Its ArchAngel, getting up to speed, and ready to tear that uber crusher to thousands of pieces, but its Clawdius who gets in first and suffers a slight blow to the beak, but comes in again right away and clamps down onto the outer shell of ArchAngel! the lower spinning ring is still spinning, however, so Clawdius decides to dump it in the pit. He hits the pit release button, opening the pit, and, releasing the spinner from the claw, dumps it into the pit - NO!!! WHAT THE BLOODY HELL?!? ARCHANGEL IS FLUNG AWAY FROM THE PIT!!! What happened?! Instant replay please...okay, Clawdius dumping him in...and the lower spinning ring, still up to speed, touched the wall of the pit, sending it flying away! I say, ArchAngel was momentarily inside the pit, so the match should be Clawdius, but the judges disagree and allow the match to continue! What an amazing turn of events! And Archangel of the Abyss is allowed to fight this day! Were back to the action, Clawdius again trying to get under ArchAngel - look at this, the look on Steven McGregors face, it could kill! :crazy: But the look on Alex Holts face is a broad grin as he directs ArchAngel towards the flame pit. Clawdius still cant get under ArchAngel and now hes backing away as ArchAngel gets the spinning shell into play, spinning away! Oh, look, theres smoke around ArchAngel, so there was damage caused from the first blow by Clawdius! The question is, we dont know how much damage was cuased because ArchAngel is apparently spinning at full speed; Clawdius gets away, but ArchAngel follows him around the arena. Clawdius now decides at last to take a blow and backs into ArchAngel, and SMASH!!! Oh dear goodness me, the back wedge panel is completely gone! Clawdius turns around quickly and finds ArchAngel already halfway up to speed! Hurriedly he comes in but is tossed away a bit by the Most Feared (Vapour) Bot. He comes back in and ArchAngel is coming at him despite not at full speed again! Clawdius charges bravely and this time the crusher is hammered completely. ArchAngel stops, and is stuck on the wedge of Clawdius. Clawdius tries the crusher, but it is not functioning! Look at all the smoke, its pouring out of that hole that Clawdius made in ArchAngel at the beginning of the fight! And look at the front wedge of Clawdius, sheared by the lower spinning ring of ArchAngel, but ArchAngel now is about to be pitted by Clawdius - NO! ArchAngel escapes the pit again by rolling off the side of Clawdius! This fight has really taken its toll on our competitors - indeed it has as ArchAngel is not spinning at all, neither of the two spinning rings are mobile! Clawdius, on the other hand, has absolutely no weapon, and is only a wedge now, as he rams ArchAngel and barrels him into the wall. Sir Killalot fidgets a little as Clawdius backs away and rams ArchAngel against the wall again, very near the big Killalots CPZ. It seems that Clawdius is picking up where he once left off and scoops ArchAngel onto his wedge, and again heads for the pit. But Refbot is in the way! Sir Killalot has had enough, it seems, and treads carefully over by Refbot to avoid the pit. Shunt shoots out at the same time, and Clawdius really wants to get away. The Refbot holds up the yellow card. Ooh, boys youd better get back to your CPZs! And now that Refbot has moved backwards, Clawdius can - ah, no, tricky ArchAngel has snuck away again! Irritation is running high in Team Bravehearts control booth as Clawdius chases down ArchAngel and scoops him onto the wedge again!

10...9...

Clawdius turns, with ArchAngel, and goes a little too fast. The result is that both Clawdius and ArchAngel fall into the pit. But since ArchAngel fell in the pit first...

CEASE!

The unholy terror ArchAngel of the Abyss has finally been put to the sword.
CLAWDIUS DECIMUS MURDEROUS ADVANCES TO THE SERIES FINALS!!!!!!!

Heat E
Bloody Tears 2 VS. Aneurysm
Obliteration VS. The Ultimate Wedge
Tails VS. Dante
Biohazard VS. Megabyte

Tactics? Predictions? A pint of lager? :proud:

OBLITERATIONS TACTICS
Spin up straight away, take it nice and easy now, dont lose control, a little bit of rhy...wait, hang on, that didnt come out right. Just spin up and attack.

No prizes for guessing what song Im currently listening to, eh?

P.S. No lager for me. I dont drink.

predictions...

Bloody Tears 2 VS. Aneurysm
Dunno, really, Bloody Tears can take some beating, but Im wondering what his aces will be in actually beating Aneursym, could go either way.

Obliteration VS. The Ultimate Wedge
The Ultimate Wedge, probably. Obliteration is a fine spinner but The Ultimate Wedge is too good a rambot.

