    It depends on the weapon, making sweeping assumptions isn't helpful.

    Different weapons do different things. Units use whatever suits them the best.

    Personally, I think all Bots should use Rocket Cheetahs for ammunition, as they are the single fastest land mammals in existence, and they also probably have teeth or something so they can nosh on their enemies up reaching the target.

    just an idea: bots that are really squishy but can "blink" short distances and have a very powerful shotgun/flamethrower/any strong short range weapon.

    TA-style colour coded lasers. TA-style carpet bombers. Flamethrowers and lighting guns. Crackling balls of dark energy.

    Hmm, squishy slow short ranged units... Sounds like a recipe for units that get blown up before they do any damage.

    What they should shoot is an interdimensional portal which releases dinosaurs on impact, obviously

    i would love to see some Cybran-Style energy Weapons, like the Disintegrator Pulse Laser, Molecular Ripper etc, just from the visual effect.
    From a view of gameplay i would preffer a mix.
    Some Units with energy based weapons like Pulse Lasers or Plasmablasts, some with (Antimatter)Cannons, some with Rockets etc...a good mix
    Even Flamethrowers or something like that could be fun. so don't want to have only one specific type of weapon for Bots
