Sorry Sam, you have to say in your stats if you want an extension
Okay then... =P
Stay in the middle of the arena. As usual, that armour doesnt look too strong, so Ill use the disc more. If Killobyte even tries to attack the front, Ill be ready with my flipper...

SMASH!!
And we€™re off! Both robots showed off good driving techniques and weaponry in round 1, and the seeded Killobite seems to be the more aggressive at the start of this bout, dodging the front flipper of Black Death and getting those forks under the side, clamping down with the crushing beak and lifting it into the air! Samuel is really caught between a rock and a hard place and fires his flipper desperately, but to no avail! Killobite hits the pit release button, but the impact loosens his grip on Revenge of Black Death and it escapes across the coliseum before turning to meet the oncoming attack from Killobite and Samuel swings his spinning disc into the side of Killobite, although sadly for him the weak armour of Killobite isn€™t even touched as the external steel bar chassis deflects the blow! Killobite drives forward to attack, but Revenge of Black Death manages to sneak its flipper underneath the space to the right of Killobite€™s forks and with a snort of carbon dioxide Killobite is up and over onto its back! But it does have that srimech built into the rear and the seed is back onto its wheels quickly, however Revenge of Black Death has spun up that disc again and smacks it into the side of Killobite 5.0, and this time one of the blades just manages to catch the armour behind the chassis and there€™s a fairly sized gash there now! But Killobite€™s internal workings seem to be in perfect order and Kody drives in under the rear of Revenge of Black Death and lifts it up, bring the crusher down onto the disc and biting down hard to stop it spinning! But this grip isn€™t as strong as the last one and Revenge of Black Death only has to fire its flipper to get away safely. Killobite quickly follows and meets the front wedge of Black Death head on, his forks getting in underneath Black Death€™s flipper and lifting it up so that the spinning disc hits the floor and rips out a chunk of it! This does however momentarily stall the disc and Kody brings the crusher down on Black Death€™s front flipper, which is fired in an attempt to free itself, but the claw is too strong and holds the flipper down for Kody to keep Revenge of Black Death in the air before turning around and heading for the pit, where it slowly drops Samuel€™s spinner/flipper combo before suddenly letting go as it disappears in a puff of smoke for the seed to go through to the heat final!
CEASE!
Revenge of Black Death is not avenged and dies; Killobite 5.0 (10) goes through to the heat final!
Exertion v E Clawdius Unum
Heat Semi-Final 2

SMASH!!
Both of these robots have successful histories behind them, with Clawdius Decimus Murderous having won FAR8 and finished runner-up in the Crash and Burn Tournament, while the predecessors of Exertion were the Forcepower Turbo robots, with some of them packing more than 100HP into the drive. But Exertion is a toned down version of that machine, mainly for greater control and Andy demonstrates this now, using his 4 wheel drive to steer around Clawdius and attack the side, getting in underneath with that magmotor driven scoop and tipping E Clawdius Unum onto its side! However, Clawdius has those side linear actuated arms and easily rights itself before coming round on an attack of its own, getting in underneath the side ground clearance of Exertion and bring that powerful claw into play, biting down on Exertion€™s top armour, which holds up surprisingly well. With Andy stuck on the barbs and under the crusher Steven heads for the pit release button, but when he gets there the impact of hitting the release siren frees Exertion, which speeds away and turns to meet the oncoming attack from the veteran robot! However Andy uses those four magmotor driven wheels to avoid the front of E Clawdius Unum and slip that invertible scoop under the side of the successful crushing robot again, this time hoisting it into the air before going on an all out slam to the side of the arena, and it hit the wall at such a speed that Clawdius tumbles up and over from the impact and lands on its back, self-righting only to find itself on top of Exertion again, and this time Andy is driving towards the killsaws! BZZT! He dumps the FAR8 champion onto the saws and reverses away to await Steven€™s next move, and the moment Clawdius is out of that corner he comes speeding at Exertion, using the flat spears at the front of the robot to get in underneath the front scoop of Exertion and get Andy€™s well-known rammer onto the barbs again, and when Steven brings the crusher down this time he gets the front left wheel, biting down into the tyre as he drives across the arena to the pit! The crowd chant PIT repeatedly and Andy raises and lowers his scoop again and again to try and escape, but it€™s no use and before he knows it he€™s suspended in mid air right over the chasm which will almost certainly be the cause of Exertion€™s exit from this season of Robot SMASH!! . And sure enough E Clawdius Unum slowly delivers his unlucky opponent to the depths of the pit with a triumphant puff of smoke from the arena that signals yet another competitor has been pitted and therefore eliminated.
CEASE!
Exertion has exerted all its energy; E Clawdius Unum moves onto the heat final to meet Killobite 5.0 (10)!
Hah, looks like we get our rematch, Steve. Lets make it a goodun. :proud:
Killobite 5.0 (10) vs. E Clawdius Unum
Right, last time I won by flipping him over and crushing in before he could self-right. It shouldnt be too hard to implement the same plan again, but if I can, Ill see if I can break the srimechs off too. Get to the sides using my manoeuvrability advantage, flip, then clamp ahold (those wheels look tasty too so go after them if I flip him :proud:). Doubt Ill sink into that 4mm Hardox armour, but the main thing is to pit it. We both have the same speed and power, so this should be interesting. Hopefully the chassis should stand up well to Clawdius own crusher again. :)