Tails VS. Dante
Uhhhm... Dante is hard to take on with a wedge, but he ISNT invertible iirc, and Tails can get some pounding. Tails edges out IMO, slightly

Biohazard VS. Megabyte
Megabyte, Biohazard is old news

I came. I saw. I conquered. I fell in the Pit. :proud:

As for Dante, hopefully, it still doesnt have a srimech. Head for the sides or rear, power under and flip away!

Fraid it does, Steve-O.

Srimech: The tungtsen carbide bars pivot forward on actuators.

Bugger. :lame:

In that case, flip the pest over and batter it with the rear tails before it can right itself or simply pit it. Dantes armouring might be tough, but theres not a lot of it and I at least should have the advantage in pushing power.

TWIST!

Now the Team Gore house robots will be taking the place of the RW house robots! Prepare for your utter destruction!

Next heat, next fights, next time!

Just kidding. :proud:

Bloody Tears 2 is a very complicated Shunt-shaped bot with a pneumatics system powering 4, yes FOUR weapons: a shoving rack underneath its scoop, side-stoppers, a metal plate with teeth, and a rear CO2 flipper. It also has 1cm hardox armour...and good speed? Erm...

Aneurysm is a octagonal-shaped vapour with a front cutting disc, going at 11500rpm, which means it could tear through literally anything. A little overkill, perhaps? However, its wheels, which make it invertible, could be grabbed by crushers/axes.

Roboteers, stand by...

The TG house robots are, starting out in the C&BT, Asterix Heroicus and Obelix Bulguous. The Watcher also replaces Refbot.

All right, were off! Bloody Tears 2 comes out to greet Aneurysm with an Im-going-to-kick-your-ass! air, but first blood is drawn, not from BT2 but from Aneurysm, as one of the side stoppers take a hit and gets smashed in! BT2 swerves away and Aneurysm moves in again, smashing part of the rear, but because of the 1cm hardox armour, it seems to only take a dent. BT2 moves in with the rear and activates the flipper. Aneurysm is flipper up, tilts for a second, and lands right back on top of BT2, who decides to take Aneurysm to the CPZ, where Obelix stands waiting. The hammer comes down, but Aneurysm juts away from the rear just in time and Obelixs hammer hits BT2 instead, making another dent but noticably bigger this time! BT2 gets away and Aneurysm comes at him out of nowhere with the disc up to speed and a shower of sparks results of this as BT2 takes another hit and dent from the blade! BT2 is thrown back into Obelix, and the hammer swings! BANG! And the sounding of the hammer the second time announces the arrival of Asterix, who plows into Aneurysm from the back and Aneuyrsm is slammed high into the air, coming down upside-down! :proud: BT2 gets the rear under Aneurysm and flips. Aneurysm is righted by this and gets away. Perhaps this was a godsend for Andrew Jackson, because BT2 is now taking a monumental beating from the house robots! Suddenly, Aneurysm remembers his loss in the house robot rebellion. How could he just let Asterix get away with that?! Aneurysm turns around in a fiery rage and advances on Asterix, who turns around, sending danger, but the gaul has no time to react because the 11500rpm disc is already in his face!
CRASH!
And this is why I called this the Crash & Burn Tournament! Asterix has crashed and burned out, his front wedge gone, and is now lying on his side near the arena wall! :proud: What a mighty hit! That was certainly revenge, as Aneurysm turns his flywheel on BT2 now, who is now cornered in the CPZ by Obelix, and slams into Tonys bot, scattering sparks and shat like that. Damn it I rhymed. :proud: Well, it looks like BT2 is now immobile and unable...to function at all. Anyway, Aneurysm backs into the pit release button, opening the pit. Obelix has scooped up the dead competitor onto his wedge and dumped him near the pit. Aneurysm tilts Asterix back onto his wheels, and Asterix is mobile again, speeding away from Aneurysm as fast as he can! However, now being inverted, he can now use that other previously inverted wedge to dangerous effect! The Watcher counts BT2 out.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!
And Asterix heads right at Aneurysm, absolutely flat-out, and this cant end well -
CRASH!
Thats the other one gone! Asterix is now without front and rear panels, but the same hit sent Aneurysm flying away - OH BEJESUS! Look at this, Aneurysm lands on his big rear on the arena railing, but the disc hits the floor a split-second after, and catapults Aneurysm way out of the arena! Asterix, despite losing both wedge panels, does a victory spin as Obelix shoves BT2 down the pit and also begins to spin around.

CEASE!

Bloody Tears 2 is bloodied so rare it just wont wash off. :proud:
ANEURYSM ADVANCES TO ROUND 2!

