Can't remember it for the life of me and it's driving me nuts. I loved it.

Anyway, the stuff I remember:

It was for the PC. You controlled a fleet of big robots in a desert environment against other fleets of robots. There were only three robot types in the game...red, yellow and blue. The red one looked like a scorpion and had an awesome, instant kill missile in its tail. Can't remember what the other two had.

When you controlled a robot, you were in a first person view, shooting the crap out of other robots. You had to switch back and forth between your whole fleet in real time to invade the enemy's area and destroy their HQ, which was like a big tan dome.

The game's title, I THINK, had the word Bots or something in it...but I might be wrong on that. It was loads of fun and I'm trying to look it up, but none of the vague details I remember are helping.

Did anyone else have this game?

Maybe it's a Mechwarriors game?

So ends a saga older than time itself.
The World's oldest and fiercest army has been led to victory, and a lost generation
is delivered from its fear of extinction. As the sun sets over the
field of conflict the dinosaurs disperse, hoping never to set foot

...just checked. No, not Mechwarriors.

It was primitive polygon 3D stuff. Really pushed my 386 to the breaking limit. haha

Some type of Tank-styled game? (with aged green-lined polygons?)

Ouch, that's pretty vague. Hopefully you can remember a few more things about it, because I'm drawing a blank.

No...the robots DID control sort of like tanks. And I just remembered now that you could throw them into reverse, too, and walk backward while strafing or whatever...but not the green lines. It was a bit ahead of Star Fox SNES in terms of graphics. Slightly higher polygon count, and grittier looking polygons.

Gah. I know I'm being vague, but there's so little I remember about this game. Well, I remember that the manual was really thick, and that it came in a really cool looking box. But that doesn't help either.
