Velociraptor's Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

If DCI wants an easy ride, maybe I will drive one of the twins underneath it and give it a free ride...

...to the pit :wink:

As Nitrous Oxide would say if you over-take him in Crash Nitro Kart...

Dont think you wont pay!

On with the mayhem of the Mayhems, where we now have a battle between Panic 3 GTI 2, Sonic Boom and Whirligig 4.0!

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
Panic 3 GTI 2 came rushing towards Sonic Boom, who came to meet it, while Whirligig 4.0 began spinning before heading towards both bots! One wheel of Sonic Boom ran straight up the forks of Panic and the momentum powered axe came down, producing a dent! Panic 3 tried to run the axlebot towards the pit release, but Sonic Boom escaped quickly, rolling off Panic - and straight into Whirligig 4.0, sending it flying across the arena! Panic 3 and Whirligig 4.0 both headed towards Sonic Boom, who managed to recover and escape them both - it ran round the back and into Panics rear, to cause another dent! Whirligig 4.0 took the oppotunity to attack - Sonic Boom reversed and was only glanced, but Panic recieved a full on smack that sent it into the west wall, its skirt ripped and its armour cracked! Sonic Boom suddenly assaulted Whirligig, bringing the axe down on its top, but a quick movement from the spinning shuffler sent Sonic Boom into a forceful reverse! Panic 3, who was now out of reach of Whirligig 4.0, chased after Sonic Boom, which was too fast, until it came to meet Panic - and missed it, glancing Whirligig again! Whirligig managed to back Sonic Boom against the wall and give it a better strike, still not doing much to the Hardox wheel hubs!
Panic 3 GTI 2 went sprinting after Sonic Boom as it tumbled away from the hit, and lifted it onto its back with its forks before rushing to the pit release - unfortunately, Sonic Boom could still just wheel off, but Panic hit the release anyway and went after it. Sonic Boom was just too fast, however, and evaded Panic 3 and Whirligig 4.0 until the pit closed. At that point, it charged Panic 3, going straight over the forks to hit it on top again - however, when Panic turned and the forks came up, Sonic Booms axle went between them, and it was stuck! Slowed down by its cargo, Panic 3 struggled to keep ahead of Whirligig 4.0 as it went for the pit release, but once it was in the corner, there was no escape! The spinner struck Panic 3 on the side, deepening the cracks, and Sonic Boom went flying out of Panics grasp! Panic accelerated after it, managing to catch it before it regained control, but before they had reached the pit, Sonic Boom slipped off again! Panic 3 was forced to chase it again, while Whirligig struggled to keep up with both! At a safe distance, Sonic Boom began spinning on the spot, which allowed it to leave another mark in Panic when they met again! However, Whirligig had caught up at this point, and whacked Sonic Boom before it could escape after the spin, disorientating it again! As Panic followed the axlebot, it too was struck by Whirligig 4.0, on its so far undamaged side, so it survived, but Sonic Boom was already away!
The three-robot chase began again, until Sonic Boom began another spin on the spot and knocked Panic 3 GTI 2 when it charged anyway! Running in while Sonic Boom was against the wall, Panic 3 lifted it but wasnt able to trap it again, and with a stylish spin, Sonic Boom was off - but again, right into the vortex of Whirligig 4.0! Panic 3 was forced to run around Whirligig to avoid being hit itself, but Sonic Boom was already running to a safe distance until it ran to meet Panic and struck it on top again! Panic 3 desperately turned round but failed to catch Sonic Boom as it ran over it, and instead it recieved a frontal assault from the approaching Whirligig 4.0! The forks were bent, and operating much slower! Forced to reverse after Sonic Boom, Panic 3 couldnt use its forks effectively enough and recieved another pounding for its troubles, but it did manage to use the forks to nudge Sonic Boom into the arena disc! Whirligig 4.0 and Panic 3 both chased the tumbling axlebot again, but it recovered quickly enough, and when Panic 3 attacked it, it was able to use a spin to hit it on the side, then run round it to smack Whirligig 4.0 on top, although a glance of the spinner sent it flying again! Dodging Whirligig, Panic 3 chased it again - Sonic Boom ran into the raised forks and brought its axe down with force on the aluminium again! Panic 3 rushed Sonic Boom into the corner, pinning it with its forks, but had to abandon the pin when Whirligig 4.0 chose to attack - Panic escaped, but Sonic Boom was soon sent after it by Whirligigs spinner! Panic 3 GTI 2 reversed, pinning Sonic Boom against the wall again, although the axlebot was quickly able to escape, and Panic 3 recieved a rear hit from Whirligig 4.0! A piece of the cracked Lexan armour flew into one of Panics wheels, slowing it down enough for Whirligig to hit again - this hit caused a motor to give up on Panic 3 and it was left turning in a circle, wafts of smoke emerging from its cracks! Fortunately, it was spared any more punishment from Whirligig 4.0 or Sonic Boom by the buzzer!
CEASE!

