If you can hold off, I would wait a little longer to see what the currency is going to be for the dashers. If not, what does the rest of your hangar look like?

Well, mine looks like this:
1x Leo
2x Natashas
1x Griffin
That's all. I;m thinking about buying a Fuijin anyhow.

Rhino without a doubt. The speed buff has made it viable once again. Rhino piloting has a steep learning curve, but well worth it once you get it sorted.

Carnage.
Thunder Carnage is a beast close range.
Zeus or Trident Carnage are good builds for mid range.
Slap on some big guns if you want a mobile sniping platform.
Carnage has been the more consistent platform as well and can take you pretty far up the leagues if that's your thing. Will be interesting to see how the buffed Rhino fares with more play.

Based on the fact that you have two nats. Carnage. The weapons will transfer over.

I already bought a Stalker before, so I'm probs not gonna buy that. I'm thinking about Rhino, since my friend said that Carnage's shield is weak.

PS. I am a big fan of the buffed rhino. But that doesn't mean that the carnage is rubbish.
What are your nats armed with?

Hey guys, I have 15k WP now, may I ask which WP bot is the best for me to buy? Thanks. If I were you, I'd go Carny, extremely versatile and with the ancile buff coming up, I'd be riding my Carny more often!  |

Depends on how you prefer playing. But in general, unless you prefer snipping, you can't go wrong with either Carnage Thunder (TC) or a DB Rhino--but they aren't played the same way: One's more in your face because of the shield; the other has great firepower but needs to be more opportunistic.
Next time there's a test server, join and try them both out to see which one you care for more. Bear in mind a TC will need to be leveled to 9/10 to shine.

Based on the fact that you have two nats. Carnage. The weapons will transfer over. This. 10 points for moody . Whatever setup you're running on the Natasha (as long as it isn't Nashorns, Kang Dae or Zenits) will work on Carnage. What you lose in firepower with the two light weapons, you gain in agility. This increases your survivability and grants you the option of capping the odd beacon and just generally challenging the territory more. And make no mistake, this is a territory based game. |

The rhino is not easy to use. Quite fun apparently when you get the hang of it. Once committed to a move there is no going back (ok you can go back with shields lowered, slowly) A lot of people recommend using orkans and pins BUT that means getting close to 300 m to a target. Until I learn to use the rhino properly I would either use punishers molot and add support assistance to an attack by teammates OR tulus and pins. That means that you cannot go hell bent into an attack - keep distance to 500-519 mtrs and support your team mates.
Carnage is fun to use with two high level thunders. BUT agian a full frontal attack will get you killed. Wait for your target to be otherwise engaged and flank them (even better if you can get behind them)
A lvl 10 carnage has quite a good ancile actually. Thunders need to be 9 and upwards for a good amount of damage.
Unfortunately I cannot offer anything about the Fujin or Raijin. I really would like to try the fujin - it looks like a support bot more than anything.

Hey guys, I have 15k WP now, may I ask which WP bot is the best for me to buy? Thanks. Depends on your style of play. Raijin Lots of health. Gets stuck in parts of some maps. Slow as a drunk slug. Only two heavy slots. If you don´t want to move around and use it as a rather stationary sniper with Trebuchet, Raijin is your bot. Wouldn´t recommend. It´s just a big slow pile of metal. Fujin Pretty fast when upgraded. Three medium slots. Good tactical possibilitys with the shield. Useful to protect your team mates. Great damage output with three Tarans and unleashing Hell with three Orkans. Annoying with three Hydras. Good mid-ranger with Tumbulas. A very versatile bot but weak health. If you run into energy bots, you´re toast. Mastering the Fujin is hard. But would recommend. Carnage Ah. The big brother of Stalker. Unleashes hell with double Thunder and moves fast behind enemys. Also great as mobile sniper with double Trebuchet or double Trident. One bot to rule them all! It´s fragile with high fire power as you can get really fast close behind that one red guy you want to knock onto the floor. Would recommend. Stalker Ever wanted to be a real pain in the bum? Get this little nasty bot equipped with two Magnums and dance your game of death around much larger bots. They can´t turn as fast as you circle them and it´s great fun to kill large bots with it. Downside is: To master this bot you´ll take ages. But it´s worth it! Stalker is a great bot. Rhino With shield up, low fire power. Highly vulnerable to all kind of rockets and easy prey for fast bots, that get to the side or behind Rhino. Wouldn´t recommend. |

you just had 15k wp which means your fairly new and on midrange leagues
get the carnage!!! its fun, its fast, its versatile be a sniper, a suprise brawler, or a shield breaker with trident
one good thing about carnage is you that you can forget about those pestering enemy homing rockets, it also doubles as a beacon capper/to chase low hp bots.
and also..., spawn camping
you can get rhino later , rhino is boring and needs focused concentration and learning curve - and thats kinda like school.., it aint that fun
with the recent rocket buffs, the way of the rhino is a challenging road to follow

Later in the game you will have excess WSP and can get "the full set" if you wish. For now I would say certainly do not get a Raijin or Fujin. I have voted Carnage as the best choice early on, though I am on iOS so I haven't had a chance to try out the buffed Rhino yet.

I'd say to get a Carnage. I have three types of workshop bot: stalker, carnage and Fujin. The Carnage is by far the most fun to play, for me. I generally run it with Thunders as an ambush brawler, but I've had some good fun with Tridents for midrange. Carnage with 2x Zeus is apparently great, but I haven't had a chance to run it as I currently only have 1 Zeus.
Rhino is also very good, but despite the recent speed buff, I don't think it's quite as good as the Carnage, for a few reasons.
- Recent rocket buff means that more people seem to be running rockets, which isn't good for bots with a physical shield.
- Upcoming kinetic weapons buff - kinetic weapons do extra damage to physical shields. With that update on the way, your physical shield could get even flimsier.
- Ancile buff - while physical shields are getting devalued due to recent and upcoming updates, the Ancile is getting a buff sometime soon.
- Rhino only really has one style of competitive play: run straight at the enemy with shields up, and unleash hell when you get there. Then it's just attrition, as your shield only let's you advance or hold still. If you want to have a competitive loadout, you're running plasma and/or 300m rockets. While the Carnage perhaps isn't as brutal when charging straight at the enemy, you have a lot more options in terms of hit-and-run, flanking the enemy, etc. You can also vary the role, as it works well with a variety of heavy weapons.
