Sometimes when your surrounded by the other team directly and ready to die to get into one of your other bots. I wish you could self destruct upon eject to cause some extra damage to the opposing team around your bot.

Yes! Kamikaze! We need a self-detonating weapon!

I think most pure knife fighters already are kamikazes. But I sure would like to detonate my bot right in their face, just before I am destroyed. That would be awesome. BOOM!!! Take that sucker!

Great idea, but of course can't help but point out an immediate problem- not that it couldn't b worked around, but the innate issue w kamikaze functionality is that as soon as u gain the lead, u can just hide near beacons and kamikaze any approaching red 1 for 1 until the match ends and there's nothing ur opponents can do to swing it back the other direction.

Just ideas,
Well the self destruct wouldn't be powerful enough to instantly kill an opposing bot(s) with decent health. Rather just inflict extra damage as a final tactic in hopes you take someone out also that's been battle damaged.
Maybe (big maybe) even have a time delay countdown and not instant. This way the opposition has a chance to get you before you get them?

I would consider this an honorable War Robots death, taking someone out with me! You've got my vote for this. Lately I've gotten more and more Reds who eject from their bot right before I finish them off, usually after an extended back and forth. A little irritating since it seems intended to rob me of the kill. IDC much about the kill bonus - just want the satisfaction.  |

Good idea except getting taken out by an enemy who kamikazes as a way of taking him down with you. Pretty cheap kill in my book.

It might make an interesting weapon. Certainly more than those pulse spheres from the test server a while back. I don't like it as a default ability but giving up weapon slots for a one-shot kamikaze weapon might be viable.

There was a chance of a destroyed mech exploding in the older Mech Assault game that was on the original Xbox and it worked well. I don't like the idea of being able to choose to detonate though, since I see that sort of thing becoming abused to the point of being annoying. I think it would be a good feature if it was just a ramdom chance if a bot was destroyed. Maybe even a chance of different levels of explosion. It should also do friendly damage. Maybe only bots that are filled with explosives? It would make sense for a trident fury's rounds to go off inside it if it gets blowed up real good. I can't get behind every eject blowing up only the enemy though, that would be a mess.

They had the self destruct mechanic down in pokemon where it is a very powerful move, but only some bots have it, and the ability takes up a 'weapon slot'

I hope everyone supporting this realises from a gameplay point of view that this could potentially make brawlers less appealing and midrange, long distance and indirect fire more popular in order to avoid taking on-death damage from your targets.
Is that what you really want? A meta with more distance combat and indirect fire?