Aggression: Panic - 3, Sonic Boom - 3, Whirligig - 4 (P and W were both more aggressive than SB, which ran away a lot, but P loses marks for being partly mobile at the end)
Damage: Panic - 0, Sonic Boom - 2, Whirligig - 8 (W caused the most damage, while SB caused some to P, and P using the arena disc on SB doesnt count for much)
Strategy: Panic - 3, Sonic Boom - 4, Whirligig - 3 (W didnt have much strategy - spin, hit things, make them die - but it was successful, P had the strategy of pinning and carrying SB with less success, while SB had the most strategy of whacking P and W on top, and spinning on the spot)
Control: Panic - 2, Sonic Boom - 3, Whirligig - 5 (W had the most control, SB had less control, and P wasnt fully controlled at the end)
Style: Panic - 2, Sonic Boom - 4, Whirligig - 4 (Ps lifting and ramming wasnt stylish, while SBs spinning and whacking and Ws spinner attacks were more so)
Dominance: Panic - 3, Sonic Boom - 3, Whirligig - 4 (all three robots had around the same amount of dominance, but W gets more points because its attacks were more punishing)
Final Score: Panic 3 GTI 2 - 13, Sonic Boom - 19, Whirligig 4.0 - 28

WHIRLIGIG 4.0 GOES THROUGH TO THE ANNIHILATOR!

Black Chalkie Beard, Dieceratops Invertus and Hacked Off Ha-ka all had limited success in VFT6 - which one will show us what it can really do?

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
The clusterbot Black Chalkie Beard split - Black went in the direction of Dieceratops Invertus, while Beard attacked Hacked Off Ha-ka! With better speed, Dieceratops was able to dodge Black and reach its side, but the skirt was too low for the flipper! It shoved Black around in a circular path, managing to pin it in the corner! Meanwhile, Beard found itself being greeted by Hacked Off Ha-kas axe, which couldnt make an impression on the Hardox! Running into Ha-ka head on, Beard shoved it backwards, into the arena disc! Ha-ka was skimmed around, exposing its side and allowing Beard to rush in and lift with the swords! While Beard began ramming the trapped Ha-ka into the south wall, Black was still being pinned by Dieceratops, who still couldnt get past the skirting! So it was forced to release, and Black was quick to escape - as they attempted to attack, they became parallel to each other, but because it was faster, Dieceratops eventually turned into Blacks side and began pushing again, propelling it across the arena. When they hit the west wall, Black wriggled free, but Dieceratops just dodged a side attack, and then one from the rear, eventually managing to turn its front into Blacks side again, and manouvre it towards the pit release!
Beard, who was still carrying Hacked Off Ha-ka, rushed across the arena to aid its sibling - however, when Dieceratops Invertus was forced to release Black to get it in position for a pitting, Black ran like the wind, just missing being pinned again by a couple of knocks, and sought refuge behind the Black and Ha-ka! Quickly catching up, Dieceratops flipper went under Ha-ka, and it fired! As Ha-ka sailed away onto its back, Dieceratops went straight under the raised swords of Beard and rushed it towards the pit - but the pit closed! Dieceratops moved Beard towards the release, with Black coming on the attack - but meanwhile, Hacked Off Ha-ka had run to a safe distance and selfrighted! It was now advancing as Dieceratops was cornered by Black against the pit release, and lifted. But Dieceratops fired its flipper - it bounced off the swords, and Beard was flipped against the wall! Before Black could do anything, Ha-kas axe came down on a sword, bending it a little! Dieceratops moved around them, collected Beard from its position on the wall, and quickly rushed it to the pit! It then came back for Black, who was being pressured by the axe of Ha-ka! As Black tried to reach Ha-kas side and lift it, Dieceratops Invertus attacked and shoved it away! Bringing its axe down, Hacked Off Ha-ka finally managed to snag one of Blacks wheels - it gave the pit release another knock and began trying to drag Black, but Black was too strong and struggled against it! Dieceratops came in to help - unable to get in a position to push Black as well, it slipped its nose cone under the bent sword and used its flipper again! Black went flying up, while Hacked Off Ha-ka went up against the wall! Dieceratops managed to catch Black side on - the pit had closed, so after bringing itself down from the wall, Hacked Off Ha-ka kindly opened it, and with a bit of a struggle, Black joined its clusterbot twin in the abyss!
Hacked Off Ha-ka now accelerated to attack Dieceratops Invertus, who was able to get away! Ha-ka chased Dieceratops for a moment, until Dieceratops chose to attack, running around Ha-ka until it could reach the side, and send it onto its back! It then ran under Ha-ka again and moved it towards the pit release, but Hacked Off Ha-ka turned itself back over with its axe! Dieceratops had to dodge quickly, and Ha-kas axe struck the arena floor! Dieceratops had soon got round to its side again, and shoved it into the pit release, then successfully brought it close, fired its flipper and sent Hacked Off Ha-ka somersaulting in to join Black Chalkie Beard!
CEASE!

