The Legends, Act 3, Scene 1
Welcome to act 3 of the extended 6 act tournament. Hey everybody who be reading this, my name is Trevor McDonald and on tonight with Trevor McDonald, 4 people will lose, and 4 people will move into the final, and now we go to the arena for the fighting.
FIGHT 1
The Box Again & PowerPoint Jr. Sr. vs. Novastorm & Flu-Bot the 2nd.
In the red side, PowerPoint Jr. Sr. Entered by Matt, who sadly can€™t be with us tonight, so Andy has cloned himself, to drive this 2 wheel drive light robot with front lifting forks. It is reliable, but the rubbish weapon power and low speed could be it€™s downfall against spinners. Out in the arena for team red, is The Box Again, it returns again. This time it is armed with lovely weapons and with good control to master the force young-on. However low weapon power and speed could find life hard going against a speedy flipper.
In the blue side, lies Flu-Bot the 2nd. Entered by Chris, with it€™s duel flipping arms at high power, robots could be flying tonight. However it is 4 wheel drive, but the speed and control are a tad low, so it will need luck to get the flippers into play, could self-righting be a problem if it lands near a wall? In the arena today, we have Novastorm, entered by Tony, who hopes to continue his winning ways with another 10 points. It is the fastest robot in the arena today, hence why the torque is so low. In addition, the bar might cause problems with reliability.
The house robots for the fight are:
Shunt and Matilda

Novastorm starts to spin it€™s bar up to speed, as Tony starts to move away from charging Box, as Tony presses the button, he moves sideways, as Andy misses the target before he can get his pointless and powerless drum into play, as Novastorm attacks by driving into The Box Returns with the bar at full speed. Both robots are sent spinning away, a lovely cut in the armour of The Box Returns is spotted, as the tag team rule has been broken, and PowerPoint breaks into the arena. With that Flu-Bot the 2nd comes into play, and chaos breaks loose, as Novastorm drives into PowerPoint and runs before either of the two Andy€™s can attack.
Chris is waiting by the sidelines, as Novastorm hits into The Box Returns, spinning it out of control, as Flu-Bot the 2nd gets underneath the robot and both flippers fire at once, sending The Box Returns into orbit and out of the arena. PowerPoint is looking to attack with it€™s lifting forks€¦ wait what lifting forks?
The lifting forks have been ripped off by Novastorm, as Flu-Bot the 2nd rams into PowerPoint and flips it over, landing onto the pit release. Flu-Bot the 2nd goes forward, as Novastorm reverses back into the tag team and tags, as order is restored, as Flu-Bot the 2nd gets underneath PowerPoint, which wheels are spinning and before the clock can tick...
Boom, boom, boom, boom, *Eastenders Theme plays in background*
Fight 2
Fooled ya, didn€™t I, as we return to the fight, as Flu-Bot the 2nd has gotten underneath PowerPoint and has flipped it over the fence and into the camera tracks.
Cease
The Box Returns and PowerPoint flipped high and dry by Flu-Bot the 2nd, as it goes into the final with Novastorm.
Fight 2
Yep, it€™s that time again:
SD IV & RIGGED vs. The Catus & Ratel
In the blue area, sits MRW4 champion, SD IV. We all know and love it, except for Mr Wheel. It has a lethal saw at the bottom, but the pushing power might be one of the best, the speed and control are bad, so could SD IV go out of control, go mad, and be sent to Weyhill? In the arena for team Aussie-Scot is rigged, named because Tom thinks he can win this, with his ultimate machine, it looks like the act 1 winner with it€™s biohazard style lifter, tough skirts, however the speed is rubbish and the torque could be better, so could Rigged by left in the dust?
In the red area, sits The Catus, the most reliable machine ever, with it€™s grabbing claw and 4 wheel drive chassis. However once flipped it€™s weapon is near useless and the speed isn€™t the best in the world either. Out of the box for team €œEvil Genus + Mad Scottish One€ is Ratel, armoured to the death, but with 10 kg wasted on a bottom of the range spinning drum with less power than Tony Blair. The speed is 2nd to bottom, which means it€™s the joint fastest in this fight, so will Ratel do the work?

