Killobite, MSSD, Tempest and Rupture through
Well done on this great tournament Sam, I look forward to the continuation of the mini tournament and I must ask will there be a RoboBash 2? I wish to enter :proud:
There may be a RoboBash Series 2, but I havent decided yet. ANYWAY, THE FINAL HEAT OF SERIES 1!!!!
* * *
Sam Park: Ah, yes. Its the final heat of Robobash 1! So far there have been 15 semi-finallists, which robot is going to make the last place for the semi-finals? Six brand new robots are coming to wreak havoc, and cause mayhem in the arena! ARE YOU READY TO ROCK!!!!!
(CROWD CHEERS)
Sam Park: Okay, LET THE WAAAAAAARS BEGIN!!!!!
(BATTLE 1!)
From Toronto, Ontario, Killobite 5.0!
Very similar to an earlier contestant, Nidhogg, its got a nice crusher and lifter combo which packs a wallop! The linear actuated bar at the rear also acts as a srimech, but the armour is doubtful. Will he give the opponents a nasty bite?
From Glasgow, Scotland, Metal Sonic Spin Dash!
Metal Sonic Spin Dash will fly by you in circles if youre not fast enough. Its got a mega-nasty attitude, 3000RPM front blade, and a nice top srimech. When you combine that with 6 wheel drive, and great traction, youve got a killer machine that will make Dr. Robotnik beg for mercy!
From Ormond Beach, Florida, The Revolutionist!
This robot hasnt had too much successes, except the part where it landed 2nd in the first US championships. Its got a full body spinner which spins at 1200RPM, but the lack of srimech might cause its downfall.
Roboteers, Stand By...!
Booth 1: Killobite 5.0, MSSD
Booth 2: Revolutionist
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!
Say hello to the first battle of the final heat! Revolutionist immediately spins up, but MSSD just... ah! MSSD slams into the Revolutionist, and sparks begin to fly! Killobite crashes their party, and now, Killboite gets under the Revolutionist, and clamps it! Now, the runner up of the first US Robot Wars is in dire straits, as it gets dragged into the hammers!
WHAM!
OH! The armour is taking a huge battering! Now, the Revolutionist gets away, but somethings wrong... Revolutionist has stopped spinning! MSSD now takes that as an advantage, and pushes the Revolutionist into the hammers again! The 50kg hammer comes down!
WHAM!!
OH!!! The hammer just smashes into the Revolutionist! Revolutionist gets away, but with only limited movement, because I think that hammer mustve disabled some mechanics. Killobite comes in and slams into the pit button. Now, Killobite slams into Revolutionist, and clamps it again! The armour is taking serious damage there! Now, Killobite spares the Revolutionist from any more damage by shunting it into the pit. BOOM!
CEASE!
Revolutionist fails to make a revolution.
Killobite and Metal Sonic Spin Dash go through!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------
Sam Park: Welcome back to RoboBash, where well be off with our 2nd battle of the evening. Two robots will make the podium, but one will be chopped up and made into food for the other bots!
(BATTLE 2!!!)
From Onehouse, Suffolk, Spring-BOK!
Looks like an antelope went on steroids! Spring-BOK has a launch pad powered by a few car springs, a Phillipper style set of srimechs on the sides, and its covered in orange fur? I think I smell burning... and that 8mm titanium underneath the fur looks a bit shabby,,,
From Shrewsbury in Shropshire, Rupture!
Rupture is here to rupture its opponents... literally. :proud: This bad boy has got a nice lifting arm for a weapon powered by magmotors, and some good pushing power, too. But above all, it keeps going, going and... erm... going!
From Gainsborough in Lincolnshire, Tempest Evil-est-Oution!
Tempest is more of a hit than the movie Marley and Me. It has a ring spinner that spins at 1000RPM max, and dishes out a nasty 83 kJ! However, it doesnt have that much pushing power and its sometimes difficult to contrrol.
Roboteers, Stand By...!
Booth 1: Spring-BOK, Rupture
Booth 2: Tempest
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!
And say hello to the last of the first round battles! The spinner of Tempest is spinning madly, and Rupture slams into Spring-BOK, and slams it into the wall!
WHAM!
OUCH! Thats gotta hurt! The fur is stripped off from Spring-BOK, and now Spring-BOK drives away, only to find Tempest!
CRASH!!!!
WOAH!! That attack sent Spring-BOK flying, and now, the fur is almost all gone and there is a huge gash in the rear end there! Now, Tempest gets up to full speed yet again, and Rupture meanwhile, is still chasing Spring-BOK! Spring-BOK turns and shows Rupture its front, but too late. Rupture gets underneath somehow, and slams Spring-BOK into TEMPESTS SPINNER!!!!
CRASH!!!!
CRUSHED... Thats all I can say. Now, the side armour has taken a HUGE battering, and look at that! The side srimech arm is ripped out of shape there! Now, Tempest crashes into the pit button, and opens the pit, and Spring-BOK and Rupture are still duking it out, there! Rupture has Spring-BOK in the air again, and pushes him into Tempest! Spring-BOK tries getting away, but... too late. :lame:
CRASH!!!!
OH... MY... GOD! That hit sends Spring-BOK flying, and look at the OTHER side, its also completely bent! To be honest, I think Spring-BOK has no movement left anymore, do you? I think that when Tempest hit it, Look at that! Just ripped apart there! The count is on!
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... OUT!!!
Now, Rupture pushes Spring-BOK into the flames! FWOOM! Ah, bot flambe in the action here! :proud: Now, Tempest spins down and spares Spring-BOK from taking any more damage and shunts it down the pit.
CEASE!
Spring-BOK, fated for the flames and pit. Better luck next time, Chris!
Rupture and Tempest go through!
Round 2
Killobite VS Rupture
MSSD VS Tempest
Tactics, Predictions and a pancake please.
None too bad there. Likewise, if you make a RB2, reserve me a spot. :proud:
Killobite 5.0 vs. Rupture
Well we still dont know how many wheels it has, but it doesnt matter how many wheels it has if Ive got it in the air. :proud: Get under, clamp, lift, carry to pit, and drop.
Metal Sonic Spin Dash vs. Tempest Evil-est-oution
MSSD is a capable rammer as well as a capable sawbot, but I think Tempest can pull off a KO here.
The end is nigh! :proud:
Michelle: And heres the magnificient Kody Kunz with his brilliant machine, Killobite! Hows it going?
Kody: Spiffing, mdarling, and you?
Michelle: Im doing great, thanks. Now youre up against... Rupture!
Kody: Wow, this is going to be easier than I thought. :proud: Eh, just get under the sides/back, and crush the top, and then... oh I dont know, drag it down the pit?:proud:
Michelle: Good luck.
Kody: Thank you.
Michelle: And heres AJ with his awesome machine, Rupture!
AJ: Yes, it is.
Michelle: Right then. You are up against... Killobite!
AJ: Well, the only thing I could do here, is lift it up and probably pit the damn thing.
Michelle: Right then, best of luck.
AJ: Thank you.
* * *
Sam: So, this is it. Oh yes, its storming time again. This is ROUND 2!!!
(BATTLE 3!!!)
Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome...
KILLOBITE!!!
RUPTURE!!!
Roboteers, Stand By...
Booth 1: Killobite
Booth 2: Rupture
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!
Killobite immediately presses the pit button, and the pit opens. Now, Rupture gets underneath the side, and lifts Killobite up and over! Good self-righting there by Killobite, and now, it gets underneath Rupture with the front forks, and pins it down! Theres a dent in the hardox armour of Rupture, and now, it gets dragged into the hammers! The hammer comes BLASTING DOWN!!!
WHAM!
OH! Rupture gets one in the top armour! Now, Rupture gets away, and gets under the sides! Now, it slowly lifts Killobite onto its back, but Killobite self-rights. Now, Killobite fights back, with its own weapon... and Rupture gets clamped! Now, Rupture cannot seem to get away that easily from the grip of Killobite, its wheels are spinning, but it cant get away! Now, Killobite starts to slowly lever Rupture... towards the pit... Rupture is on the brink of oblivion... OH! It just gets away, and again, gets underneath the side ground clearence and lifts Killobite onto its back, and again, Killobite flips itself back onto its wheels, and now, Killobite gets underneath once again... and again, it levers Rupture... towards the pit, and Rupture cant get away.... BOOM! Down it goes! Its all over in 31 seconds!
CEASE!
Rupture gets ruptured.
Killobite goes through to the Heat Final!
Tactics? Ram it to bits, of course. :wink:
Michelle: Im here again with Steve-O and Metal Sonic Spin Dash. Youre up against Tempest Evil-est-oution.
Steve: Very good ring spinner, but if I get underneath before he gets to speed, then it will be game over for him.
Michelle: Can you create any damage, though?
Steve: I sure can. Its this bad boy that does the damage. *Shows her the sawblade* So, my tactics are to stop him from spinning, chew the bottom armour, and pit ASAP.
Michelle: Good luck.
Steve: Thank you.
Michelle: OK, and Im going to go over HERE now, to Franks evil machine, Tempest!
Frank: Oh, yeah. Veeery evil...
Michelle: Hahahaha. So, what are your tactics for the next fight? Youre up against Metal Sonic Spin Dash.
Frank: Augh. :lame: Well, he is quite a fast and nimble machine, so Ill try to shock kill him. Rip off the saw and skirts if I want to.
Michelle: Right, then. Good luck.
Frank: Thanks.
(BATTLE 4!!!)
Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome...
METAL SONIC SPIN DASH!!!
TEMPEST EVIL-EST-OUTION!!!
Roboteers, Stand By...
Booth 1: MSSD
Booth 2: Tempest
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!
Woah! Tempest immediately spins up to full speed a little before activate was called... and could this be an advantage for Frank? Uh oh, not by the looks of that! MSSD gets under the ring spinner and SLAMS it into the wall!
WHAM!
Now, Tempest tries spinning up to full speed AGAIN, and it does, finally! Now, Tempest already smashes into the side of MSSD!
CRASH!!
OH, that was a massive hit! MSSD was sent spinning out of control there! Did that cause any damage, though? Yes, it did! There is a small dent in the side, but now, MSSD fights back again, by slamming Tempest into the wall!
WHAM!
Ouch. Thats got to hurt. Tempest looks a bit ponderous, doesnt it? Now, spinning up again, Tempest smashes into the other side!
CRASH!!!
