Yes, lets leave it...
I sounded slightly harsh above, but thats largely due to exam stress more than anything, and I just got fed up with all the needless clogging of threads, so sorry to Kody or Marti or anyone else I may have offended.
Now, Paul, some fights if you would be so kind? :proud:
As ever, tactics and predictions when the time comes.
HEAT 1
Intriguing (1) vs. Q.E.2 vs. Paralyzation - Paralyzation out
Leprosy Infection (17) vs. Sonic Boom vs. Chaos 2 - Chaos 2 out
Bumping this thread to give my predictions for the fights Im not in:
Heat 1
Intriguing (1) vs QE2 vs Paralyzation
Well good for you, Kody! You have a bot thats the first seed! Considering the fact that QE2 is teaming up with Intriguing, I see no way for Paralyzation to survive. QE2 and Intriguing through.
Leprosy Infection (17) vs Sonic Boom vs Chaos 2
Aw.. 2 deadly vapours against a 2-time UK champion. Chaos 2 must flip Sonic Boom to go through. Chris is most definitely through. Dont know wholl join him.
Heat Winner: Intriguing (1)
Heat 2
Ramthrax 2 (3) vs Monolith vs Crimson Thunder
Ramthrax is an aging design, but it still has at least one more heat final in it.Ramthrax to definitely go through, with Crimson Thunder following.
Gabriel II (19) vs Requiem vs Drum Boy
Gabriel II and Requiem look good if they team up, since Drum Boy has almost no hope of escaping the heat.
Heat Winner: Gabriel II (19)
Heat 3
Kali (5) vs Supreme Glory Omega vs Iron Awe 5
The question is: will Iron Awe 5 team up with SGO, and bring the seed to its knees? Err.. Wheels? Iron Awe 5 definitely through, with the seed following.
Orka Mk.4 vs ROVERESS vs Werewolf
They asked for it, get my jaw in on Werewolf or Orka, clamp it, and pit it. My drive should be able to push them easily, and my armour will not even be scratched. I believe Me and Orka could go through.
Heat Winner: Kali and Me meet in the heat final, and he beats me.
Heat 4
Killotine: Evo (7) vs Beta-Rex vs CYRILIUM MACH 3
Steve, dont listen to Liam! Team up with me! I flip him, and we both use our axes to put a lot of holes in his baseplate. If the teamup works, Killotine: Evo, the once champ, to go through, with me following.
Cyclone Force 3 (23) vs Kracko vs Isolation
Kody has a good chance of winning here, so if he and AJ team up, Isolation will bite the dust.
Heat Winner: Killotine: Evo
Heat 5
Big Nipper (9) vs TVW vs Darkestar
Alex, how about we team up against Big Nipper and annihilate the seed? You shove him around, and I use my axe to rip him to shreds, with you helping, of course.
Shrederator (25) vs Lethal Injection vs Typhoon 2
Shrederator and Typhoon 2 go through. Simple as that.
Heat Winner: Me and Shrederator to meet in the heat final, he destroys my skirts, and I lose.
Heat 6
Sithis (11) vs Weapon Synergy vs ARMORY
Ill use my disc to shred each part of Weapon Synergy to pieces, one at a time. Maybe team up with Sithis the seeded, and finish the cluster off.
Panic Attack (27) vs Axeon 3.0 vs Nidhogg
Ive actually had Nidhogg in my tournies. Its a rugged machine. Panic Attack out.
Heat Winner: Nidhogg
Heat 7
PsycloniZer (13) vs Apocalypse vs SIDE SWIPE 2
Paul, if its no trouble, I would like to replace Side Swipe with Side Swipe 2.
AJ has the more destructive bot. I would like to team up with AJ, and we can take out Apocalypse with near-no problem. Shove it into AJs machine, and let the shards of rubble fly! If I get the chance, shove Apocalypse down the pit.
Seung Mina IV (29) vs Sakura vs Pure Evil: ROTD
If Kody slams Pure Evil into Sakura, like he plans to, Its all over. Say goodnight Daniel.