Coming up: Obliteration VS. The Ultimate Wedge

Well now, whats this? Another fight? Could it be?! Yes, it is! :proud:

Obliteration is basically an invertible Phrizbee clone, and we all know how powerful Phrizbee is. And with invertibility? Killer. But being invertible, as always, exposes its wheels from the top.

The Ultimate Wedge is similar to his brother, Knightrous Wedge, but is shaped like Voltronic, uses LEM200s, and has a flipper that can toss well over 500kg. Its also got good pushability and speed.

Roboteers, stand by...

The Team Gore house robots will be Double Big Mac and Double Whamlet. The Watcher sidles into the arena to begin the match.

TUW races out of his spot almost immediately and bores down on Obliteration but the latter merely sidesteps the charge, causing TUW to slam right into the wall! By the time Aaron manages to get his bot off of the wall, Obliteration is very much up to full speed and is coming right at TUW! Aaron laughs at this seemingly dangerous approach and TUW turns right around to face Obliteration, who is very near TUW now. Suddenly TUW backs away from Obliteration and reverses into the arena wall. Before Chris can snicker, TUW guns the motors and rams Obliteration at full speed! The result of this clash causes hardly anything to happen to TUW, but Obliteration is flung like a...er...a Phrizbee across the arena :proud: and goes all gyroscope city, spinning around like crazy, and landing on his back. In comes TUW with the flipper and TOSS!!! WOAH! Obliteration just went flying across the arena, and is now stuck on the arena wall! Uh oh, this isnt good. And TUW confirms my statement by tossing Obliteration right out of the arena - WOAH! Obliteration almost landed right back into the arena! Bouncing twice off the railing, and landing right back outside! I guess it was, as Aaron said, Having to keep your opponent in the arena long enough to have fun, and this wasnt it. :proud: DBM and DW shift mournfully.

CEASE!

Obliteration experiences high tide. :proud:
THE ULTIMATE WEDGE ADVANCES TO ROUND 2!

Coming up: Tails VS. Dante

Its-a me, Mario! Uh...I mean, its-a me, Kody! Err...aw forget it, lets just continue.

Tails is Steven McGregors creation here; its a wedge with a front flipper and some spinning tails in the back to attack opponents with. Hes pretty nimble too. This bot is completely designed after Sonics little buddy, Tails. It wont do well against crushers, though.

And in the blue square...I mean, heres Dante, who has tough armour but not a lot of it. Hes got two oversized wheels, and also he sports a really big, really mean, vertical flywheel. Hes not invertible, and so he uses tungsten carbide bars to self-right.

Roboteers, stand by...

Well well well, the femme fatale housies are here: Taki-san and Tira-san. And The Watcher too, as always.

