Introduction
Hello!
With the latest patch Freejam have introduced robots you can buy with Real Life money, and while I say support Freejam 100% I think so people would love to build the robots shown, but can’t afford the RL money.
Never fear I have done a video guide for just this reason, it shows the whole process and as long as you have the CPU and cubes it can be yours for $0.00!!
Hopefully you enjoy it, if you don’t like my british voice mute me and just follow the video!

Tier 2 Robot – Plasma Hover “Apache”
This is the Tier 2 Flyer in the Roboshop, it is a low flying plasma hover. It is fairly sturdy and has 2 Electro plates seen here;
My personal advice would be to add 2 more plasma cannons somewhere but that would mess with the Tier ranking, so possibly add the top cannons below.
Regardless this is an *exact* copy of the shop, as long as you have the CPU for it, you can build it with my guide!

Tier 3 Robot – SMG Tank “Mean Machine”
This is the Tier 3 Tank “Mean Machine”.
It is pretty high CPU but it looks the business, and plays quite well but thats likely due to having 900 CPU in Tier 3!
Personally I’d opt for less wheels and higher tiered ones to stop them being shredded, but this video shows the *exact* copy!
Enjoy
Tier 5 flyer soon!
Tier 3 – Railgun Tank “Marksman”
This is the Tier 3 Railgun Tank called “Marksman”
It is a Level 3 armored sniper, and having played it, not very good but hey ho this is what they’ve made!
This robot is a much more acceptable 621 CPU for Tier 3, with 4 Tier 4 Rail guns it can if left alone do some damage.
It has alot of glass which to mean is just a “shoot here” target it is a quirky looking robot tho!
Enjoy;
[link]Tier 3 – “Trax” Plasma Catapillar Track Tank
This is the first of the latest roboshop robots “Trax”
He is very very well done by Freejam, he looks good, he’s compact and not insane CPU for T3. Very tough and using the latest movement cubes of catapillar tracks he should be a Tier 3’s go to robot!
He can be easily customisable and is very worth building!
5/5 Freejam!
[link]Tier 4 – SMG Hover “Honeydew” Charity Bot
Honeydew;
This is the latest robot, the “honeydew” which is ahomage to Yogcast. It is a charity bot and for that purpose alot of the cosmetics you cant buy unless you get the robot, but its all for a good cause! So if you want it in its perfect for go buy that!
But if you want the knockoff version look no further;
[link]It’s ok but high CPU for a Tier 4 robot, still, nice design, very stable, a tad cheaty with the T5 plates in T4 as you can’t normally get them. Still overall fun bot!
Tier 5 Robot – Plasma Flyer “Plasma Bomber”
This is the T5 Flyer “Plasma Bomber”
It is possibly the best looking of all the designs and actually at 850ish CPU not bad to make.
It sports 5 Tier 5 Plasma Guns which perhaps a tad weak for the T5 bracket do some good damage. It does not fly as high as one would like and is not the quickest but it certainly looks good. It can take a fair bit of damage and the electroplates protect the wings and Rudders.
A solid flyer by Freejam and one I can’t bare to delete currently!!
Enjoy;
[link]Tier 5 – SMG Hover “Quarterback”
A special Thanksgiving robot build to celebrate the tradition Football played in America on this day, it introudced T4 “Quarterback Cubes” and “Shoulder guards” Tier 5 EP’s reskinned. Nice but mainly cosmetic.
This is what the robot looks like;
And the video to accompany it, cube by cube!
[link]Overall it’s pretty decent, but it should be at 1180CPU! For Tier 5! But regardless it looks very good and floats a treat, at the end I show some practical changes I would make to the vehicle to make ti more “Real world” ish and not so design based!
Enjoy!
T5 Healing Hover – “Nano Medic”
So you like to heal?
Here is the T5 “Nano Medic” build from the roboshop;
Not a bad little hover!
This robot is quite a balanced little thing, and while nice asthetics if you watch to the end of the video you have a much more balanced robot with changes I make, but if your a purist the entire basic design is done cube by cube.
Estimated cost: 130-150 k RP
The main issue is the T8 red armor cubes, but I think changes I make around the 40 min mark work *alot* better.
