It's hard to not take Pixonic's pricing of Butch as a big "「fluffernutter」 you".

In terms of the price to effectiveness ratio, Doc is the only one that passes.
Jesse is too squishy to be effective, but his price is "alright" Butch has a lot of firepower potential, but his price breaks the bank

They totally worth it, expecially Doc that if well used is the true universal soldier jesse and butch are less versatile but in terms of fun and performance wild bunch have no rival!

I'm going to get 2 Docs if the price is 7K. I have the spare 14K Au and I don't think the Dash bots are coming any time soon.
I've waited a long time to buy the Doc for Au, so this isn't an impulse buy.

You can get an Ancilot, Galahad, and Fury for the price of Butch. Nuff said.

Already got a Boootch, but wouldn't mind winning another. Granted, they're super spendy. I'll just spin the wheel of morality and hope I get lucky again ?

You know, if your really going to feed your kids ramen, you can at least make it home made.
The secret to great home made ramen is the fact that the noodles should be alkali, and you can do this by baking, baking soda. Tons of great recipes out there for this, and its a hell of a lot cheeper and better than store bought ramen. Google up alkali noodles for better instructions than I can give.
The broth is trickier, but you can get away with a lot here, assuming that you buy some decent but cheep ingredients: Good soy sauce (you will probably need to find an asian market) good quality seaweed, and miso paste. Seaweed gets broken up into boiling water, miso gets added then soy sauce. You can also cheat at this point and add some soup base, and MSG if you want (yes I'm suggesting MSG in your broth it is for mouth feel). No ratios here because it is all down to personal prefrence and what your ingredients taste like!
After that what ever veggies are cheep, and hard boiled eggs will round out the dish. Frozen mixed veggies will do in a pinch but there are lots of better alternatives. If it is crunchy (broccoli springs to mind) steam for a few minutes and then ice bath it. It will hold in the fridge for a few days this way and you just need to throw it into the soup to warm.
Im hungry now...

Maybe this is the cure to boredom that mijapi300 was talking about.

I spent cash on my Galahad, Lancelot, Fury and 5th slot because I just joined the game recently (late February 2017) . I have always been wondering how the WW bots perform but now look at the price I'm sure i won't need them anymore =))

I'm not convinced that they're high on the power level. Certainly not the Jesse or Doc. Even the Butch for those who have it isn't some unbeatable monster. More like collector's items.

These are not match-swinging bots. They are fun to play bots. Yes, a quad Treb Butch on the full volley can take out a light bot. That isn't going to stop a RDB Griff at 500m. They are still glass cannons. I've seen seen less than 20 in the last 500 matches I played, and only the Treb Butch had any sort of impact - and that was to draw the fire of every bot on the field. Look through the threads, no one plays them unless it is their "fun 5th" drop. I wanted a Butch because with the Tridents it looks like a gun-slinger. So it was novelty. I think Dredd77 's analysis speaks as a synopsis of the many discussions that have been had on the forum and elsewhere (Reddit). They are fun but would you play one if like serious gold was on the line? Or a clan battle?

I could buy two Gareths for one Jesse. And kill two Jessies with one Gareth...

Oh man please save your gold and do not buy a Doc. 7000 gold is a lancelot or fury with a nice start on a load out. A doc is a very sad little bot that can't kill much of anything, and maaan can it not take a punch. I levelled one to nine and after losing my mind trying to make it work, I threw it back in the hangar, grabbed a carnage with two thunders on it and sent some reds straight to heck.

Maybe you have to learn how to use it, i run one 8/8 tulu doc regulary in my main hangar killing dozeens of galahads,lancelots,gareths,rhinos (same lvl or above) also at knife fighting range if i have a cover to play my game Doc is the best "all around maps" of wild bunch