ACTIVE
Rigged starts to move forward, as Ratel also moves forward with all the speed of a snail, as Ratel€™s drum is at full speed, which isn€™t that fast, as Rigged comes €˜smashing€™ into the action and flips Ratel over onto it€™s back, as Alex reverses, tagging The Catus, as Martyn moves forward to try to attack Rigged, but Tom has tagged Steve to allow SD IV to come out with it€™s damaging weapon which isn€™t that damaging, as The Catus comes across the arena.
Steve has the slight speed advantage, but can€™t use it, as Martyn can turn quicker with his better control, as both robots finally meet, head-on. Sparks fly as the disc meets the lovely titanium of The Catus, as Martyn brings the claw down, and clamps down SD IV into it€™s evil hold, but no-damage is caused, as the front wheels of SD IV have been lifted off from the ground with the under-cutter, as the saw isn€™t moving, as The Catus turns around to take SD IV towards the pit release.
The rules once more have been broken, as Rigged comes out of the square and starts to €˜jog€™ towards the duel. Ratel doesn€™t want to be missing out on the fun, as Alex comes away and drives towards the party, as the pit is opened, as Rigged gets underneath the rear of The Catus and flips it up and onto SD IV, as Ratel comes in and rams into the rear of Rigged, and pushes it forward into the mix, and in the confusion the lifter fires, sending The Catus out of the arena, along with SD IV. All of a sudden the arena feels empty, as Rigged turns around, getting the flipper underneath Ratel and lifts it up with control and dumps it and it€™s hopes 6 feet under in a pot of smoking pie.
Cease
Ratel is left to wipe the pie out of it€™s face, as The Catus goes flying along with SD IV. But it€™s Rigged and SD IV who take the final by storm and move into the final.
Act 3, Scene 2
Rigged & SD IV vs. Novastorm & Flu-Bot the 2nd.
Tactics, Predictions, Parachutes?
...Bugger.
Well, PRAY TO GOD SD IV IS OUT FIRST. Ill be going out first, but if RIGGED is out first, immeditly Tag in chris, as itll be a better match up. Once (IF) chris gets RIGGED OOTA, his work is done. Ill basically just slam SDIV all over the place and eventually pit it, again, driving in small bursts of speed which hurts my aceelration, but gives me better control. If SD IV is out first, do the same as above, really rape it so it cant get a chance to tag in tom. If RIGGED is out first though and Chris gets KOd, PRAY TO GOD I can get under his sides and pit him. As usual, drive in small bursts of speed while im trying to pit him. IF I cant get under him, then you got me yet again, tom.
How is he going to get me out of the arena? *puzzled look* Good luck getting under my sides with the top-defence thickness...
Hey Steve, want to let me handle this one? :rofl: I promise I wont flip you OOTA again!
Tom goes for Novastorm. I go for Flu-Bots sides and try munching on those wheels before attempting to shove it doon the Pit.
Sounds rather fair :proud:
How is he going to get me out of the arena? *puzzled look* Good luck getting under my sides with the top-defence thickness...
Well, even if theres a %0.00000000001 chance of it happening, its still a chance. Not like hed get under you easily, just that its extremley rare, but possible.
Tom, I have a wedge. A nice wedge to get underneath.
Chris: I have 4 wedges. And top armour.
Cop THAT! :rofl:
*Totally confused as to what armour has to do with getting underneath another bot*
*is with chris*
i know what tom is on about
1234th post, how rare
How rare indeed Mr Martyn.

Final€™s time once more, as another 20 points is up for grabs in the tag team terror final
Novastorm & Flu-Bot the 2nd vs. Rigged & SD IV
In the red zone, we have Novastorm, which is waiting, as Chris€™ machine is out in the starting block. In the blue zone, we have SD IV again, with Rigged in the starting block with it€™s lifting arm.
The house robots today, we have No Hope from the AWTAS arena, and Matilda.

