Eye Of The Robot - Series 1

Im now going to do the final 6 battles, to try and quickly round off.

We know who the robots are, so let view their progress.

Y4 was entered by Christopher Mason, who was the underdog of the heat it was in - Heat A. In the first round it met the famous Wedge Devolution and potentially lethal Flipping Hell. Chris used super planning and precision to get a good flip on Flipping Hell. Flipping Hell easily self-righted, but broke its drive chains in the process. Y4 shocked the audience when it was flipped and pushed around by Achilles, but then wedged against the side wall before performing an OOTA. A similar situation in the heat final with Wedge Devolution and then an OOTA. No shock in the semis where it flicked Bulldog Breed about, and then an OOTA.

Storm 2, entered by Ed Hoppit is the most successful real robot still left fighting, with the New Blood and 3rd World Championship under its belt, but it also came second in the 7th UK championship (Even though it was robbed). In a ram-fested Round One, it was Storm 2, ForcePower Turbo and Shovearound 2! Storm 2 had enough aggression and strategy to win through with Shovearound, on a 38-25-13! Clawdius Decimus Murderous had sustained too much damage from Round One and was easily pitted. In the heat final Leprosy Infection caused serious damage to Storm 2, but Storm used aggressive tactics to win the 38-37 decision. Typhoon 2 robbed Storm in Robot Wars 7, the Storm got revenge when it tipped over Typhoon and left it on its side to show everyone the risk of a non-existent self-righter!

Entered by John Reid, Terrorhurtz is a robot with thick Lexan and Steel armour, 16mph top speed from two motors, but most of all, an axe with a thick steel head, hitting with 900kg of force! In Round One, the said power of the axe proved even better than the result sheet, as it wrecked The Axe Attaxe and Axe-O-Lotl. It pitted Axe-O-Lotl and went through with The Axe Attaxe, before destroying Hell Machine and The Axe Attaxe again in the other heat rounds. Then an enormous surprise when Whirligig 4.0 sliced at it, chopping up the armour of Terrorhurtz, before Terrorhurtz hooked it onto the sidewall and then pounded the shuffling pads. Terrorhurtz survived and went through.

Christopher, Ed and John take up their control posts, before entering their Booths and waving to the crowd.
Roboteers, stand by!!

They observe the chequered flag. And they watch it change both red to yellow to green.

The robots are pushed into full throttle, with Storm 2 pulling away quickest. Storm 2 dodged between Terrorhurtz and Y4, and allowing Terrorhurtz to clamp down with the axe and pound it more. Y4 flips the lethal axing robot away, and turns into Storm 2. Having slightly the lower front edge, Y4 throws Storm onto his back. Terrorhurtz comes in to bury the axe into the bottom of the scoop of Storm 2 - this was a bad move though, because Storm 2 has the more grip and the more traction to drive Terrorhurtz back into the arena wall. The power of the slam was enough to bring the axe back up and brake loose. Storm 2 has righted from it, and charges into the front of Y4 again, however this time Storm uses the power drive tactic of driving forward then stooping to drive your wedge further into the ground. Chris hasn€™t seen around this tactic, and flips too late and Y4 ends up upended, Storm 2 pushes it slowly towards the pit, positions it on top, releases it, and then shoves it down into the abyss, ending Chris€™ dream. With the three way battle own turned into a one-on-one, Terrorhurtz now plans to get through, and excitedly shoves at its 16mph top speed and pounds the Titanium top of Storm 2. Storm 2 reverses away from the axe, and then powers underneath Terrorhurtz€™s front, and uses the lifting arm to flip it over. Storm 2 now drives the inverted Terrorhurtz towards the sidewall. Speed gaining up, and then a clash and a crash of sparks. Terrorhurtz flies upwards and flips Terrorhurtz up and over the wall. Storm 2 reverses into the centre of the arena and spins in Victory!

Result:
Y4 is ex-ter-min-8-ed!
Terrorhurtz feels the Hurtz!
Storm 2 goes through to the GRAND FINAL!!

Killotine: EVO VS Crusher C.U VS Black Panther Queen

Killotine: EVO is entered by Steven McGregor is a powerful Storm 2 like box armoured in Hardox and armed with an axe. In the heat it has pounded Obliteration, Drilla Killa 7 and Tornado, all via KO. In the next Round it took on Agro 3.5, and got pushed about and battered but pushed and battered it and finally took on Agro to the pit.