Tier 5 – “Cobra” Helicoptor Bomber
After a short break this is Freejams latest “Roboshop” Robot – Tier 5 “Cobra”
This is a clean and pretty if not a tad simplistic Helicoptor by Freejam. I wont say this thing is going to take you to Tier 10 but with some tweaks I’m sure it would server you well as a bit of fun.
The armor is a tad weak and as you can see under fire it cannot really hold up. Never the less a fun little build!
Enjoy;
[link]Tier 6 – “Overwolf” Wolf Legged Plasma
This is the latest Roboshop robot, released to celebrate the overwolf patch!
It looks quite cool and uses the new blocks and 4 of the new “wolf” legs. A full build guide can be seen here; *Video due roughly 6pm GMT 21/11/2014, please check channel for updates*
[link]Having built it, I would say it’s not worth the cost, it struggles to move and turn and frankly doesn’t do very well, but at least it looks good. Note you can only get the wolf face if you buy the robot, so you may have to be like me and imrpovise!! 🙂
Estimated costs of around 300-500k.
T7 Reaper – Special Halloween Interceptor!
This is T7 Reaper a special Halloween version of the Roboshop Robot!
He is a T7 inteceptor equipeed with 3 T8 SMG’s, and honestly is a bit of a gnat and is not a strong Robot 🙁 But he does look cool! Interesting design with a few tweaks at the end to make it mor ebattle viable!
Enjoy;
[link]Tier 7 Robot – SMG Hover “Rebel”
This is the final robot in the Roboshop the “Rebel”
This is a fast moving, low flying SMG hover vehicle. A word of caution it is exceedingly CPU intense, even at Level 60 I could not put 6 guns on it, it comes in at 1192 CPU.
Also the cubes for it are about 200 yellow, and 200 blue plus 2-4 Tier 8 Hovers and Tier 6 hovers, engines and electroplates.
Estimated RP cost – 750k RP.
It is fairly sturdy and ingame did quite well, although not shown. I was unable to put its full arsenal on it, although if I were to tweak it I’d move the radar to the lower rear cubes and add 2 guns underneath mirroring the front two guns as oppose to side.
Enjoy;
[link]T7 VENEMOUS – Scorpion Walker Bot
This thing is amazing!
Video;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-0fkF7uaDI
It doesn’t play great but by god it looks like a beast! With 6 T7 plasmas and walkers and a massive tail you will be the envy of everyone.
Total build cost: 800k to 1.2million and requires 1184 CPU minimum.
Beautiful robot! 😀
T7 “Scarab” – Healing Flying-Walker
So the latest robot, Scarab is out! My apologies for being a bit late!
Looks good doesn’t it. Well it does! Here’s the video;
The robot is a fine balance just on the edge of Tier 8. Freejam has made this thing adapt at climbing, walking and flying, although it’s speed is leaves something to be desired.
I will say it’s overall cubage is quite small, coming in around 200 cubes! But don’t let that fool you, it’s probably at least 1-2 million RP for the full robot. Hope you enjoy!
Tier 7 – “Tesla Dart” Nano Hover with Tesla Blades
This is the second Tier 7 Roboshop Robot that was released in the latest patch by Freejam, and like Trax it is an excellent robot.
Made with surprisingly few cubes and full of Nano healing power this thing really is the pinnicle of support. It’s main role is healing don’t forget that, but when your tank is getting damaged you can ram and often win the fight with your comrades.
It is well balanced and agile and incredibly fast, Highly recommended should be a port of call for any aspiring robot maker!!
Some changes I would recommend is the EP to 2 Tier 6 and adding 2 more T7 nano’s to the vehicle, this increases the CPU to 950ish but makes a big difference healing wise!
[link]BONUS SECTION – Tier 10 Versions!!
Added onto this guide I will now give you Tier 10 versions of the Roboshop robots, all have been tweaked and adjusted to play in Tier 10, with varying results. Some of them (Apache) just look awesome!
Tier 2 “APACHE” –
[link]This thing looks cool and actually plays pretty damn well!! Multiple EP’s added and a range of high tier cannons.
Tier 4 “MARKSMAN”
[link]This thing looks ok, but honestly it is not that great, the build doesn’t really convert well to T10!
Tier 5 – Plamsa Bomber
[link]The flyer looks amazing and the first flyer that actually looks like a full on jet. Unfortunatley it struggles with thrust and balancing it was incredably long winded, which is why its not cube by cube, too complex!
But still it looks awesome! Enjoy