And both robots are off€¦
€¦really, they are€¦
€¦come on this is getting stupid and your right, as finally the two robots meet after 20 seconds of top speed action from Rigged and Flu-Bot the 2nd, as both robots meet head-first and Flu-Bot the 2nd gets under€¦
€¦what, I€™m joking right, Rigged gets underneath Flu-Bot the 2nd, because the front wedge is lower than Flu-Bot the 2nd€™s, and the arm goes up, lifting up Flu-Bot. Chris fires the flipper, flipping himself away from Rigged and once more to self-right, as Rigged follows up the attack, and lifts Flu-Bot up and over, a quick self-right from Chris€™ machine, puts Flu-Bot behind Rigged, as he drives into the rear of Rigged and up the rear wedge.
Meanwhile, SD IV has been caught coming out of the square, just enough so that Novastorm moves forward a tad, with the bar not spinning this match to save on battery power. Rigged pushes Flu-Bot the 2nd backwards, as Chris fires the flipper to get away, and self-rights, near the starting square, as Chris drives towards SD-IV as it€™s out of the square, and hasn€™t been tagged€¦
€¦Let€™s go Crazy, Tony says, as he comes shooting out of his square, straight towards SD IV, as Steve is facing a two-way battle here, as Rigged is coming up slowly behind, as SD IV tries to get away, but is pinned against the wall. Flu-Bot the 2nd gets in underneath and flips SD IV over the fence and onto the camera track. Rigged slams in underneath the rear of Flu-Bot the 2nd, as Novastorm turns onto Rigged, as Flu-Bot hops away, Novastorm comes into Rigged, not getting underneath, but as the two robots are stopped, neither under each other, as Rigged is trying to come away from the corner, but both Flu-Bot and Novastorm are on it, but neither is getting underneath Rigged, as the 3-way party is heading over nearer and nearer to the CPZ, with Matilda looking very nice, as Rigged can€™t get away, because Novastorm will only catch it, as Rigged turns, as Novastorm does another turn, hitting the wedges and pushing it by wedge to wedge action.
No Hope comes rolling over the arena to join Matilda in the CPZ, as Rigged tries to get away from the sudden doom of Matilda€™s flywheel, and No Hope€™s Ultimate wedge which is ranked 0th on the list. Rigged turns and comes onto the attack of Novastorm, but Tony turns and runs away, as Flu-Bot the 2nd is behind Rigged, trying to get underneath, but failing, as Novastorm cuts into the front, it€™s a battle of wedges, as Rigged gets underneath Novastorm and lifts Novastorm onto it€™s back, Flu-Bot the 2nd breaks a swear and gets underneath Novastorm and self-rights it from right under Rig€™s nose. Sex and drugs and Rock and roll is very good indeed.
The clock is ticking down, as Novastorm rams into Rigged once more, forcing it sideways, wedge to wedge tip, but is it all two little too late, as Flu-Bot the 2nd fires the flipper, as Rigged breaks free and gets underneath Flu-Bot the 2nd, allowing some time for Novastorm, as it drives up the front and underneath the arm, as Flu-Bot is over. Will the two teenage girls in the front row stop kissing each other, this is a family show. Thank you, save your kissing each other till after the fight. Novastorm is holding up the lifter on Rigged, as Flu-Bot comes in and manages to do a flip on the arm, as it is fired up with some force, as both robots are hopped off the front, as Rigged comes down.
Cease
All 3 robots are moving, as SD IV is out, meaning that by RW rules, the win would automatically go to Novastorm & Flu-Bot the 2nd, but as this is me, it€™s to the judges, and the two teenage girls are kissing each other once more, really, doesn€™t it make you sick that some of the more beautiful girls are gay:
Novastorm & Flu-Bot the 2nd/SD IV & Rigged
Aggression: 11/4
Damage: 7/8
Control: 7/8
Style: 5/10
Teamwork (For this area, the team which worked best as a team gets the marks, but it€™s an automatic 5 mark taken away for the team who broke the tag team rule the most): 12:3 before €¦ 7/8.
Total: 37/38
In a 38-37 decision, the winner goes to Rigged and SD IV, on the tag team rule.

