Hey, I won something :uhoh:
I also noticed that I have 2 robots in this heat, but meh. Crooked- haven't used that in a while! Just flip stuff, if that fails just go for a random/spectacular exit that *hopefully* ensures me continuing onwards to the next round... What that may be I'm not sure of yet, hopefully there will be crumpets.
Don't worry, Jack: Extreme Gyration is so incredibly absurd it will destroy itself upon contact with anything. :P
Sam: One robot down, and the next victim is going to be decided in the second battle of the evening!
(BATTLE 2!!!)
From Wales, System Shock!
System Shock is a box-wedge, with a horizontal, top mounted spinning disc on the front. The disc's power can be also put into the drive motors via a clutch, and the machine can use that power to slam into robots with a speed of 50mph. Trust me, this has WAY worse results than a punishing hit by Niklas Kronwall or Scott Stevens. It is also maneuverable and invertible as well. Even if the tracks get damaged, this machine doesn't get affected. It can run the same way without the tracks. Great machine indeed.
From Richmond upon Thames, Crooked Evo!
Jack Orr has entered another great machine. Crooked Evo is a great robot, with a flipper powered by gas, and some tough armour to go along with it. As usual, there is a limited amount as with all flippers powered by gas. Nonetheless, this is a machine with a nasty attitude and a great amount of power. Very good indeed.
From Texas in the USA, Extreme Gyration!
Yikes, this looks frightening. This machine has a HUGE spinning blade that spins at an insane speed of... are you ready? 12000RPM. *GASPSHOCK* This blade can put out 1.2mJ... yes, you heard me right. 1.2 MEGAJOULES of pure, raw energy. Its armour is 3.5mm titanium, which isn't too bad. Even so, it is one of the slowest robots here with a driving speed of 7mph, and with an energy output so high, it could most likely self-destruct after making a hit, even though it's got shock-proofing inside.
Roboteers, Stand By...
Let's see here, Liam and Jack are at the controls of System Shock and Crooked Evo respectively in their control booth. Mark Elam, meanwhile is in the other control booth driving Extreme Gyration. The drivers for the house robots are nowhere to be found, as they are hidden somewhere secret. Wherever it is. :lame: Anyway, the house robots for this battle will be Matilda with the flywheel of death, and the mighty crushing fangs of Gorgon.
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!
The Refbot's green light signals the start of the match, and here we go! System Shock is spinning its disc up to speed... and already, Extreme Gyration spinning up its weapon up. BUT WAIT! System Shock rams into Extreme Gyration before it gets up to speed, and SLAMS it into the wall! That's very good aggression being shown there by the Welsh machine already. Now, Extreme Gyration gets away, but Crooked Evo comes in, gets underneath and SLAMS it into the arena saws! BZZZT! That causes some sparks and the audience reacts to that! Both robots are ganging up on the Texan machine early on, and Extreme Gyration hasn't really got a chance to use its weapon. Here is Extreme Gyration again, spinning up its weapon. Extreme Gyration slams itself HARD into System Shock's side!
KERRASH!!!!!!!
... and that is a CRUSHING hit. Both robots get spun away violently and System Shock ends up crashing into a wall with a thump! System Shock looks to be okay nonetheless, and it drives away like nothing ever happened. There's a huge scratch in the armour, but it does not look like any internal damage has been caused, as it still moves freely. Extreme Gyration gets spinning up again, but Crooked Evo gets underneath and SLAMS it into Gorgon's CPZ! Good shoving power there by Crooked Evo, what power! Now, the fangs come down on the Texan machine with great force, and already, the titanium armour is crumpled. Extreme Gyration gets away from the CPZ of Gorgon, and now it tries to spin up again. Crooked Evo and Extreme Gyration go on a head on collision... oh no, I don't like the direction this is going...
KERRASH!!!!!!!
OH MY GAWD! The slam sends both robots thrashing away from each other in a shower of sparks! The energy emitted from this collision is absolutely HUGE indeed! My goodness. Crooked Evo is okay, and no REAL damage has been caused other than a big scratch in the armour. System Shock charges at Extreme Gyration, and that is A HUGE SLAM right into the saws! My goodness, what power! Extreme Gyration gets away from the saws, and the blade is spinning again! Crooked Evo plays the brave fool again, and both bots charge into each other with huge force!
KERRASH!!!!!!!
Lord have mercy, that is one heck of a collision as both bots get belted away in a huge flurry of sparks! Now, Extreme Gyration is still moving-- but wait! The blade does not seem to be spinning at all! I think after the previous collision with Crooked Evo, the impact was so powerful and the energy output was SO high, it somehow caused the blade to stop spinning! My goodness... and now System Shock is giving it no end of trouble here! It slams Extreme Gyration into the CPZ of Matilda with a mighty shove!
CRASH!!!
The flywheel of Matilda causes great sparks to fly, and it almost flips Extreme Gyration on its back! Good attack there by System Shock. Crooked Evo comes in and crashes their party and carries Extreme Gyration towards the wall! Will it go out?!
FLIP!
The flipper sends Extreme Gyration flying, but not out! Extreme Gyration survives to fight another moment, but it's receiving no end of trouble at the moment! System Shock just won't leave Extreme Gyration alone, and it slams Mark's machine right into Gorgon's CPZ! The lethal fangs come down again, and its armour is crumpled even more now! Extreme Gyration tries to flee, but it's going nowhere as it is still in the clutches of Gorgon! Now Gorgon releases Extreme Gyration, and it is able to get away just barely! Crooked Evo barges in and flips over the Texan machine, and SLAMS it into the saws! BZZZT! The sparks fly! Now, Extreme Gyration is on its back and unable to self-right, due to the blade not spinning anymore. The Refbot rushes over and gives the last rites by counting it out!
1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8... 9... 10!!!
Extreme Gyration is out of there! Now, the arena becomes a playground for the house robots. Gorgon pushes Extreme Gyration onto the floor flipper, and now we will see some air time! 3... 2... 1... FLIP! There it goes, and the Texan machine takes flight and comes back down with a gut-wrenching thud! Gorgon presses the pit button, and lines up Extreme Gyration by the edge of the pit. Now Matilda comes in with the flywheel...
CRASH!!!
That's it, Extreme Gyration is in the pit, but it's not over, it looks like! System Shock spins its blade up to full speed, and rams Matilda's side with it!
CRASH!!!
OH, and Matilda loses some armour, and now Crooked Evo gets into the act and flips Matilda over into its side! My goodness, this is absolutely unheard of! Liam and Jack are having way too much fun in their control booths, it looks like. :proud: Now, System Shock shoves Matilda into the pit to avoid any humiliation, but wait! Refbot gives both of them a yellow card, much to the annoyance of the audience! They're all booing Refbot, and Crooked Evo doesn't like it one bit either! Crooked Evo gets underneath the Refbot, carries it to the wall, and Refbot gets tossed! He's out of the arena lying on the camera tracks! Ah man, now I've seen everything!
CEASE!
Extreme Gyration spins itself into oblivion.
System Shock and Crooked Evo go through to Round 2!!!
Round 2 Line-Ups
Storm 2 VS System Shock
Crooked Evo VS Gabriel 5
Tactics and Predictions, s'il vous plait.
Storm II vs. System Shock
Storm II can be rendered near useless if flipped. Can System Shock do it before being pitted or rammed OOTA? I don't think so.
CrOoKeD EvO vs. Gabriel V
Pretty sure Joey can get this one, sorry Jack. :uhoh:
Drat, well in that case i will prepare for the worst. First paint the robot black and dress it in funeral garments. Then fly to Italy to meet with the Pope and discuss how i can make Tunnock's style teacakes at home. When i make my return, i will be extremely jet-lagged, so hopefully that will work in my favour.Quote:

Justine: Hey Liam! What's up with you?
Liam: I'm doing good, thank you. Right now, I'm just fixing the machine.
Justine: You took damage from the previous battle?
Liam: Yeah, but it's nothing major. Extreme Gyration just caused some damage to the side in the previous battle, but it's all good now.
Justine: That's great. Now, your opponent is Storm 2. Tactics?
Liam: I'm gonna use the 50mph slam whenever I can. Also, I'm gonna cause damage with the disc, push it to the house robots just to get it softened up and dump it in the pit. Either way, it's going to be a great battle, so we'll see what happens. I'm willing to do everything I can to nab the victory.
Justine: That's confidence! Best of luck.
Liam: Thank you.
Justine: All right Jack, the draw has been made, and you are up against System Shock!
Jack: Well, Storm 2 is almost the same as System Shock, so... yeah, we're pretty even, I would say.
Justine: ... and what are your tactics going to be?
Jack: Well, given the fact that we are evenly matched, it's going to be a great fight. What I'll do is lift it up using the lifter, and push it around the arena and send it into unpleasent places... that is, the CPZ and the arena hazards. Maybe dump it in the pit if I want.
Justine: All right, what do you think about Liam?
Jack: He's obviously a great guy. He builds great robots and I respect him very much, but I will do my best to win.
Justine: That's the spirit! Best of luck.
Jack: Thanks a lot.
(* * *)
Sam: Hey! The carnage level is about to go a lot higher! LET THE SECOND ROUND BEGIN!!!
(BATTLE 3!!!)
Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome...
SYSTEM SHOCK!!!
STORM 2!!!
Roboteers, Stand by...
Liam Eliot is in a control booth driving System Shock, and there's Jack Orr on the controls of Storm 2 in the other booth. Both competitors are very good, and so are the house robots. In this battle they will be Dead Metal with the pincers and the deadly sting of the sawblade, and Mindbender with the deadly spinning hammers.
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!
Now... this battle should be interesting. These are two robots which mainly use their pushing power and brute force as their weapons. System Shock can go up to 28 mph, so it's definitely the more faster here. Meanwhile Storm 2 can go up to 23 mph, and immediately it gets a good shove in on System Shock and-- look out! It SLAMS System Shock into the saws! BZZZT! Sparks fly, but System Shock gets away and shakes it off. The blade is spinning on System Shock, and it slams into Storm 2's side with huge force!
CRASH!!!
Sparks are flying, and the audience loves it! That will catch the eyes of the judges, as well. However, Storm 2 gets underneath again and it absolutely hammers the Welsh machine into the wall! That's a good attack there by the former runner up of Robot Wars, and Liam looks like he cannot take it anymore! He's fed up with being pushed around so System Shock charges at Storm 2, and slams into it! Now, it shoves the former New Blood champion right into the saws! BZZZT! Sparks fly, and the audience reacts to that! My goodness, that's a large amount of sparks, and Liam looks like he's not done yet, as he drives System Shock into Storm once again, and pushes it to Dead Metal's CPZ-- but it flees out of harm's way! Great defense by Storm 2 there, as it gets away from danger! This is a good battle we're seeing here so far, and both machines are doing very well in this fight. We've seen the experience that Storm 2 has, being a runner up in the 7th Wars, and it also won the New Blood Championships as well. System Shock is also a very good machine as well, as it came 4th in the first Crash and Burn Mini-Tourney. Now, the blade is spinning on System Shock, and it slams into the side of Storm 2 once again!
CRASH!!!
Sparks fly again, but no real damage is caused other than a small scratch. Storm 2 now fights back and slams into the side of System Shock, and it feeds the Welsh machine into the saws! BZZZT! System Shock gets away from the saws, but not from Storm 2, as it slams System Shock into the clutches of Dead Metal and it welcomes the Welsh machine with open arms! The circular saw goes to work now! BZZZT! Sparks are flying... and that sounded way more painful than a dentist's drill! System Shock gets away, and darts for Storm 2! Now both robots seem to be playing cat and mouse, as System Shock chases Storm 2 around the arena! System Shock slams into Storm 2 now, and feeds it into the CPZ of Dead Metal who does not look happy at all! It doesn't like having its personal space invaded, no sir! Now, Dead Metal clutches Storm 2 in its grasp, and gives the saw treatment and sparks begin to fly! Now, it gets away, but System Shock won't leave it alone! The Welsh machine gets underneath Storm 2 again, and it slams it into the pit button! There is the pit of doom descending now, looking for someone to devour like a roaring lion. System Shock continues to pursue Storm 2, and it gets underneath! Now Storm 2 is in serious trouble as it is getting closer to being pushed into Mindbender, but it JUST drives away in the nick of time! Now, Storm 2 fights back and slams into System Shock and feeds it into the saws! BZZZT! More sparks are flying and the audience loves it! Storm 2 now slams into System Shock again. This time, it starts pushing the Welsh machine into Mindbender's CPZ! This doesn't look good at all... BUT WAIT! Just like Storm 2, System Shock flees away from danger by the skin of its chinny chin chin! :proud: Now, System Shock gets away and slams into Storm 2! The rammer from Wales now starts shoving Storm 2 into Mindbender's CPZ! Oh no, this does NOT look good... Storm 2 tries getting away... its wheels are spinning frantically...
CRASH!!!
Nope, it didn't happen, as Mindbender unleashes the fury on Storm 2 and thrusts it away! Storm 2 gets belted by the spinning hammers real good, it looks like. Storm 2 is starting to limp a little bit, but that doesn't stop the Ipswich machine from getting underneath System Shock and SLAMMING it into the saws! Good attack there by Storm 2, there. System Shock gets away from the saws, and into Storm 2 it goes! It gets underneath Storm 2's side somehow, and slams it into the saws again! BZZZT! Sparks are flying again, but Storm 2 doesn't stop as it retaliates by ramming System Shock closer to the pit of doom! Uh-oh, this doesn't look good for System Shock! Will it go in-- NO! It doesn't go in, as System Shock only JUST gets away! However, all is not well for System Shock! Despite getting away from the pit, Storm 2 now pursues it and chases after it! Now, Storm 2 gets underneath the side of System Shock, and rams it into Dead Metal! System Shock is welcomed with open arms, and down goes the saw of the house robot! BZZZT! There's the sparks and we have seen a lot of sparks flying here in this battle. This will catch the eyes of the judges if, by any chance, this fight goes the distance and ends with no real clear winner. System Shock gets away from Dead Metal, but Storm 2 just does not stop! It slams into the Welsh machine, and starts to shove it towards Mindbender! Uh-oh--
CRASH!!!
YEOW! The spinning hammers collide with System Shock and the Welsh machine gets thrusted away-- oh, dangerously near the pit! System Shock is slightly limping now due to the hit by Mindbender. However, it doesn't stop System Shock from getting underneath Storm 2! Now, System Shock is heading closer towards the pit and takes Storm 2 with it! Storm 2 is trying to get away, hanging on for dear life! Storm 2 JUST gets away, and flees from danger! What a battle this is turning out to be! What great action we are seeing here! System Shock gets underneath Storm 2 again and it slams the former Robot Wars runner-up into the saws! BZZZT! There is a good amount of sparks flying now, and the audience goes wild as ever. However, now time is running out for both of these robots...
