0-2 Clockwork Giant 130000 2 5 2 10 Mighty Blow, Thick Skull, Bone Head, Big Guy, Very Long Legs, Break Tackle, Sure Feet S

Spinbot 100k 3 7 3 7 Thick Skull, Ball & Chain, Mighty Blow
AI Bob 140k 6 3 4 7 Dodge, Pass Block, Shadowing, Undead, Regenerate
Re-roll counter: 60000 gold pieces each
Apothecary: Yes
Wizard: No
Fluff
Clockwork Giant: Robot big guy. Has to roll to stand up, but this is countered by starting with break tackle and having high av
Hover Robot: A fast agile player without ball handling abilities. Supposed to be used as a blitzer. The -str in the skill list represents that he is technically a str3 player suffering a -str injury, allowing him to take mighty blow on doubles, and possibly becoming str5 should he be lucky enough to roll 3 +str(0.068% chance, if he makes it to legend status)
Robot: Standard lineman. They have thick skull, representing their tough inorganic bodies. They cannot be thrown like most stunties, as they are far to heavy to be thrown.
Spinbot: Secret Weapon star. Expensive, doesn't get a lot of movement, but has mighty blow.
AI Bob: Another star player. Has passblock and shadowing, representing his ability to quickly learn from his opponents actions and predict them. The undead and regeneration skill represents the fact that he repairs himself, but is to complex for the teams apothecary to be able to repair
The apothecary is more like a mechanic, rewiring damaged circuitry and welding severed limbs back in place |
I have bolded the areas of contention. Whattaya guys think of this offering? |

Ah man..... I saw some undead at the GT.... so good..... they were all necrons, except they had clockwrk keys in their backs... so cool.... would make a decent "instead of undead". |

The Clockwork Giants shouldn´t start with Break Tackle and ,most of all,, no cheap mechanical device mimicking a Ball&Chain should be stronger than a Gobbo on fungus beer!!! |

The break tackle skill is there because it represents the giants long legs and its ability to step over most players |

You cant veto secret weapon players, they will just sneak them in anyway. |
