Graphics

Judge's Comment: These sprites are god damn awesome, and the reviving is beautiful.
I bloody love the look of those zombots, they are well defined and don't lack anything in any particular area.
The sounds are giving of an atmosphere of helplessness when they are charging for ya, just like they should.
I can see no flaws what so ever about these. Jus fucken love em.

Mod Mechanics

First impressions are that I'm not sure what I'm meant to be judging.
I think just the new scavenger bot, so let's roll.

Offsets were minimal, but they are of decent quality.
Everything has a description, and there isn't anything buyable which shouldn't be.

His Lua is better than mine. :P
However, I can't see anything which could readily be improved, other than a couple of unnecessary empty lines and his tabbing, which varies in quality.

He has AngularVel on a couple of things which don't need it even a little bit, but he doesn't reference any vanilla modules, other than Base.rte. His ini is otherwise excellent, with comments used logically rather than spuriously.
He also doesn't have any gibs on his magazines! I am rejoicing. :)

His folders are chaotically organised, and generally it is quite confusing to look through, with sounds, ini, and sprites all in the same folder, though the devices do have their own folder. He uses InstanceName in a couple of cases.

Mod Mechanics (2)

Pros:
- Reviving
- Metal material scavneging
- To kill grunt you must blow up head!
Cons:
- Previously entered resurrected mod from MC5.
- Making it still original but where's the economy factor?
While it is awesome, it has nothing to do with economy unless you mean spending.

Also, it's an old mod with some improvements.

Gameplay

These things are just too useful. Gameplay with these things is quite an experience, and they come in handy no matter what. The score would have been a ten, but a lack of suitable theme and the fact that the mod has remained unchanged for so long don't allow it that final point.