OH, MSSD is sent spinning away, and very near the flames! Another dent is made in the armour of MSSD, and now, the other skirt is bent a bit, not too much. Anyway, MSSD is dangerously close to the flame grill. Get out of there, Steve, you dont want to have baked aerials. :proud: Steve doesnt want to fall behind, so he presses the pit button! The pit goes down, and... uh, Steve? A nudge is enough. :proud: MSSD now drive towards Tempest and at the same time, Tempest crashes into MSSDs side!
CRASH!!!
OH!!!! I can feel THAT from where I am! One of the skirts was dislodged from the hinge! Look at that! What a deadly assault by Tempest! Lets have a look at it again... Tempest just ripped the skirt, and dislodged it from the hinge, there! Tempest, what a destructive machine this is! But, MSSD crashes into the whirling dervish, and drags it towards the pit! Now, Tempest... OH! Tempest just escapes somehow! Steve looks surprised, and now, Tempest spins up again, and now, the time is running out...
10... 9... 8...
CRASH!!!
WOAH!!! There goes a skirt flying off of MSSD, courtesy of Tempests spinning rim!
7... 6... 5... 4...
Tempest spins up again, and now, MSSD comes in!
3... 2... 1...
CRASH!!!
WOAH!!! That spun MSSD away, and almost it fell into the pit! MSSDs wheels are stuck on the edge!
CEASE!
Fantastic Battle, you two! Now, lets see the judges scores!
JD: MSSD / Tempest
Style: 3/5 / 2/5
Control: 2/5 / 3/5
Damage: 1.7/5 / 3.3/5
Aggresion: 2.5/5 / 2.5/5
Total Score: 9.2/20 / 10.8/20
Metal Sonic Spin Dash has become so damn rusty that he aint no sonic anymore. :proud:
Tempest goes through to the Heat P Final!
Sam: Well, the judges have made their decision... based on style, control, damage, and aggresion. They say it was VERY close, but in the end, there can be only one winner... and that winner is.... TEMPEST!!!!
(Frank cheers, and then shakes hands with Steve)
Sam: You were so close to beating Tempest!
Steve: Yeah, I wouldve won, if it wasnt for that meddlin full body spinner! :proud:
Sam: (Chuckles) Are you disappointed, or do you think the judges got it right?
Steve: Yeah, a bit of both. I mean, things didnt go according to plan, but I was getting battered real good out there, so I cant do anything about it now.
Sam: You going to come back again?
Steve: You bet!
Sam: All right, lets hear it for the gallant... METAL SONIC SPIN DASH!!
(CROWD CHEERS)
Sam: Frankie ol boy, you are through to the heat final again. Congratulations.
Frank: Thank you, kind sir. :proud:
Sam: Now, he had you on the ropes for a bit. How did you manage to escape while he was dragging you to the pit?
Frank: Well, to be honest, I never thought I would! Yeah, but lets just say that it was a miracle. :proud:
Sam: You think you can win this heat?
Frank: I might very well do!
Sam: All right, everyone, give it up for your winner... TEMPEST EVIL-EST-OUTION!!
(CROWD CHEERS)
Heat P Final
Killobite VS Tempest
Tactics, Predictions, and forgive me for writing this battle at 5:00 in the morning. :lame:
(Message edited by samuel3764 on January 07, 2009)
Considering the post-battle interview was almost the same length... :proud:
Killobite 5.0 vs. Tempest Evil-est-oution
Well I kinda knew Id be facing Tempest. One thing I know is that if he aint spinning, hes doomed. So Ill charge straight into him with the rear. Im not too hopeful, but my chassis should be able to deflect his blows. Im not too willing to sacrifice my lifting forks early on. When hes slowed down, turn around and ram him with the front end, get under, clamp, lift, drag to pit, drop.
And it should be 10:52pm in BC, Sam, if you just wrote this battle. Whats with this 5 a.m.? Or did you write it early this morning? :P lol
Ahem.... if I could have your attention please... due to the fact I have too much going on at school, Ive decided to put this tourney on hold until further notice. I am not doing any hypos or cancellations. :sad:
Michelle: Right, I€™m here with Kody Kunz, and his brilliant machine, Killobite! Great job for clinching another heat final. You, my friend, are up against€¦ Tempest!
Kody: Wow, I don€™t know what to say. :proud:
Michelle: I assume you are worried? :wink:
Kody: Yeah, a little. But when he€™s not spinning he€™s toast. So, I€™m going to deflect the spinner with my rear, then grab and pit it ASAP.
Michelle: All right then, get out there and make some noise!
Kody: Yep, you know it. :wink:
Michelle: OK, I€™m going to go over here now, to Frankie and his evil machine, Tempest! You€™re up against€¦ Killobite!
Frank: Killobite, eh? Well, he€™s got a pretty strong chassis, so it might as well be a bit hard, but I would try to shock kill him€¦
Michelle: You worried?
Frank: Uh€¦ not really. :proud:
Michelle: All right then, good luck.
Frank: Yeah, you know it.
* * *
Dan O€™Hagan: So, there you have it, our last heat final. Killobite has got the claw and lifter combo, and the weapon synergy. Tempest is, of course, the runner up of Crash and Burn 2, and it also has a great ring spinner. So, it could really go either way. But I€™m actually going for Tempest because of all the experience it has. Anyway, let€™s see if we are right!
Sam Park: This is it! The final meltdown of the heats! THIS IS THE LAST HEAT FINAL!!!
(HEAT FINAL!!!)
Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome€¦
KILLOBITE!!!
TEMPEST!!!
Roboteers, Stand By€¦
Booth 1: Killobite
Booth 2: Tempest
3€¦ 2€¦ 1... ACTIVATE!
We€™re about to witness the end of the heats, and Tempest already spins up to speed! Now, Killobite rams the ring spinner with the rear end!
CRASH!!!
WOAH! Sparks litter the arena and both bots are spun away! However, there is very little damage caused to Killobite, there; it€™s nothing but a tiny scratch. Now, the ring spinner from Gainsborough spins up again, and barges in!
CRASH!!!
€¦and again, both bots are spun away, and there is yet another tiny scratch in the chassis of Killobite! This will hopefully score Tempest some points. Now, Tempest is spinning again, and both bots go on a collision course! Killobite barges in with the rear again!
CRASH!!!!
Sparks fly again, and the audience seems to love the action here! Tempest has been slowed down, and Killobite turns around, and tries to grab it€¦ but Tempest somehow gets away, and spins up to full speed ahead! Now, Killobite gets the hell over to Tempest again!
CRASH!!!
More sparks fly, and Tempest makes another small dent in the chassis of Killobite! Kody realizes that the tides are turning against him, so he presses the pit button, and Killobite grabs Tempest! Now, it drives towards the pit! But WAIT! Tempest gets away again, and spins up! Good defense by Tempest, there. Now, Tempest again, barges in with the spinning ring€¦ RIGHT IN THE BACK!!!
CRASH!!!
That hit sends both robots spinning out of control, and Killobite spins almost into the pit, and now, Tempest spins up to full speed€¦
CRASH!!
Killobite is being attacked with relentless strikes here, but the chassis is holding up nicely! Now, the time is running out here€¦.
10€¦ 9€¦ 8€¦
Killobite barges in with the rear again€¦
7€¦ 6€¦ 5€¦ 4€¦
CRASH!!
WOAH! Tempest barges in with the spinner, and a very small piece of armour flies off from Killobite!
3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦
Tempest€™s ring is still spinning, and Killobite begins to charge into it€¦
CRASH!!
WOAH! Killobite is spinning madly, and now, it€™s very near the pit, and almost in it!
CEASE!
Great battle, you two! Scores please, judges!
JD: Killobite / Tempest
Style: 3/5 / 2/5
Damage: 1/5 / 4/5
Control: 2.4/5 / 2.6/5
Aggresion: 3.5/5 / 1.5/5
Total Score: 9.9/20 / 10.1/20
Killobite will need to have more bite in it.
Tempest Evil-est-oution goes through to the Series Semi-Finals!
Sam: Well, you were dominating that fight, but you got beaten!
Kody: Yeah€¦ I think I could€™ve done a bit better.
Sam: Tell me, what went wrong there?
Kody: Well, it WAS a very tough robot to face, and it wasn€™t that easy to grab hold of.
Sam: Ouch. Well, you€™ve got four bots in the semis. Hope you do well.
Kody: Thank you. :proud:
Sam: All right, let€™s hear it for your gallant contender€¦ KILLOBITE 5.0!!!
(CROWD CHEERS THEIR HEADS OFF)
Sam: Well? You finally did it!
Frank: Indeed I did. After all this time, I got to the semi-finals!
Sam: Now, what was your tactic for the fight?
Frank: I didn€™t really have that much, but to shock kill it. But at least I won on a judge€™s decision! :proud:
Sam: Well done on your win. You think you can go all the way?
Frank: Most likely I will!
Sam: All right, let€™s hear it for Frank€™s brilliant machine and your winner for Heat P€¦ TEMPEST EVIL-EST-OUTION!!!!
(CROWD CHEERS AGAIN)
Sam: €¦ and there you have it. Frank Goacher finally won a heat after all this time. Killobite might come back to dazzle us all, but again, it€™s the winners that count here. For everyone here, I€™m Sam Park. Good night, everyone.
(CROWD CHEERS, Kody, Frank, and Sam shakes hands)
Dan O€™Hagan: Well, there you have it€¦ our semifinallists are:
Leprosy Infection, Aftershock, Archangel of the Abyss, Pure Evil: Revenge of the Disc, Tira 3, Whirligig 4.5, Dennis the Menace, Gabriel v1.25, Intrigue, SoR Hex, Yet Another Cut Above the Rest, Back to Rock, Axeon, E Clawdius Unum, Super Gore Evo, and last but not least, Tempest Evil-est-Oution!
Draws
Semi Final 1
E Clawdius Unum VS Axeon
Aftershock VS Gabriel
Leprosy Infection VS Dennis the Menace
Tira 3 VS Back to Rock
Semi Final 2
Intrigue VS YACATR
SoR Hex VS Super Gore Evo
Pure Evil: Revenge of the Disc VS Whirligig
Archangel of the Abyss VS Tempest Evil-est-Oution
Tactics, Predictions, and a jalapeno pepper please.
PS: Glad that Laura€™s back? =P
Meh, no shame in losing to a bot like Tempest. :) Though I must say, Samuel, bit short of a fight to go directly to a judges decision...but whatever. Not gonna complain.
E Clawdius Unum vs. Axeon 2.0
Repeat of Razer vs. Terrorhurtz, anyone? Steve-O for the clamp and pit.
