so who won the bet?
I didnt, thats for sure. lol.
Mike.
Well, I kinda gave up on the betting stuff. Its now just fights. If I feel like it. I mean, with the forums in this state and all my college work, it might be a while.
I have written up the next all stars battle though. I do intend to finish at least something.
I hope so, Chris. The forum needs a big shock for people to swarm around here again.
CLEAR!
*BZZT!*
Surprise!
FROM DEELE IN KENT; DOMINATOR 2
You dont get any harder than this. Dominator 2 has competed in the UK championship three times, and has made the second round of the semi-final on all three occasions. This unique bi-wedge shape is covered in titanium apparantly used in submarines, and the weapon is an exceptinally powerful axe that can penetrate pretty much anything. However, the axe has to be facing the opposition in order to get a clean hit, which could prove difficult.
FROM CARDIFF: PANIC ATTACK
The winners of the second series of the wars, some would say Panic Attack is becoming old. Those more in the know would say it is still as persistant as ever. A low yellow box, Panic Attack is covered in real tough armour, difficult to puncture, skirts all around make it difficult to flip, and a set of powerful lifting spikes make it difficult to approach. All in all, a tough cookie, except that it has no srimech, and can be toppled.
FROM LEICESTERSHIRE; THIRTEEN BLACK
Well, you know what they say...If it aint broke, dont fix it! And thats exactly what 13 Black does, boosting not one but two, yes TWO, spinning flywheels. It also has a self-righting mechanism and the experience of a semi-final to boot. It can also run inverted, albeit hilariously. Sadly, it is unreliable.
FROM SAWTRY IN CAMBRIDGESHIRE; TORNADO
The winners of Series 6, Tornado has beaten almost every single All Star robot there is, including Chaos 2, Pussycat, Hypno-Disc and Razer. Another low, flat box on wheels, Tornado is invertible and doesnt care about being flipped at all. It also has incredible pushing power, and can push pretty much anything. Worst of all, it has an interchangable weapons section at the front, where they can put on a spinning flywheel, a wedge with flail and a lifting arm. All in all, a tough cookie...until it meets someone with similar pushing power, when at that point, all of the hard work is undone.
ROBOTEERS, STAND BY.
Booth 1: Dominator 2 and Tornado (using the scoop and chain).
Booth 2: Panic Attack and 13 Black.
House Robots: Shunt and Matilda.
3...2...1...ACTIVATE!
And theyre off. Straightaway, Dominator 2 cruises towards 13 Black and hits the body with the axe. 13 Black has been having a few problems recently, and Dominator is sensing this, hitting it again with the axe. Meanwhile, Tornado has met a head-on collision with Panic Attack. It pushes back, but is lifted up slightly when Panic Attack raises those infamous forklift prongs. But Tornado has come away from the prongs, and now hits Panic Attack from underneath, getting under the front, and pushing it around the arena, with a few sparks here and there. Meanwhile, 13 Blacks discs are spinning, as is the entire robot. Is 13 Black playing defensive? Advice for Dominator 2, dont get any closer...ooh, but Tornado is coming in from behind, and pushes Dominator 2 RIGHT INTO THE SPINNING 13 BLACK! The axe crashes down, it seems OK. Panic Attack, free from the wrath of Tornado, has a go at Dominator, whilst Tornado now pushes 13 Black towards the arena side grinders; this is an interesting battle. Panic Attack lifts Dominator 2 up and over...is the axe stuck out? I think it is! I dont think Dominator 2 will be able to self right from there. This leaves Panic Attack to see what it can do about 13 Black. Tornado, meanwhile, has hit the pit release button. The pit decends. One of these robots may end up in the pit. Dont forget, this is all for a place in the All Stars ultimate final against Kat 3 and Firestorm 5. Dominator 2 will not be one of those robots, as Refbot counts it out. Tornado makes a charge at Panic Attack meanwhile. It isnt successful, it goes up the skirts. It tries again, same result. One more time...NOW it manages, Panic Attack turned a little too early. Now Tornado starts pushing Panic Attack (with some nice sparks), which is exactly what Shunt is doing to Dominator 2, right towards the floor flipper. Itll be flying any time soon...but meanwhile, Tornado is pushing Panic Attack dangerously close to the pit! Its teetering, its tottering!...ITS DOWN, Thanks to Tornado. Panic Attack is out...and Dominator has just flown through the air, thanks to the floor flipper. Lovely.
CEASE!!
Tornado and 13 Black go through. Now for the next battle...
j00! :proud:
FROM BOURNEMOUTH IN DORSET; RAZER
A UK championship, two world championship, an annihilator, two All Star championships, the International League...quite simply, you name it, Razer has probably won it. One of the most famous robots in the world, Razer is a wedge shaped robot with one of the most feared weapons off all...a gigantic crushing hydraulic ram, that can make a hole in almost anything it gets the tip into. The claw also boosts 450 weight reducing holes and two wings which act as a srimech, so Razer is prepared for anything. It once went over 20 battles without losing as well, more than any other UK robot. Sadly, Razer is famed for being unreliable, and something is bound to happen sooner or later.