10... 9... 8... 7...
System Shock now gets underneath Storm 2 again and-- uh-oh, it's starting to push Storm 2 towards the pit...
6... 5... 4...
Storm 2 hangs on in there, holding on for dear life again! Will it get dumped?!
3... 2... 1...
CEASE!
NNNO! Time has run out for these robots and it goes to the judges! That was a fantastic battle, and let's see what the judges have to say here.
JD: System Shock / Storm 2
Style: 2.5/5 / 2.5/5
Damage: 2.8/5 / 2.2/5
Control: 2.4/5 / 2.6/5
Aggression: 2.4/5 / 2.6/5
Final Score: 10.1/20 / 9.9/20
Storm 2 gets downgraded to a light breeze.
System Shock goes through to the Heat L Final!!!
I don't think the repeated tight decisions are necessary. :proud:
Regardless, good fight. :)
Justine: All right Jack, your opponent for this battle will be Gabriel 5.
Jack: Gabriel, eh? Oh boy, that's gonna be quite a difficult battle. I really don't know about this one, but I think I'll give it my best shot.
Justine: Mkay, tactics?
Jack: Well, flipping it out of the arena seems the most likely thing to do. Shove it to the house robots, if I need to.
Justine: All right, you confident?
Jack: Not very, but I think I can take it on.
Justine: That's the spirit! Good luck.
Jack: Thank you.
Justine: Alright then. I'm over here with Gabriel whose opponent is Crooked Evo!
Joey: Very good flipper, so I think I need to prepare well for this battle.
Justine: Okay, tactics?
Joey: Well, flip over the damn thing, and push it to the house robots. Probably try to pit it in the end.
Justine: Mkay, how confident are you?
Joey: I'm pretty confident. I think I can take it on quite well.
Justine: All right, good luck to you.
Joey: Thanks.
(BATTLE 4!!!)
Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome...
CROOKED EVO!!!
GABRIEL 5!!!
Roboteers, stand by...
There's Jack Orr driving Crooked Evo in one booth, and Joey McConnell in the other, driving Gabriel 5. House robots are always lean and mean, and they love to destroy the competitors. In fact, it's their only reason for existence. :proud: They are... Mr. Psycho and Head Smash with their HUGE hammers.
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!
They're off! Two great machines are battling it out in this fight. Crooked Evo already getting under the tenth seeded machine, Gabriel and flipping it over. Of course we all know that Gabriel can self-right just like that, and Gabriel now fights back on Crooked Evo. It slams into the machine from Richmond, and gets underneath. This time Crooked gets flipped over, but again, it easily self rights. Gabriel now slams into Crooked again, and pushes it into the saws! BZZZT! Showers of sparks are littering the arena, and the audience as always, loving that. Gabriel comes in on Crooked Evo, but it spins away, and avoids the front. Now, Crooked Evo slams itself into Gabriel's side, and somehow gets underneath! Now, it goes to Mr. Psycho's CPZ, and the giant hammer comes down!
WHAM!
The hammer comes down with HUGE force, but it caused very little damage to Gabriel. Joey driving Gabriel away from the CPZ, and into the side of Crooked Evo! Now, Crooked Evo is in trouble as it gets shoved into the saws! BZZZT! Sparks are flying again, and the audience wants more carnage and destruction! Crooked Evo gets away, and it gets underneath the side of Gabriel and flips it over! What a flip, as Gabriel gets tossed high in the air! Gabriel lands back on its wheels, and continues to fight! Here is Gabriel, getting undeneath Crooked Evo and shoving it into Head Smash's CPZ! The hammer comes down hard on Jack Orr's machine!
CRASH!!!
Good Lord, that sound is FRIGHTENING. Absolutely frightening indeed. Look at the hole that thing made... yikes. Crooked Evo slightly, only slightly limping here. The hammer, I think, damaged the insides of the machine a little bit. Crooked Evo gets underneath the 10th seeds now, and pushes it into the saws! BZZZT! Good attack there by Crooked Evo. Gabriel fights back and flips over Jack's machine, but it self-rights. As mentioned before, Gabriel is a good machine; it reached the semi-finals last year, winning the Heat H Final against Exertion. This is a much improved machine, I think, as it gets under the side of Crooked Evo and flips it over again. Crooked Evo is a great machine too; great rear-hinged flipper, and it has more than enough power to flip robots clear over the fence. Now, Crooked Evo gets underneath the 10th seeds again, trying to do just that! Gabriel hanging on as Crooked Evo carries it to the wall--
FLIP!!!
NO! It didn't happen, as Gabriel bounces off the wall and lives to fight another moment or two here! Gabriel presses the pit button now, and the siren signals the pit opening. Now, Crooked Evo chases Gabriel and gets underneath the side-- oh, what a flip as Gabriel took some air time from the flipper! If that was near the fence, it would have surely flown straight out! Gabriel now self-rights, and it gets underneath and pushes Crooked Evo towards Mr. Psycho! The hammer comes blasting down!
WHAM!
The hammer comes down with great force, but the damage is minimal again. Crooked Evo gets away from Mr. Psycho and drives towards Gabriel. Crooked Evo is doing absolutely everything it can to beat Gabriel, but Joey is not backing down here! He can't seem to take this anymore! Gabriel just keeps going and going, and now it gets underneath Crooked Evo, and flips it over! Crooked Evo is on its back, but it self-rights and gets away! Good defense there by Jack's machine. Now, Gabriel is off to press the pit button, and the pit opens up! Good gracious, that siren has chills running down my back. :proud: Crooked Evo charges at Gabriel and gets underneath and now, it drags the 10th seeded machine closer toward the pit! Gabriel... JUST ESCAPES by the skin of its chinny-chin-chin! :proud: Now, Gabriel fights back, and slams into the side of Crooked Evo and pushes it into the CPZ of Head Smash! The hammer comes down hard!
CRASH!!!
OH, that sound was absolutely frightening! Head Smash absolutely levels Crooked Evo with that hammer! One word, OUCH! Crooked Evo gets away, but it appears to be limping even more. That hammer must have caused more damage to the inside of the machine. Now, taking this to advantage, Gabriel slams into Crooked Evo and gets underneath, and starts shoving it towards the pit! Now, Crooked Evo's wheels are desperately spinning to get away... can it recover?! NO! Crooked Evo gets dumped into the pit! Well done to both Jack and Joey for putting up an amazing battle!
CEASE!
Crooked Evo is left bruised and battered.
Gabriel (10) goes through to the Heat L Final!!!
Heat L Final: System Shock VS Gabriel V
Tactics, Predictions? A nice cold refreshing glass of lemonade?
First of all, I sincerely apologize to all my friends on the FRA Fan Fic Community for not being on here for a long time. I was on a bit of a vacation and I have not had time to do this. Hopefully I can go on here more from now on.
BTW, Zarte, if you're still there, it would be greatly appreciated if you gave me your stats for Cry with the Saints and BIACS-ident. Thanks. :)
Oh and btw, after a long and grueling wait... THE HEAT FINAL!!!
Justine: So Liam, how are you doing now?
Liam: Good for the most part. There seems to have been damage caused to the inside of the machine after that blow from the house robot, but it'll be ready to go in a jiffy.
Justine: Good to hear that. All right then, your opponent for the heat final will be Gabriel! What do you think about that?
Liam: Hmm... well, it's definitely not going to be easy, that's for sure. I'll try to keep my front facing my opponent as much as I can, and cause damage with the disc, but for the most part, go for the box-rush and push it into the house robots and dump it in the pit ASAP.
Justine: All right, are you thinking you can knock off the seed and win the heat?
Liam: Not really, but I'm thinking I can take him on quite nicely.
Justine: That's the spirit! Good luck.
Liam: Thanks a lot.
Justine: All right Joey! System Shock is your opponent for this heat final. What do you think of this match-up?
Joey: System Shock, eh? Well, this is going to be a bit difficult, because of the great pushing power and sheer aggression factor.
Justine: Ah, so you are worried?
Joey: Yeah a little, but although I think it's going to be a bit difficult to go up against, I think I can take it on nicely.
Justine: Yes, that's confidence! All right then, tactics?
Joey: I'll use the flipper whenever possible and try to dump it down the pit.
Justine: Okay then, good luck in the arena.
Joey: Thanks.
(* * *)
Dan: The final is upon us, and we're down to two robots remaining in the heat: the seeded Gabriel and the rookie System Shock. What do you think of this match-up, Sam?
Sam: Well, both robots are very good and they have been successful in the past, so it's going to be a great battle.
Dan: Indeed it will be. However, I feel that System Shock has an edge here. Gabriel is an outstanding machine with the great big flipper, but I feel System Shock is much more aggressive.
Sam: I agree. Also, System Shock has a great pushing power. Gabriel indeed, is an amazing machine. It's got a flipper which has been extremely consistent and effective. However, don't forget, System Shock has got a secret weapon which is storing all the energy from the flywheel and incorporating that into the drive motors, unleashing 50mph slams on opponents.
Dan: So based on our decisions, it looks like we are going for System Shock to win this heat, eh?
Sam: It's going to be a very close battle, but yes. I think that System Shock will dazzle us all. So without further ado... shall we, D-Man?
Dan and Sam: LET THE HEAT FINAL BEGIN!!!
(HEAT FINAL!!!)
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome...
SYSTEM SHOCK!!!
A beast of a competitor, with a very STRONG pushing power.
GABRIEL V!!!
It reached the semi-finals once, can this machine do it two consecutive years?
Roboteers, Stand By...
There's Liam Eliot on the controls of System Shock in one booth, and Joey is in another booth driving Gabriel V. The house robot drivers are nowhere to be found... again. Meh. :lame: Anyway, the house robots for this heat final will be... Killalot with the pincers and lance, and also Mangled Metal with its lethal spinning ring.
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!
Now, silence has taken over the warzone. Just remember, this is for a place in the series semi-finals. As mentioned before, Gabriel has been there in the previous year, and looks good early on, as System Shock gets flipped over by the flipper! However, it does not affect the mobility, as it can run both ways up. Now, in comes System Shock, spinning its weapon up to full speed. This is a top-mounted, horizontal spinner, but what's interesting about the machine is the fact that it can incorporate the disc's power into the drive system using a clutch. Therefore, it can cause 50 mph slams against an opponent. System Shock now--
CRASH!
System Shock comes in with the flywheel and slams into Gabriel, and showers of sparks litter the arena! Nevertheless, no particular damage has been caused at the moment other than a dent. However, that will score points for the Welsh machine if this goes to a judge's decision. Now, Gabriel's flipper gets underneath System Shock and flips it back over on its right side up! System Shock now comes in on the attack! Here's System Shock getting under Gabriel's side and SLAMMING it straight into the saws! BZZZT! Sparks fly, and the audience is going crazy about it! Gabriel gets away from the saws but not from System Shock as it gets underneath again and SLAMS it right into the wall! OH, that has got to hurt! Gabriel gets away, and pursues System Shock! Now it pushes the Welsh machine right into Killalot's CPZ! However, System Shock is quick to get away; now, it slams into Gabriel's side and pushes it right into the saws! BZZZT! What power! System Shock certainly being fast and furious here, as it just slams the tenth seed into the saws! Now, here's Gabriel as it gets away from the saws, slams into System Shock's side and uses the flipper to flip it over on its back! Good attack there by the machine from Pontefract. Now, System Shock's disc spins up, and now it slams into Gabriel's side!
CRASH!!!
Sparks are flying, but no real damage is caused other than a small dent again. Despite this, that's a good attack by the machine from Wales. Now, Gabriel gets underneath System Shock's side, and tries pushing it into the spinning ring of Mangled Metal... but it just gets away in the nick of time! System Shock using good defense there to get away from danger. System Shock is quite fast, it can go up to speeds of 28 mph, so it's by far the more faster robot here. Meanwhile, Gabriel is also relatively fast, sporting top speeds of 16 mph. Now it's using that speed to catch up to the Welsh machine and carries it to the walls! Gabriel now puts its flipper to use, perhaps to stack System Shock up against the side wall, but no! System Shock is flipped back on its right side up, and gets away somehow! System Shock using its speed well here in this battle, and now it charges at Gabriel's side, and gets underneath! Now, it slams Gabriel right into... uh-oh, I've got a bad feeling about this--
CRASH!!!
The spinning ring of Mangled Metal absolutely belts Gabriel and sends it spinning away! Great attack there by System Shock, and Gabriel is dented on the side from the attack by Mangled Metal! That will catch the eyes of the judges, and System Shock is being aggressive and fast here! In my opinion, this has to be one of the fastest machines I've seen so far in this tournament, just look at it go! BUT WAIT! Gabriel gets right underneath the side of System Shock and flips it over! System Shock now spins up its disc, and slams into the side of the tenth seed with force!
CRASH!!!
Sparks fly and the audience goes wild about it! There is also a small dent, but not too visible. Good attack there by System Shock, nonetheless. Now, Gabriel fights back, and pushes System Shock towards the saws-- look out! BZZZT! Sparks are flying, and the audience is loving it again! System Shock gets away from the saws, but not from Gabriel! The tenth seed carries the Welsh machine into the wall and tries to stack it there! However, it doesn't really happen, as Gabriel flips the rammer back on its right side up! Now, System Shock somehow gets away... to press the pit button! Liam has had enough of this, it looks like, and he wants to end it all here and now! System Shock now slams into Gabriel and it's pushing the tenth seed ever so close to the pit... is it going to be over?! No, it doesn't go in! Gabriel just gets away from danger, and lives to fight again! Now, Gabriel getsa away and pursues System Shock, and gets underneath! It pushes the rambot into the saws and sparks fly! BZZZT! System Shock gets away, but Gabriel just simply won't leave it alone! Nothing makes the robots safe here! Uh-oh, now the machine from Pontefract starts pushing System Shock towards the pit of doom, and it's getting closer... BUT WAIT! System Shock manages to get away somehow! I honestly thought it was going to be over, but System Shock lives to fight another moment or two! System Shock has miraculously gotten away from danger, and now it chases Gabriel around the ring! Both robots are playing a bit of cat and mouse here, but System Shock has no trouble catching up to Gabriel with its speed! System Shock gets underneath Gabriel's side, and-- uh oh. System Shock is pushing Gabriel right into the ring of Mangled Metal! Gabriel tries to get away--
CRASH!!!
Gabriel just gets absolutely hammered by the deadly spinning ring of the house robot! Mangled Metal unleashes its fury on Gabriel, and now it is slightly limping... oh dear. BUT WAIT! Gabriel slams itself into System Shock's side, and flips it over on its back! Now, System Shock gets away from Gabriel momentarily but the tenth seed is being tenacious and just won't leave it alone! Gabriel gets underneath, and it is trying to shove System Shock down the pit! It's moving closer... System Shock, is it over... NO! System Shock makes another miraculous escape from danger! System Shock spins up, and slams into Gabriel...
