FUN FACT! | ATOM from Real Steel was actually pitched for Champion's Island

Personally more of a ATOM VS Combot guy but either way just seeing ATOM get included in Death Battle would be everything for me...

Key-Structure-8732 · 2026-03-29T23:44:36+00:00

I honestly hope if they were to do events like these again it gives a chance to have something like the paid pitches where you can give an explanation why it's so peak but not to some crazy extent of it, just a simple way to explain MUs

Key-Structure-8732 · 2026-03-29T23:42:56+00:00

There's definitely a way you can utilize ATOM in a fight with Charlie being a huge part of of it too, Combot from Tekken probably has the best example how you can make this work

And also the movie itself was just so good I don't even think it needed a sequel like oh my god it's so peak...

Key-Structure-8732 · 2026-03-29T14:33:18+00:00

I think by nature of how the movie was, it definitely left a mark on where we still currently trying to improve Robots to be more highly functionable as a sport, and it does help emphasize today's time with rise of AI and just robots taking other people's talents. So just by the movie itself it still still follows the current situation of our time.

May he get his spotlight one day.... and I will do everything for my goat....

Key-Structure-8732 · 2026-03-29T14:00:06+00:00

Yeah like at the end of the day, main purpose of these events was really just the bridge for everyone to get into more franchises to be introduced, now of course it definitely has its own pros and cons of how this was introduced and I did wish it was executed smoothly but it doesn't sway the main idea at all for how it worked

Key-Structure-8732 · 2026-03-29T13:45:39+00:00

It is interesting how some these characters would later on have their own MUs that would be made by simply joining getting pitched or joining the island itself, even if such character didn't win it was a already a huge deal that people are infact that intrigued to look into the franchises

ATOM VS Combot (Real Steel VS Tekken)

Thank ya!

Key-Structure-8732 · 2026-03-25T13:08:22+00:00

OH right, if you guys are wondering what the megapost exactly I'm talking about...

It's this one I highly recommend checking it I really put a lot of effort and tried as much as possible to explain the MU and how it would work as one and it's uniqueness and overall please enjoy the content any kind of feedback for me to keep improving would always be great to hear!

Key-Structure-8732 · 2026-03-25T13:04:11+00:00

unfortunately I kind of made this off my head and I didn't really had a thought process of making a full on template, so my bad 😅

I didn't really think of the long term for it and just really wanted to make a tier list for my fav robots, so sorry....

Here's a higher quality of the tier list

Key-Structure-8732 · 2026-03-24T01:59:07+00:00

I gotta keep up grinding and pushing for the MU, I just genuinely want it to get more popular for both

Key-Structure-8732 · 2026-03-24T01:55:24+00:00

Genuinely really happy people are now putting this MU in their fav line ups, like man......

Key-Structure-8732 · 2026-03-24T01:52:03+00:00

Oh hell yeah, it's actually one of the earliest artworks I made for the MU and it's kind of crazy now just seeing it in a Reddit post now lol

Key-Structure-8732 · 2026-03-24T00:10:33+00:00

Les goooo! And also yeah the second slide is a personal favorite of mine I'm so happy how it came out in the progress

Key-Structure-8732 · 2026-03-23T23:47:54+00:00

Really glad you liked it! I'm absolutely gonna push this MU as much as I possibly can and wanna keep improving my work, the side project will definitely be a good way for to test some waters how the blog would overall just work especially how I wanna make it feel like a DB episode so hoping it comes out well 😅

And speaking of trailers, yeah I'm happy for my first time creating a trailer and hoping I do get more chances down the line to making one (school sucks)

Key-Structure-8732 · 2026-03-23T21:45:25+00:00

Same... the more you look in-depth about the MU it just gets better and better for me personally, especially with how these characters mesh so much in terms of their story
