Some form of Robot Race

[Qwert616]

I have been toying around with an idea for a new race. I'm just brainstorming about it so nothing is really official.

Okay... I wa thinking about some form of robots...(I know not very original). There town would probably be found in the "won't budge door" in Z-Labs. The robots were originally designed for mining/ digging but after the whole thing about Z-Labs they were thought to be destroyed.
The actual look of the robot is still being worked on. I'm thinking about making it a rather fat looking robot. It has a small head and a big body. Then on the bottom is a needle(or a jet like thing depending on the image). For arms it would probably have a weapon attached to each hand. (Spikes, axe etc. Once again depending on the skin).
I was thinking about giving them some unique techinques for fighting.(Since the Bommys weren't exactly built for fighting) One of the ideas is to have a strafe button. If a player holds "A" and then a direction then they move that way while still facing that way. This could add a little edge in fighting. Also instead of owning a live robot you can buy an item called a shell. It allows (Humans & Bommys) to ride inside of the robot. When like this they gain some of the abilities of the robots. They will also have some special reaction to jolt bombs.
I will add more to the story line, abilites, etc. but this is just a basic outline of the character. It may change (may not be a robot) in the future. Below is an EXTREMLY basic picture of one of them. I also need to think of certain jobs that they can perform and if they can go into water...

Sorry for all the reading.