CRASH!!!
Sparks fly and Gabriel has another very small dent on its side. Time is ticking down in this battle...
10... 9... 8... 7...
Now, System Shock spins up again...
6... 5... 4..
System Shock charges at Gabriel for a last time...
CRASH!!!
The sparks fly again, and a piece from Gabriel's skirt comes flying off...
3... 2... 1...
CEASE!
That will do it! Both of these robots fought valliantly, and now it's up to the judges' decision.
JD: System Shock / Gabriel V
Style: 2.4/5 / 2.6/5
Control: 2.4/5 / 2.6/5
Damage: 2.8/5 / 2.2/5

They are...
Hypertension VS Minesweeper 4 VS Axeon 4.0 (8)
Terrorhurtz VS Compression VS Sideswipe
Tactics, Predictions... and cookie dough ice cream :proud:
Minesweeper and Sideswipe to eat dust.
Cracking fights Mr. Park!
Sam: It's Heat M... which means there are only 3 more heats until the series semi-finals. Every episode is a step closer to finding out who will join the ranks of Archangel of the Abyss as the new champion! SO ARE YOU READY TO RUMBLE?!?!?!?!?!?!
(CROWD CHEERS)
Sam: Oh yeah, it's time to get it on! LET THE WAAAAAAARS BEGIN!!!
(BATTLE 1!!!)
From Bedford, Hypertension!
Hypertension is a newcomer to the competition, but it's had success in many other tournaments. The flipper packs a punch; one flip from this baby, and the opponent will be out in a jiffy! With a top speed of 17.6 mph, it uses good speed, and the hardox armour is very strong as well. However, the flipper has got only 15 flips, and also the manouverability is limited. Great machine, nonetheless.
From Texas in the USA, Minesweeper 4!
Minesweeper can shove anything and everything around in its way. The 4WD is great, and the two scoops on the front and on the rear were made for pushing opponents all day long, and it is also relatively fast at 15mph. However, it's got no real active weapons.
From Shrewsbury in Shropshire and the 8th seeded machine, Axeon 4.0!
Back in Axeon is the 8th seeds, very good in the previous year, looks to make another series semi-finals appearence. Its axe this time around has been made for bludgeoning, instead of penetrating. However, it's capable of causing great damage to opponents, and it is looking great indeed. Limited CO2 is the problem for this machine, but does that really matter? ;)
Roboteers, Stand by...
There's Mark and Matt AKA Zarte in one booth driving Minesweeper 4 and Hypertension respectively, and AJ is in the other booth driving Axeon. The house robots for this battle are... a vicious fembot with a nasty pink arse, and the big daddy of them all with the cutting disc and the jaws of death. Matilda and King Arthur, we choose you! :proud:
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!
Here we go as Refbot signals the start of the match with the green light. Now, Minesweeper comes in on Hypertension's side straight away, and rams it into the wall! Good aggression being shown by the Texan machine already. Minesweeper is very fast, it has 100 hp of pure shoving power, and it can run both ways up as well. Good machine, but now Hypertension fights back by flipping the rambot over! Axeon comes in as well, trying to hack Hypertension up with its axe, but no real damage has been caused because of its hardox armour. Axeon now pushing Hypertension right towards the saws! BZZZT! Sparks fly but Hypertension gets away with no real damage. Hypertension makes a beeline for Minesweeper's side now, and gets underneath-- OH! Minesweeper gets some great air-time, and comes down with a thud! What a flip that was! Minesweeper drives off like nothing ever happened. Matt smiles with satisfaction, and Hypertension drives towards Axeon, but Minesweeper comes in and crashes into Hypertension's side! Minesweeper shoves Hypertension right into Matilda's CPZ! Matilda's ready with the flywheel on her rear end!
CRASH!!!
Sparks fly, and Hypertension gets flipped over on its back due to the flywheel, but self-rights just like that. Hypertension gets away, but Axeon comes into the picture and slams into the side of the Bedford machine! It slams the axe down hard onto Hypertension, but the tough hardox armour is holding up very well to the attack. Axeon striking Hypertension again with the axe, but no real damage has been caused. Good attack there by the 8th seeds nonetheless. Hypertension gets away from Axeon, and now goes for Minesweeper! Minesweeper turns and avoids the flipper well. Now it tries to go for the sides of Hypertension... and it does! Now, Minesweeper shoves the machine from Bedford and SLAMS it right into the CPZ of Matilda! Hypertension trying to get away--
CRASH!!!
Great attack by Minesweeper, and Matilda's flywheel flips Hypertension over onto its back! Hypertension is self-righting easily, and gets away from there unscathed. Now, the seeded Axeon comes in, and puts its axe to good use on Hypertension... but only a tiny dent can be seen on it. Now, Matt looks like he can't take it anymore! He has had enough of this! He decides to retaliate by driving Hypertension towards Axeon's side, gettting underneath and carrying it towards the wall! Hypertension on the verge of making an upset here; Axeon is in real trouble, it's trying desperately to get away! Could this be it for Axeon?!?!
FLIP!!!
OH, that was close! Axeon just hangs on by the skin of its chinny-chin-chin! :proud: This would've been a pretty big shock if Axeon crashed out in the first round! Axeon lives to fight another moment or two! The 8th seeded machine from Shrewsbury fights back now by shoving Hypertension into the saws! BZZZT! Sparks fly madly, and the audience loves it! Hypertension gets away from the saws easily, but Minesweeper crashes into the Bedford machine! Minesweeper tries to push it into Matilda's CPZ, but it just gets away in the nick of time! Hypertension now comes in on Minesweeper's side and gets underneath somehow, and starts carrying it towards King Arthur's CPZ! Minesweeper tries getting away--
CRASH!!!
Nope... it did not happen, as King Arthur hammers Minesweeper with the flywheel! One of the skirts gets totally bent out of shape! This will mean that Hypertension will have an advantage... or does it?! It certainly does not stop Minesweeper from fighting back and slamming Hypertension into the side wall with a tremendous amount of force! OOF! That's gonna leave a mark. Now, Hypertension gets away from the walls, but Axeon comes in and slams its axe down with huge force! However, no real damage is caused other than a miniscule dent. Hypertension's hardox armour is really holding up well; good attack by Axeon nonetheless. Minesweeper now charges at Hypertension, but the machine from Bedford does a good job of avoiding the front scoop of the Texan machine. Now, Hypertension goes for the side of Minesweeper, and gets underneath! Now it darts for the side walls and it's taking the Texan machine with it! Hypertension looking great in this battle, looking to dispose of Minesweeper now! Axeon trying to charge at Hypertension to save Minesweeper, and Minesweeper tries to get away-- BUT NO! One final flip and it's out of there! Minesweeper is on the camera tracks, and it's over and out-- BUT WAIT! Hypertension presses the pit button, and goes into Matilda's CPZ! Now, Matilda is flipped over, and Hypertension shoves Matilda out of her CPZ, and closer towards the pit-- BOOM! Down it goes! Matt and Andy are going nuts up there! Refbot is not amused at all, and gives Hypertension a yellow card... but Matt doesn't like that one bit! Hypertension gets under Refbot and-- HAHAHAHAHAHA! Refbot gets dumped into the pit as well! Ah man, now I've seen everything. :proud:
CEASE!
Minesweeper gets swept out of the competition.
Hypertension and Axeon goes through to Round 2!!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sam: Welcome back to RoboBash, where we get to witness the next three robotic warriors smash each other to bits.
(BATTLE 2!!!)
From Great Britain, Compression!
wcomer, but never to be underestimated. It can go up to 25mph with two LEM-130 motors powering the drive. The barbed wedge on the front is hinged which means it can flop over if the machine is onto it's back and still get underneath other bots. The main feature is a huge set of claws to grab opponents and send them into oblivion. Barbs on the front wedge and pincers is always a deadly combination. Powerful and manuverable, this machine is a force to be reckoned with, it looks like.
From Hoogvilet in Holland, Sideswipe!
Here we have the Dutch entry, waiting to swipe opponents into oblivion with a HUGE front blade, spinning at a mind-blowing 6000RPM! The blade is looking deadly, and it can also self-right with it. However, the problem with it is that it might take a long time to self-right, and the armour is also pretty questionable to me.
From Oxford, Terrorhurtz!
Arguably one of the best axe robots in Robot Wars, Terrorhurtz made a great run all the way to the Grand Final of the 6th wars. The axe is mighty powerful, and it can be used to self-right the machine if need be. However, it has limited gas on board, and sometimes, an issue of unpredictable bouncing... if you know what I mean. :proud: Great machine, though.
Roboteers, Stand by...
We can see that Lewis and Leo are in their control booth, driving Compression and Sideswipe respectively, and there is Lian Walsh driving Terrorhurtz in his control booth. The house robot drivers... are nowhere to be found again. I'm guess we will never see them, wherever the heck they are. :lame: Anyway, the housies for this battle will be Napoleon Botaparte with the PSYCHOTIC pushing power, and Dead Metal with the deadly sting of the saw.
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!
They are off again! Terrorhurtz with the dangerous axe zooming in on Compression, and starting to axe it up! Compression getting punished by the axe of Terrorhurtz early on in the battle, but it gets away now. Sideswipe with the blade, looks pretty dangerous. Staying out of trouble at the moment... probably waiting to see which one to attack. Now, Compession gets under the side of Terrorhurtz, and now Terrorhurtz is in its clutches! Terrorhurtz fires the axe frantically trying to get itself out of there, but it can't really seem to do so! Now, Terrorhurtz is in trouble, as it gets shoved into... oh no, I don't like the direction this is going...
CRASH!!!
Too late. Compression shoves Terrorhurtz right into the deadly blade of Sideswipe... OUCH. Terrorhurtz sustains damage to the armour, and Sideswipe's blade looking good early on. Terrorhurtz now slams into the side of Sideswipe, and fires the axe-- OH! Look at that! Sideswipe gets some damage caused, there is a hole in the armour caused by the axe of Terrorhurtz! Good attack by the former grand finallist of Robot Wars. We have seen what its axe can do in Robot Wars, and there it is again! Axing up Compression, and there are dents in the armour! Compression gets away with some damage courtesy of Terrorhurtz's axe! Look at that... Terrorhurtz, what a mighty axe! It all started in the 5th wars, where it got beat in the second round by Fluffy. However, in the 6th wars, we all know what happened. Terrorhurtz beat the likes of Bigger Brother, Panic Attack, and Spawn Again and made an amazing run to the Grand Final--
CRASH!!!
... but now, Terrorhurtz gets slammed by Sideswipe's blade with massive force, and gets spun away! Good attack there by the Dutch entry, coming in with the blade, and it crashes into Terrorhurtz with great force! Terrorhurtz slightly limping now, but has no problems with speed. Now Compression comes in on Terrorhurtz and gets it in its clutches once again, and pushes it into the saws! BZZZT! The audience loves it, and Terrorhurtz gets away, trying to go for Sideswipe's side! Terrorhurtz gets there even before the blade gets up to full speed, and whacks it with the axe, and again! Look at the damage caused here! Sideswipe sustains damage and there are some big dents in the armour! By golly, Terrorhurtz's axe is deadly, indeed! BUT WAIT! Compression crashes into Terrorhurtz and gets underneath! Terrorhurtz is in trouble from the rookie as it gets shoved right into Dead Metal's CPZ! The house robot welcomes Terrorhurtz with arms wide open! :proud: The saw comes down hard on Terrorhurtz! BZZZT! Goodness gracious, that sounded more painful than a dentist's drill! Terrorhurtz gets away from Dead Metal, but not from Compression as it continues pursuing the axebot! Now, Terrorhurtz avoids the front of Compression carefully, and now it goes for the side of Compression, and axes it up! Oh man, look at that-- BUT WAIT! Sideswipe is spinning up here, comes in on Terrorhurtz, and SLAMS into it with the blade without any warning whatsoever! This doesn't look good...
CRASH!!!
Yes... he did it anyway. Terrorhurtz gets absolutely belted by the blade of Sideswipe and is spun away upon contact! Terrorhurtz sustains even more damage to the armour, and now limping even more! I think that caused damage to the innards of Terrorhurtz as well as the exterior. My goodness, Sideswipe's blade is deadly indeed! Now, Terrorhurtz goes for Compression again, trying its best to show that it can still put up a good fight! Now, Compression gets axed by Terrorhurtz again, but gets away. Compression now comes in on Terrorhurtz, getting it into its clutches! It's got a solid grip on Terrorhurtz, and the machine from Oxford is in trouble here, as it gets pushed closer into the blade of Sideswipe, and at the same time, Sideswipe drives into Terrorhurtz, blade spun up to full speed with great force! This doesn't look good...
CRASH!!!
OH!!! Sideswipe's blade just belts Terrorhurtz again, and it looks to be in all sorts of trouble here... but it gets away, and slams into Compression once again, and axes it up, and Compression has dents on its top armour. Now, Compression gets away from the axe! Compression turns and it's getting underneath Terrorhurtz! Now it brings the pincers into action, and Terrorhurtz is in trouble again! Terrorhurtz fires the axe frantically to get away from there! Sideswipe spins up, and Lewis drives Compression into Sideswipe's blade, taking Terrorhurtz with it! At the same time, Sideswipe drives towards Terrorhurtz again! This doesn't look good at all...
CRASH!!!
OH MAN! Terrorhurtz is taking some brutal punishment from the 6000RPM blade of Sideswipe! The Oxford machine just gets brutalized by the blade... and Terrorhurtz is still alive, it looks like... although it's heavily limping. The axebot is trying to show some sign of life by driving towards Compression, and firing its axe down! Compression gets away with another small dent in the armour, but now, it slams and gets underneath Terrorhurtz, and now... it drives Terrorhurtz into the saws! BZZZT! The audience loves it... and the close up camera shows that one of the tires have been cut by the saws! Let's have a look at it again on the replay... yes, it was one of the tires! Now, Terrorhurtz can't really seem to get away, and it is still in the clutches of Compression. Now, Terrorhurtz gets sent to-- oh no, I've got a bad feelling-- NOT THIS AGAIN!!!
CRASH!!!
ZOMG!!! The Oxford machine is spun away from the attack, and it doesn't look good for the Oxford machine... Terrorhurtz is not moving freely at all. In fact, it's running in circles, going nowhere fast. It's totally disabled on one side, and I think that Sideswipe's blade caused more trouble to the inside of the machine. Refbot realizes that the time has come to do his everyday duty. The count is on!
1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8... 9... 10!!!
Terrorhurtz is out of it! Lian puts his controls down and claps for Leo and Lewis. Now, the house robots can come and do their duty on Terrorhurtz, and Dead Metal comes in with the saw! BZZZT! Oh man, that sounds absolutely painful! Napoleon Botaparte now places Terrorhurtz... ON THE DROP ZONE?!?!?! House roboteers, please... have some MERCY! Too little too late now, as a photocopier is about to be sent crashing down on Terrorhurtz! All three roboteers do the countdown with the audience!