Heat L Final
Killobite 5.0 (10) v E Clawdius Unum
In round 1 Killobite 5.0 teamed up with Paramagnetic LOX Box in order to eliminate Clawdius, but the roman emperor grappled with the LOX Box and so went through along with the seed.
In round 2 Killobite 5.0 lifted, grappled and pitted Revenge of Black Death.
Meanwhile E Clawdius Unum had a tough match with Exertion, receiving some damage, but eventually dealing out another pitting.
Ladies and Gentlemen...
Killobite 5.0 (10)
E Clawdius Unum
And so the rematch, let€™s look back at last season€™s round 1 face-off:
Eliminator 16/32:
E Clawdius Unum v Killobite 5.0
Formerly Clawdius Decimus Murderous, Stevens powerful crushing machine finished 3rd in The Easter Bunny Tribute Championships 2008. Now its back, and up against a fellow crusher in the first round!
Killobite 5.0 is another Razer-esque machine, but this design also incorporates some front lifting forks, like we saw on the Heat C winner Nidhogg.
Booth 1: Steven McGregor
Booth 2: Kody Kunz
5,4,3,2,1, SMASH!!
Both bots get off to a flying start, Killobite trying to get around the sides of Clawdius while Steven tries to make an advantage of Kodys weak armouring. The first vapourboteer to get in an onslaught is Steven, powering Clawdius into the side of Killobite 5.0 and attempting to crush into the chassis! But Kody pulls around and manages to get his forks under Clawdius side skirt! Kody lifts Steven up and over, then drives underneath and clamps down on top with his powerful claw, stopping Clawdius getting his srimech into play! The crusher makes a shallow indent in the armour, and Kody takes Steven into the pit release tyre! This should be a walk in the park for Killobite now- it has the struggling Clawdius in its arms and the srimech is doing nothing, but just as they approach the pit Steven falls off the crusher! He quickly self-rights, but Kody was ready and flips him over again before shoving him into the chasm!
ITS OVER ALREADY!
Killobite 5.0 wins the battle of the crushers and goes onto the heat semi-finals!
Roboteers, standby!

SMASH!!
And for the third time since the beginning of Robot SMASH!! Killobite 5.0 and E Clawdius Unum start a battle together, and unlike last time only one can survive. Killobite is the seeded robot and the winner of this battle last time around, so it is probably the favourite to head on to the series semi-finals. Kody has to win the battle before he can though, and getting out driven by Steven at the beginning of the match probably wasn€™t on his priorities list and before he knows it Kody€™s armour has been penetrated by the powerful crusher of Clawdius, which has surprisingly managed to get in through part of the external chassis. The weak armour doesn€™t hold up and Clawdius digs in tight before slamming into the pit release button. However the impact let€™s Killobite get away and Kody drives around before getting under the side of Clawdius, and although he presses the button for the forks nothing happens. It seems the electrics for the workings may have been damaged so Kody only has his crusher now, but boy does he plan to use it. It doesn€™t penetrate the hardox armour of E Clawdius Unum, but he has a hold and drives towards the pit, only for Clawdius to use his side linear actuated arms to pull himself free from the seed€™s grasp and drive away to the middle of the arena. Killobite 5.0 pursues, but once again Clawdius gets the better of him and drives in underneath he side, biting down with the crusher only to be stopped by one of the external bars of Killobite 5.0. Kody escapes and comes around again, once more getting under the side of Steven€™s wedge shaped robot with the now static forks and bringing the crusher into play, crunching down on the side arm and breaking it! Not only that, but Killobite now has a masterful grip and triumphantly heads for the pit of more-oblivion-than-the-one-in-robot-wars! The crowd count down the seconds to the end and a puff of smoke signals the fact that E Clawdius Unum has fallen at the hands of Killobite 5.0 for a second time and the tenth seed moves onto the series semi-finals!
CEASE!
E Clawdius Unum is executed; Killobite 5.0 lives to bite another day!
Coming Next, Heat M:
Razer (8) v Weapon Synergy v Holepunch
Black Panther v Blue Sparks v D.V.D: The Sequel
w00t! :proud: awesomeness Liam, and Im not just saying that because I won :proud:
Razer (8) v Weapon Synergy v Holepunch
You know, I think Razer could go out here...Holepunch is going through, I know that. :proud:
Black Panther v Blue Sparks v D.V.D: The Sequel
D.V.D. out
Awesomeness to Liam for writing a great battle, and congrats for Kody in taking out the same powerful crusher in that battle :proud:
Razer (8) v Weapon Synergy v Holepunch
I agree with Kody on this battle - Holepunch is deffo through, but Razer may have a tough ride.
Black Panther v Blue Sparks v D.V.D: The Sequel
I disagree with Kody on this battle :proud: I propose a team-up with Blue Sparks, and with the combined force of my drum and his disc that we rip up Black Panther. Attack Black Panther from the rear-right corners to get under and hit him with the drum until I kill him.
PAUL!
Alex sez
In that case I shall leave my comment as Well, as you are apparently going for me, I intend to go for you Paul and beat DVD into a thin metallic paste lol
And now Alex is cheesed off with me from taking words out of his mouth :proud:
