The Crash & Burn Tournament 2

Time for a grand (but not THE grand!) heat final! :proud:

Liar vs. The Disc 5

Liar got rid of the third seed Orka MK4 in a collaborative effort before taking down Novastorm 2, who got tossed OOTA by one of Ancalagons discs.

The Disc 5 surprisingly defeated the feared Mass Disctruction Revolution before trying to take out Voltronic AND Double Whamlet, defeating the former but getting pitted by Whamlets buddy, Obelix Bulguous, shortly after.

Roboteers, stand by...

Booth 1: Liar
Booth 2: The Disc 5

House fighters? Why, Tira-san and Asterix Heroicus, of course. :proud:

ACTIVATE!!!

Its the big fat Liar versus the really agitating The Disc 5, and they immediately blast towards each other in a classic rush. WHAM! Liar hammers The Disc and prevents the weapon from reaching its deadly speeds! FLIP! Oh my! The Disc is inverted! And you know what? It doesnt look like that makes any difference, for hes the exact same any way up...and The Disc retaliates with a disc blow to the side of Liar.
CRASH!
Liar shudders violently, and pieces of armour are sliced off and flung across the arena! Other than that, he seems to be okay, but The Disc isnt going to have that for long! Another charge at the side Frank attempts, but Liar is reversing away...and charges forward, right into The Disc! Too late, though, to stop the flywheel.
CRASH! FLIP!
WOW! What a collision! The Disc has been sent back quite a bit by that greeting of the flipper, but Liar is definitely the worse off here, as the flipper is slightly bent, and it doesnt look like itll be as effective now. Seeing this Frank goes for the death blow but Martijn isnt keen on letting this battle slip away and Liar wheels around, causing The Disc to drive one of its hubs right up onto the battered flipper! FLIP! The Disc is launched and spun right into the air, coming down and bouncing almost the entire length of the arena, and settling down near the flame pit! Aha! Finally, the arena saws come into the play for the first time in this tournament as Liar gets struck by them, sending a shower of sparks streaming through his underbelly. The Disc seems to be in a daze; Frank is working the controls extremely quickly but his beloved barbell bot is moving very sluggishly. Sensing weakness, Liar comes forward with a reverse ram to the wheel hub. The Disc does a pirouette, whacking Liar in the side with his other hub. Liar turns and flips...air! Inverted flipperbot! The Disc advances slowly, and hits the inverted Liar in the back.
CRASH!!
That blow nearly turned Liar right back over, but the wedge prevented this and tossed Liar right back into The Disc. Martijn rams the flipper button with his fist just as Liar rolls forward, and the audience is silenced as Liar somersaults over The Disc...to land on his back again. :proud: Not too good for Martijn! The Disc reverses, spinning weapon back at its deadly potential, though spinning down, and Liar tries to right himself, but another obstacle is in his path: the arena wall!
CRASH!
The Discs disc comes down upon Liar with almost the force of a falling tower, and it bounces Liar into the air about a few inches. Liar activates the flipper, but no good. The Watcher senses an end to the match and comes over to bring it to Liar!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!

CEASE!

Liar, Liar, parts on fire! :proud:
The Disc 5 advances to the Series Semi-Finals!!

Heat C
Aquarius (5) vs. Flipping Mad vs. Leprosy Infection
Breed vs. Rogue vs. Firestorm V

Tactics? Predictions? Smelling salts due to the fact that I wrote a fight? :proud:

welcome back :proud:

Aquarius (5) vs. Flipping Mad vs. Leprosy Infection
Not sure on al the stats, Aquarius to go through, I believe Flipping Mad to be decent enough to join him.

Breed vs. Rogue vs. Firestorm V
The clusterbot to lose it.

I believe Ive already posted my tactics, but as a reminder, my target is the ageing Flipping Mad. From the sides, mind.

Sure, help Chris take out flipping mad

So far, Ive seen absolutely NO activity in the Fan Fic section for over two weeks. Wheres all the interest gone? If there isnt some more comings and goings on in the near future, Im afraid I might have to cancel the fights and do hypotheticals...

Come on, people! :sad:

meh, look at it this way... theres always less activity here during vacation, and..
little activity + less activity = no activity

or something like that

there are several tourneys over here... Chris realie tourney and Matts FanFic among them, where I do suspect fights sooner or later... just not during the holidays... AND...

MECHANICAL NOISE - SERIES 2 SIGNUPS WILL OPEN THIS MONTH!

I havent been able to do much lately for I spent my vacation with my parents, where internet tends to suck... vacations almost over though... which is a bad thing for me, but a good thing for FanFic!

True. Its the holidays, and despite the fact that it leaves plenty of time to write battles, Ive been relaxing too much. Having said that, the next fight in the annihilator has been started.

nice :)

If theres no activity when I get back properly next week, I shall go around poking people with a sharp stick.

All right, lets get down to business! Heres Heat C!

Aquarius (5) vs. Flipping Mad vs. Leprosy Infection

Aquarius is the fifth seed of C&Bt, and he well earned it, with that awesome 340 degree flipping arm. Its powered by dual 5kg CO2 tanks and can flip at 3000PSI. The body shape is like BB middleweight Psychotron, except the wheels arent as exposed. Its powered by 2 LEM130s: at 25mph, this is one of the fastest 2WD bots in this tournament. It also has 12mm titanium armour too! Can it achieve a status higher than No. 5?
C&BT1: Beat Kali, Y4, and Axeon in Heat A, before losing to the champion, Salamander III, in the finals.

Flipping Mad may have been named because Dave Sheppard was flipping mad when making this bot :proud:, but that doesnt mean its all gone to seed! This veteran is a skirted box with a scoop-like front, on which rests a gigantic flipper, though powered by a single CO2 tank. Sports 4WD and 6mm titanium, half as much as Aquarius. Older than life itself, will Flipping Mad surprise everyone?
C&BT1: Did not enter.

