HEAT 4: Atomic to outlast Wild Thing whilst the other four rather shoddy robots are done in.
HEAT 5: Sir Chromalot to simply outlast the others, as unreliable as they are.
HEAT 6: Depends if Spawn Again breaks down or not. If it doesnt, them. If it does, Bulldog Breed
HEAT 7: Dantomkia, no questions asked.

Heat 1: Supernova - sheer destructability, wouldve said Firestorm but Hypnodisc immoblilised them with one hit so Supernova could do the same.
Heat 2: Ripper - with the flipper. Gravity would be my other choice but I see Ripper getting a lucky shot on it.
Heat 3: Thermidor 2 - always liked this machine, especially after it tossed Behemoth and Stinger OOTA in the same match.
Heat 4: Wild Thing - has the experience and ability to win whilst causing some damage.
Heat 5: Behemoth - again has experience on their side and their machine is perfectly capable of winning the melee.
Heat 6: Bulldog Breed - Great robot, able to toss the others around. Was going to go for Lightning but personally I dont think their flipper design is as effective as BBs.
Heat 7: Mighty Mouse - small and nippy, able to dart around everyone else and be flipped but keep going.
Heat 8: Terrorhurtz - wouldve went for Cassius II since I like that machine but I dont see its polycarb armour withstanding Terrorhurtz axe for any length of time.
Before I post predictions, is it safe to assume that all robots are the latest versions?
Heat 1: Firestorm
Heat 2: Gravity
Heat 3: Kronic (if it€™s the most up to date one - if not then Bigger Brother)
Heat 4: Atomic (again, if it€™s the S7 one - if not then WBC)
Heat 5: Behemoth
Heat 6: Bulldog Breed
Heat 7: Dantomkia
Heat 8: Terrorhurtz
Jamie, they cant carry one when they are OOTA. Been there, done that.
Mike
True - but Im basing it on the hope that it can avoid the flippers long enough so that it doesnt get sent OOTA :) If it does get thrown OOTA then it can chase the crew around and add comedy value :P