10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... CRASH!!!
The photocopier just slams down from 36 feet above the arena, and now, the end is nigh for Terrorhurtz, as it gets pushed onto the pit square by Dead Metal, and finally Napoleon presses the pit button, and Terrorhurtz slowly... goes... down. BOOM! BUT WAIT! It looks like Sideswipe isn't done just yet, as it spins up and crashes into the photocopier...
CRASH!!!
... and the photocopier is absolutely shredded! Great stuff we've seen here!
CEASE!
Terrorhurtz's reign of terror is no more.
Compression and Sideswipe go through to Round 2!!!
ROUND 2 LINE-UPS
Hypertension VS Compression
Sideswipe VS Axeon 4
Tactics, Predictions... and a six-pac set of Pepsi. :proud:
Interesting.
Hypertension Mk 3.5 vs. Compression
Hmm. I might have to go with Compression here. Flat sides against an invertible crusher with wedge protection...
Sideswipe vs. Axeon 4.0
Axeon's armour is too tough, moving on...
Justine: All right, Matt. How is Hypertension doing?
Matt: It's still in good shape for the most part.
Justine: Great to hear. Right, so Compression is your opponent for this battle.
Matt: Very good robot, so I think it's going to be a tough battle. I think I can take it on quite nicely, though.
Justine: Tactics?
Matt: Straight in, straight out.
Justine: That was simple. :proud: Right then, good luck in the arena.
Matt: Thank you.
Justine: All right, Lewis. Hypertension is your opponent for this battle! What do you think about that?
Lewis. Crap! :proud: I'm screwed here, I think.
Justine: Hahahaha! Come on, be a little more optimistic!
Lewis: Well, Hypertension is like Gravity or Chaos 2 on steroids, so I could end up out of the arena well quick.
Justine: Hopefully that won't happen. Anyway, tactics?
Lewis: Do my best to avoid the front, and get underneath with the wedge, maybe try and snag a wheel hole with the barbs, clamp it up and push it to the house robots, and the pit. Also, if I can coax the flipper to open somehow, I can get inside and break something. It's not gonna be easy though, I'm sure as heck about that.
Justine: All right then, best of luck in the arena.
Lewis: Oh, I'm gonna need plenty of it, all right. :proud:
Justine: Hahahaha!
Sam: This is where the maniacal machines do some REAL fighting. It's time for some one-on-one action... LET THE SECOND ROUND BEGIN!!!
(BATTLE 3!!!)
Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome...
HYPERTENSION!!!
My personal favourite to win the heat. The flipper has been very effective so far.
COMPRESSION!!!
Kan-Opener on steroids, in my mind. The pincers are able to cause some good damage.
Roboteers, stand by...
There's Matty Fowler aka Zarte driving Hypertension in one booth, and Compression being driven by Lewis Matthews in the other booth. Both robots are very good. So are the house robots. This time, they are going to be the hammer bots: Mr. Psycho with the hammer and grabbing hands, and Head Smash with the explosive hammer which has WAY more power than Niklas Kronwall's punishing hits. OUCH.
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!
They are off! Compression with the pincers, looking good in its previous battle. The same can be said for Hypertension, as it just launched Minesweeper clear out of the arena. Compression tries playing the brave fool, and crashes into Hypertension's front! Now, the two wedges cancel each other out, but it's Hypertension who gets underneath first and launches Compression up into the air! Compression crashes back down with a thud, still on its right side up; it slams into the rear of Hypertension and gets underneath with the hinged wedge! Now it clamps the machine from Bedford and starts carrying it towards the saws! BZZZT! The sparks fly, and the audience goes crazy about it! Hypertension gets away, and now, the Bedford machine crashes into the side of Compression and carries it towards the wall! Hypertension wants to end it all here--
FLIP!!!
But no! Compression lives to fight another moment or two! Compression is still on its right side up, and now has got a bead on Hypertension! Compression now chasing after Hypertension... Compression the more faster out of the two machines that we have here. It can go up to 25mph and it has good manuverability. Meanwhile, Hypertension is also fast and furious, and it's capable of going up to a top speed of 17mph. Now, Compression slams into Hypertension and it gets underneath the side! Now, the pincers go to work, and clamps up Hypertension... and now it's going towards Head Smash's CPZ... but Hypertension escapes JUST by the skin of its chinny chin-chin! :proud: The Bedford machine drives away and now it pursues Compression, gets underneath and-- OH MAN, what a flip that was! That sends Compression soaring up in the air onto its back, and the hinged wedge flops over, which means it can still be used when the machine is overturned. Compression is now gunning for Hypertension, and gets under the side of it! Now, it clamps up Matty's machine using the pincers, trying to push it into Head Smash's CPZ, but Hypertension gets away just in time! Good defense there by Hypertension. Matty looks like he wants to end it all here, now he drives Hypertension into Compression's side! Now, it gets underneath, and Compression is trying to get away... it's being carried towards the wall again by Hypertension...will this be the end for Compression?!
FLIP!!!
Close but no cigar as Hypertension almost gets Compression out of the arena, but not quite. Good attack by Hypertension though, and Compression is still on its back. This is a very good battle in the making here; good show of aggression by the two robots. I'm enjoying this very much, and this battle could likely go the distance, and end up in a judges' decision. I can't really decide who is winning here. Both robots are doing extremely well despite the fact that they are newbies here in this competition. Hypertension now crashes into Compression, and gets underneath the side, and FLIPS Compression over! It's back on its right side up, and it's chasing Hypertension again! Both bots playing a little cat and mouse here, but Compression gets under the rear of Hypertension, and clamps it up! Now, Hypertension is pushed into the saws! BZZZT! Sparks are flying, and the audience goes nuts about it. Good attack by Compression, that will catch the eyes of the judges. Lewis smiles with satisfaction, but it is short-lived. Hypertension gets away and slams into Compression's side! Now, Compression is in trouble again, as it's being carried into the CPZ of Head Smash-- but gets away! It only JUST gets itself away from danger! Lewis drives Compression away from the CPZ. He can't take much of this anymore, it looks like! He has had enough of this and he wants to end it all here! He drives his machine into the pit button, and that, of course, opens the pit of doom. Now, Compression pursues Hypertension, slams into the and gets underneath with the hinged wedge! It clamps it up and starts pushing Hypertension towards the pit! Can it get away-- YES! It does get away, only JUST! To be honest, I don't REALLY know how the heck it managed to get out. :crazy: Good attack there by Compression nonetheless and also a good defense by Hypertension. These robots, as I have said before, have been doing extremely well in this battle. Now, Hypertension gets underneath the side of Compression and carries it towards the saws! BZZZT! Those lovely sparks fly again, and the audience is going all crazy about it! Now, Compression gets away from the saws but not from Hypertension, as it just keeps on hassling Compression and won't leave it alone! Now, Hypertension gets underneath again, and carries Compression closer to the pit! Is it over?! NO! Fortunately not, as Compression JUST gets away from there! Now, Lewis breathes a sigh of relief, and now he drives Compression towards Hypertension and pursues it! Compression now gets underneath with the hinged wedge and clamps Hypertension in its clutches! Now it starts pushing the Bedford machine into the CPZ of Head Smash! Hypertension trying to drive away, it's in peril here! Oh no, it does not look good at all--
CRASH!!!
Head Smash lets Hypertension know that it doesn't belong there! Hypertension gets absolutely levelled by the hammer, and what a hit that was! That was a heck of a hit by Head Smash's explosive hammer! Can you believe it?! Hypertension gets away... surprisingly enough, courtesy of the tough hardox armour! Now, Hypertension chases after Compression, gets underneath, and it's shoving Compression towards the wall! Compression tries to get away... could this be the end?!
FLIP!!!
NO, it is not! Compression survives and lives to fight another day! Both robots exchanging attacks in this battle, and they are doing very well indeed! Hypertension being harassed by Compression right now, and Compression gets underneath Hypertension using the hinged wedge! Now, Compression clamps Hypertension up, and takes it for a ride directly to the CPZ of Head Smash! Hypertension trying to get away desperately here... its wheels are spinning frantically...
CRASH!!!
The hammer of Head Smash comes down with massive force, and absolutely levels the machine from Bedford once again! One word, OUCH! Compression doing great in the battle here against a formidable opponent in Hypertension. Now, Hypertension is limping only slightly, I think there was damage caused to it from the hammer blow by Head Smash earlier. It's not having problems with speed, though. Both bots pursuing each other... and Hypertension gets underneath Compression, and carries it to the wall again--
FLIP!!!
But again, it does not go out! Compression comes back in the arena with a thud, still on its right side up! It survives miraculously to fight another moment! But now, the time is running out...
10... 9... 8... 7...
Compression pursues Hypertension and gets underneath, clamping it up...
6... 5... 4...
Compression starts pushing Hypertension closer to the pit... Hypertension tries to drive away...
3... 2... 1...
... and it does! Time has run out!
CEASE!
An epic battle this was by two great robots, and it goes to the judges!
JD: Compression / Hypertension
Style: 2.4/5 / 2.6/5
Damage: 3.0/5 / 2.0/5
Control: 2.3/5 / 2.7/5
Aggression: 2.4/5 / 2.6/5
Total Score: 10.1/20 / 9.9/20
Hypertension gets compressed by a 0.2 point margin in a judge's decision. :shock:
Compression goes through to the Heat M Final!
I think that final judges' decision is getting a little too overused, lol.
Still, you're doing a good job here, Sam. :)
Hello all, long time no see. I finished a tiring semester of school with endless amounts of schoolwork, exams and papers. Clearly I had no time to do this. I sincerely apologize for that.
Anyways, here's the rest of Heat M.
(* * *)
Justine: Right then Leo, you are up against... the seeded Axeon! What do you think about that?
Leo: Hmm... Axeon, eh? I really don't know how this battle is going to go, but it'll be fun, that's for sure.
Justine: Well, hopefully it will go well. Tactics?
Leo: Slam it to hell with the blade, and hope for the best.
Justine: ... and what do you think about Andy?
Leo: Great guy, builds great robots, highly respect him. However, respect is nothing compared to victory. :proud:
Justine: Haha, all right then. Good luck.
Leo: Thank you.
Justine: Here's Andy and Axeon... this just in, you are up against Sideswipe! What do you think?
AJ: Hmm... I was hoping for a different opponent but I think I can win here.
Justine: That's the spirit! What's your tactic going to be for this battle?
AJ: Axe it to hell. Nuff said.
Justine: Haha. What do you think about Leo?
AJ: I have a huge amount of respect for that guy, but I will do my best to claim victory.
Justine: All right, good luck in the arena.
AJ: Thank you.
(BATTLE 4!!!)
Ladies and Gentlemen... please welcome...
SIDESWIPE!!!
AXEON!!!
Roboteers, stand by...
Let's have a look now, Leo van Miert is in the first control booth driving Sideswipe, and Axeon is being driven by Andrew Jackson in another control booth. As for the drivers of the house bots... well, they are nowhere to be found... AGAIN. :lame: Anyway, the housies for this fight will be Shunt with the deadly axe and the lifting scoop and also Mindbender with the spinning hammers of DEATH.
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!
So, the battle gets under way here, as Refbot gives the start signal. Immediately, Sideswipe gets the blade spinning up to speed here. However, Axeon plays the brave fool, and slams into Sideswipe with all its might! Sidewsipe at the same time, slams into Axeon's front, blade spun up to speed!
CRASH!!!
The collision is massive, and both robots go spinning away! Sparks are flying like crazy here, and that's a good attack! Axeon is virtually undamaged, and it continues pursuing Sideswipe! Axeon now crashes into Sideswipe and gets the axe down hard on the top armour! The axe makes a hole in the armour of Sideswipe, and that's a good attack there by the 8th seeds! Axeon was a semi-finalist last year, beating MacDuff in the heat final. Now it's trying to make it to the series semi-finals for a second year in a row. However, now Sideswipe drives in on Axeon, dodging the axe and crashing into the side, blade spun up!
CRASH!!!
That is a heck of a hit, and both robots go spinning away once again here! This is a good battle here by both machines, and there is a scratch in the armour of Axeon! However, no internal damage is caused, and Axeon still lives to fight another moment or two. Axeon now crashes into the side of the Dutch machine, and gets the axe down with massive force! Now, the axe makes a hole through the armour, and Axeon pushes Sideswipe into the saws! BZZZT! The sparks are flying and I can tell the audience loves that! However, Axeon releases the axe now, and Sidewsipe is able to get away! Sideswipe starts to spin up its weapon... and slams into Axeon with massive force! Axeon tries to avoid it...
CRASH!!!
Nope, it didn't happen. Sideswipe's blade causes sparks to fly and both robots are spun away due to the force of the impact! Axeon however, is undamaged, in spite of the tough armour. Axeon now moves in on Sideswipe and crashes into its side, and now it fires the axe down! The axe whacks Sideswipe with the force of a jackhammer! Now, the Dutch machine is being pushed into the CPZ of-- OH NO!!!
CRASH!!!
OH MY GAWD! The collision is MASSIVE, indeed! Holy mackinaw, can you believe it?! Mindbender just absolutely belts Sideswipe with its spinning hammers! Sideswipe just goes spinning away out of control with a huge gash in the armour! Sideswipe is limping now, possibly because the hammers of Mindbender caused damage to both the outside and inside of the machine. Now, the Dutch machine's weapon is still working, and it's spinning up! Now, Sideswipe slams into Axeon's side with it!
CRASH!!!
The sparks fly but very limited amount of damage has been caused to the armour, and now Axeon fights back! Andy drives Axeon right into the side of the Dutch machine, and gets the axe down! Sideswipe tries to get away, but Axeon is trying to push the Dutch robot right into... oh no, NOT THIS AGAIN!!!
CRASH!!!
The slam is massive, as Axeon shoves Sideswipe right into Mindbender, and now the Dutch machine is absolutely belted again by the deadly spinning hammers! Can you say, OUCH?! Sideswipe loses some armour in the process, and it is now limping heavily and severely handicapped. Oh dear. This doesn't look good at all for the Dutch machine... Axeon gets its axe down on Sideswipe once more... and Sideswipe takes a ride on the saws! BZZZT! Sparks fly, and the audience loves it. Sideswipe, meanwhile, is in all sorts of trouble here. Now, Axeon pushing Sideswipe into-- oh dear, I've got a bad feeling about this... I CAN'T BEAR--
CRASH!!!
OH! MY! GAWD!!! That hit by Mindbender is UNBELIVABLE, and what a collision it was! That was simply just monumental, and Sideswipe gets spun away out of control here! Sideswipe loses some more armour, totally disabled in one side... oh dear, it's running in circles and has nowhere to go. Refbot, knowing that the time has come to do his everyday duty, comes in and gives the last rites.