Leprosy Infection, by Christopher Mason, is unchanged from last season. Its still got its Tetanus Booster-like shape, its front plough, its EXTREMELY dangerous spinning drum, and its 7mm titanium. It also retains its wheel flap, its curved teeth on the drum, its 4wd invertibility, and its vomit-inducing lime green colour. Ready to be sick?
C&BT1: Lost to Wedge Devolution in Heat B.

Roboteers, stand by...

Booth 1: Leprosy Infection, Aquarius
Booth 2: Flipping Mad

Double Big Mac isnt the one youd want to take out of this match, especially when hes accompanied by none other than Exa-Gore-Ic: AI. :proud:

ACTIVATE!

The team-up against Flipping Mad is on! And to be quite honest, it doesnt look like Flipping Mad can do much...well see. In comes Aquarius with his own and more powerful flipping arm. He and Flipping Mad crash into each other, neither able to get underneath the other, when Leprosy Infection enters the fray.
CRASH!
A nasty hit to the side of Flipping Mad leaves the right side skirt 25 feet away from its owner! Flipping Mad is more worried about whats happened to himself: hes been flung upwards and onto Leprosys drum! And that allows Aquarius to slide under the now slightly tilted front flipper of Flipping Mad! FLIP! Flipping Mad not only crashes down onto its back, but its rear end raises up a little too! Good force on Aquarius flipper there! Leprosy, thankful that Flipping Mad is off his drum, backs away to rev up that deadly force of metal-tearing viciousness and strike with it once more, only to find Flipping Mad has wisely retreated away. Aquarius is regrouping and taking an aggressive stance to Flipping Mad. Flipping Mad meets the charge head-on and BAM! both bots are jolted again! Uh oh, here comes Leprosy again, but Flipping Mad has slipped out of the way, and Leprosy better watch out for the arena wall! Thankfully he does. Meanwhile Aquarius is chasing Flipping Mad down, and Flipping Mad turns around: BANG! The fronts meet again and cancel out, but this time Aquarius is knocked onto Flipping Mads scoop by the jolt, and FLIP! Aquarius is inverted...and that makes no difference because Aquarius is the same either way up! But Flipping Mad is coming in for another attack, and Aquarius now is the one to turn...BANG! Flipping MAd barrels onto Aquarius and the wedges are again unable to penetrate the other. In comes Leprosy Infection again with the drum, and Flipping Mad tries to reverse away. No good.
CRASH!
The 6mm titanium didnt take too well to THAT hit: shards of titanium litter the floor! That is one powerful drum! Aquarius took advantage of the interruption and is now under Flipping Mad. FLIP! Flipping Mad gets a taste of his own medicine, now inverted! Aquarius shoves him against the wall as the latter tries to self-right, and does so: right back onto Aquarius, that is. FLIP! Again Flipping Mad is inverted.
CRASH!
Leprosy crashes into Flippings left side, tearing off the skirt! This hit shunts the crippled Flipping Mad off of Aquarius, but Tony wants to see that bot dead. FLIP! Aquarius flipper finds Flipping Mads left side and tosses him over. Flipping Mad rights himself, but is too late to stop an incoming charge from the seemingly persistant Leprosy Infection.
CRASH!!!
And the flipper has taken MAJOR damage! Its all bent up at the front, and some small pieces have been removed from the edge! Leprosy Infection is the one to watch in this fight! But Aquarius isnt too keen on letting Leprosy have all the fun, and sliding the arm under Daves broken bot tosses him! FLIP! Flipping Mad is thrown across the arena and almost into a CPZ but thankfully just out of reach of Exa-Gore-Ics claws. Its about to get in reach though as Aquarius shoves him right in there! Double Big Mac instantly leaves his CPZ and weve got a melee! Ooh, Leprosy Infection has taken a shot from the arena saws there, and some sparks have flown, but hes resilient to the hit! Flipping Mad however is not so resilient. Exa-Gore-Ic has clamped upon his sides and begun to squeeze squeeze SQUEEZE the life out of him.
CRASH!
WHOA! Aquarius has just taken a shot from Double Big Macs hammers, and a panel off the back has been removed! But this also means that DBM is now completely out of control, and goes all gyroscope city until he crashes onto his head. :proud: Aquarius seems to be okay, and now hes all AWOL on Flipping Mads rear end. FLIP! Flipping Mad AND Exa-Gore-Ic are tossed up a bit, but come back down. Hey! Leprosy Infection charges into Exa-Gore-Ics side!
CRASH!!!
Ouch! That hadda hurt! Yes it did, especially if Exa-Gore-Ic is suddenly streaming smoke! The big house bot releases Flipping Mad, who (FLIP!) is tossed onto him by Aquarius. :proud: Leprosy charges Exa-Gore-Ic again, no drumming action visible. Exa-Gore-Ic is pinned by Leprosy, Aquarius AND Flipping Mad, and cant move! Aquarius lets out a mighty steam snort (FLIP!) sending Exa-Gore-Ic keeling up, almost onto his side, and Aquarius races under him. The Watcher comes over to try and put a stop to this madness but its no use. Aquarius finally tosses the big guy over (FLIP!) but Flipping Mad is rolled over and stuck in the CPZ between his two evil enemies. Not that he can do much, for Aquarius slides under the bent flipper and...you guessed it. FLIP! :proud:

CEASE!

Flipping Mad needs to see a physician. :proud:
Aquarius (5) and Leprosy Infection advance to Round 2!

Next battle: Breed vs. Rogue vs. Firestorm V

Predictions, tactics, and SOME activity...please?
