aside from the hmg and missile launcher, what other optional bits does the box come with? is there also options for combi and flash pulse? Also, how are people attaching them to the base? with those tiny little pointy feet spikes im worried about being able to keep them attached to the base
The PanO Dronbots contain one each of the HMG, Missile Launcher, Combi, and Flash Pulse - the YuJing Yaokong remotes pack is the same (though their weapon designs are different). I drilled holes and used tiny magnets in the weapons and the bodies of the remotes so that I can swap them out depending on my 'build' and it's worked well for me so far. For the tiny pointy feet, at the very least you'll likely want to drill divots into the base with a pin-vise so that that you can settle the feet into them, which will give you a better glue hold. I've found that the feet were too thin for me to pin with wire, but if you're patient and have very fine wire you could drill holes fully through the base, run wire through the tips of the feet, and bend it through the hole for a better grip before gluing. Alternatively the feet tips themselves are about the width of a paperclip, so if you're really worried about a good hold you could trim off the existing foot, drill a hole into the fatter portion of the leg, and plant a longer 'foot spike' from a paper clip that could go all the way through a hole drilled in the base. This is probably overkill though. If you're doing earthen-style bases it's a bit easier to reinforce the feet because you can really slop the glue around them and then cover it with flock/dirt. For a clean 'tech' base it's a bit harder though and to some extent you just have to be careful. It does help that the drones' weight is fairly evenly balanced across four feet, though. Here's a quick cellphone snap of the drones with their additional weapons (both PanO and YuJing) with some of the weapons turned so you can see the magnets
Wait. Does the Husong have a retarded PanO-style reversed mag, or does it attach to the drone chassis and pretend to be an ammo belt?
As for mounting them on the bases ... I usually use a 1-1.5mm drill bit in my pin-vice and make little divots where the feet will go You don't have to drill THROUGH the base, just into it a little. A drop of glue into each divot, and they are then the bond is more of a cup than a point bond. I've had my old dronbots done like this since the start of N2, and they're still attached.