1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8... 9... 10!!!
Sideswipe is out of there! A brilliant machine this was; kudos to Leo for bringing in such a great robot here. Leo puts his controls down now and starts clapping for Andy, and he is a great competitor, no doubt. Now, the house robots come out and have their fun. Shunt comes in and axes Sideswipe's armour with the diamond-edged axe. Mindbender nudges the pit button, and Shunt pushes Sideswipe closer to the pit... and it's gone, Sideswipe is in the pit now-- BUT WAIT! Axeon doesn't look like it's done just yet! Uh-oh, Axeon is going after Shunt now, and starts whacking it with the axe! Shunt tries fighting back but Axeon's axe attacks are relentless, and now, Axeon pushes Shunt into the pit. Leo is absolutely enjoying this scene up in his booth. Aw man, now I've seen everything!
CEASE!
Sideswipe gets swiped out of the competition.
Axeon goes through to the Heat M Final!!!
HEAT FINAL
Axeon (8) VS Compression
Justine: Hi Lewis, I've got some good and bad news.
Lewis: OK, what's the bad news?
Justine: You are up against Axeon.
Lewis: What's the good news?
Justine: If you win, Compression will win the heat and move on to the series semi-finals.
Lewis: OK... hmm. Axeon, eh? Well, I'll get underneath with the barbed wedge, clamp it up, and push it towards the house robots, the pit, and all that kind of jazz. It will be difficult, but it's not impossible, so we'll see what happens. I'm willing to do everything I can to nab the victory.
Justine: Well, hopefully you do well. Good luck.
Lewis: I appreciate it.
Justine: Well, AJ, the time has come for the heat final. You are up against... Compression!
Andy: Compression, well... thank God it's not Hypertension. But yeah, I think it will be a real good battle... but it's not going to be easy, that's for sure. Compression has the pincers. Those pincers with the wedge, that combination is wickedly dangerous. So avoiding the front is probably the way to go here.
Justine: All right, tactics?
Andy: Well, avoid the front, like I said. Get to the sides and rear of the machine and axe it to hell, probably.
Justine: You think you can defeat Compression?
Andy: I don't really know, but even if I don't make it, I won't be disappointed, because Compression is one heck of a great machine. I'll just do my best here.
Justine: Well, hopefully Axeon puts out a good battle. Good luck.
Andy: Thanks.
(* * *)
Dan: Hmm... so what do we think about this battle? Compression with the hinged wedge and pincers, and Axeon with the deadly axe. Compression to me, is more of a dark horse. It's quick at a top speed of 25 mph, and when you combine that with the wedge and pincers, it's a deadly combination. However, Axeon is also quick and has a great pushing power. The axe comes down with a force of a jackhammer, and it's also got one heck of a tough armour. Who do I go for? I can't decide right now. But anyway, let's go and see what happens here!
(* * *)
Sam: We started off with six robots, but now... it's only down to two robots. We've reached the boiling point of the competition; prepare yourselves! IT'S THE HEAT FINAAAAAAAL!!!
(HEAT FINAL!!!)
Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome...
AXEON!!!
That axe can come down with a heck of a lot of power. Very good machine indeed.
COMPRESSION!!!
Driven by Lewis Matthews, the pincers can be a real devastating weapon.
Roboteers, Stand by...
Let's have a look at the control booths; there's Andy Jackson with the controls of Axeon in one booth, and Lewis Matthews is in the other booth, and he is driving Compression. The house robots in this heat final battle will be from the metal family (:proud:): Mangled Metal with the deadly spinning ring, and also Dead Metal with the pincers and the 3000RPM spinning sawblade.
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!
We have activate, and they're off! The heat final is between two very good robots in Axeon and Compression. So far, four rookie machines have been able to escape the heats: GBOD, Eye of Ran, Delirium Tremors and the most recent one being System Shock in the previous heat beating 10th seeds Gabriel. Will Compression join them as the fifth rookie machine to win a heat? Now, don't forget, Axeon has already gone to the series semi's last season, and it's trying to make it two consecutive years in a row. Axeon now gets its axe down on Compression here, and making a dent in the armour. That's a good attack there by the 8th seeded machine. Now, Compression tries to fight back, and crashes into Axeon! Compression is getting its pincers to work, and now it slams Axeon into the saws! BZZZT! Sparks are flying, and the audience goes crazy about it! They sure do love those sparks, don't they? :proud: Anyway, Axeon gets away and drives into Compression's side, and fires the axe down! Compression being pushed into the CPZ of Dead Metal! The house robot welcomes Compression with open arms! :proud: Dead Metal now brings down the 3000RPM sawblade! BZZZT! Oh man, that sounded more painful than a dentist's drill! Compression gets away, and it is doing very well here. It is a newcomer, but it's an awesome machine, I can tell you that now. The pincer has a lot of power in it, and the machine also can go up to 25 mph. Axeon is a great machine as well, as it has a devastating axe, good pushing power, and tough armour to go along with it. Axeon now comes in on the attack on Compression's side, and slams into it! Now, it gets the axe down! It makes a nice dent in the armour, but Compression is oblivious to it! Compression gets away, and now it slams into the side of Axeon and gets underneath! Compression puts the pincers to work again, and Axeon is in trouble as it gets carried into the CPZ of-- oh no, I don't like where this is going... IT WOULDN'T!!!
CRASH!!!
Yes... he did it anyway. Mangled Metal unleashes the fury on Axeon, and the 8th seed is sent SPINNING away there, and the sparks are flying... and Axeon is still okay, and lives to fight another moment or two! Compression is doing very well, like I said, even as a newcomer. However, Axeon slams into Compression now, and gets the axe down! Axeon now starts shoving Compression into the CPZ of Mangled Metal... uh-oh, this doesn't look good-- BUT WAIT A MINUTE! Compression makes a miraculous escape, and gets away JUST barely! Lewis sighs with relief, and Compression now fights back by getting underneath the machine from Shropshire, and it's carrying it towards the saws! BZZZT! Flurries of sparks are littering the arena floor, and the audience is loving it! Now, Axeon gets away, and it slams into the side of Compression again! The Shropshire machine lets its axe down onto the armour of Compression, and slams it into-- OH MY GAWD!!!
CRASH!!!
The sparks are flying as Mangled Metal unleashes its fury on Compression with its spinning ring! Man, that hit was HUGE! Compression is okay somehow, and still continues to battle! Now, Compression is pursuing Axeon relentlessly and slams into it! Compression is getting underneath now, and clamps Axeon in its clutches! Now, it slams Axeon right into the arena saws! BZZZT! Even more sparks are flying now, and Compression is doing very well here against an experienced machine in Axeon. Don't forget, Axeon won its heat last time, beating MacDuff in the Heat M Final. Compression meanwhile, is a rookie, but it has a nasty attitude. It also made the dreaded Hypertension crash out in the second round in a judges' decision. Both machines have got the potential to go far this time around. Axeon with an axe blow to the top of Compression, making a dent there. Axeon causing some damage here, and now, it fires down the axe again on Compression, and pushes it into the CPZ of Dead Metal! The house robot welcomes Compression again, and greets it by holding it in its clutches and bringing that dreaded saw down! BZZZT! Sparks are flying and the audience is going crazy about it again! Compression gets away from Dead Metal, but not from Axeon as it just keeps on bugging the heck out of the newbie! Axeon gets its axe into play here, and whacks away on Compression! Now, it pushes Compression towards Mangled Metal... but Compression gets away just in the nick of time! Compression is able to get away now, and Lewis looks like he can't take it anymore! He is fed up with being pushed around, and he decides to drive Compression towards the pit button! Yawning open is the pit, with the siren and everything. Goodness me, that siren sends chills down my back. Now, Axeon slams into Compression, and axes it up! Now, it starts going towards the pit and taking Compression with it! Compression is in trouble as Axeon wants to end it all here-- BUT WAIT A MINUTE! Compression JUST BARELY escapes! That was good defense there by the newcomer, as it just gets away from the pit by the skin of its chinny-chin-chin! :proud: Now, Lewis drives Compression towards Axeon, and gets underneath the side of it! Now, it clamps Axeon up, and pushes the 8th seeds into the CPZ of... uh-oh, this doesn't look good at all... Axeon trying desperately to get away...
CRASH!!!
Lord have mercy, that is one heck of a hit! Huge amounts of sparks are flying, and Axeon gets absolutely belted by Mangled Metal's spinning ring and spins away out of control! A dent can be seen in Axeon's armour, and it is now limping, as well. I think that caused some damage to the inside as well as the outside of the machine. However, that doesn't stop Axeon from slamming into the newbie and letting its axe down! Axeon rushes towards the pit, taking Compression with it... trying to end it all-- BUT WAIT! Compression makes yet ANOTHER miraculous escape! To be honest, I don't know how it managed to get away... :proud: Compression now rushes towards Axeon, and clamps it up! Now, it is dragging the 8th seeds towards the saws! BZZZT! Now, Axeon gets away, but limping even more... I think that the saws caused damage to one of the wheels. Let's have a look at the close-up camera here... yes, it has! The saws did cause a little bit of damage to the wheels! Axeon and Compression are still duking it out here, and this is a great battle we are seeing here so far! Axeon goes whackidy-whack-whack on Compression with the axe again here! Compression gets away now, and slams into the side of Axeon! Now, it pushes Axeon towards the pit... is it going to be another upset?! NO! Axeon manages to get away, ONLY JUST! I swear, I have no idea how that happened. Lewis can't believe it in the control booth, he's speechless! Axeon gets away now, and axes up the newcomer Compression again! Good aggression shown by last year's series semi-finallist. Compression now slams into the side of Axeon again, getting underneath with the wedge and clamping it up with the pincers! Axeon being pushed towards the pit now... the 8th seed in peril here, is this going to be the end?! BOOM! It's all over! Axeon falls in, and Compression is off to the series semi-finals! Andy puts the controls down, smiles and claps for Lewis. As for Lewis, he smiles triumphantly. Well done to both competitors!
CEASE!
No semi-finals for Axeon this time around.
Compression goes through to the series semi-finals!
(End interview)
Sam: AJ, you were so close!
Andy: Yeah, but I'm not really disappointed. Compression is a heck of a great machine; let me tell you that.
Sam: What went wrong in there?
Andy: Well, I think that he was just too powerful for me, and the machine had the pincers and the spiked wedge combo. Man, it's hard to get out of there.
Sam: Aw well, is Axeon coming back for more?
Andy: Oh you bet. I'm going to make a few modifications to it and come back.
Sam: All right then! Ladies and gentlemen, this is a fantastic competitor, AXEOOOOOOON!!!
(CROWD CHEERS)
Sam: Well Lewis, you have waited for so long, and now you finally did it!
Lewis: I sure did, and I'm looking forward winning more battles.
Sam: Yes! That's what we like to hear. What did you think about the battle?
Lewis: Being in battle with a superb machine like Axeon was difficult, but I did my best, and had a great time.
Sam: Axeon is definitely a superb machine indeed. You think you'll go all the way?
Lewis: Yeah, I have confidence.
Sam: ... and confidence is what we like here! Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for the winner of Heat M... COMPRESSIOOOOOON!!!!
(CROWD CHEERS)
Sam: We will see you next time when six more robots clash on Heat N of RoboBash! Good night!
(Crowd cheers, Andy, Lewis and Sam all shake hands)
Next Time...
The sixth seed, previously known as Aftershock, comes back to cause some more destruction in the new form known as 7ROUBLOON! Will it get blown away, or will it cause more trouble and mayhem to its opponents in the warzone?
Yes, I'm still giving tactics/prediccies for this. :P
Heat N
Holepunch 2.0 VS Cry with the Saints VS Hydra
Leo should pierce his way to victory relatively easily here. I think I'll pick Hydra to pit CwtS.
Wheely Big Cheese VS Final Resting Place VS 7roubloon (6)
Calculating FRP's kJ output, I think Liam was just throwing numbers around, but I won't speak for him. :P I do however suggest that we team up on WBC. Or I'll tackle him alone, whatever. In any case, I'm far more destructive than Hypno-Disc with either disc and am invertible, so flipping me will do zilch-o.
Glad to see you haven't given up the ghost yet Sam. :)
Hello all. I was just wondering, has anyone seen Zarte around here lately? I need his stats for Cry with the Saints and BIACS-ident. If not, can I just use BIACS by Popular Demand and one of his other vapours?
I would just say to put a BYE in place of Cry With The Saints and have the remaining two robots go through from that, and then yeah take the stats for BIACS By Popular Demand.
I did try to contact Zarte about it half an hour ago but he's not responding.
(Note: Hydra and Holepunch have a bye to the next round... Zarte did not have his stats for Cry With the Saints)
Sam: Welcome back to the competition, as we get on with our second battle of the evening. Three more machines are ready to go out into the battlefield, but one is about to meet its doom.
From Somerset, Wheely Big Cheese!
The legendary flipper is back! Wheely Big Cheese has good titanium armour, which is strong and sturdy. The main feature is the HUGE flipper which is one of the biggest in Robot Wars, and believe me, this thing packs a punch. If you don't know what I'm talking about... just check out what it did to Axe-Awe in the 5th Wars. :P Exposed wheels are an issue, but you gotta get past the flipper first! :shock:
From Wales, Final Resting Place!
Yipe. This looks pretty scary to me; a brilliantly made machine, with a deadly spinning rim similar to Deldog from the UK VS Germany Series from Robot Wars Extreme Series 2. Very powerful, with the weapon packing a PUNCH, and the robot is invertible, making it extremely dangerous. However, exposed wheels are an issue as with all the invertible bots, but try getting past the weapon. :P
From Toronto in Canada, and the 6th seeded machine, 7roubloon!
Last year's most original entry, Aftershock is back in its new form! Completely rebuilt this season, 7roubloon looks like it means serious business in this tournament. With its two flywheels that spin at 2000 RPM and its 4WD, this machine can cause a serious amount of damage. However, the spin-up time is somewhat slow, and the wheels are exposed as well. Great machine nonetheless.
Roboteers, stand by...
There's Liam and Kody in one control booth driving Final Resting Place and 7roubloon respectively, and also Wheely Big Cheese being driven by Tracy in the other booth. The house robot drivers are again, nowhere to be found, as they are hiding somewhere secret. Wherever it is. :lame: In this battle, the house robots will be Sir Killalot with the spear and pincers, and the big daddy of them all, King Arthur with a flywheel which has way more power than Chara's thundering slapshot.
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!