DIECERATOPS INVERTUS GOES THROUGH TO THE ANNIHILATOR!

In the final Mayhem, former champ The Disc 4 wants revenge on Psyclone, while Wrecktangle wants a place in the Hall of Fame by beating them both!

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
The Disc 4, its deadly weapon spinning, aimed to attack Wrecktangle, who charged it down, while Psyclone paused to spin up before attacking The Disc 4 too! Wrecktangle smashed into The Disc 4, its spinning blade propelling one wheel pod off the ground, and it just missed being hit itself! The Disc 4 chased Wrecktangle, who ran away while Psyclone approached! The Disc 4 just ran after Wrecktangle, dodging Psyclone - Wrecktangle backed off, then charged The Disc down, but The Disc 4 turned a little and Wrecktangle ended up crashing into the weapon, sending it upwards! With a twist, The Disc turned Wrecktangle over fully - as Wrecktangle rolled over due to its bar, The Disc 4 hit it again to send it into the approaching Psyclone! While Wrecktangle flew away into the west wall, The Disc 4 charged Psyclone and struck it while it was slowed a little - Psyclones high ground clearance meant it didnt strike the floor, and it was still spinning enough to send The Disc 4 to one side, also hitting the right wheel and bashing the titanium!
Recovering, The Disc 4 was assaulted by a vengeful Wrecktangle, whose armour was damaged and a wheel bent, but it was still fast enough to strike and tilt the former champ! However, The Disc 4 turned on one wheel and hit Wrecktangle, wounding its top armour! Psyclone was advancing as well, bashing The Disc in its left wheel again and smashing it into the wall, allowing for another assault that dented the titanium guard! Ending up behind Psyclone, The Disc 4 dodged another attack and aimed for the attacking Wrecktangle again - again Wrecktangles blade hit The Disc in its wheel, but The Disc didnt get a chance to swing around and attack, as Wrecktangle charged past, and Psyclone whacked it from behind! The Disc recovered quickly enough to attack Psyclone as it approached, only to sent off to one side again! Wrecktangle came back in as The Disc 4 moved around Psyclone, and attacked, but The Disc 4 turned and sent Wrecktangle flying side on into Psyclone! Wrecktangle skimmed away, ending up against the wall - it ran along the wall on three wheels, but when it reached a corner, none of its wheels were in contact and it was stranded against it! Meanwhile, The Disc 4 had gone for the slightly stalled Psyclone again, but again it couldnt get in fast enough and Psyclone was spinning enough to deflect it! Against the wall again, The Disc 4 took a glancing blow from Psyclone, but then managed to escape and run towards the trapped Wrecktangle! Unfortunately, Psyclone had caught up and The Disc 4 was stranded as it struck Wrecktangle - it was hit from behind and smashed against the wall, leaving a scar in the Lexan! Wrecktangle bounced down, hitting The Disc again, and went backwards into Psyclone for a third hit! It was all too much for the heavily scarred Wrecktangle, who did not move again!
The Disc 4 managed to wriggle out of its corner before Psyclone could inflict further punishment, and then come in to try and get Psyclone against the wall! Psyclone almost hit the wall but not quite, and moved a safe distance away while The Disc 4 recovered from striking the wall itself! It charged as The Disc 4 came out, but the VFT5 champ dodged and went for the corpse of Wrecktangle! It successfully got behind Wrecktangle and smashed its body with the disc, sending it into Psyclone to try and stall it again - but again Psyclone almost immediately got spinning again, and sent The Disc 4 flying into the wall with more damage to its wheel guards! Running behind Psyclone, The Disc 4 tried to get it against the wall, and again came close but failed, sent flying away again! Psyclone moved into the arena centre while The Disc 4 attacked again, striking with its disc desperately but only being deflected again! The Disc 4 was forced to dodge Psyclones attack again and go for Wrecktangles body, causing more already heavy damage as it tried to knock it into Psyclone! Wrecktangle didnt go into Psyclone straight away, so Psyclone started going around it! As The Disc went to try again, Chris Mason yelled at Frank to stop damaging his robot, so Frank finally backed off, went back round and ran The Disc 4 into Psyclones spinner, again, only to have little effect and be damaged itself! The Disc 4 started hanging around the wall for a few moments, but Psyclone wasnt going to fall for that! So eventually, The Disc 4 came on the attack again, trying to get behind Psyclone and knock it into the wall, but again without success! The Disc 4 landed two more aggressive but undamaging hits on Psyclone in the final seconds. It had turned out much like their VFT6 match - would it have the same result?
CEASE!