Scene 1 Draw
Hurricane Hugo vs. Juggerbee Pi
Panic Panic Panic!! vs. The New Guy
The Box vs. Dante
Political Correctness Run Amok! vs. Catalyst
Panic Panic Panic!! (me) vs. The New Guy
Its weapon can do very little to me. He has no tractiction so i will push it around like nobodys business. It has no traction so techincaly it cant move. I will pit it and see what happens.
The Box vs. Dante
Ill just hope that my armour can stand up to that spinning disc. I have more traction and speed so pushing it around into arena hazards should be fairly easy. Hopefully I can stick to the sides or back and just shove it around while avoiding the weapon. If I can get some shots in on the wheels, that should help me out with pushing even more.
Hurricane Hugo vs. Juggerbee Pi
Hi chris, bye chris.
Spin immmeditly form the start, so both the body and spinner are both going. I can only move while spinning, and doing so will increase the damage of my hits a bit, so theres no reason I shouldnt be. If chris wants to get me, hell have to RAM me first, and he has poor armor, so thatll be mostly points for me. NEVER let him get me near the pit. Just eventually let him be KOd.
My disc should be able to do a lot of damage, lets just hope my hits are good ones/
SCENE 1
Catalyst VS POLITICAL CORRECTNESS RUN AMOK!
He has the better traction and speed, but his thwackiness wont do anything to my superior armour, plus I should logically have the superior control. Key plan here therefore is to stick to the sides and ram it into anything painful. That 2-rated armour should cut up a treat :proud:
Steve you do know for a thwackbot that speed is the power of the weapon and that it hasnt got a side to go to because its spinning all together
...wheest. :lame:
To Tony...you have to catch me first.
Political Correctness Run Amok vs. Catalyst
Let me tell you the story of when the Full Body Thwack met the Boxy Box. BANG SMASH BOOM, yes thats right! BANG SMASH BOOM! and since he is just a box Ill use the regular sharp spinning things, spin clockwise for maximum damage :)
Act 4, Scene 1, Part 1
I stopped to fill my Car Up, my egg-shaped stone was stolen, I€™m not in the best of moods, and I want my egg-shaped stone back.
Fight 1
Hurricane Hugo vs. Juggerbee Pi
From America, Hurricane Hugo. Designed to be a spinner on the spot, with evil blades and an outside spinning bar, spinning counter clockwise to the body, how evil. However if it hits something with armour 6 or more, it could be curtains for this spinner. It€™s pretty fast at speed 6.
From England, Juggerbee Pi. Designed to be a rammer spinner with a rear spike, it has the power to do well, but the weaponry isn€™t the best in the world at power 2. It has decent speed at 4, but is this enough for Mr Rammer?

ACTIVE
Hurricane Hugo is spinning around, spinning up a storm on the starting square, as Juggerbee Pi starts to make it€™s way around the starting section. Hurricane Hugo starts to roll forward, getting up to speed in linear movements, making a little storm with the dust on the arena surface, as Juggerbee Pi is trying to run away, as Hurricane Hugo hits into the slower machine€™s rear end.
Juggerbee Pi is spun around, the rear spike ripped off, as the sides hit the ring spinner. Juggerbee Pi is spun away once more, the side skirt and armour hanging loose, as Hurricane Hugo comes back onto the attack, hitting into the side once more, and completely spiting the side armour away to show the insides. Hurricane Hugo is onto the attack once more and rips out the side wheels, as they land on the arena surface.
Cease
The judges call a cease, as Juggerbee Pi is taken apart by the hurricane of Hurricane Hugo.
Fight 2
Panic Cubed vs. The New Guy
From Scotland, Panic Cubed is my name for Panic Panic Panic. Entered by Mr Martyn, this version of Panic is like Panicking, but with Hardox armour ranked at 5, skirts ranked at 3, so it looks an all-round average machine to take on the war machines of England, and America.
From Somewhere, the New Guy. Entered by Danny B, this newcomer has forgotten traction, but in terms of fairness I have moved 1 point from speed to traction. The speed and armour is tough at 6 and 7 respectfully, but the weapon is useless at power 2.

The New Guy gets off to a flying start, as he turns the corner and drives straight into Panic Cubed€™s lifting forks, and jumps away, as Martyn drives forward, getting underneath the side of The New Guy and lifting the wheels off the ground with the forks, lifts The New Guy up into the sky with Lucy and the diamonds. Panic Cubed is driving towards the pit release.
The pit is opened, as The New Guy€™s wheels are spinning in mid-air, and the disc spinning around, hitting random particles of air. The pit is getting closer to The New Guy, as Martyn lifts up a bit further and drops The New Guy 7 and a half feet under.
Cease
The New Guy, attacked at the start, but was lifted and pitted by Panic Panic Panic, which moves into the semi finals