Off we go, and already the two spinners, Final Resting Place and 7roubloon both gets up to speed here. 7roubloon looks stunning indeed, and so is Final Resting Place, with its spinning rim of fury. Wheely Big Cheese meanwhile, is going for 7roubloon, gets underneath and FLIPS it over! What a flip that was, as the 6th seeds go soaring 7 feet in the air! Man, that was an absolutely huge flip indeed! Huge air time for 7roubloon, but no real damage has been caused to the machine. Good attack by the Robot Wars veterans. Now, Final Resting Place takes exception to that, and SLAMS into the Cheese's right side, full speed ahead!
CRASH!!!
The forecast calls for flurries of sparks, can you believe it?! Man, that's a great hit right there! Wheely Big Cheese has been spun away from the attack, and Final Resting Place already looking dangerous here, my goodness! The Cheese drives away with slight damage, but 7roubloon comes in and slams into the left side of it now! The Cheese trying to get away from danger here...
CRASH!!!
Nope, didn't happen. The wheel takes punishment, as there is a slit in it already. Wheely Big Cheese gets away, and now goes for Final Resting Place... getting underneath and FLIPPING it over! Man, that was a big flip by the two-time semi-finallist of Robot Wars, but Final Resting Place is okay with no apparent damage caused, and now 7roubloon gets into the action and crashes their party! The 6th seed has spun up to full speed and now it goes for Wheely Big Cheese's wheel--
CRASH!!!
Oh man! Sparks are flying and look at the wheel! There is a gash in it, and now Wheely Big Cheese in trouble here, as it suffers some damage. Huge attack there by 7roubloon. Will that be a decisive factor if this battle goes the distance and it's left in the hands of the judges, I wonder? Final Resting Place now spinning up to full speed-- goodness me, the ring is spinning so fast, that you can't even see the blades on that thing! Final Resting Place now slams into the Cheese's side again... The Cheese tries getting away...
CRASH!!!
Ouch, that has to hurt! Now the wheel is damaged even more as it takes a beating from the spinning ring of the Welsh machine. Final Resting Place is looking deadly indeed, and it is clearly doing a great job here. That ring puts out a lot of power, and it shows-- WHOA! 7roubloon gets tossed by the flipper of Wheely Big Cheese, and it comes back down with a huge thud! 7roubloon drives off like nothing ever happened, and just shakes off the attack. We all know the success its previous incarnation, Aftershock has had in this competiton. Last season, it escaped the heat stages by beating Wedga in the Heat B Final. It also came very close to reaching the grand final, only to be put in the pit by Clawdius. However, it won the award for the most original entry in the competition. Wheely Big Cheese, meanwhile is somewhat limping around the arena. This machine has had success in the past; we all know what happened with this machine in the 5th Wars. This machine is famous for flipping Axe-Awe CLEAR out of the ring. That could've easily been one of the biggest flips in Robot Wars history, if not the biggest. However, it is in trouble now, as 7roubloon collides with the wheel of the Robot Wars veteran! Wheely Big Cheese tries to get away...
CRASH!!!
Oh my GAWD! Wheely Big Cheese absolutely gets clobbered by the lethal spinning flywheel of the Canadian machine there! The wheel has been damaged very badly, just look at that gash! Wheely Big Cheese is taking a sheer beating out there! Wheely Big Cheese now does not look like it is moving very well-- uh oh, Final Resting Place spins up, and-- my goodness, that ring is spinning so fast, that it's almost moving in a blur! Now, it gets ready to slam itself right into Wheely Big Cheese again... the Somerset machine trying all it could to flee from danger--
CRASH!!!
.... and that is a CRUSHING HIT! What power! Wheely Big Cheese is receiving no end of trouble as Final Resring Place and 7roubloon won't leave it alone at all, and OH MAN! LOOK AT THE WHEEL! My goodness, that thing is absolutely buckled, and now the two-time semi-finallist of Robot Wars is moving in circles with one side completely disabled. Oh dear... Refbot knows his time has come to count the Cheese out.
1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8... 9... 10!!!
Wheely Big Cheese is out of there! Tracy puts the controls down and claps for the opponents. The house robots move in for the kill now, and Sir K pushes Wheely Big Cheese onto the floor flipper, and now we will see Wheely Big Cheese soar in t-minus 3... 2... 1... FLIP! The Robot Wars veteran soars up in the air and comes crashing down back on the arena floor! Now King Arthur... oh no, this doesn't look good... HE WOULDN'T!!!
CRASH!!!
The Robot Wars veteran is receiving horrendous punishment here, goodness me! The pit release has been activated, and now, the Cheese is about to get dumped here by King Arthur as it grabs hold of the beaten machine with the jaws and starts driving towards the pit, and finally Wheely Big Cheese gets dumped into the abyss. BOOM!
CEASE!
Wheely Big Cheese has been grated into submission.
Final Resting Place and 7roubloon go through!
Round 2 Draws
7roubloon VS Hydra
Final Resting Place VS Holepunch
Tactics, Predictions, and Comments?
Keeping the forum alive, one great battle at a time! Good work, Samuel. :)
7roubloon VS Hydra
To get to actually attack me, he has to get by the discs. I can just keep turning to keep a disc facing him while the other disc spins back up after a hit. Generally keep hitting him until he dies, and avoid the pit and house robots.
Final Resting Place VS Holepunch
Holepunch for a pit please!
errrm, me no like crushers. So spin up, keep a good distance, and make my attacks nippy and devastating - get them in where I can, but never let him get a hold of me... if I can help it anyway :P good fights Samueeeel
Did you miss me? :proud:
I'm still continuing on with this tourney. I finished another hectic semester in school, thank God that's over...
Battles will be coming soon, so stay tuned!
Justine: All right Kody! The draws are made now. You know you're doing battle with?
Kody: No, I don't actually, who am I against?
Justine: You are pitted against Hydra!
Kody: Hydra? Wow, what an easy opponent. :proud:
Justine: Good to see you're so confident. Anyway, what are your tactics?
Kody: Well, just spin up and KILL the darn thing. Be all over it like a pack of fire ants.
Justine: Hopefully you do well. Best of luck in the arena.
Kody: I appreciate it.
Justine: Lian! How's it going?
Lian: Good, but I have a bad feeling my opponent is not going to be very nice... who am I up against?
Justine: The 6th seeds, 7roubloon.
Lian: Oh crap, I had to ask. Twin discs of terror. That's not going to be very fun... yeesh.
Justine: Come on, be a little more optimistic! Haha, anyway, tactics?
Lian: Just avoid the discs and whack it with the axe. Be aggressive as I can be, but it won't be easy, that's for sure.
Justine: Well, hopefully, you'll do well. Best of luck.
Lian: Thank you.
(* * *)
Sam: The three way melees in Round 1 are nothing compared to what we're gonna see now. Get prepared... FOR ROUND 2!!!
(BATTLE 3!!!)
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome...
The 6th seeds... 7ROUBLOON!!!
Very deadly discs, 4WD, man... this machine is pretty much a 13 Black on steroids.
HYDRA!!!
Lost in the Heat Final of the 6th Wars to Dominator 2, if memory serves. How will it fare here?
Roboteers, stand by...
There's the awesome Kody Kunz on the controls of 7roubloon, and the magnificent Lian Walsh at the controls of Hydra in the other booth. House robots are always brutal, and they will be Sgt Bash with the flame thrower and the lethal claw, and Mindbender with the great big spinning cage... looks deadly, innit?
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!
(Commercial break!!!) :proud: :proud: :proud:
BATTLE COMING SOON
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!
Refbot's green light signals the start of the match and they're off! 7roubloon spins up to speed, and Hydra is trying to avoid the flywheels here. Hydra actually made it to the Heat Final in the Sixth Wars, only to be finished off by Robot Wars fan favourite Dominator 2. Hydra now slams into the side of 7roubloon, and slams its hammer down! That didn't really cause much damage at all, but Hydra will score points on the attack... good aggression early on being shown by the 3-time Robot Wars veteran. However, 7roubloon spins up and slams into Hydra with the fully spun-up flywheel!
CRASH!!!
That causes sparks to fly, and a dent can be seen in Hydra's armour. That's good attack there by the 6th seeded machine, as it sends Hydra spinning away. Hydra takes exception to that, it doesn't like it one bit! Now it retaliates and slams into 7roubloon; now it sends the Canuck machine into the saws! BZZZZT! The sparks fly and the audience is loving that, aren't they? Now, Hydra still on the attack, as 7roubloon is away from the saws but not from Hydra as it slams the discbot right into the CPZ of Sgt. Bash where 7roubloon is grabbed by the lethal pincers! 7roubloon tries to get away and it does eventually. Hydra is going to score points on the attack there, and 7roubloon is spinning up relentlessly, as it has a bead on Hydra, and Kody is sick of being pushed around, it looks like! He doesn't want to be attacked, he wants to attack Hydra! Oh no--
CRASH!!!
Oh baby, that hit sends great sparks flying across the arena! As the flywheel crashes into Hydra's side, the attack causes a huge amount of sparks to fly, and there is a dent on the side of Hydra! 7roubloon seems to be gaining momentum steadily here, the Canadian machine having a nice and even battle with Hydra. Now, it spins up again, and it slams into the side of the former Robot Wars heat finallist! Hydra tries to get away...
CRASH!!!
... and it didn't happen. That did not go according to plan, and look at the damage caused to it! Hydra has a gash in the titanium armour, and spins away into Mindbender's CPZ! Uh-oh, this doesn't look good... Hydra trying desperately to get away here... Mindbender spinning up!
CRASH!!!!!
That did not go as planned either for Hydra! My goodness, the power of the spinning cage is massive, as it spins Hydra away, with Hydra losing armour in the process! That has to hurt... can you say, OUCH?! Now, Hydra is in massive trouble here, it looks like. Its limping is very noticeable although it's still hanging on. 7roubloon is now moving in on Hydra, and tries slamming into it using the flywheel! Hydra trying to get away...
CRASH!!!
Hydra is just spun away by the force of that collision, but surprisingly trying to hang on! The armour has a gash in it due to the previous attack by 7roubloon. Now, Hydra is trying desperately to slam into the side of 7roubloon and attack the side of the 6th seeds... and it does! It fires the axe and it makes a slight dent in the top armour... not too visible though. Hydra now attempts to flip over 7roubloon and it does! However, 7roubloon is invertible; it is completely oblivious to the attack, and gets away like nothing ever happened. Its spinning discs start rotating at high speeds. Now, it crashes into the side of Hydra!
CRASH!!!
Hydra is again sent spinning across the floor, but it's still managing to hold on! Kody wants to end it all here, and spins up... BUT WAIT A MINUTE! Hydra plays the brave fool, and slams into it! Hydra now pushes the 6th seeded machine onto the saws! BZZZT! Sparks fly and the audience loves it, and now 7roubloon gets away from the saws, but not from Hydra! It flips over 7roubloon back on its right side up using the lifter, and good aggression being shown there by the former Robot Wars heat finallist. Now, 7roubloon starts spinning up the weapon to full speed again, and the cutting discs are spinning so fast, that you can barely see the blades now! Oh my goodness, now it drives off and quickly SLAMS into Hydra with brutal force!
CRASH!!!
OH!!! Hydra just gets absolutely slammed by the spinning disc of 7roubloon with a HUGE shower of sparks! Good Lord, that noise was frightening, indeed! Hydra is in very bad shape here, oh dear... this does not look good. Hydra is limping heavily, but it is somehow alive... only just. Hydra comes in on 7roubloon's side and axes the Canadian machine up before the discs are spinning up to full speed! 7roubloon gets away from the axe of Hydra... and spins up to full speed! Now it goes for the jugular on Hydra... and slams into the former heat finallist of Robot Wars! Hydra tries to turn away...
CRASH!!!
Hydra is taking some horrible punishment out there... and the flywheel clobbers the left side of Hydra and rips some armour off! Some of the titanium armour is ripped away there... and it's safe to say that 7roubloon has won this match. Hydra is just getting absolutely brutalized out there, it's running in circles with nowhere to go... Refbot knows what that means, and the countout is on!
1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8... 9... 10!!!
Hydra is out of there! Lian claps for Kody, and now, Hydra is about to take even more punishment from the house robots. Mindbender spins up and slams into the right side of Hydra... OH NO!!!
KERRASH!!!!!!!
OH MY GAWD!!! That hit sends the machine from Oxfordshire spinning away and losing some more armour in the process! Look at that... just ripped away there! I tell you what, Hydra did pretty well in this battle, using the deadly axe well. However, the twin discs of terror on 7roubloon proved to be more damaging... and now Mindbender slightly nudges the pit button, and we all know what this means. Sgt. Bash lines up the beaten Hydra near the pit, and Mindbender starts nudging it towards the pit... and it will... go DOWN. BOOM! Well done to both teams, but WAIT A MINUTE! It looks like 7roubloon is spinning up for some reason... why is it-- OH NO. This does not look good at all... IT WOULDN'T!!!
CRASH!!!
Sgt. Bash gets CLOBBERED by the flywheel of 7roubloon, and loses some armour... OUCH. Meanwhile, Lian is absolutely enjoying this scene up in his booth... Sgt. Bash, on the other hand, not so much. :proud:
CEASE!
Hydra decides to hang on in there, but eventually gets the heave-ho.
7roubloon (6) is off to the Heat N Final!
Nice battle Samuel. :) Hope you can carry the torch from now on. :)
Holepunch VS Final Resting Place
Justine: Well Leo, the draws have been made, and you're up against... Final Resting Place!
Leo: Not really sure how I'll do here... but I'll do my best.
Justine: Yes! Any tactics you have?
Leo: Crunch down before it gets up to speed, and using that to my advantage, I'll take it to the house robots, and the pit.
Justine: OK, how confident are you?
Leo: Well, I'm willing to do everything I can to be victorious, but it's not going to be easy... so I'm not THAT confident, to be honest.
Justine: Hopefully you do well. Good luck in the arena.
Leo: Thank you.
Justine: Well Liam, I have just gotten the news about who you're up against. It's Holepunch!
Liam: I'm not too fond of crushers being my opponents, but I think it's going to be a good battle.
Justine: All right, what are your tactics gonna be?
Liam: Rip and shred... try to avoid the front, if he tries to come at me with the crusher, drive away until I reach top speed.
Justine: Great! Now, you think you can beat Holepunch?
Liam: Not really, but I'd like to do my best.
Justine: All right, hopefully you give it your best shot. Good luck in the arena.
Liam: Thank you.
(BATTLE 4!!!)
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome...
HOLEPUNCH!!!
FINAL RESTING PLACE!!!
Roboteers, stand by...
Well, there's Leo van Miert as he is driving Holepunch in the first booth, and Liam Eliot is in another booth as he is on the controls of Final Resting Place. As for the house robot drivers... well, they're in their secret place. Wherever the heck that may be. Meh. :lame: The house robots are Mangled Metal with the spinning ring of death, and the king of the Robot Wars house robots, Mr. Psycho with the sledgehammer and the hands of terror.
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!
