weaponed Flipper for HIGH VOLTAGE. Like several of the flipper-type bots, it has a weapon component as a flipper, but it isn't very effective.

Builder: ?

Weight class: MW

Weapons: 2 axe heads

Weapon power: DDT

Drive: 4WD RAD with miniwheels

Armor: Titanium

Power: 1 nifty, 1 pink battery


BackSlash is really weak. It has a high ground clearance, 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 a top MW, rivaling Tempest in battle. While not very damaging, SlashBack 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

Drive: 2WD NPC Fast with Hypno wheels

Armor: 3mm titanium

Power: 3 battlepacks

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