| Trivia | ||
| Often considered to be the most controversial member of GTM today that has not been permabanned yet. | ||
Asbestosstar is one of the more controversial members on GTM, quickly gaining legendary infamy for his arrogant trolling attitude, stubbornness, immaturity, stupidity, terrible bots, always being annoying, and poorly worded & barely readable posts. He seems to have two near-fetishistic obsessions, one with US president Donald Trump, and the other with Badnik96's tournament, The Cybernetic Colosseum. The latter is for the mere fact that it has "Colosseum" in the name. He got permabanned from the GTM and ARC Discord servers as a result of trolling Badnik non-stop on GTM, ARC (where Badnik is an admin), the Discord servers, and even Facebook. Ever since he was kicked out of both the GTM and ARC Discord servers, he has a habit of creating alternate accounts for them, but gets permabanned every single time due to his easily recognizable posts. He refers to this tactic as "spying" and "hacking". He drove Badnik to the point of cancelling the Cybernetic Colosseum, but fortunately the tournament made it into SBV, where Asbestosstar trolled Badnik once again, but was finally muted by Kill343gs. Due to his controversial behavior, Badger made up a new rule for his new tournament Complete Carnage that said that Asbestosstar is permabanned from all his tournaments from then on in. Tried to start a "fantasy" tournament that combined all metagames of RA2 into one, with Asbestosstar and his friend controlling the bots instead of AI'ing them. However, everyone aside from Asbestosstar knows that it is impossible to combine all metagames of RA2 into one. Never made it into signups because Craaig said it was against the rules to start a tournament without AI'ing the competing robots. Somehow owns a working Windows ME computer, and was whacked by many for that since ME is often considered to be Microsoft's worst operating system (Yes, even worse than Vista). At RoboGames 2017 where Asbestosstar was competing with Mouse, one of Badnik's friends (the announcer) told his parents about his behavior on GTM and ARC. Despite his behavior improving (because of that he was let back into the GTM Discord by 090901 under the terms not to annoy Badnik), Asbestosstar reverted back to his old ways after a week after he pestered Badnik once again about his Live Designs AI "Windows ME" team (thus being permabanned from the GTM Discord once again) and Badger about Complete Carnage, earning him his first ban. Gets muted by Kill on a monthly basis a couple of times due to his trolling and is heavily watched by the mods now. Notably right before getting muted again for trolling, Asbestosstar pestered Starcore about his Windows ME team.
Notable robots (RA2):
The Pacific Scrambler: His first-ever DSL robot in RA2 entered into 090901's joke tourney BBEAMS 7. It is often considered one of his best bots, and his only bot to ever win a battle after 09's hoverbot Singularity committed suicide and flew out of the BBEANS arena, and The Pacific Scrambler did nothing whatsoever. However, it had a much-tougher Round 2 matchup against Guldenflame's drumbot Steel Hide. It did well in the beginning, damaging it, but then Steel Hide made a comeback and almost demolished it. The Pacific Scrambler lost a wheel and was on fire, and flung out of the arena by the flippers.
Enter Bot Name: His second-ever DSL robot in RA2 which was entered into a challenge hosted by Enigma against 09's rear-hinged flipper 2d girls will never be real!!. Was an unrealistic DSL HW horizontal spinner type...thingy with floating components and a weirdly shaped chassis. As a plus, the horizontal spinner barely even worked. Lost 1-0 because it was easily flipped over by 09's robot and since it had no srimech, was counted out for a TKO. (Link to challenge: https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=19797.0)
Fluffy: His IRL-style "replica" of Fluffy which was entered into a challenge hosted by DemonOfTomorrow against Avalanche's horizontal spinner Fighter Mk. III, and often considered one of his best robots. Was an IRL DSL HW armed with an undercutting spinning bar (similar to that of the real Fluffy). Despite looking nothing like the real Fluffy, was actually quite agile and fast as well as being invertible, but suffered from exposed wheels and an exposed weapon motor. Lost 5-0 when it was repeatedly knocked out by Avalanche's robot, with the weapon motor being removed in all matches and with its wheels constantly removed. In a bonus match, even two Fluffy robots couldn't even knock out Fighter Mk. III. (Link to challenge: https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=19977.0)
Crapcan derby car - A Stock MW rambot entered into 09's Crapcan Derby 2017. Unknown at how well it did, as its melee has not been recorded yet. Suffers from non-invertability (as well as not having a srimech) exposed wheels, and car-steering. Surprisingly managed to survive at the end of its 4v4 melee due to jokebots, but still lost on points to Guldenflame's Baby's first Pop-Up?.
Get in the zone auto zone - A Stock MW axebot entered into Badnik's RA2 Mafia. Suffered from exposed wheels (again), non-invertability (no srimech again) and an easily removable axe. Was disqualified due to Assbees' inactivity.
Notable robots (IRL):
Dagger: His first robot; a heavyweight armed with a perfectly vertical but weak axe, and entered into RoboGames 2016, where it lost to OverEasy after it was flipped over and couldn't self right. Won by forfeit against Team Tiki's Vlad the Impaler II, and then it met Ray Billings' Swamp Thing in the Losers' Bracket, who it lost to on a judge's decision after a very dull battle because it's axe wasn't working, thus being eliminated from RoboGames 2016. Its design was based off of the BattleBots 5.0 entrant Golem.
Mouse: His second robot entered into RoboGames 2017; a heavyweight armed with a rear-hinged flipper. Its design was based off of Robot Wars competitor Prizephita. It had a surprising first win after Sluggo failed to move. It was then defeated by the now-infamous shovebot Whoops! which sent it down into the Losers' Bracket, where it fought Deviled Egg, and managed to knock it out after it suffered from reliability problems. It then met Sabre-X, where it shocked many by taking hit after hit from Sabre-X's horizontal flywheel because it was assumed that Mouse had weak armor. However, it then got high-centered on the arena wall, causing it to lose by TKO and be eliminated from RoboGames 2017.