Let's begin! Refbot gives the green light. Holepunch and Final Resting Place, two very different robots here, duking it out for a place in the heat final. I really like the look of both these robots, really capable of causing destruction and carnage. Final Resting Place starts to spin up, and as Holepunch approaches, it drives away to continue spinning up to full speed. Worthy tactic being shown by Liam, and now Final Resting Place slams into the left side of Holepunch, and the Dutch machine tries to turn away...
CRASH!!!
Nope. The slam sends Holepunch spinning away, with a dent in the armour there! Good attack there by the Welsh machine, but Holepunch fights back! It gets underneath Final Resting Place and clamps it tightly in its grasp! The Welsh machine can't get away from the grip as Holepunch slams it right into the saws! BZZZZZT! Oh man, those saws are causing sparks to fly like heck! The audience is going crazy about it, and that's a good attack by the Dutch machine. It's still got Final Resting Place in its grasp, and now it shoves Liam's machine into the CPZ of Mr. Psycho, and the hammer comes BLASTING down! Good Lord, I would not want to get pounded by that hammer, and the sound is frightening! Fortunately though, the Welsh machine comes out virtually unscathed, and starts spinning up, but Holepunch gets there first before it spins up to full speed! Final Resting Place trying to get away, but Holepunch has Liam's machine in its grasp! Now, Holepunch slams the machine into the saws again! BZZZZZT! Sparks fly and the audience seems to love what they see in the arena here! Both robots fighting with sheer brutality and aggression in reckless abandonment here. Final Resting Place gets away somehow, and spins up and gets away from Holepunch again, to fully spin up to speed! Now, Final Resting Place crashes into the side of the Dutch machine!
CRASH!!!
That was a brutal hit as Holepunch absolutely gets hammered by that spinning ring! Now, Holepunch is still able to move freely somehow, and it gets underneath the spinbot again, and clamps it down hard! Now it barges in and shoves the Welsh spinbot into the spinning sawblades! BZZZZT! The sparks are flying, and the audience loves it! Now, Holepunch still has a good grip on Final Resting Place, as it carries the machine from Wales into Mangled Metal's CPZ, but it gets away just by the skin of its chinny-chin-chin! Now, Final Resting Place gets spinning and gets away from Holepunch! It slams into the Dutch crusher with huge force!
CRASH!!!!!
OHH! Hard hit there by the Welsh machine; Holepunch just gets clobbered by the deadly spinning ring! A dent can be very visible in the side of Holepunch, but that does not stop it from chasing after Final Resting Place in vehement pursuit! Holepunch now pursuing Final Resting Place with reckless abandon, and gets there before it has a chance to fully spun up to speed! It crunches down and starts going towards Mr. Psycho's CPZ and taking Final Resting Place with it! Uh-oh, the hammer comes crashing down, and the Welsh machine gets absolutely clocked! Now, Holepunch finally gets go of Final Resting Place, but some damage has been caused to it... not that significant, though. This is a great battle we're seeing here, and Holepunch continues chasing after Final Resting Place. Meanwhile, Liam is spinning his bot up to speed, BUT WAIT! Holepunch actually gets there before the spinner has come up to full speed! Now, it has a grip on the Welsh machine, and it slams into the pit release button! The pit is activated and Leo wants to end it all here! It starts pushing the Welsh spinner ever so close to the pit! BUT WAIT A MINUTE!!! A miraculous escape has been made by Final Resting Place! To be honest, I don't know how the heck it managed to escape at all. However, it survives to fight another moment or two! Now, Holepunch slams into the Welsh robot with force and clamps it up! It slams into Final Resting Place and slams it into the saws again! BZZZZZZT! Holepunch still has a good grip on Final Resting Place, and the Welsh machine is in trouble, as it gets ever so close to the CPZ! Holepunch starts pushing the spinbot into Mangled Metal's CPZ! Final Resting Place is trying its absolute best to get away, but it can't seem to do so here; this does not look good! Uh-oh...
KERRASH!!!!
OH MY GAWD!!! That hit is MONUMENTAL! Final Resting Place gets spun away out of control, and it's still moving somehow... BUT WAIT A MINUTE! Has the weapon ground to a complete HALT?! It certainly looks as if its weapon has stopped spinning! I think that the energy output was too much for the internal components... oh dear. Holepunch now gets underneath the Welsh machine, and carries it to-- oh no, I've got a bad feeling about this... it's pushing it towards Mangled Metal! Final Resting Place tries to do something about this...
CRASH!!!!
Too late to do anything now, as Final Resting Place is absolutely PUMMELED by the spinning ring of the house robot. Final Resting Place put out a valliant effort, and it was a brilliant machine, but now, it's running in circles, totally disabled on one side. Holepunch has a few big dents and scratches on its side due to the attacks, but it will survive to fight another moment. As for Final Resting Place, its death is imminent, as Holepunch gets underneath the Welsh machine, shoves it towards the abyss, and finally disposes of it... and it's over. BOOM!
CEASE!
Final Resting Place has been laid to rest in the pit.
Holepunch goes through to the Heat N Final!!!
Heat Final
Holepunch VS 7roubloon
Tactics? Predictions? Anyone?
Justine: Right Leo, you've already got GBOD in the series semi's. Can Holepunch do it?
Leo: I'm not really sure but I would like to do my best to get there again.
Justine: All right, awesome. This just in, you're up against the seeded 7roubloon!
Leo: Not really sure how I'll do against twin discs of death, but I will grab hold of it, and try to feed it to the house robots to get it softened up, and I'll dump it down.
Justine: ...and how confident are you now?
Leo: I'm not sure what may happen out there, but I'm feeling fairly confident about this battle.
Justine: All right then, good luck in the arena.
Leo: Thank ye.
Justine: All right Kody, you are up against... Holepunch! How do you feel about that?
Kody: Great robot, it's gonna be a heck of an awesome match.
Justine: What are you gonna do in the battle? Any battle plans?
Kody: Well, spin up first of all, and just avoid the front crusher, and try to get in as many hits I can.
Justine: Awesome. You think you can win this heat?
Kody: Well, I'll see what happens. I'm willing to do anything that I can to nab the victory.
Justine: Great to see you're confident. Good luck in the arena.
Kody: Thanks.
(* * *)
Dan: Right, so we've seen two robots make it this far. Quite an interesting match-up, eh Sam?
Sam: Quite true. Spinner against crusher. The thing that I like about these robots, is the fact that they are very maneuverable.
Dan: Right you are, Sam. Also, they have dangerous and lethal weapons which can cause a lot of damage. What do you think about the battle?
Sam: I'm thinking that this will be a very even match-up. Don't be surprised if this goes the distance all the way to a judge's decision.
Dan: It will be a great battle, and we will see what happens.
Sam: Yes we will, so without further ado... shall we, D-Man?
Dan and Sam: LET THE HEAT FINAL BEGIN!!!!
(HEAT FINAL!!!)
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome...
HOLEPUNCH!!!
7ROUBLOON!!!
Roboteers, stand by...
Holepunch, the mighty crusher, is being driven by Leo Van Miert, and 7roubloon is being controlled by Kody Kunz, and the flywheels are very lethal weapons. The house robots are also very lethal; in this final battle of Heat N, we are accompanied by Dead Metal with the deadly sting of the 3000RPM saw, and the big daddy of them all, the gruesome, the unmerciful, the barbaric... King Arthur. On the other hand, the house robot drivers are nowhere to be found... again. :lame:
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!
*COMMERCIAL BREAK* :proud: :proud: :proud:
(BATTLE COMING SOON)
Use the front disc until it gets slowed down, then turn and use the rear disc until my front disc is back at full speed. Aim for his corners. This way, he'll have a hard time controlling me.
Yes, I'm still continuing on with this tourney. :P
(* * *)
Bang a gong, we are on! Silence has stormed the arena, and they're off! So far, the most recent seed to win its heat was 11th seed Psyclonizer, and that was all the way back in Heat F. However, none of the seeds after Heat F have escaped the heat stages. Will 7roubloon have the same fate here? 7roubloon spins up, and both robots are looking to destroy and kill each other. Holepunch tries getting underneath 7roubloon, but it turns and gets away just in the nick of time. Holepunch valliantly pursuing the 6th seeded machine... now, it gets underneath, and gets its mighty crusher into play. Holepunch's weapon has a huge amount of power, and it's looking like it's very effective. Now, 7roubloon gets pushed towards the saws and sparks are flying! BZZZZT! The audience loves it, and 7roubloon gets away now. Good aggression shown early on by Holepunch here. Now a dent is visible in 7roubloon's armour. 7roubloon, with discs spinning up, and crashes itself into Holepunch, avoiding the crusher!
CRASH!!!
7roubloon clobbers the machine from Hoogvilet and Holepunch is sent spinning away there! Good attack by 7roubloon, as it puts the disc to good use; it was known as Aftershock in the previous year, looking very impressive with the Barberous-like design, and with spinning hubs as well. Very lethal, as it defeated the likes of Supreme Glory Gamma, Wedga and Gabriel. It looked like it might go all the way, winning Heat B, but E Clawdius Unum stopped it dead in its tracks in the second round of the series semi-final. 7roubloon looking great here in this heat, ripping Hydra apart in its previous battle. It wants to prove why it is one of the seeded machines in the competition, as its discs are spinning madly, and crashes into the side of the crusher from Holland!
CRASH!!!
WHOA! Holepunch has been hit hard by the flywheel, and it is sent spinning away! Now, the people want more carnage, and Holepunch gets underneath the sixth seeded Canuck, and slams it into the saws again! BZZZZT! The sparks fly, and the audience is going crazy as ever! Now, 7roubloon gets away from the saws, and spins up its discs! Oh man... now Kody has got a mischievous grin on his face and he drives 7roubloon right into the Dutch machine! Holepunch tries to turn with the crusher...
CRASH!!!
Nope, Holepunch tries to counter the attack with its crushing claw, but gets slammed by the flywheel weapon of the Canadian robot! Good attack there by 7roubloon, and Leo may be getting impatient here, he wants to end it all right now! The Dutch machine slams into 7roubloon, and now it starts shoving the discbot into the CPZ of King Arthur... and it gets away and makes an unlikely escape! Now, Kody spins up the flywheels on his machine, and slams into the crusher from Hoogvilet with tremendous force!
CRASH!!!
My goodness, what a collision! Holepunch spins away into the CPZ of King Arthur... but it gets away before the house robot could do anything with it Holepunch gets away from the danger zone and nudges the pit button! Now the put goes down with the siren, and we know that someone might be dumped in there pretty soon. Holepunch now getting underneath the machine from Canada, and clamping it down with the weapon! Now, it starts to push 7roubloon ever so close to the pit of doom! Is this it for the 6th seeded robot... OH! How in the world did he manage to drive away from that?! Kody escapes JUST BARELY from the danger zone! Now, he spins the discs up on 7roubloon, and slams into the newbie! Oh my, this will not end well...
CRASH!!!
The impact of the attack spins Holepunch and 7roubloon away slightly, and now look at the damage that 7roubloon has caused Holepunch! There are dents in the side of the Holland machine, but now it fights back! Holepunch has driven into the side of 7roubloon, avoiding the twin discs! Now, it tries again to dispose of the 6th seeds by pushing it slowly towards the pit! BUT WAIT! 7roubloon has made another MIRACULOUS escape! How on earth he managed to do it, I will never know... that is a tremendous amount of determination that Kody has got! Awesome defence there, and now it spins up again, and SLAMS into Holepunch once more, this time with the rear disc!
CRASH!!!
Holepunch spins away right onto the saws! BZZZT! Talk about damage, and now another dent can be seen in the armour of the Dutch newbie! Good attack there by 7roubloon, and this has been a great battle so far in the making here by both bots! Holepunch now drives towards the Canadian machine, gets underneath, and slams 7roubloon into the saws! BZZZZT! Now, sparks are flying, but it's not done yet! Holepunch feeds 7roubloon into Dead Metal, and the house robot welcomes Kody's bot with open arms! Down comes the 3000RPM serrated spinning saw blade on 7roubloon! BZZZZT! The forecast calls for massive flurries of sparks littering the arena! The audience is loving this scene, but now 7roubloon gets away, being as maneuverable as possible, and now it spins up! 7roubloon is now slamming into the sides of Holepunch again!
CRASH!!!
The spinning disc clobbers the heck out of Holepunch here, and look at the damage! Scratches and dents can be seen on the sides of Holepunch, and meanwhile, 7roubloon has some dents on the armour due to the previous attacks by Holepunch. Fantastic battle we're seeing here so far... and now 7roubloon again spinning up both discs. Time is running out, however, for both of these robots, and the countdown is on!
10... 9... 8... 7...
CRASH!!!
The discs of 7roubloon collide with the armour of the Dutch machine Holepunch, and yet another scratch is made in the armour!
6... 5... 4... 3...
Now Holepunch slams and gets underneath 7roubloon, clamps it up and starts shoving it towards the pit of doom! Now, will it all end here?!
2... 1...
CEASE!!!
NO!!! It's going to the judges, but what a fight that was! Both robots put on a heck of a great show and it's truly one of the best battles I've ever seen in this series of RoboBASH, but now it's time for the judges to decide the final results!
7roubloon / Holepunch
Style: 2.4/5 / 2.6/5
Control: 2.5/5 / 2.5/5
Damage: 2.9/5 / 2.1/5
Aggression: 2.3/5 / 2.7/5
Total: 10.1/20 / 9.9/20
Holepunch couldn't punch a ticket to the next round.
7roubloon (6) moves on to the Series Semi-Finals!!!
(* * *)
Sam: Oh Leo, you made it to the heat final, but you came up just short.
Leo: Yes, it's disappointing to lose, but what's done is done.
Sam: Ah well. Do you agree with the judges?
Leo: For the most part, yes. I do agree that he caused more damage to me.
Sam: His discs are very damaging indeed. Well, you've been an awesome competitor. We loved having you, and we hope Holepunch can return.
Leo: Oh you bet.
Sam: All right then! Everyone, let's all give it up for HOLEPUUUUUUNCH!!!!
(CROWD CHEERS)
Sam: Well, looks like another one of your machines is going to the semis.
Kody: Yes indeed.
Sam: What was your tactic?
Kody: Just simple stuff, avoid the front and do the good ol' crash and bash.
Sam: Well, it looked very effective indeed. Congratulations on winning the heat, how far will 7roubloon go this time?
Kody: Well, I'll see what happens, but for the most part, I'm confident that I'll go all the way.
Sam: Sheer confidence and determination shown here. Ladies and gentlemen, here's your winner for Heat N, put your hands together... THIS IS 7ROUBLOOOOOOOOON!!!
(CROWD CHEERS)
Sam: Tonight, six brave and valliant robot warriors have clashed, but 7roubloon proves itself worthy of winning Heat N of RoboBASH! Good night!