Entered by Michael Cuomo is Crusher C.U, one of the most dominating robots so far. In its heat, once Flaming Hell€™s cage was shattered, Crusher persisted in clawing it until Dave tapped out. Psyclonised is a demonic contraption, and very deadly, but Crusher got around the framework and crushed and pitted it before doing the same to Orka in the heat final and Flux in the semis.

Entered by Alex Holt is Black Panther Queen. The black panther royal ruler started poorly, when it buried the axe into The Nose 3.0, but then PPC tossed it out the ring just after cease was called. It redeemed itself in the rest of the heat by OOTAing No Close Shave and then getting revenge on PCC. In the semis, in one of the best battle I€™ve ever written took place between Black Panther Queen and SNDOS, where Black Panther Queen took some damage and did some flipping and axing, so it was close before the panther pitted SNDOS.

Once again, Steven, Michael and Alex walk up to their control Booths, wave as the crowed cheer on their favourites and jeer at their least favourites

Roboteers, stand by!!!

3€¦the chequered flag turns red...2€¦now yellow€¦3€¦now GREEN!!...activate!!!

The final knockout battle begins, and BPQ charges up to Crusher, getting the flipper spatula underneath and turning it upside down. Killotine now batters in and hammers onto the underside of Crusher. Black Panther Queen joints in on the attack, possibly in a gang-up style. Crusher tires to reverse away, but he is quickly pushed and shoved into the arena wall. Black Panther Queen locks onto Crusher with the axe, but Killotine: EVO gets under the rear and all the wheels off the ground, axing the shell, and dragging the joint over to the pit, pressing the button, and dropping the joint in!

Result:
Crusher C.U stands for Crusher Completely Useless!
Black Panther Queen is dethroned
Killotine: EVO goes through to the GRAND FINAL!!

Everyone flies off, and all the robots charge into Crusher C.U! Y4 gets underneath and sends it OOTA! Michael puts his head in his hands as he gets 6th place! Now it€™s a battle down to three robots, and Terrorhurtz thrusts into the side of Black Panther Queen. Immediately the axe starts pounding through the shell, damage being caused all the time. Y4 sneaks around Terrorhurtz€™s rear, and flicks it over the top of the Panther. Y4, arguably the most impressive machine in the playoff comes in again for another ram onto the Panther, and Terrorhurtz strikes an axe-blow onto Y4€™s tyres, leaving bobbling slightly. Terrorhurtz hits the pit button, and shoves the Panther towards it. Alex sees his machine isn€™t moving, and lowers the controls. Y4 suddenly charges in and flips Terrorhurtz over the Panther, AND DOWN THE PIT!! And then, it does what Terrorhurtz planned on doing, and pits the Panther.

Result:
Crusher C.U OOTAed into 6TH place!
Terrorhurtz pitted and claims 5TH place!
Black Panther Queen pounded and pitted into 4TH place!
BUT€¦
Y4 and Chris Mason get 3RD place!!!

Congrats to everyone who took part, but next will be the show-stopper!

The two great machines burst into life! Storm 2 has the greater speed, and smashes into the front of Killotine, ramming it back to the starting square and sending a series of sparks flying. It then drives onto its opponent€™s sides, and then starts to torque the wheels, and driving Killotine into the sidewall. Now it€™s around the rear of it and drives it into the wall again, as Steve mops his brow - he€™s struggling to get into a position to do anything to Storm 2, at the final stage. Storm 2 powers again, but Killotine now gets underneath the front, and starts to beat with the axe, and is piercing the shell. Steve locks onto Storm 2 and drives it into the pit release switch, and lets it go to back off. Storm 2 pursues it towards the side, as Killotine reverses. Killotine hits the wall as Storm 2 breaks the skirting, and lifts up with the lifting arm, and drives it into the side. Storm 2 uses the arm to turn Killotine: EVO upside down, and brace it on the arm. Storm 2 drives it towards the pit, but the axe of Killotine pushes itself up with the axe and speeds off. It ends up side on to Storm 2, and powers forwards, getting under and then axing it. Killotine starts to axe Storm 2 in the lifting arm, leaving it disabled. The axe is withdrawn, but then quickly shifts to get on the front left side, and axes in the drive train housing, and hits a drive chain!! Killotine reverses away from Storm 2, watching it spin on the spot. The audience is given the cue to count down!
+2>10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...cease}
Steven puts Killotine: EVO into spin mode and hammers the floor, flipping itself over in a celebratory dance. It now gets behind Storm 2 and shoves it towards the pit. And down falls Storm!

Result:
Storm 2 is executed at the Killotine!!