Heat Winner: PsycloniZer (13)
Heat 8
SOR X (31) vs It Still Doesnt Stand For Anything vs TORNADO
Ill use the vertical disc for this fight.
Frank, would you like to team up? Together, we have a good chance of sending AJs elite machine BTTDB (Back to the Drawing Board). Let Frank flip it, then come in for the kill.
Turbo Tails vs CORKSCREW 2 vs LockJaw
Liam, Corkscrew is one of the most powerful robots to ever have existed. Team up with Turbo Tails, and DESTROY LOCKJAW by ripping it up, heavily damaging its wheels, and making its claw immobile.
Heat Winner: ME! I mean ISDSFA!
Heat 9
Achilles (16) vs Ripper Evo vs Collateral Damage
Achilles to definitly go through here. Dont know whos gonna join him.
Walk Dont Run 3 (32) vs Tempest Evil-Est-Lution vs Metal Sonic Spin Dash
Walk Dont Run is through. Again, dont know who will follow. maybe MSSD.
Heat Winner: Achilles (16)
Heat 10
YACATR (14) vs. Mega Masher 2 vs. FireStorm 5
AJ to go through, maybe with Chris?
Black Death 2 (30) vs. Gemini vs. Warhead
Black Death to go through with Warhead, impaling gemini on the spikes in the progress.
Heat Winner: YACATR (14)
Heat 11
Cat With Wheels (12) vs Tira IV vs MINESWEEPER
Kody majorly underestimates Minesweeper. A 6mm Hardox armoured bot will easily be protected from Tiras disc, while the 10mm Hardox scoops will not be scratched. Shove Tira, disc-first, into the wall. The thing will blow up like a pack of explosives. Press the pit release button, and shove Tira IV down the pit.
Black Panther (28) vs. Turbo Shredder vs. Masamune
Not Sure.
Heat Winner: Cat With Wheels (12)
Mark, a few things:
1) You seem to wrongly assume that your vapours will be undamaged, given that the writer and a lot of people in this tournament...dont particuarly like you, to put it mildly. Come to think of it, you appear to overestimate the amount of damage that robots can cause - I cant see any of the vapours here being instantly shattered or vapourised or torn to shreds just with weaponry. The most damage Ive ever seen in a fight was Hypnodisc v. Splinter, and that was a bit far from your descriptions of robotic apocolyptica :P
2) For the Cyclone Force/Kracko/Isolation fight, AJs not even there, and Kody has teamed up with me anyway...Id like to point out Isolations stats are on Kodys boards now as well.
3) Armour. I continually say it, having 6mm or 10mm or even 50mm thick hardox armour is completely useless if whatever holds it on isnt strong enough. When you start using hardox thicker than about 5mm, the strength of the armour becomes irrelevant as the fixings will break from shock before the plate gets damaged - see Supernova vs. Mechaniac. Same goes for any other material, usually thicker, although some plastics like polycarb are inherently weak around mounting points.
Mostly I think writers assume that since most of the stats are up to scratch and the person who designed the vapourbot is generally a good guy (because most of us generally are :P), that the armour is held on rather strongly. However, if you start being an arse and arguing with people, they are going to notice what you miss out on your stats a lot more, and take advantage of it somewhat. Just a couple of thoughts.
ffffff>And sorry for putting another rant in your thread, Paul :P

Incidentally, most people dont allow robots to be changed after lineups have been posted.
Well then....
Cyclone Force 3 (23) vs Kracko vs Isolation
Since Kody and Joey have teamed up, Its almost impossible for Cyclone Force to win. Kody and Joey through.
God, I hope Paul bans you from EOTR6 Mark.
No Offence:proud:
Yeah, right!
Another wonderful draw for Chaos 2. :lame:
Not much I can do here. Keep away from Leprosys drum and try to use my slightly better pushing power to shove Sonic Boom around. Either try to get out the arena, into the flywheels or down the pit.
On heat 10, there are 2 of my entrants in the same battle.