Next time on Heat O... the 4th seeds, Steve McGregor will return with a brand new machine, and five other machines are willing to dethrone the seeds! They are MacDuff, Magnitude, Loki, Chaos 2, and BIACS by Popular Demand!
MacDuff the 5th VS Magnitude VS Loki
Chaos 2 VS Mornington Crescent (4) VS BIACS by Popular Demand
BE THERE!
Sweet!
I believe my tactics for Macduff were going to be ganging up with Magnitude on Loki. Or just attack Loki anyway. :P Get rid of that annoying spinner first.
I'll be using the plate set-up, by the way. Shove Loki into nasty things. Particularly Magnitude's nice flipper.
Good job Sam. :)
yay its back
Hello all, I'm back for the time being... too much schoolwork has been getting me down as usual. Some battles will be posted here very soon so stay tuned and watch this space.
You've had a lot of schoolwork for quite a while, my friend. Are you currently in college/university?
Regardless, good to hear you're back. :)
Hello all. I'm back after finishing another year in college. Hopefully, I'll be able to post here a little more frequently from now on. I have the first round of Heat O right here.
(* * *)
Sam: Tonight, it's Heat O, which means there is only one more heat after this one until the series semi-finals. With each episode, we are getting very close to finding out a new champion, a robot that will be with the ranks of the former champion, Archangel of the Abyss. We have got some great matches coming your way this evening and the crowd is ready to begin the destruction, AREN'T YOU, GUYS?!
(CROWD CHEERS)
Sam: Yes, the crowd knows that all hell could break loose tonight. So, without further ado... LET THE WAAAAAAAAAARS BEGIN!!!
(BATTLE 1!!!)
From Toronto, Ontario, MacDuff the 5th!
MacDuff was beaten by Axeon after a hard fought battle last year in the Heat M Final. The lifting forks are great, and the six-wheel drive is not so shabby either. This could very well be a machine to be reckoned with. The interchangable set-ups also prove to be very useful (in this battle, MacDuff will be using the ramming plate), and the tough armour ensures that there will be plenty of protection as well. So how far will this machine go this time? We'll find out!
From Pontefract, in Yorkshire, Magnitude!
Magnitude is a newcomer, but not to be underestimated. This machine is a monster with a huge rear hinged flipper powered by gas, and a small four-bar lifting weapon on the front as well. The armour is also very strong, and it's very maneuverable as well, but limited gas could be the weakness here as with all flippers powered by pneumatics. Good machine nonetheless, and it is my personal favourite to win this heat.
From Great Britain, Loki!
This looks very frightening to me... good lord, what a deadly looking blade that is. That thing spins with the help of two S28-400 magmotors, and spins up to 3000RPM. Definitely a monster of a machine, and looks absolutely devastating. However, it's got a weak base armour and it is also a slow self-righter, but overall, this is an amazing machine with a deadly blow.
Roboteers, stand by...
All right then, the crowd is sitting on the edge of their seats, waiting for action. In the first control booth, we have Kody Kunz and Joey McConnell driving MacDuff and Magnitude respectively. The other one has Lewis Matthews at the controls of Loki. The house robot drivers... well, I don't even have the slightest clue of where the heck they are. :lame: But anyway, the house robots will be Sgt. Bash with the lethal claw of death and the flamethrower, and the big daddy of them all, King Arthur with the jaws and the flywheel... my goodness gracious, look at the size of that monster.
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!
The Refbot signals the start of the match, and they're off! Magnitude is the first to move, and goes after Loki, but it does a good job of evading the front somehow. Loki is spinning up to full speed. Meanwhile, MacDuff is looking very good here, with the six-wheel drive, and the anti-spinner plate. Immediately it darts for Loki before it gets up to full speed, and rams it into the wall! That's a good tactic there by Kody, as his machine shows good aggression. Loki gets away, and now it spins up to speed here. It slams into the side of MacDuff!
CRASH!!!
That attack sends MacDuff spinning away there, and what a good attack it was! No real damage caused here, just a small dent and a good display of sparks. That is sure to catch the judge's attention. Magnitude now chasing Loki around the ring here, very good new machine by a veteran player in Joey McConnell. Joey of course, has a machine in the semi-finals already in Eye of Ran with the devastating rotary weapon. We saw it causing some very serious damage to its opponent's wheels. Now, will Magnitude be another one, I wonder? Magnitude gets under Loki, and a mighty flip on Lewis' machine there! Loki is tossed into the air and tumbles back onto its wheels. Now Loki comes out unscathed from that assault... and now, it comes back on the attack, spinning up to speed. MacDuff is charging at Loki now and slams into the machine before it can reach full speed, and SLAMS it right into the saws with massive force! BZZZZT! Oh, sparks galore! How lovely. The audience goes nuts about it! What power from last year's heat finallist, as it shoves Loki into the saws! Loki gets away from the saws and spins up to full speed! Now, it avoids Magnitude's front, and slams into the but not from MacDuff... as it charges at Lewis' machine and slams it right into the CPZ of King Arthur, who is ready with the nasty rear end!
CRASH!!!!
... and that is a CRUSHING hit! What a collision there as King Arthur's cutting disc absolutely gives it to Loki, and it is tossed away violently after the impact! Loki looks alright, as the weapon is still spinning, and now it gets away from the CPZ, but not from MacDuff as it is giving Loki no end of trouble! MacDuff now slams the spinner right into the saws again! BZZZZZT! Sparks are flying like heck, and now Loki is continuously being pestered by MacDuff! Magnitude also crashes their party and slams into Loki, and flips it onto its back! MacDuff now slams into the spinner, and where is Loki being taken to... oh no, Kody has that look on his face. HE WOULDN'T!!!
CRASH!!!!!
OH MY GAWD!!! That is an absolutely CRUSHING hit as MacDuff slams the spinner right into King Arthur's cutting disc! What a hit that was, as it tosses Loki back onto its wheels! Even after taking punishment, somehow, the weapon is still able to work. Loki has spun up to full speed, and slams into the side of Magnitude with full power on the blade!
CRASH!!!
Sparks are flying everywhere, and this place has gone bananas over it! Good attack there by Loki, and now it spins up again, but wait, what's this? MacDuff has slammed right into Lewis' machine before it gets to full speed and slams it into the pit button! The arena abyss slowly descends, with the siren... well, it honestly sends chills down my spine when I hear it. The pit opens up, waiting for someone to be swallowed whole. Magnitude tries slamming into Loki, and flips it 9 feet up in the air, sending it CRASHING down back on its wheels! MacDuff and Loki keep fighting on. MacDuff of course, has made it to the final of Heat M last year, beaten by Axeon there. It also had success in other tournaments as well. Loki spinning up again... but now, MacDuff slams into Loki, and it-- oh no, not this... NOT THIS!!!
CRASH!!!!
... and that is a CRUSHING hit by the house robot. MacDuff has slammed Loki right into the CPZ of King Arthur who was ready with his cutting disc. Now, Loki is on its back... but unable to self-right! The bar is not spinning, and this means the srimech is done as well! I think that King Arthur's flywheel not only flipped Loki onto its back but also dislodged something inside of the machine. Whatever it is, it made the weapon stop spinning... there is no doubt that the wheels are still clearly spinning, but there is no srimech! Magnitude takes this to advantage, and Joey's machine crashes into Loki, and gets underneath... and carries it to the wall! Loki tries to get away... Magnitude carries the spinner to the wall... will it go out?! One flip and IT'S OVER! Loki has been put over the fence and onto the camera tracks! Wait a minute though, it looks like Magnitude is not done just yet! Magnitude goes into Sgt. Bash's CPZ and flips it over! Now, it slams into the house robot and pushes it out of the CPZ and closer to the pit... and now Lewis is yelling for Sgt. Bash to go down the pit! Oh man, it looks like Sgt. Bash is going to get dumped, and MacDuff is helping Magnitude in pushing the house robot into the pit! Magnitude lines up Sgt. Bash near the pit... and finally, Joey lets Kody do the honours. Any minute... now. BOOM!
CEASE!
Loki is exiled out of the arena, while Sgt. Bash looks more like Sgt. BASHED. :proud:
MacDuff and Magnitude go through to Round 2!
Sam: Welcome back, as we get to our second battle of the evening. Three robotic gladiators go in to mangle the crap out of each other... but one may come out missing some parts.
(BATTLE 2!!!)
From Bramford in Ipswich, Chaos 2!
The legend, the two time Robot Wars champion, first robot to OOTA another robot, very experienced... and really, you could very well call this machine a phenom. The flipper has great power, and... well, heaven only knows how many machines it has tossed out of the ring. This machine is a true legend, but it's probably very old by now and I doubt that it will get past the heats, but you never know... :P
From Bedford, in Bedfordshire, BIACS by Popular Demand!
A very sleek looking newcomer here, as it has a disc on an arm which can swing to the rear. The disc also spins at very high speeds of 2450 RPM and dishing out 64kJ per hit. Could this machine be a dark horse, I wonder?
From Glasgow, in Scotland, and 4th seeds, Mornington Crescent!
Whirligig's "replacement" for this series, Mornington Crescent has finally showed up. It has not one, but two spinning rims, that spin in opposite directions, which strike the opponent with a force of a jackhammer, and it can run both ways up. This machine should be very frightening, but the question is, can this machine have an equal amount of success as Whirligig?
Roboteers, stand by...
Booth 1 is occupied by Tracy Farber at the controls of Chaos 2, and also Matt "Zarte" Fowler, at the controls of BIACS. Steve McGregor is in Booth 2 at the controls of Mornington Crescent, he looks ready as ever. As for the drivers of the house robots, well... their identities will probably never be discovered, unfortunately. :lame: Anyway, the house robots for this battle will be Matilda, the matriarch of mayhem, with the lifting forks and the lethal flywheel, and goodness me, it's Mindbender making a return, with the spinning hammerheads of doom.
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!
Here we go with the second battle of Round 1, with Mornington Crescent's unique weapon spinning up to speed here. Goodness me, that looks like a frightening weapon. Meanwhile Chaos 2 attacks BIACS, and slams into it and flipping it over. That's good power in the flipper there, but it has a limited supply of CO2 so it cannot go on forever. Chaos 2, we know all the success that it has had back in the days of Robot Wars, and it is the only robot to capture the Robot Wars championship twice. BIACS is a great machine, as well. It reached the series semi-finals in Crash and Burn 2, beating a formidable opponent in Enter the May Tracks in the Heat Final... and now it spins up and whacks the Robot Wars veteran from Ipswich with the disc!
CRASH!!!
That sends sparks flying, and a gash has been made in the side of Chaos 2... and already, damage has been done to the veteran. There is a gash that is very visible in the side there. Good attack by BIACS, but now Mornington Crescent spinning here, and crashes into the former UK champion!
CRASH!!!!!!!
The spinner sends Chaos 2 spinning away, and damage has been caused more. Chaos 2 loses armour in the process, and gets away... it chases after Mornington Crescent and plays the brave fool, and slams into it before it gets up to full speed! Now it flips the 4th seeds over, right onto its back! Now, Mornington Crescent competed as Whirligig in the last series. It was one round away from reaching the grand final but it was beaten by Archangel of the Abyss, the eventual champion. Meanwhile, now Chaos 2 stalking the bizarre-looking Bedford machine, BIACS and flipping it over, but it has no effect, because BIACS is invertible. BIACS now comes in on the former champ and gets the rnington Crescent, now spinning madly, and now it slams right into the former champion's side... oh no, Chaos 2 tries to get away...
CRASH!!!!!!!!
The spinner SLAMS the daylights out of Chaos 2 as it tears off some more armour... ay caramba. This doesn't look good for the former champ, as it gets absolutely terrorized by Mornington Crescent. Chaos 2 tries to hold on as it slams into BIACS and flips it over! BIACS is okay and now it spins its disc cutter up to speed. Now it fights back on Chaos 2 by turning and slamming the rear end with the disc!
CRASH!!!
Now the top suffers some damage, and the top protective armour is ripped away, exposing the CO2 canister! This doesn't look good for the ex-champion of Robot Wars... oh dear. Chaos 2 made its debut in Series 3, never lost a match, until Bigger Brother stopped it dead in its tracks in the 5th Wars. A true phenom, but now it is in severe problems, and limping very heavily. Mornington Cresent now slams into the side of Chaos 2 with the ring that is almost moving in a blur!
CRASH!!!!!
WHOA. That is an absolutely immense hit on the Robot Wars phenom. Honestly, I think the end is near for Chaos 2, as its right side panel is ripped away. My goodness, and what is even more shocking is the fact that Chaos 2 is still moving and trying to put up a fight. BIACS smells blood in the water, and goes for Chaos 2's rear with the disc... the phenom trying to get away...
BOOM!!!
Well, no one can do anything about this. There goes the weapon of Chaos 2 as the CO2 tank ruptures, and now Chaos 2 is weaponless. Chaos 2 is limping even more now, and Mornington Crescent comes in on the side looking for another blow!
CRASH!!!!!!!
My goodness, that is an absolutely frightening collision indeed, as a battery comes out of the machine. Chaos 2 was so good in Robot Wars, winning two consecutive championship titles. A brilliant machine is about to meet its doom here in the first round. Refbot comes to check on Chaos 2 to see if it's okay... I highly doubt it. The countdown is on!
1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8... 9... 10!!!
The phenom of Robot Wars has gone out of the competition... and now the house robots close in on the beaten machine. Oh no... this is not good. Mindbender, I wouldn't do this if I were you... I'd be having second thoughts. This doesn't look good for Chaos 2 as Mindbender is spinning madly... OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
KERRRRRRASH!!!!!
BAH GAWD!!! BAH GAWD!!! I can feel that from where I am! This is just an absolutely brutal attack from Mindbender... my goodness, some more internals are strewn across the arena. Man oh man. The pit opens up, and Chaos 2 is being nudged into the pit by Matilda... and look at the damage that's been caused. That is immense, and finally Chaos 2 is at the lip of the pit, and one final nudge from Mindbender... BOOM! That's it!
CEASE!!!
Chaos 2... what's happened to you??? :'(

Tactics and predictions, por favor :proud:
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww yeeeeeeea its back :D
Welcome back, Sam. :) w00ty fights :proud:
Mornington Crescent vs. Magnitude
Actually I think Magnitude's polycarb armour could be a hindrance here. MC to immobilize the tracks on one side of Magnitude and KO it.
BIACS by Popular Demand VS Macduff the 5th
I'll use the lifting wedge here. (set-up 2)
That disc is fairly powerful, but it's not going to do much if anything to 7.5mm Ti10V armour, much less 5mm more of that if he tries attacking the sides/rear. So I'm pretty much indestructible. Therefore I'm just going to ram him straight into the pit here. I can't really damage him myself so I'll have to rely on that. I could try the house robots if he gets really pesky; he hardly has the armour I do. :crazy:
