Short, yet sweet.
The 3d animation took me by surprise.
Reviews for "BOOM BOTS"
Come on, you can do even better!
i liked how you designed and animated the whole thing but the ending wasn't that great. I know, effects like explosions are really hard to make, but i think a crappy explosion would still look better than just writing "BOOM".
But since I'm a big fan of 3D-stuff the movie was still good.

I think you guys dont get that this animation takes about 2 weeks to do... try to make something like that then say something ! Job is done here i think 10/10 5/5
Please read, animator's perspective
It kinda breaks my hear now when I have to review CG pieces objectively, because ever since I started my animation studies in the fall I have learned how intensely hard it is to model, animate, texture, and light a computer animation. I have also become convinced that technical skill in animating is probably more important in CG than in flash. Well, I'll start with the basics.
The characters are well designed and rigged to move, and we definitely get a sense of weight here. The camera animation is pretty good, but it feels like we don't get a totally neat pullout at the end, at which point the composition of the face-off is critical.
I do commend the painstakingly made set pieces, only wishing that they were more interestingly textured and lit. I do not think that the stylized "Tankmen" look of abandoned buildings was translated flatteringly into CG.
The trouble with CG is that for the same amount of work as in flash you get a shorter film, so to create a "teaser" you need to generate a lot of interest with an extremely truncated piece--at least compared to what NewGrounds users are used to. With regards to character animation, this is also clearly not what to an animator of thelonelyduck's advancement would be a polished work. Altogether, it would take even more excruciating work to prepare CG for newgrounds big-time.
Cruel
I didn't see why they rated you so low. Why would you just be so mean and not show more?