FROM LANGPORT IN SOMERSET; WHEELY BIG CHEESE
Mention flipper, and this may come up straight away. Ask anyone...except Axe Awe. Why? Because Wheely Big Cheese is just about the most formidible flipper EVER in the wars. It is big, and it shows. Not only can it through robots six feet in the air, it once flipped a robot out of the arena from halfway across the arena! The armour is titanium and the giant wheels are covered in golf shoe studs. However, we have another unreliable robot and the wheels are exposed.
FROM ASH IN HAMPSHIRE; WILD THING 2
Previously entering a wedge shaped robot, Wild Thing 2 couldnt be more different. It could be described as more of an arrow shaped robot, broader at the back than at the front. It can run inverted and it has a nasty vertical disc to cut oppodents down to size. It also has a secret weapon...staying power. A high endurance level means that, even if it cant beat the oppodent outright, it can probably outlast them in a fight, making it a real warrior. The wheels are exposed to attacks though.
FROM BELMONT IN HERIFORDSHIRE; X-TERMINATOR
Will it Exterminate...Exterminate...the opposition here? Coming fourth in the 7th series of Robot Wars, it may well do. X-Terminator is a large robot with a formidable weapon, a very large front flywheel capable of tearing fellow robots apart in the blink of an eye. It is compact as well, and hard to damage. However, it is slow at 9mph, and although it has a srimech to get it off of its side, the back is unprotected, and any flipper to get it on there could win the match.
ROBOTEERS, STAND BY.
Booth 1: Razer, Wild Thing 2.
Booth 2: Wheely Big Cheese, X-Terminator.
House Robots: Mr Psycho and Cassius Chrome.
3...2...1...ACTIVATE
And off we go, with the last of our four-way melees. Dont forget, we have a former All Star champion in the mix...said champion getting to grips straight away with Wild Thing 2. Maybe it senses that it is the weakest out there. X-Terminator has that huge vertical flywheel, but it doesnt want to get involved with Wheely Big Cheeses huge flipper. Razer, meanwhile, changing its grip, and going straight for the tyres of Wild Thing! X-Terminator, meanwhile, hits the pit release button. Maybe it senses that it needs to get rid of the others early. Wheely Big Cheese attacks Razer and Wild Thing from behind and...WOAH!! The two go flying! That must have been 10ft into the air, and back down again with a mega crash! Razer and Wild Thing end up tumbling like two crabs fighting on a beach, but the main worry here must be...how much damage have the electronics taken? Well, Razer tries to self-right, but with Wild Thing stuck on its claw, its a difficult task. X-Terminator comes in...BASHES THE TWO OF THEM! Something flew off...I think Wild Thing. Wild Thing is also dislodged from Razer, and heads off in Wheely Big Cheeses direction, as Razer finally self-rights. Id be careful of that X-Terminator weapon Razer team. And Razer take my advice...they beat it. But this is very surprising for the former All Star, World, Annihilator and UK champion...theyre behind and they know it. Now, Wild Thing 2 goes back to attack the side of X-Terminator. The two have fought before and Wild Thing was the victor. But Wheely Big Cheese now flips Wild Thing 2...10 FEET INTO THE AIR AND DOWN AGAIN! This is scary...OH, AND WHEELY BIG CHEESE IS NOW BEING ATTACKED BY X-TERMINATOR! Is that what they were waiting for? Does X-Terminator think that Wheely Big Cheese could be their biggest threat? Remember, I said at the beginning, X-Terminator can not self-right from its back. It HAS to land on its side. And now, its flipped Wheely Big Cheese with its flywheel...OH, AND LOOK AT THAT!! OK, youll have to imagine it, BUT THE DISC HAS NOW BUCKLED WHEELY BIG CHEESES AXLE! That is seriously going to hinder the cheeses hopes now. Meanwhile, Razer goes for another attack on Wild Thing 2. Desperate times call for desperate measures. X-Terminator is WRECKING Wheely Big Cheese! This is now getting serious. I dont think Wheely Big Cheese is now actually moving. I think the damage has been done. Refbots having a check. Razer, meanwhile, has pushed Wild Thing 2 into Mr Psycho! Psycho is, indeed, our very own wild thing out there. He picks up Wild Thing 2 with his massive claw, parades him around the arena. Theres damage everywhere on the Wild Thing machine. Wheely Big Cheese, however, is being counted out. It was a bright start, but now look. A sorry mess on the warzone floor. Mr Psycho drops Wild Thing 2 onto the flame pit, but look at that, driving away...RIGHT ONTO X-TERMINATORS FLYWHEEL! The top panel has been torn clean away! Refbot finally counts out Wheely Big Cheese. Cassius Chrome now moves the cheese towards the pit. Razer has a grip on the now limping Wild Thing 2 meanwhile. In comes X-Terminator, onto Razer...OH NO!! THE SIDE PANEL HAS BEEN TORN CLEAN OFF OF RAZER!! THIS ISNT FAIR! X-Terminator, you cant do this! In the background, Cassius Chrome has finally pitted Wheely Big Cheese...OH, X-TERMINATORS NOW TORN RIGHT INTO WILD THING 2! Its almost torn in half! The disc is hanging limp! I think a tyres been shredded. Times now running out, theres no movement in either Razer or Wild Thing 2. Stripped bare. X-Terminator spin in delight. They know theyve won. But who goes through with them?
CEASE!