Aftershock vs. Gabriel
This is the original Gabriel, I think. Its got 7mm titanium armour and some Hardox over that, but its got an aluminium baseplate, and being a tri-drum axlebot, I can knock him over and hit the baseplate with the end drums. :proud: Plus those end drums stabilize it so it doesnt lose control and drive backwards. :P Simply knock it around until it dies. :proud:
Leprosy Infection vs. Dennis the Menace
I think Leprosy can actually win, sorry Dan.
Tira III vs. Back to Rock III
Aw no. :S Im gonna attack the lifter and hope that it stops working, then just shred away. Though if I can get around to the sides, I should have no problem dealing with it. Mainly hit the lifter, then back off. Then attack again, and back off. Repeat until hes dead.
Intrigue vs. Yet Another Cut Above The Rest
Box-rush it. :proud: If I get stop the spinner, it wont spin no more. After its stopped, mercilessly pound to hell. :proud: Either that or go for a pitting.
Son of Ripper Hex vs. Super Gore Evo
I dont like this match-up. :S His angled sides are gonna give me a hell of a time trying to grab him. Gonna use the piercing claws here, and hope to get under SoR Hex from anywhere, if I can. After that, use the ends of the piercing claws to latch onto his top armour and clamp him between the scoop and claws. That is, if hes low enough. If not, Ill actually pierce him! :proud: Drag to pit immediately.
Pure Evil: Revenge of the Disc vs. Whirligig 4.5
Pure Evil is a dead bot. Steve-O FTW.
Archangel of the Abyss vs. Tempest Evil-est-oution
Two overkill FBS/ring spinners...uh...I say ArchAngel given its weight advantage.
Good luck to Joey, Martijn, and Andy. Lets see a cracking semi-final, Samuel. :)
E Clawdius Unum vs. Axeon 2.0
I think this is going to be a bit of a stalemate. While we both have good weapons, we both have even better armour. My axe isn€™t going to damage 4mm Hardox and E Clawdius Unum€™s crusher isn€™t going to damage 6mm Hardox. To add to this problem, we are both skirted and are going to have a hard time getting under each other. The difference here being that I can use my weapon without getting under the opponent, while E Clawdius Unum cannot. Even though it€™s not likely to do much damage, keep bludgeoning it with the axe and rack up some style points. I might even get lucky and shake something lose inside. The other option is to grapple Clawdius with the axe and push it around the arena into trouble.
Good luck, Steve. :)
Keep up the good work Sam! You€™ve done great to get to the semi-finals in under a year.
SEMI-FINAL 1
BATTLE 1
Axeon 2.0 VS E CLAWDIUS UNUM
AJs right - were both pretty equal in terms of weaponry and armouring - but Clawdius has a little something extra to help get under Axeon. I of course refer to the front flattened spikes. Clawdius main tactic will be to charge Axeon from the sides and try to slip underneath with the spikes. If successful, grapple and dont let go. The combination of the claws and the barbs will make it very difficult for AJ to shake himself loose. Head for the pit and dump it like radioactive waste.
SEMI-FINAL 2
BATTLE 3
Pure Evil: Revenge of the Disc VS WHIRLIGIG 4.5
Spin up. Kill it. :proud:
Bravo on finishing the Heats, Sam! Its been spiffing stuff thus far and Im sure the Semis will be too!
Sam Park: The heats are gone, and the trap is set for our semi-finallists. We are desperate to finding out our first ROBOBASH CHAMPION, arent you, guys?!
*CROWD CHEERS*
Sam: Oh, yes. They can smell the destruction! LET THE WAAAAAAARRRRS BEGIN!!!
*CROWD CHEERS AGAIN*
Dan OHagan: Thats right, Sam. We are going to see the 16 remaining robots from each heat battle it out, and 4 go through to the grand final. First up, is E Clawdius Unum and Axeon!
(BATTLE 1!!!)
From Glasgow, Scotland, E Clawdius Unum!
All hail the Roman Emperor Robot!
Laura: Now, Steve, what modifications have you made?
Steve: Well, not much really. Almost the same as the last time, but with more nasty attitude. :proud:
Laura: Mkay, now youre up against Axeon again.
Steve: Seriously? Meh, Ill grab and pit it in about a minute or so. For beating my beloved Killotine, Im planning to get him... BUT GOOD! :proud:
Laura: Ooh, bitter rivalry, eh?
Steve: Maybe! :proud:
Laura: Hahahaha!
Bitter rivalry, indeed. :proud: A nice wedge shape, with that crusher and spears at the front, and thats why we all love the emperor! :proud:
In Heat N: pitted Tri-Tainium, Sonic Boom, and GeForce.
From Shrewbury in Shropshire, Axeon!
It doesnt get any Axeon-packed than this! :proud:
Laura: Im standing with Axeon and AJ himself. Remember when Steve beat you with E Clawdius Unum in Heat N?
AJ: Oh no, Im not liking the sound of that. I think I know what it means.
Laura: Yes, you are up against... E Clawdius Unum!
AJ: Augh. Well, Axeon cant penetrate 4mm hardox, and at the same time, his crusher cant penetrate 6mm Hardox, which I have, so its going to be bit of a stalemate... but hear this, Steve! Ive beaten Killotine, and Im going to do it again to Clawdius, so watch out, here I come!
Laura: Ooh, thems fighting words from you. Good luck in the arena.
AJ: Thank you. :proud:
Yup, thems fighting words, all right. :proud: Axeon has an enormous axe waiting to pound the crap out of everything, good pushing power, LEM-drive, one word, OUCH! But limited CO2... hmm... Im not too confident about THAT... :proud:
In Heat M: Hacked Salamander 3 in a JD, and then sentenced Killotine to the pit, before finally taking out MacDuff the 2nd.
Roboteers, Stand By...
Theres Steve-O himself, driving E Clawdius Unum from Booth 1, and theres Andy Jackson on Booth 2 driving Axeon... and waving to the audience, there.
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!
And off we go with the first ever fight of the Semi-Finals! Axeon is slightly the faster here at 18 mph, while Clawdius has 14 mph top speed. Now, coming in for the kill, both of these robots charge at each other, and Clawdius nudges Axeon with the spears, but nobodys really getting underneath anyone. Clawdius backs up into the pit button... the pit goes down, and now, the crusher from Scotland charges at Axeon again! Axeon at the same time... charges straight towards Clawdius and axes it!
WHACK!
Ouch, thats gonna leave a mark... and it has! There is a medium sized dent in the armour, there! That is good weapon use by Axeon there. Now, the axe-bot from Shropshire is charging at Clawdius again, but Clawdius makes a turn, and somehow gets underneath Axeon with those front spikes, and grabs it from behind! Thats a good attack there by Steve! Axeons wheels are spinning frantically, and AJ fires the axe, but it cant seem to get away from Clawdiuss grasp! Now, it takes a ride on the saws! BZZT! Ah, sparks fly. How lovely. :proud: However, Axeon seems to be still stuck in Clawdiuss beak... no! Its free! Axeon can move again! Now, Axeon immediately responds by bringing its axe down...
WHACK!
...and another dent is made in Clawdiuss armour! Both robots are continuing to relentlessly attack each other, here! However, Clawdius crashes into Axeons rear and gets underneath again, and snags a wheel hole with the barbs! Now, it starts to lever the axe-bot towards the pit... Axeon cant get away now... BOOM! Down it goes! Its over in less than a minute; well done to Steve-O!
CEASE!
Axeon will need more axing power than that!
E Clawdius Unum goes through to the Quarter-Finals!
Dan OHagan: Axeon is crushed by E Clawdius Unum, and next up is Aftershock vs. Gabriel v1.25! Lets get it on!
(BATTLE 2!!!)
From Toronto, Ontario, Aftershock!
It literally shocked us all in Heat B, after taking out the famed flipper, Wedgas Revenge!
Laura: Now, I hear you and Michelle got along so well while I was gone!
Kody: Yeah, I did. :proud:
Laura: Haha, I envy you. :proud: Anyway, you are up against... Gabriel!
Kody: Well, I know its got 7mm Titanium and some hardox, but the baseplate is aluminium, so Ill try and knock it over, and chew away on the base. Try to get at the tyres if I want to. :wink:
Laura: All right then, good luck. Oh yeah, and Michelle asked me to give this to you.
Kody: Oh, whats this? (Reading: Kody, you were great at cracking me up with your jokes. I think Ill most likely come back again to hear more! Youre awesome! -Signed, Michelle Tomczak) Hahahahaha! :rofl:
Oh, for heavens sakes... :lame: A nice drum shaped robot with a 3500RPM spinning drum, and two spinning hubs that go around at 6000RPM! It also has a nice and sturdy 9mm Titanium armour, as well. However, its wheels are pretty much the Achilles Heel here.
In Heat B: Obliterated Panzer Mk 4, Drummed out Supreme Glory Gamma, before banging on Wedgas Revenge and eventually knocking it down the pit.
From Pontefract in Yorkshire, Gabriel!
The angel of death is back again to kill some bots!
Laura: Well Joey, its good to see you again!
Joey: Thanks a lot. :proud:
Laura: So, what have you got for us this time?
Joey: The same old flipper, and titanium armour with some hardox over that. Not much changed.
Laura: That looks great! What do you think of your opponent?
Joey: Well, Kody IS a very good roboteer, and its going to be difficult, but Ill keep my front facing him at all times, and either push into the pit, or flip it over the wall.
Laura: All right then, good luck.
Joey: Thank you.
A large elongated tetrahedron shape, with a front flipper, two spikes at the sides, and capable of throwing opponents into submission. However, its a bit shabby in the armour department, with an aluminium baseplate... :sad:
Heat H: Threw Gemini and Panic Attack out of the arena, and then pitted Exertion in the heat final.
Roboteers, Stand By...
As usual, Kody Kunz is in Booth 1, driving Aftershock, and Gabriel v1.25 is also in the arena, with Joey McConnell, the driver, in Booth 2.
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!
Aftershock immediately spins up here, and you can hear the revving of the drum motor! Gabriel, meanwhile, is trying to find a weak spot, but now, Aftershock immediately crashes into Gabriels side!
CRASH!!
WHOA! Sparks are flying, as Aftershocks drum flips over Gabriel! There is a big dent on the side of Gabriel, and the paintwork is scratched! Gabriel self-rights at once, and charges at Aftershock, and... temporarily stopping the drum somehow! Now, it carries the drum over to the side wall, but because of Aftershocks odd shape, it is hard to flip over! Now, Gabriel goes into spin mode, and Aftershock begins to spin up again, and smashes into the Pontefract machine!
