Back in the days of Battlebots and Robot Wars, there was an archetype that was basically a horizontal spinning weapon. This was my favorite because it was the most violent type of bot and did the most damage, actually being able to make knockouts. These were the bots that changed the meta and had to be gameplanned around, finally being defeated by wedge designs that could deflect and mitigate some of their force and eventually pin them. Regardless, I still have a fondness for them and I used to wonder as a kid what it would look like if one of those spinning weapons ever made contact with something like a human ankle or shin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6BuRKlGkqM

Never quite got the destruction I was hoping for in battle bots Really just wanted to see one of them get exploded into a million pieces