WOAH! Tails blew out of his spot so fast he mustve broken the sound barrier! :crazy: And Dante isnt fast enough to get out of the way, nor get his flywheel up to speed! WHAM! Oof. Ooh, that hadda hurt. Dante finds himself inverted near the angle grinder, yet Tails didnt use his flipper! This fight is already heating up as Dante rights himself and Tails smashes into him again at mach speed, sending Alexs bot flying into an empty CPZ! House robot attack! Taki-san gets there first and crashes into Dante as fast as Tails. Dante suddenly has a case of the flying sickness and lands inverted again. Tails cuts off a disc attack from Tira-san and tosses Dante about halfway across the arena and follows. He then turns and buries the rear weapon into Dantes backside! Dante is not looking too good, but he rights himself and gets away. Taki and Tira return to their CPZs as Tails comes in for another ram, but mistimed it and misses, almost hitting The Watcher. The Watcher backs away from the scene and Dante comes forward now, finally getting that giant disc up to speed. Suddenly Tails seems cautious and is trying to outmaneouver Dante. Dante isnt fooled and turns to the side, nicking Tails side with that flywheel. Ooh, holy flying metal Batman! Tails left side panel just went flying across the floor! With just a nick! Wait...Nick...forget it. :proud: Anyway, Dante seems to be the one in control as Tails is scurrying away to try and find some way to make this fight go the way he had it before. Dante reverses into the spinner button, activating the spinner in the middle of the floor, but a fat lot of good thatll do. We need a better spinner. :lame: Hey, Dante just drove right over it! Cool. Tails, knowing that this is the perfect chance to strike, strikes. Dante cant turn fast enough and Tails whizzes under the wheel. Dante pops a wheelie and lands on his own disc. The resulting effect of this is Dante throwing himself right into another empty CPZ. Tails again beats the house robots to the punch and slams into Dante, throwing him on top of the wedge. One flick of the flipper, and Dante does a 360 over top of Tails and lands in front of an incoming Taki! WHAM! Poor Dante is taking the worst of this fight so far, but that deadly disc could bring home a victory and bring it home quick. As Tira moves forward, Tails seems to be pondering whether he should let the house robots have the fun, but it seems that he wont, because hes now doing an about face and careening right at Dante. WHAM! Dante is hit but the disc is at full speed and collides with Tiras top armour. OUCH! Tira is now 20 feet seperated from her top armour! Tails activates the flipper and tips Dante onto his back. Dante tries to self-right but Tails is already in his face and tosses him again, sending Dante over the pit and into the pit release, opening the pit - WOAH! Tails made it over the pit before it descended! Now thats quick! :proud: The Watcher is trying extremely hard to restrain Taki from tearing the competitors to pieces. Tails, meanwhile, is having second thoughts about elongating this fight and decides to end it by shoving Dante down the pit. Dante doesnt want to go down the pit and heads for the floor flipper instead, reversing as he does so. Tails chases him down but not so fast that hell be caught off-guard by a disc attack. Taki and Tira again return to their CPZs, but Tails goes right into Takis CPZ and - O_O what the?! Tails just danced around Taki completely! Visions of Onslaught riding around Matilda just sprang through my mind...anyway Dante is ready with the disc, and now Tails is caught between the disc and a really pi$$ed off house robot. Dante advances, and Tails activates the flipper. WHOA! Taki advanced, sticking the wedge under Tails spinning tails, and Dante hit Tails at that exact moment! Dante goes flying away, to fight another day, and Tails is bolted upwards, and comes down on that electric wedge. Tira races over to get revenge on Dante, but Dante is away and Tails escapes Taki and were back to the fight, or whats left of it. Tails approaches Dante, who has the disc up to speed again, and reverses to the left to avoid a charge, and then rams Dante from the side. Somehow, I dont think the flipper is working! OH DEAR! The disc on Dantes is slowing down, and now it has stopped! Not good! And now Dante is riding around Tails, doing the deadly tango with his opponent, and very near the flame pit.

Tails gets away and Dante spins around to expose the rear.

TAILS ADVANCES TO ROUND 2!

Coming up: Biohazard VS. Megabyte

Looks like repairs are in order, Steve...

Well I think its time to finish up the Heat E bracket really quick since tactics are in already. Vengeance match time!

You all already know Biohazard. If you dont, youve had your head up your arse for too long. :proud: For those that have, Biohazard is a long, wide, LOW box with titanium skirts and a unique lifting arm. However, hes not invertible, and his arm does not right him. Will he get revenge?

Megabyte is a Ziggo-shaped bot with spikes all over and a flag, like Ziggo. However, hes coloured orange. However, hes got no srimech. He beat Bio before, can he do it again?

Roboteers, stand by...

Ancalagon the Black and Exa-Gore-Ic: AI wait in their CPZs.

Its Biohazard who makes the first move, trying to get over to Megabyte before that shell gets up to speed. It seems that that didnt work, because hes now backing away. The camera does a close-up of the Megabytes spinning shell. There is no doubt that it is spinning at full speed. Biohazard turns around and backs into Megabyte.
CRASH!
Sparks fly, but no dead robots yet. And Biohazard seems to have taken little-to-no damage from that hit! Megabyte goes all gyroscopic and lands right-side-up in the middle of the arena. The shell is not spinning...Biohazard backs into him again and pushes him against the wall. Megabyte slides off the titanium box and gets away. The shell starts to spin again, and this doesnt look too good for Biohazard. Biohazard decides to bore at him again, this time from the front.
CRASH!!!
+1>AAAAHHHHH!!! Excuse me, Im speechless and I have to go away for a sec before I can speak...okay, let me explain what just happened. Biohazard approached Megabyte from the front. There is a major-bot collision, and both robots go flying. Most importantly, Biohazards arm is lying on top of the pit. Biohazard himself is in Exa-Gore-Ics CPZ, completely immobile, and Megabyte is upside-down, perched on his flag, spinning on the spot, very slowly. Not only that, but Biohazards front armour is completely mangled by that hit. Holy flying everything! Since Exa-Gore-Ic cant grab a robot like that, Ancalagon comes over and mangles up Biohazard some more. SMASH! Biohazard suddenly is on his back and SMASH! back on his dead feet! ¡Ay carumba! Well, since Biohazard is on his dead feet, and Megabyte is in a position but can still move if placed on his wheels, The Watcher comes over and starts counting Biohazard out.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!

CEASE!

Biohazard is reduced to toxic waste.