CRASH!!!!
... and more sparks are flying! Now, Aftershock spins up again, and you cannot even see the blades! Now, both robots go on a collision course again...
CRASH!!!
More sparks are flying, and now, Aftershock barges in with the drum right into the rear end!
CRASH!!!
The impact flips Gabriel over, and it lands on its back! Now, Aftershock spins up yet again, and Gabriel tries to self right. Bad idea. Gabriel self-rights, and gets one... oh no, not in the base!!!
CRASH!!!!
WOAH!!! More sparks are flying, and Gabriel is being relentlessly attacked, here! The close-up camera shows that a wheel is punctured! Gabriel self rights, but that initial attack leaves Gabriel handicapped, and its starting to limp across the arena! Aftershock goes in for another one in the side!
CRASH!!
Just like in the early scenes of the match, the attack flips Gabriel over. Very outstanding job there, by Aftershock. Gabriel self-rights again, and decides to limp over to Aftershock, and now, Gabriel starts to spin!
WHACK!
OH! The side spikes hit the drum of Aftershock, and sparks are flying again! Gabriel tries to catch up to the Canadian drummer, and it eventually does, and tries to flip it over, but the drum-shaped robot is hard to get a hold of! Aftershock fights back with some of its own weapon!
CRASH!!
WOAH!!! What a collision; that hit knocks Gabriel over onto its back, but it self-rights again! Now... Gabriel is continuously moving around in circles... and Aftershock is positioning itself, and it whacks Gabriel again in the rear end!
CRASH!
... and the drum flips over the flipper from Pontefract upon contact! It tries to self-right, but Aftershock waits, and just when you thought Gabriel was safe...
SMASH!!
The other wheel has been shredded, and now, its safe to say that Aftershock has won this. Gabriel has been righted, but it cant go anywhere at all... Aftershock opens the pit button... and finally, it spins up again, and Joey tells Kody to stop, but would he listen? NOO. :proud:
CRASH!!!
... and thats it. Gabriel somersaults straight into the pit of oblivion. Well done to both teams!
CEASE!
Mr. Lucifer will not be pleased with Gabriel tonight.
Aftershock goes through to the Quarter Finals!
Rack up another win for the odd axlebot...not bad Samuel. :)
Sam: Well, so far, we've seen Axeon and Gabriel bite the dust, and it's time for the robots to throw down again! Please welcome our next two contestents... Leprosy Infection and Dennis the MENACE!!!!
(BATTLE 3!!!!)
From Onehouse, in Suffolk, Leprosy Infection!
Named from the disease which causes the skin to flake... ugh, keep that drum away from me! :proud:
Laura: Now, Chris, you are up against Dennis the Menace, how do you feel about that?
Chris: Dennis the Menace, eh? Well, he's got a much faster drum, but I think my 7mm Titanium should withstand his attacks.
Laura: All right, tactics?
Chris: Get away from the front, because it creeps me out, and go for the back or sides.
Laura: So, is Leprosy ready to infect Dennis?
Chris: You bet!
Laura: That's the spirit!
A Tetanus Booster shaped robot, with a 7mm Titanium armour, and a drum that spins at a mind-blowing 4000RPM... and this drum has torn out panels, skirts, and who knows what else! Can you say, OUCH?! :crazy: However, there is a tiny flaw to it; it's invertible, but that means crushers and axes can find its tyres...
In Heat A: Dismantled 147, drummed out Dante, and finally took out Wedginator in a hard-fought battle.
From Merthyr Tydfil in Wales, Dennis the Menace!
It made its first appearence in Heat G, and has been a menacing opponent to the other bots!
Laura: Dennis is back and ready to fight, I suppose?
Dan: That's right.
Laura: That's great! Now, you are up against Leprosy Infection.
Dan: Hmmm... another drum-bot, eh? Well, just keep annoying him by smashing into the sides/rear, I guess. Not much more I can do, really...
Laura: Mkay, and what do you think of your opponent?
Dan: Well, I respect Chris very much, that's for sure. However, respect is nothing when it's compared to victory. :proud:
Laura: Hahahaha. Well, best of luck.
Dan: Thank ye.
Respect is nothing when compared to victory, eh? *Writes it down* OK, now that's over and done with, DTM is a very formidable foe with 5mm Ti/V Alloy armour, and a drum weapon capable of reaching 12000RPM! However, this MIGHT self-destruct preeeetty easily... ;)
In Heat G: Broke Fire and Ice's tracks, Smashed ISDSFA and made it look more like I saw Dennis smash Frank's armour, and finally reduced Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus to dinosaur bones. :rofl:
Roboteers, Stand By...
Booth 1: Leprosy Infection
Booth 2: Dennis
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!
Off we go again, with both drums spinning at frightening speeds, and both bots crash into each other, drum first!
CRASH!!!
... and both bots go flying! Now, Leprosy drives away, and now, it crashes into DTM, drum spun up to full speed!
CRASH!!
... and this time, DTM is the one who goes flying, there! Good attack there by Chris. Dan tries fighting back, and tries turning, but...
CRASH!!
... again, DTM is tossed lightly up into the air, and now... Chris turns and backs into the pit release button. Now, DTM fights back, and uses the drum on Leprosy!
CRASH!!!
OH!!! Leprosy is sent for a ride, and now, it lands near the pit. :uhoh: You don't want to fall in the pit, get out of there, Chris. :proud: Chris barely gets away, and now, he drives Leprosy's drum into the side of DTM immediately!
CRASH!!!
DTM is knocked over again by Leprosy's drum, there! Good attack again by Chris, it leaves a big dent in the side of DTM! Now don't forget, Leprosy was 4th in EOTR2, and it kinda looks like as if he is going to do it again, isn't it?
CRASH!!!
...oh, but Dan says, I beg to differ, and drives DTM's drum into Leprosy again! Leprosy is overturned with a big dent in the side there, and starting to spin up that great big drum again! Now, it crashes into DTM with all its might!
CRASH!!!
OH!!! DTM is dented badly in the side! Now, Leprosy is still inverted, and DTM crashes into Leprosy with the drum!!
CRASH!!
A nice scratch is made in the side panel of Leprosy there, but still, I think it is superficial... or is it? Now, hang on a minute here... Leprosy is back on its right side up, but it doesn't really seem to move freely... in fact, I don't think DTM is moving freely either. Both robots are sort of limping along here, and Leprosy crashes into the side of DTM with the drum!
CRASH!!!
WHOA HO! DTM is tossed up into the air again, and comes down with a sickening thump! Chris puts his fist up in the air for joy, but meanwhile, Dan looks a bit worried. Now DTM has got only one wheel on their wagon... I think that when DTM hit the floor, the impact must've disabled something, or whatever, and to be honest, I think Leprosy has won the battle... Chris puts the drum to use again, and...
CRASH!!!
DTM lands near the pit and almost in... and now, Dennis can't really seem to escape here, but tries all he can. However Leprosy comes in with a final shove... BOOM! See ya Dan!
CEASE!
Dennis the Menace might as well be more menacing than that.
Leprosy Infection goes through to the Quarter Finals!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sam: So far, 3 robots bite the dust and 3 live to fight another day... but as usual, it takes 2 to tango, or 4, in this case. :proud: Danny Boy, which machines have we got now?
Dan: Well, Sam. The next robots to fight are Back to Rock and Tira 3! Let's rock, shall we?
(BATTLE 4!!!!)
From Toronto, Ontario, Tira 3!
Ah, this robot is named from the SoulCaliber series, I see! :proud:
Laura: Kody, you've got one robot through, do you think you can get another win?
Kody: Well, it entirely depends on who my opponent is.
Laura: All right, then. Your opponent is Back to Rock.
Kody: Augh, I had to ask. :lame: Well, just attack the lifter and hope it stops working, and then back off as soon as he starts to raise the lifter.
Laura: Anything you have to say to Martijn?
Kody: Not much I can say but these three words: BRING IT ON!
Laura: All right then. :proud: Good luck.
Kody: You got it.
Hmm... bring it on, eh? I swear I heard that from somewhere else... :proud: Anyway, a nice wedge shaped robot with a very scary 25kg vertical spinner that spins at 2200RPM! It's knocked out countless robots in the past, however, it has a slight problem to it... IT HAS NO SRIMECH! :sad:
In Heat E: Knocked out ARRTDS, discombobulated Slaying Mantis F, and finally took out Crimson Thunder without any problems at all.
From Enschede, Holland, Back to Rock 3!
The question is, will he truly rock you? :proud:
Laura: So, Martijn, what modifications have you made?
Martijn: Well, the skirts were badly damaged during the Heat Final, so I fixed it, and I also fixed the gash on the back as well.
Laura: That looks aweosme! Right then, now you are up against... Tira 3.
Martijn: Tira 3? Bugger. :lame: Well, Tira has one disadvantage: the fact that it has no srimech.
Laura: So, if it's flipped over, it's dead?
Martijn: Right. So, I'll boxrush Tira from the start, and flip it over. Then, I shall rush it to the pit and dump it like garbage.
Laura: All right then. Good luck.
Martijn: Yup.
A box-shaped robot with nice armour, a nice lifter weapon and saw blade combination, and it even has 6-wheel-drive! It has great weapon synergy but I am not a fan of the titanium armour.
In Heat L: Beat up Humdrum, Darkestar, and eventually disposed of Sakura in a long tussle.
Roboteers, Stand By...
Booth 1: Tira 3
Booth 2: Back to Rock
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!
Off we go, with Tira 3 already spinning up to its maximum potential! Now, it reaches its top speed, and crashes into Back to Rock's lifter!
CRASH!!!
Spacks are flying, and the audience loves it! But Back to Rock fights back with some pushability, gets underneath the back somehow and slams Tira 3 into the wall!
WHAM!
Now, it uses its lifter to lift Tira 3 over! Now, if Tira 3 gets flipped over, then that is it for Kody... but Tira 3 fortunately drives off. The disc is spinning like hell! Now, using all its might, it crashes into the side of the Dutch machine!
CRASH!!!!!!
WOAH! That dislodges the skirt from the hinge, and flips over Back to Rock! Back to Rock self-rights but now, Tira 3, using the rear wedge, pushes Back to Rock and slams it near the pit button!
WHAM!!
Ouch, that's got to hurt. Now, the Canadian discbot just charges into Back to Rock, but it gets away, and Tira is left to annhilate the pit button!
CRASH!!!!
Aargh. The pit button is dislodged. How many times do you need to be reminded that the pit button is not a toy?! :angry: Tira 3 spins up again, turns and strikes Back to Rock's side yet again!
CRASH!!
That sends the dislodged skirt flying out of its socket, and the impact almost tips Back to Rock over! Now, Back to Rock immediately fights back by slamming Tira into the wall!
CRASH!
Now Back to Rock uses the lifter to lift Tira off the ground, and the sawblade rattles against the titanium armour of Tira! Now, Tira 3 is in real trouble here... but it gets away, and spins up! Now it crashes into Back to Rock's other side! Uh-oh, this does not look good!
CRASH!!!
OH!!! Wham bam thank you ma'am, indeed! The other skirt gets ripped away from the hinge, and the impact flips over Back to Rock, and it comes down with a thump! Now, Back to Rock self-rights. Bad idea. Tira 3 spins up again and rams Back to Rock! Oh no, it gets one in the base!
CRASH!!!!!
WOAH!!! More sparks are flying, and Back to Rock's base is badly damaged! Tira 3 drives away, but Back to Rock starts to limp across the arena. However, Back to Rock somehow catches up to Tira, and ram-foos it into the wall!
CRASH!!!
Ouch, that's got to hurt. Now, Tira 3 spins up... and it rams Back to Rock yet again, and it goes for the side!
CRASH!!!!
WOAH!!!! Tira 3 just slams into Back to Rock, and sends it flying onto its back! Back to Rock, with a panel hanging loose on the left side, tries to self right, but Tira uses the same tactics as before, and slams in with the disc right into the base armour!
CRASH!!!!
Back to Rock continues to take some horrible punishment to the base armour there... hang on, has Back to Rock STOPPED WORKING?! :crazy: Has Tira 3 knocked off something inside, I wonder? Well, whatever it is, it leaves Back to Rock absolutely stunned! Tira 3's flywheel coasts to a complete stop, and it spares Back to Rock from any more damage, by using the rear wedge and shunting it down the pit. BOOM! Now, Tira 3...
CRASH!!!!!!
OI! Tira swats the pit button, and smacks it into Back to Rock! Your impudence will cost you, Mr. Kunz! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! :rofl:
CEASE!
Back to Rock, we have rocked you! :proud:
Tira 3 goes through to the Quarter Finals!
So, here's how the Quarter Final 1 will line up...
Tira 3 VS Leprosy Infection
E Clawdius Unum VS Aftershock
Tactix, Predidlydictions, and advices on how to write a better battle, please. :lame:
...I expect one of my bots to lose a fight. There's no way I can get two bots in a major Grand Final. :proud:
Tira III vs. Leprosy Infection
I doubt Leprosy Infection has the power to toss Tira over with its drum. I'm going to attack its drum since I'm quite sure I'd come out the better in a direct collision. Just keep smacking it until it stops.
E Clawdius Unum vs. Aftershock
I remember losing to this bot in AJWars: Another Era. Hit it with the main drum, then back the hell off and ward it away with the end spinners until I get the main drum back up to speed. Repeat until Clawdius dies.
And please stop copy-pasting some of our tournament lines, Samuel. We are quite proud of people's originality and we don't like it stolen (except it's different with the vapourbots themselves. Why, look at all of The Disc clones. :proud:)
Other than that, nice fights. :proud:
Tira 3 VS Leprosy Infection
Laura: Well Kody, I've got some good and bad news.
Kody: What's the bad news?
Laura: The bad news is you're up against Leprosy Infection.
Kody: Mkay, what's the good news?
Laura: If you win this, you are in the Grand Final, regardless of the result of the next battle against E Clawdius Unum.
Kody: Leprosy Infection... well, the first thing to do is attack the drum, and hope it gets disabled. When it does, I'll go and smack the daylights out of it until it dies. The titanium is quite strong, but if memory serves me right, in Series 5 of Robot Wars, HypnoDisc won against a titanium armoured robot, Dominator 2. Of course Tira's disc is almost 3 times as more powerful, so it will probably be pretty easy... but of course I could be wrong. :P
Laura: All right then, good luck.
Kody: Thanks.
Laura: Well Chris, you are up against Tira 3.
Chris: Aw crap. Well, I know the skirts make it almost impossible to flip. So, yeah. Can't do much other than ripping off the skirts. :lame:
Laura: Any other tactics?
Chris: Avoid the disc, and try to smack into the sides. Cause lots of sparks, and hopefully, tear off some skirts.
Laura: Good luck.
Chris: Thank you. Oh, and one more thing.
Laura: Yes?
Chris: Tell Kody I'll be preparing my will. :wink:
Laura: Hahahaha! :proud:
(BATTLE 3!!!)
Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome...
TIRA 3!!!
LEPROSY INFECTION!!!
Roboteers, Stand by...
Booth 1: Tira 3
Booth 2: Leprosy Infection
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!
This is for a place in the Grand Final. Now, both bots spin up their weapons immediately, and now, it charges at each other with perfect synchronization in a weapon to weapon showdown!
CRASH!!
Both goes flying, and Tira immediately recovers after the violent onslaught! Leprosy is also okay, and now it spins up, and crashes into the side of Tira, clearly avoiding that flywheel!
CRASH!!
Ah, how lovely. Sparks litter the arena floor! Now, Tira fights back, and slams into Leprosy's side, there!
CRASH!!
OH!!! Leprosy is taken for a ride there, and it leaves a huge gash into the armour! Good attack there by Tira, I must say! Now, Leprosy is spinning up, and crashes into Tira!
CRASH!!
WOAH! That sends sparks flying, but Tira 3 is okay. Now, Tira spins up, and SLAMS the disc into Leprosy's drum!
CRASH!!!!
WOAH!!! Leprosy is taken for a massive ride again, but Leprosy's drum has STOPPED! Tira 3's disc must've disabled the drum, and now... Leprosy Infection can't spin up! Tira 3 immediately takes that to advantage, and smashes into the side of Leprosy!
CRASH!!
Leprosy gets THROWN away, there! Tira immediately presses the pit button, and the pit goes down! Now, the Canadian discbot spins up again and greets the side of Leprosy...
CRASH!!!
Sparks are flying, and Leprosy is getting tossed relentlessly here! Now, the bot from Suffolk is in all sorts of trouble, but now, Leprosy pushes Tira 3 into the saws! BZZZT! Sparks are flying, and the audience loves it! Now, Tira carries Leprosy into the hammers, using the rear wedge!
WHAM!
OH!! The 7mm titanium is taking some horrible punishment! But now, Leprosy fights back! It charges at Tira and pushes it into the wall! Oof! That's gonna leave a mark. But Tira retaliates, by charging into Leprosy's rear end!
CRASH!!!
The disc tosses Leprosy upon contact, but Leprosy is just managing to hold on! Now, Leprosy is running in circles, and not able to move freely, here; again, Tira spins up, this time it gets the side of Leprosy!
CRASH!!!
WOAH!!! There goes a side panel flying off of it, and now... Tira is just being relentless here! Tira is just attacking Leprosy non-stop... and again!!!
CRASH!!!
There goes another side panel, and now... Leprosy doesn't seem like he's moving, is it? I think Tira has won this... and the countdown is on!
10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... OUT!!!
Finally, for the finishing touches, Tira pushes the finished drumbot into the pit. BOOM!
CEASE!
Leprosy Infection's reign of terror is cured.
TIRA 3 GOES THROUGH TO THE GRAND FINAL!
Sam: Aww...
Chris: Yeah, I guess I'll have to accept it.
Sam: Tell me, what went wrong?
Chris: Well, he was a very tough nut to crack, and he kept on hitting me with the disc. Even though I rammed him into the wall a couple of times, he still kept on attacking me.
Sam: Are you coming back next year?
Chris: You bet. I'll definately come back again.
Sam: All right, everyone. Please, let's hear it for LEPROSY INFECTIOOOOOON!!!!
(CROWD CHEERS, Chris smiles and waves)
Sam: He-hey! Look who's going to the Grand Final!
Kody: I know, right? :proud:
Sam: How do you feel about that?
Kody: Over the moon, but I feel a bit bad for beating Chris up so hard. Sorry Chris! :proud:
Chris: Haha. :proud:
Sam: Hahaha. You think you can go all the way?
Kody: You bet.
Sam: All right, that's the spirit! Everyone, let's all go ballistic for... TIRA 3!!!
(CROWD CHEERS AGAIN, Kody waves to the audience and then shakes hands with Chris)
Y'know, I kinda expected Leprosy to fight back more. A lot more. But whatever. Woot anyway. :proud:
Yeah Kody! Nice job.
My guess on who wins E Clawdius Unum vs. Aftershock, Clawdius. If not, it'll be the first time only 1 person has been in the Grand Final of something.
Mark, there's four places in the Grand Final, not two...
Oh... Sorry about that. Well, I'm still pretty sure Clawdius is probably going to win.
Honestly, me too. But I like to be optimistic. :proud:
E Clawdius Unum VS Aftershock
Laura: Well, Steve. You've made it this far... how do you feel?
Steve: I'm still confident.
Laura: But are you confident enough to go to the Grand Final?
Steve: Oh, I think so.
Laura: Right then, you're in battle against Aftershock.
Steve: Well, I don't really know if I could beat it again. I did beat it in AJWars, but I don't know what's going to happen now.
Laura: Tactics?
Steve: Well, I know it won't be easy, but Aftershock has a very high ground clearence, so I think it'd be better if I caught him before the drum gets up to speed.
Laura: All right, then. Good luck.
Steve: Yup.
Laura: Well, Kody, you do have one robot through to the grand final. Do you think you can get another one?
Kody: Oh, there is absolutely no way I can do that. :proud:
Laura: Haha. Right then, you're in battle with E Clawdius Unum.
Kody: Augh, great. Just what I needed. :lame:
Laura: I assume you are worried?
Kody: Yeah, Clawdius is the runner-up of C&B1, so I am a bit worried.
Laura: Tactics?
Kody: Avoid the front, and hopefully rip off some skirts on the sides.
Laura: Good luck.
Kody: Thanks.
(BATTLE 4!!!)
Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome...
E CLAWDIUS UNUM!!!
AFTERSHOCK!!!
Roboteers, Stand By...
Booth 1: E Clawdius Unum
Booth 2: Aftershock
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!
So both bots are immediately darting forward, and Aftershock spins up. Now, will Aftershock attack the skirts of Clawdius? Just remember, Clawdius had a previous grudge match between GeForce back in Heat N. This is the second grudge match we see right now, and immediately, both bots start to dart forward into each other!
CRASH!!!
Ah, sparks fly, very lovely indeed. Aftershock somehow gets away, and spins up once again! Now, clearly avoiding that crusher, it immediately goes into forward motion, right into the side of Clawdius!
CRASH!!!!
...and again, now even MORE sparks fly and Clawdius is tipped over, but it immediately recovers from the attack by self-righting, there! The 4mm hardox armour is sturdy enough to withstand that first attack, as well. Good defense there by Clawdius. Now the Scottish Razer look-alike is going for the pit release button. Clawdius is darting away to find Aftershock as the pit begins to descend. Now then, coming in for the kill again, Clawdius SLAMS into Aftershock, temporarily stops it from getting up to full speed ahead mode, gets underneath with the spears and clamps it down! Now, it darts away towards the pit, and takes Aftershock WITH IT! Aftershock tries to get away, and it does, fortunately. Now, the Barberous look-alike is spinning up again, and the drum motor is revving loudly! Now, it comes into contact with the side of Clawdius once more!
CRASH!!!
...and again, look at the sparks just littering the arena floor! The Canadian drummer is drumming away on Clawdius, there! I think it bent a side skirt as well! Look at that; just the side skirt is totally bent right out of shape! Clawdius immediately recovers from that attack. Steve does not like that ONE BIT! Look, he's so mad that he's chasing Kody all around the arena like some stalker, trying to get him for revenge! :rofl: (Just kidding :proud:) Now, Clawdius, coming in for the kill again here! Clawdius SLAMS into Aftershock and rams it into the wall and now, it tries to pierce into the 9mm Titanium armour, but it can't really do so! Now, Aftershock gets away and spins up again, despite the violent attack from Clawdius! That's great defense there by Aftershock, I must say. Now, both robots charge at each other again!
CRASH!!!!
More sparks fly, and now, Aftershock's drum does not stop, and it continues to go on the attack! Now, avoiding the crusher again, it slams into Clawdius's other side!!
CRASH!!!
OH!!! That bends yet ANOTHER skirt, and Clawdius is flipped over by the impact! Now, Clawdius self-rights, but Aftershock rams Clawdius's side again!
CRASH!!!
OHH!!! That sends a piece of the skirt flying into the camera tracks, there! However, Clawdius now comes in for the kill yet again, there! Now, it SLAMS into the Canadian robot! Down comes the crusher... slowly... trying to penetrate the 9mm titanium, but it cannot do so! But now, the good news is that it has clamped the drum very tightly! Now, Aftershock's wheels are spinning, but it can't seem to get out of Clawdius's grasp, there! Now, Clawdius starts darting towards the pit... Aftershock needs to hang on in there... but no! Clawdius has pitted Aftershock! It's all over! Clawdius follows Tira 3 into the Grand Final!!!
CEASE!
Aftershock gets executed by the crusher.
E Clawdius Unum goes through to the GRAND FINAL!!!!!
Sam: Well, Kody... the tides have turned against you.
Kody: Yeah, I know. But I kind of expected this to happen.
Sam: ... and why do you say that?
Kody: Yeah, no matter how I do, it's obvious that it's not possible to get two bots in the Grand Final. :proud:
Sam: Haha. :proud: Is Aftershock coming back next year?
Kody: Yeah, in the new form of TROUBLOON 6, hopefully.
Sam: Okay! We'll be waiting for that! Everyone, please give a round of applause to... AFTERSHOCK!!!!
*CROWD CHEERS*
Sam: Well, you did it!
Steve: Indeed I did, my good friend.
Sam: Now, tell me, what was your tactic for the battle?
Steve: Well, from the start, I was thinking of what I could do, and suddenly the match with Sonic Boom came up. So, I grabbed hold of the drum, and pitted it.
Sam: Great job for advancing to the Grand Final. Can Clawdius go all the way?
Steve: Oh yeah.
Sam: 'ey, that's what we like to hear. Confidence! Everyone, raise the roof for E CLAWDIUS UNUUUUM!!!!!
*CROWD CHEERS*
Sam: Well, our two grand finallists are confirmed. Be ready for the next episode when 8 more contestants run amok for the first Robobash title! For everyone here, I am Sam Park. Good evening, everyone.
*CROWD CHEERS, Sam, Kody and Steve shake hands*
Dan: Confirmation there, from the previous battle, that E Clawdius Unum will be joined by Tira 3 in the Grand Final. Which two robots will clinch the remaining spots of the Grand Final?
Next time...
Intrigue VS YACATR
SoR Hex VS Super Gore Evo
Pure Evil: Revenge of the Disc VS Whirligig
Tempest Evil-est-Oution VS Archangel of the Abyss
Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention that Laura will be away for the other semi-final due to reasons that she wants to keep private. As usual, Michelle Tomczak will take over. Laura will return for the Grand Final.
Tactics, Predictions yadayadayada and a pack of chili powder please. :proud:
As expected. :proud:
That was a great fight nevertheless, only a few small errors which can easily be rectified. Well done, Sam. :)
As for tactics, check the previous posts.
Sam Park: Ah yes... I can smell the destruction already. It's Semi-Final 2, and in the previous semi-final, Tira 3 and E Clawdius Unum fought their way through and earned the place for the grand final. Now, which other two will join them? 8 more robots think they have what it takes to earn the first-ever RoboBASH title! ARE YOU READY TO RUMBLE?????!!!!!
*CROWD CHEERS LIKE HELL*
Sam: All right, LET THE WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRS BEGIN!!!!
(BATTLE 1!!!)
From Toronto, Ontario, Intrigue!
A very intriguing axe weapon, I must say! :proud:
Michelle: I'm back, and standing here with one of my favourite people, Kody Kunz! Kody, Intrigue won Heat I, I believe?
Kody: Exactomundo.
Michelle: OK, so you are up against Yet Another Cut Above the Rest... wow, what a long name. :proud:
Kody: Well, he does have a long name, but he won't have a long life in the arena! :proud:
Michelle: Hahahaha. Tactics?
Kody: I think I will rush it from the start. Then it won't spin no more. :P Then, I will whack away on the parts which look the softest, and then drag it in to the pit, hopefully.
Michelle: All right, best of luck, and may the best bot win.
Kody: ...which would be my bot, of course!
Michelle: Hahahaha!
Oh no, here we go again... :lame: A nice boxy design with a nasty axe powered by a couple of CO2 tanks, and according to Mr. Kunz, that axe is nasty enough to punch through titanium and dent hardox! One word, OUCH! However, I forgot to mention that pneumatics always run out of gas... :wink:
In Heat I: Despite a failed team-up with Wheely Pure Evil, it pounded WORCK and Scarmanga into submission.
From Shrewsbury, Shropshire, Yet Another Cut Above the Rest!
Probably the robot with the BIGGEST spinning weapon here? :P
Michelle: All right, Andy, this just in: you're up against Intrigue!
AJ: Mkay. Well, it HAS got a very powerful axe, but it shouldn't really be too much of a worry.
Michelle: M'kay, tactics?
AJ: Rip the axe off, obviously! Then, I'll just rip Intrigue to shreds.
Michelle: You think you can do it?
AJ: Yeah, I think so, but you never know.
Michelle: All right then, best of luck.
AJ: Thank ye.
YACATR is a nice H-shaped robot with a giant spinning disc mounted in the middle, spun by a LEM-200, and induces a hell of a lot of damage to another opponent. It is also completely invertible, but that also means crushers and axes could find its wheels, and there is one in this fight... Hmm...
In Heat K: Ripped Mega Masher apart, and also tore through Cat with Wheels, before taking out Wedge Devo in a huge upset.
Roboteers, Stand By...
Booth 1: Intrigue
Booth 2: YACATR
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!
Immediately, Intrigue zooms out like lightning and crashes into YACATR, temporarily stopping the disc! Uh oh, this is not looking good for AJ here in this battle! Now, it slams YACATR into the wall!
CRASH!
Ouch, that's going to leave a mark... and now, YACATR is finally released, and spins up to full speed, there! Now, Intrigue and YACATR both charge at each other!
CRASH!!!!
Sparks are flying, and the audience seems to love the action! Intrigue charges at the discbot from Shropshire and gives it a violent jab with the hammer before the disc gets up to speed!
WHACK!
YACATR's disc has been impaled, there... and now, this means Intrigue can push it anywhere it wants... and will Intrigue press the pit button? Yes it does, and the pit goes down! Now, Intrigue lets go of YACATR. Bad idea. Immediately YACATR spins up and disc-slaps the axebot from Toronto, and the disc strikes the hardox with massive force, there! Intrigue tries to get away, but...
CRASH!!!!
WOAH! Sparks ahoy, and... OH look at the side panel! It's got a HUGE scratch in it! Now, Kody is not happy with that at all, and he's trying to get AJ for revenge, and now, Intrigue comes in with the axe yet again! Now YACATR gets a huge one in the disc again!
WHACK!!!
OH!!! The axe has made another massive dent in the hardox disc, there! AJ looks a bit frustrated in the control booth, and meanwhile, Kody puts his fists up in the air for joy, and Intrigue is just not letting go of YACATR, and continues to drag it... towards the hammers! The 50kg hammers come down!
WHAM!!!
YACATR is taking some horrible punishment, here! Now, Intrigue decides to let YACATR go again, and now, the discbot spins up! Now, it just slams into the other side of Intrigue which has not been damaged yet!
CRASH!!!
Whoa! The disc scratches the hardox armourment, and sends Intrigue spinning away into a side wall, there! That's good weapon use by YACATR. Now, YACATR is spinning up again, and now it hits the side of Intrigue again... but Intrigue gets away! Great defense by Intrigue, I must say. Now Intrigue charges into the Shrewsbury machine yet again, and slams it down hard with the axe!
WHACK!
Now, using the better traction and pushing power, it drags YACATR ever so close to the pit... now, YACATR tries to get away... but NO! Intrigue grabs YACATR and drags it right into the pit! It's all over in 1 minute and 15 seconds!
CEASE!
Yet Another Cut Above the Rest gets the cut. :proud:
Intrigue goes through to the Quarter Finals!
(In the pits...)
Michelle: Well, Mr. Jackson. Things really didn't go that well, eh?
AJ: Yeah, I was in a mess!
Michelle: Tell me, what went wrong?
AJ: He had 4 wheels and I only had 2, so he had the better pushing power, and even though I got some good hits, I eventually ended up in the drink.
Michelle: Well, at least you came out in one piece!
AJ: Haha. :P
Michelle: So, is YACATR going to come back?
AJ: Oh yeah. You bet. Next year, the Final Cut is going to come. Besides, I do have the next battle to redeem myself. :proud:
Michelle: All right, we'll be looking forward to that, and thanks for competing.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dan O'Hagan: Intrigue's axe overcomes the spinner of YACATR, and next up... what's this? ANOTHER AJ vs. Kody battle! Here is Son of Ripper VS Super Gore Evo, so let's get it on!
(BATTLE 2!!!)
From Shrewsbury in Shropshire, SoR Hex!
It won Heat J after dispatching the former Roaming Robots Champion, Turbulence in the Heat Final.
Michelle: I'm here with Son of Ripper. So, what have you got for us this time, Andy?
AJ: Son of Ripper has got a flipper and spinner combo, and it's also got 4 set-ups for the rear weaponry.
Michelle: Mkay, which setup will you be using?
AJ: The horizontal bar set up.
Michelle: All right then, Super Gore Evo is your opponent for this battle.
AJ: Yeah, but also the sloped sides will definately make it harder for SGE to grab hold of SoR. So, I'll be flipping it all around the arena, box-rushing it, and I'll put it over the fence or into the pit.
Michelle: Best of luck.
AJ: Thank you.
SoR Hex is probably my personal favourite for this Semi-Final, with that spinner on the back and also the giant flipper on the front. It can also run both ways up if it gets flipped, even if it CAN self-right. However, wheels are wheels, and they might get the swipe if it comes in contact with a vertical crusher or a powerful axe.
In Heat J: Beat up Knocking Out, and beat up Nidhogg by a margin of 0.4 points, before finally pitting Turbulence in the Heat Final.
From Toronto, Ontario, Super Gore Evo!
Let's see how much gore will this robot take out from its opponent!
Michelle: Hey Kody, how's it going?
Kody: Spiffing, m'darling. And you?
Michelle: I'm doing great, thanks. Anyway, you are up against... SoR Hex!
Kody: Augh, I have a feeling this is going to be a difficult match. :lame:
Michelle: ...and why do you say that?
Kody: It's difficult as hell to grab the sloped sides. I'm going to use the piercing claws this time, to latch onto the top armour. Also, if I can coax the flipper to open, I could grab hold of it, and hopefully break something. Then, I'll just drag it into the pit.
Michelle: All right, now go out there and show 'em what you've got!
Kody: Yeah, you know it. :wink:
A box on tracks, it looks like, and not just any box on tracks, it's a box on tracks with pincers! This bad boy has got 2 X 48v LEM-130 Motors, and giant pincers that either pierce or clamp! It will be using the piercing claws for this fight.
In Heat O: It slammed down Radioactive with a bit of help from Liar, burned Turbo Tails and dumped it into the pit, and finally took out its Round 1 partner Liar with a little help from the clamping claws.
Roboteers, Stand By...
Booth 1: Son of Ripper
Booth 2: Super Gore Evo
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!
Immediately, Super Gore Evo is darting forward, and now it crashes into SoR, and tries sinking into it... but no! The sloped sides make it hard to get a hold of! Now, SOR tries getting to the sides with the bar, and smashes into it!
CRASH!!!
Sparks are flying, and the audience loves it! Now, Super Gore charges into the SoR machine, and clamps it once again! Now, it's got a definite grip on it, and SoR gets dragged into the pit button, and the pit opens. SoR now escapes, and gets to the sides of Super Gore again, this time with the flipper!
FLIP!
Nice flip there by SoR, it sends Super Gore 8 feet up and crashing down near the pit! Better get out of there, Kody... and he does, fortunately. Now, SoR is coming in for the kill here again! But Super Gore turns, and clamps SoR, and it's pushing SoR towards the pit! SoR can't get away... OH YES IT CAN! SoR miraculously drives away from the clutches of Super Gore! Very good defense there, by SoR. Now, coming in for the kill again, Super Gore begins to dart forward into SoR, but SoR turns and gets under the rear end of Super Gore!
FLIP!!
Again, the flip sends Super Gore right on its back, but it is dangerously close to the hammers. Kody drives Super Gore towards SoR there, clearly avoiding the hammer! Now, it tries to clamp SoR but it gets away! SoR puts the flipper to use again, and gets under the sides of Super Gore again somehow! Now, it carries the Canadian pincer over to the wall...
FLIP!!!
... and it is NOT high enough to throw Super Gore over the wall! Super Gore bounces off the wall, and SoR's plans are foiled! Super Gore has recovered from that initial attack, and now it SLAMS itself into SoR, clamps it, and tries to drag it over to the saws! BZZT! Oh, how I love thee, dear sparks. :proud: Anyway, SoR again slams into Super Gore's side, and this time with the blade...
CRASH!!!
The sparks are flying again, and now Super Gore uses the pincers to grab hold of SoR by the side! Now, it tries to drag SoR over to the pit, but SoR is trying hard to get away... and it eventually does! Great attack there by Super Gore Evo, and a very good defense there by SoR again! Now, SoR gets under the sides of Super Gore again, and carries it towards the wall again!
FLIP!!
What? How'd that not go out?! :crazy: Super Gore just bounces off the wall again and immediately goes onto its right side up! Will this go to a judge's decision, I wonder? With very limited time, I think it might as well do.
10... 9... 8...
Super Gore Evo clamps the SoR machine from the side again! Now, it's got SoR by the ropes! SoR is being dragged towards the pit there!
7... 6... 5... 4...
OH! It BARELY escapes and now, it gets underneath the great pincer's side, carries it to the wall and FLIPS!
FLIP!
3... 2... 1...
...and again, it's NOT high enough! My goodness, what a great battle this is!
CEASE!
Ooh! What a tense battle that was! However, it is all up to the judges now.
JD: SoR Hex / Super Gore
Style: 3/5 / 2/5
Control: 2/5 / 3/5
Damage: 2.9/5 / 2.1/5
Aggresion: 2.2/5 / 2.8/5
Total Score: 10.1/20 / 9.9/20
Super Gore Evo: the end. :proud:
SoR Hex goes through to the Quarter Finals!
(In the pits)
Michelle: OMG! I can't believe Super Gore is out!
Kody: Yeah, but hey, at least I have one bot through.
Michelle: Hahaha. Tell me, what went wrong there?
Kody: He was just all over me, and he got many decisive attacks, too... although I was slightly the more agressive. :P
Michelle: Do you think if you had more time, you could've pulled it off?
Kody: Well, maybe, because if AJ hadn't got out of my clutches, then I would've been able to put him in the drink, but sadly... yeah, it didn't happen. :proud:
Michelle: Ouch. Well, you have a robot that is already through to the Grand Final, don't you? Tira 3, I think?
Kody: Yeah.
Michelle: How do you think Tira would do?
Kody: Oh, well that entirely depends on my opponent. If I get a really tough opponent like SoR, then I'm screwed. :P
Michelle: Hahahaha! Aww. Well, thanks for competing, and I hope to see you back again! :)
Kody: Yes you will. :proud:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Super Gore Evo: The End :proud:
Oi, what did I say about originality, Mr. Park? ;)
Still, great fights nonetheless, and I'm still chuffed (and slightly nonplussed) that I have at least two contenders in this shindig. :proud:
2 more battles left in the Semis.
Pure Evil: Revenge of the Disc VS Whirligig
Whirligig. It's too tough for PE: ROTD to damage.
Tempest Evil-est-Oution VS Archangel of the Abyss
Archangel to win here.
Sam Park: So far, SoR and Intrigue went through, respectively beating Super Gore Evo and YACATR. Now... it's time to put another 2 victims into the arena! Please welcome... PURE EVIL AND WHIRLIGIG!!!!
(BATTLE 3!!!)
From Merthyr Tydfil, in Wales, Pure Evil: Revenge of the Disc!
Cruella De Vil, much? :proud:
Michelle: Right, so Dan, what would you do if you were placed in a battle with another spin-bot?
Dan: Oh, well then I'm screwed, because I MIGHT self-destruct after a couple of hits...
Michelle: The bad news: you're in battle with Whirligig.
Dan: Oh crap. :lame: He's a good spinner as well as a fine pusher, so maybe it'll be probably difficult.
Michelle: OK, tactics?
Dan: Probably spin up and kill it ASAP?
Michele: Right then, best of luck.
Dan: Thank you.
A 38kg, 2400RPM spinner flywheel on the back unleashes almost 300kJ, and the flipper on the front can flip another bot easily OOTA! However... Dan said it might as well take a very long time to self-right, so maybe Pure Evil won't really live up to its name... but that's just me. :P
In Heat D: Immolated Dreadnaut XP-1, Tore through the May Tracks and finally gored Flick of the Wrist.
From Glasgow, Scotland, Whirligig!
Twirlin', twirlin', round we go! :proud:
Michelle: Right, so Steve, I believe Whirligig won Heat F?
Steve: That's right.
Michelle: Right, then. You are up against Pure Evil: ROTD!
Steve: Well, although it has almost 300kJ in its spinner, I doubt that it will go through my tough shell.
Michelle: OK, so what's the battle plan?
Steve: Spin up and kill it ASAP.
Michelle: That's what Dan said.
Steve: Oh, he did? :P
Michelle: Haha, yeah. All right then, best of luck.
Steve: Thank you.
So let's see now... a nice cylinderical shape, with 9 menacing blades to rip and shred opponents, and an energy output of 100kJ! Once you get hit, death will be upon you like a storm! Those shuffling pads are crusher and axe fodders, but you got to get past that spinning ring first! :shock:
In Heat F: Destroyed Big Nipper, and got through Nitro-Gene and Seung Mina in a controversial judge's decision.
Roboteers, Stand By...
Booth 1: PE: ROTD
Booth 2: Whirligig
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!
Battle of the spinners, anyone? Already the two robots are spinning up! Now, they have reached their maximum potential and immediately crash into each other with MASSIVE force!
CRASH!!!!
OH!!!!! The collision between the two robots create sparks, and they send each other flying across the arena! Now, Pure Evil is using its front to slam into Whirligig, and therefore, getting under it!
FLIP!!!
An insane flip given to Whirligig there, and it flips the spinner over onto its back! Whirligig is okay though, and both bots spin up again! You can hear the revving of the motors, and now, Pure Evil gets the flipper to work yet again!
FLIP!!
OH!! Whirligig goes flying, and bounces off the wall, and back into the arena it goes! Now, both bots spin up and crash into each other once again, weapon to weapon, with superb synchronization!
CRASH!!!!
WOAH!! That spins both bots out of control, causing themselves to slam into the wall! Now, was there any damage to either of the robots, I wonder? Hang on a minute... is Pure Evil okay? Obviously not, because although it's able to move, its flywheel HAS STOPPED SPINNING! Let's have a look at the collison again. I think that the energy unleashed was a bit too much for Pure Evil, and therefore the spinner stopped spinning. Now when the spinner is gone, that means the flipper is also gone! Therefore, Pure Evil is now weaponless! Anyway, Whirligig is okay, and now, it spins up again! It smashes into Pure Evil's lifeless spinning ring, and Pure Evil tries getting away but... too late.
CRASH!!!!!!
HO HO! That SLAMS the Warrior SKF-lookalike into the wall! Now, Whirligig spins up, and gets ready to smash into Pure Evil's side, but it gets away just in time... and Whirligig smashes into the wall.
CRASH!!!!!!!!
Aurgh. A huge piece comes off of the wall, but the fight continues. Nice piece off of the wall, Steve-O, but you'll have to deal with this later. :angry: Whirligig spins up again, and smashes into Pure Evil!
CRASH!!!!!!
Pure Evil is spun across the arena, and to be honest, I think it is safe to say that Whirligig has won this battle. I think Pure Evil is not moving at all and has been completely incapacitated, now. It seems that Whirligig has dislodged something inside of Pure Evil during the recent impact. Now, Whirligig pushes them onto the floor flipper, and it's air-time for Pure Evil! 3... 2... 1... ah... FLIP! There we go, Pure Evil is tossed across the arena like a salad! Pure Evil is now on its back, unable to move or self-right. The countdown is on!
10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... OUT!
Now, Whirligig pushes the pit button and finally starts to nudge Pure Evil towards the pit... and BOOM! Pure Evil goes down!
CEASE!
Pure Evil: Revenge of the Disc didn't get its revenge.
Whirligig goes through to Round 5!
Brilliant fight, Samuel! Great to see you trying to finish up ROBOBASH!!!.
Sam: Three robots bite the dust, and only one battle remains until the fight for the grand final! It's time for the robots to throw down yet again! In the next battle, we've got Tempest Evil-est-Oution VS Archangel of the Abyss!!!!
(BATTLE 4!!!)
From Gainsborough in Lincolnshire, Tempest Evil-est-Oution!
Runner-up in C&B 2, but I reckon that it most likely will go all the way.
Michelle: I'm here with the evil machine, Tempest again!
Frank: Oh yeah, veeery evil...
Michelle: Haha. :proud: OK, so you are up against... Archangel of the Abyss!
Frank: Augh. Another difficult opponent. Back in the heats, I had to fight MSSD for God's sake. :P
Michelle: Haha. :P Tactics?
Frank: Not much I can do, so spin up before Archangel does and smash into the damn thing until it dies of shock, or whatever.
Michelle: Best of luck.
Frank: Thank you.
Goodness me, it's a cylinder on steroids, with 4 menacing blades of doom attached to a 1000RPM, 83 kJ ring spinner! However... uh, it IS invertible, so maybe the wheels MIGHT be axe or crusher fodder... but again, that's just me. :P
In Heat P: Demolished Spring-BOK, then took out Metal Sonic Spin Dash and Killobite in the heat final.
From Geddington in Northampton, Archangel of the Abyss!
OMG! It's the archangel, and it's sucking me in! HELP! :proud:
Michelle: The Archangel is back and ready for carnage, I believe?
Alex: Exactly right.
Michelle: OK, then. You are up against... Tempest Evil-est-Oution!
Alex: Wow, that's it? I thought it was something massive. :P
Michelle: Haha. :P Tactics?
Alex: Spin up and kill it. That's obviously the main thing to do... and after that, throw it into the pit or something. :proud:
Michelle: Right then, best of luck to you.
Alex: Ta.
Another cylinder on steroids? Oh boy... this time a walker, with not one, but two spinning flywheels that spin at insane speeds! These flywheels will cause some critical damage to another opponent if they come into contact with another robot, and also it's quite fast for a walker with a decent 12mph top speed, as well. However, 12mph IS still a little bit on the slow side, don't forget.
In Heat C: KO'ed Another Night At the Bar and Sithis, and finally took out a very tough machine, Psyclonised to win the heat.
Roboteers, Stand By
Booth 1: Tempest Evil-est-Oution
Booth 2: Archangel of the Abyss
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!
Here we go again, with yet another battle of the spinners. Archangel is slightly the faster to spin up, but now, Tempest has gotten up to full speed as well! Both robots collide with each other in a mad showdown!
KERRASH!!!!!!!!!!
OH!!! Both bots go flying out of control, there, and Archangel immediately recovers from that attack and rams itself right into the pit button, and the pit opens. Now both bots spin up their weapons... and now the two robots crash into each other with massive force again!
CRASH!!!!!!
OH!!! That's one hell of a hit! Both bots go flying in a massive flurry of sparks there, and now, Tempest lands... very, very close to the pit, and almost in... but it just BARELY gets away. :uhoh: Archangel could've had it if Tempest plummeted into the pit, but no, it did not happen! Anyway, now both bots spin up, and they are coming in for the kill once again!
CRASH!!!!!
WOAH!!!! That sends both bots flying into submission! Now, Archangel is okay, but Tempest is very near the saws... and Frank drives Tempest away just in time! Now, both bots still go for the jugular, and they crash into each other once again, the weapons spun up to full speed!
CRASH!!!!
Both bots go flying yet AGAIN, and the funny thing is that they are still okay even after they have exchanged extremely violent blows with each other! This is a good battle in the making so far... now, Tempest was a champion in the Vapourbot Grand Championships, and also runner up in Crash & Burn 2, don't forget... but now, Archangel starts scuttling towards Tempest again, and at the same time, Tempest is spinning up! Now, both bots crash into each other again, there!
CRASH!!!!!!
OHH!!! Both bots produce massive force upon contact and they go spinning away once more, and sparks are just littering the arena floor! Both Frank and Alex in the control booths are looking a bit agitated, right now, but they are doing very well, nonetheless... and this is some wonderful stuff we're seeing here; I'm enjoying this very much as well! Now, both bots come in for the kill weapon to weapon again!
CRASH!!!!!!
WOAH!!! Tempest... landing near the pit again here, but again it gets away! Very good defense there by Frank's machine, I must say. But there is a small scratch made in the ring spinner of Tempest, but it is only superficial, thankfully. However, now the Archangel awaits Tempest, both flywheels spun up to full speed, and what's going to happen? Guess. :P
CRASH!!!!!
Both bots go flying out of control once again there! Now, both bots spin up to speed again, and smashes into each other!
CRASH!!!!
Sparks fly, and both robots also fly! Again, no real damage suffered by any of these robots... but time is running out... there are only 20 seconds left in this battle...
CRASH!!!!!!!!
WOAH HO HO! Both robots go flying for another time! But now, there seems to be damage caused to Tempest... yes there is! There is a not-too-big scratch in the ring spinner there, and now if this goes to a judges decision, (and I've got a feeling it will) then Archangel will score points, but again, considering Tempest can still move freely, the damage is superficial.
10... 9... 8...
Archangel spins up again... and now at the same time, Tempest spins up!
7... 6... 5... 4...
Now both bots crash into each other one last time...
3... 2... 1...
CEASE!!
CRASH!!!!!!
OI! Tempest lands near the pit, and teeters on the edge! But it's all over now. What a fight that was; cheers to both teams!
JD: Tempest / Archangel
Style: 2.7/5 / 2.3/5
Damage: 2.2/5 / 2.8/5
Control: 2.5/5 / 2.5/5
Agression: 2.5/5 / 2.5/5
Total Score: 9.9/20 / 10.1/20
Tempest gets downgraded into a light breeze.
Archangel of the Abyss goes through to the Quarter Finals!
Round 5 Draws
Intrigue VS Son of Ripper
Whirligig VS Archangel
Tactics, Predictions, and a large can of Diet Coke please.
IT'S ALIVE AGAIN!!!
Anyway, predictions...
Intrigue VS SoR Hex
I can see SoR's wedge getting under Intrigue's terrible side and rear ground clearance. Intrigue out of here, me thinks.
Whirligig 4.5 VS Archangel of the Abyss
2 evil spinners... :mrgreen: I can see Archangel's legs biting the dust here. Stevie and Whirligig through.
It lives. I knew it would. :proud:
See, Mark? Tournaments always rise up again, so this is a reason why there's no need for you to bump tournaments and whine that everybody's forgotten about them.
With that said...
Intrigue vs. Son of Ripper Hex
Seeing as Sam largely ignores tactics I'm not even sure why I'm typing this :proud: but anyway I'll just rush right at it hoping Sam also ignores my much-too-low-ground-clearance-that-will-probably-prove-my-downfall-this-fight. The nose shouldn't prove too tough for the prongs to get under, and if they miss the nose, they're longer than it if I recall and can reach under the front around the nose, therefore effectively getting under it and having it at my mercy. If I can, I'll try and get some shots in at the exposed wheels, but my main job will be to try and pit the damn thing, so I'll clamp it for most of the time. Whatever rear weapon he chooses shouldn't do too much damage to my 9mm titanium armour either, so that's nice, but I guess he counters that with his 4mm Hardox. Ah well. We should be equal in power and torque as well, so if it comes to a pushing match, my axe shall be a great benefit. :proud: The skirt on the axe head will be removed for this fight, by the way.
Whirligig 4.5 vs. ArchAngel of the Abyss
I'll be hiding in the bomb shelter now. :P j/k, ArchAngel's massive weight advantage to pulverize Whirligig.
Good luck Andy, as if you bloody need it. :P
*Cough*Says the person who needs to get back to working on C&B4 And MToD3*Cough*
Well, at least Intrigue's reign of terror isn't over yet.
Give it a rest, I'll continue those when I feel like it. Sometimes people just aren't as...energetic as you, and you seem to forget that every time we tell you this.Quote:

What exactly does that have to do with my last post? I'd be quite pleased to be enlightened on that.
I'm trying to point out that if I'm still a worthless idiot(like last time), I'm not as worthless and as much of an idiot as I was back then.
And at what time, since you came back in April, did I say you're a worthless idiot?
And no, what you said there doesn't have anything to do with that post of mine. If you really must know, I was telling you (once again) to be patient. :P
Oh...
Well, I don't think I've bumped any tournies as of my return... except for me giving tactics and predictions...
And the patience thing might be due to me eating a bunch of sugar. Last night, I had 3 caramel turtles, and well, that's just too much.
But let's follow what you said, and stop posting in here. Samuel will get this done... when he wants to.