Aggression: The Disc 4 - 5, Psyclone - 5 (both robots were equally aggressive)
Damage: The Disc 4 - 3, Psyclone - 7 (both robots damaged Wrecktangle, but Psyclone did more damage to The Disc than vice versa)
Strategy: The Disc 4 - 7, Psyclone - 3 (The Disc had much more strategy in using the walls and Wrecktangle to stall Psyclone, but had limited success)
Control: The Disc 4 - 5, Psyclone - 5 (both robots were equally controlled)
Style: The Disc 4 - 4, Psyclone - 6 (both robots had stylish attacks, but The Discs attacks didnt work stylishly when it attacked Psyclone)
Dominance: The Disc 4 - 4, Psyclone - 6 (The Disc 4 battered Wrecktangle more but spent more time being sent flying by Psyclone)
Final Score: The Disc 4 - 28, Psyclone - 32

PSYCLONE GOES THROUGH TO THE ANNIHILATOR!

Annihilator:
Dieceratops Invertus vs Forklifts Revenge vs Geforce vs Psyclone vs Push-Ish vs Whirligig 4.0

Hey, Martyn? I have no idea why I didnt notice this before, but you entered Panic 3 GTI 2 in both the Mayhems and the Football, and youre only allowed to enter a particular robot in one side event.
Sorry I didnt see it before, but could you replace Panic 3 GTI 2 (in the Football, since the Mayhems are already over) with one of your other VFT6 robots, please?

Here are the ones you can enter:
Typhoon 2
Disco 5
TIRTASM
Srimech Not Included
Star 69

Whoa! Great fight again, congrats to Richard and Frank.

Dieceratops Invertus vs Forklifts Revenge vs Geforce vs Psyclone vs Push-Ish vs Whirligig 4.0

Well, I certainly didnt expect two robots in the annihilator. I think GeForce and Psyclone will need to pick different targets...

Psyclone: Fancy having a FBS team-up, Steve? Im going for Push-Ish anyway, being as I think its a bit of a spinner killer.

GeForce: Probably go for Dieceratops Invertus, for old times sake. :)

Keep up the good work! :wink:

Change of plan, because Daves good at bribing.

Psyclone will now be aiming for the rear of Forklifts Revenge. GeForces tactics remain the same.

My main aim will be to take out the weakness in the form of Forklifts Revenge. It is underpowered and has ultra-skirts so Martyn will find it an evil bitch to turn around and defend himself. The skirts on the edges are the weakness part because to be an efficient torsion sprung system needs skirts all around to take the pressure.

Besides according to the stats of Martyns machine, he has no way in moving because the wheels are inside the robot and not sticking out :proud:

ANNIHILATOR
ROUND 1
Die-Ceratops Invertus VS Forklifts Revenge VS GeForce VS Psyclone (17) VS Push-Ish (16) VS WHIRLIGIG 4.0 (19)

Um...stil getting over the fact I made it in :proud: (smashing stuff as always BTW, Richie :wink:) so no real game plan. Get some room to spin up to max speed and shock-kill/gut anyone in the way :proud:

I will enter TIRTASM into the football

Annihilator:
Dieceratops Invertus vs Forklifts Revenge vs Geforce vs Psyclone vs Push-Ish vs Whirligig 4.0

Humm what to do

Forklift will go for dieceraptops and try and flip it around, i think forklifts revenge has the rear wedge so if Psyclone comes near me i will reverse into it with my wedge and hopfuly unbalnce it

Well done Andy, thats 2-0:)
