The 5th Place Annihilator
Round 2
Clawdius Decimus Murderous vs Flank Attack
3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ Activate!
Well what do ya know, we have a clash of the crushers right here. Clawdius and Flank Attack have both proven their worth throughout the tournament, but only one can claim 5th place, who will it be? Alex seems a bit more eager and gets his machine going. Flank Attack rushes towards Clawdius and actually, the claws seem to surround the Roman warrior! Steve isn€™t too pleased and turns around, but Flank Attacks flanks are already moving in. Due to Clawdius turning around though, one of the claws goes over the wedge, which isn€™t a good place to get a grip in. Clawdius moves forward causing Flank Attack to lose his grip on him completely. Clawdius makes a 360 to face the TAN look-alike with its mighty beak. Flanky goes in full reverse. Steve doesn€™t even bother giving chase, he knows bloody well he can€™t outspeed Flank Attack, and he has plans of his own. The pit-release button is targeted by Clawdius, and no matter how had the button tries, he can€™t do anything when Clawdius rams it head on€¦
PRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUUT!!!
Flank Attack might have had a chance in intercepting Clawdius before it reached the bit, but oddly enough, Alex doesn€™t care much. He seems to fancy a quick pitting as well as Steve. Flank Attack now drives towards Clawdius, while Clawdius steers its way to the pit. CLANG! The two bots collide! Clawdius aims his claw and the spears penetrate Flank Attack€™s bottom! Flank Attack steers all it wants, and even though his claws do face Clawdius, the latter is lowering his claw right now. Down it comes, straight on top of Flank€™s body, denting it quite a bit. Things aren€™t looking too well for Alex when Steve moves towards the pit. In a last-ditch effort, Flank Attack€™s claws come together to grab Clawdius€™ claw, which is right within its reach. Clawdius arrives at the edge of the big hole, and raises the claw to let Flank Attack go down€¦
WHAT! Flank Attack isn€™t going down at all, in fact, he€™s moving up! Flanky€™s grip on Clawdius beak explains this, but it remains an odd sight! Steve lowers the claw again, denting Flank Attack further. €œNow what?€ Steve thinks, €œthe walls are looking hungry€Â. Clawdius builds up some momentum and€¦ CLANG! Flank Attack is slammed against the wall! The grip seems to have loosened, and Steve fancies his chances again. What Steve forgets though, is that his own grip on Flank Attack loosened too. When Clawdius turns around the rotational force is enough to free Flank Attack. Clawdius wants his grip back, but so does Flank Attack. The two machines dance around each other, but watching both machines move it becomes very clear Flank Attack is the more agile of the two. A quick burst of acceleration and a lot of wheel spin, Flank Attack gets around the back of Clawdius and grabs hold! And what a hold this is, Clawdius back wheels off the ground due to Flanky€™s scoop! The odds have changed, and Alex doesn€™t want to see them change any further. His engines prove powerful enough to steer Clawdius in a straight line to the pit! Bad news for Clawdius! Now above the pit! The claws loosen their grip! Clawdius falls down!

And now, the final lineups
Disco 5 vs Psyclonised
ff6000>Black Panther Queen vs Wedge Devolution
Gimme your predictions, gimme your tactics, gimme your thoughts :proud:
Meh, I could come up with a number of excuses why Clawdius should have won, but Im too lazy to list them anyway.
Well done Alex, and well done Flank Attack. You deserved that victory.
HAPPY?! =P (j/k)
Now then, predictions. HOLY CRAP! What a final line-up!
Disco 5 vs. Psyclonized
If Disco 5 can get the wedge under, then its all over for Psyclonized, but Im not seeing it.
Black Panther Queen vs. Wedge Devolution
Alex Holt and Steve McGregor meet again. :proud: Wedge Devo has the lower wedge, so Im inclined to go for Wedge Devo here. But with BPQs axe blows, BPQ might be able to dent and lift the wedge/flipper up enough to slide under it. Still going to go for Wedge Devo here.
Cant wait for the battles. Im going to go get some popcorn. :proud:
FINALS
SEMI-FINALS
1) Disco 5 VS Psyclonized
An very interesting match-up, but I think Psyclonized may be just the more powerful here.
2) Black Panther Queen VS WEDGE DEVOLUTION
The Panthers a tough old tank, but I think Ive got a plan. If I ram the skirts hard enough at the corners, I should be able to slip underneath and flip to my hearts content. I also have the superior pushing power, so I should be quite able to outpush him towards the Pit or the arena wall. Oh and watch for that weapons combo. That axe looks a right pain.
Disco 5 (me) VS Psyclonized
I new this design was going to come back and bite me.
Erm, go in with the disc spinning and just keep attacking it, even if the disc should be damaged just keep attacking it and being aggressive, although this probably wont damage the bars/hammers/cage it should slow it down enough for me to spin round and slip under with the wedge and either flip it into the pit or up against the side wall, if i get it against the side wall turn and attack it with the disc.
Woot 5th place :D
Im happy now, Kody :P
BPQ could win it, so could Wedge Devo. My moneys on whoever wins the fight between them.
Psyclonized v Wedge Devo I think will be the final.
Well, Tim, Wedge Devo and Psyclonized met before, I believe. :proud: Wedge Devo won that time (btw, Psyclonized was really his former form, Psyclonic). But if it comes to that, then I`ll go for Psyclonized, as the sides of wedges are really tasty for h-spinners, and FBSs.
Not a bad prediction Tim. :proud: (which is a rarity)
