Predictions please

OK, Chris, here are my predictions for the 1st round. (Im not too sure how many have to be eliminated in Round 1, but am I guessing 2 robots have to be eliminated)

Typhoon 2 vs M2 vs Ming Dienasty vs Mega Morg
M2 & Typhoon 2 would be too strong so out go Mega Morg & Ming Dienasty.

Storm 2 vs Mute vs Razer vs Black and Blue
Black & Blue would fall definately but I stuck between the other 3, Mute would go out Ill guess.

Tornado vs Dantomkia vs Hypno-disc vs Suicidal Tendencies
OOH!! Erm, Tornado & Dantomkia to win.

X-Terminator vs Tough as Nails vs Chaos 2 vs Anarchy
Hmm, tough call this, Ill hazard a guess on Anarchy & Tough as Nails.

Atomic vs Terrorhurtz vs Dominator 2 vs King B Powerworks
Has to be the axes of Dominator 2 & Terrorhurtz in this bout.

Firestorm 5 vs Bigger Brother vs S3 vs Cerberus
*bites lip while thinking* OW!! Ill say Bigger Brother & Firestorm to win.

Gravity vs Spawn Again vs Wild Thing vs Aggrobot
Has to be Gravity but who would join them? I havent got the foggiest.

Bulldog Breed vs 13 Black vs Stinger vs Diotoir
Ill guess 13 Black & Bulldog Breed

Thermidor 2 vs Panic Attack vs 3 Stegs 2 Heaven vs Napalm 2
Thermidor definately but its a dodgy choice for this fight.

The Grim Reaper vs Pussycat vs Wheely Big Cheese vs Plunderbird 5
Wheely Big Cheese & Grim Reaper if they arent beaten

Raging Knightmare vs Behemoth vs Splinter vs Sir Chromalot
Hmm, Ill say Raging Knightmare & Behemoth will win.

St Agro vs S.M.I.D.S.Y vs Gemini vs Weld-dor 3
PHEW!! Even tougher, to win Ill guess SMIDSY & Gemini

Good news. I was unwell for a few days, but I have recovered, and Im ready to do the first round of the Second Super Seeds Championship.

Are you ready to find a super seeds champion?

All right then.

LET THE WARS BEGIN!!!!


Battle 1

FROM HAMPSHIRE; M2

This is a newcomer to Robot Wars and the SSC. This barrel shaped competitor has nevertheless made its mark, with its powerful pneumatic flipper, it managed to throw 2 robots OOTA in its first bout. Its flipper is devestating, but its inexperienced.

FROM SWANSEA; MEGA MORG

This robot made it to the top 12 of last years SSC, it was beaten by Plunderbird 5. This year theyve made a few upgrades: the lifting shovel is bigger and more powerful, and it has a new cutting disc at the back. Its shape allows it to roll back over when flipped, but its slow, and a disgusting shade of yellow. YEUCH!

FROM SOMERSET; MING DIENASTY

An experienced robot, the first time theyve ever been seeded though. This incorination is a box shape with a big lifting arm. On the end of that arm is a cutting drill, like Sir Killalot. It has experience, but its weapon isnt really that effective.

FROM EDINBURGH IN SCOTLAND; TYPHOON 2

The reigning champion of british wars, heavy, middle AND lightweight. This robot is a cone shape with a rotating outer body, spinning at incredible speeds, with cutting teeth along the outside. The robot has a top secret military information tactic as well. Its impossible to beat when fully spinning, but its unstable at low speeds and it doesnt have a Srimech.

3...2...1...ACTIVATE!

The Second Super Seeds Championship is off and under way. I fancy Typhoon 2 I must admit, but at the moment its not in on the action so far. Ming Dienasty comes in to drill at Mega Morg, but is flipped up by M2. No over though, it lands on its wheels. M2 turns its attentions towards the yellow Mega Morg, flipping it high, but again, it lands on its wheels. Ming Dienasty is now moving over to where Typhoon 2 is, that isnt wise, Typhoon 2 is up to full speed and...WHAM! IT SENDS MING DIENASTY SPINNING AWAY! That must be their top secret move I mentioned earlier. And poor Ming Dienasty was caught with a full-on blow of the outer ring. Meanwhile, M2 is throwing Mega Morg all over the place, nearer and nearer to the arena wall. Mega Morg is now rolling, as Typhoon and Ming move towards that arena wall. M2 gives a flip on Mega Morg, then another...OH, AND M2 HAS FLIPPED MEGA MORG STRAIGHT OUT OF THE ARENA! The first OOTA of the new year, done by M2. Typhoon, meanwhile, hits the rear of Ming Dienasty, look at the markings at the back of Ming Dienasty! OUCH! Is Ming Dienasty still mobile? Doesnt look like it. M2 moves away...oooo, brushing past Typhoon 2, even that causes damage. But M2 positions one more time, moves in...and FLIPS! Ming Dienasty is propelled out of the arena!

CEASE!

What a battle!

Mega Morg and Ming Dienasty flipped out of the arena.
Isnt it just great to see two new robots showing everyone whos the boss.

TYPHOON 2 AND M2 GO THROUGH TO THE NEXT ROUND!

Just for your knowledge, M2 is a low pressure flipper.

Dave, I know, but I never said M2 was a high pressure flipper.

Wow. What a fight. Lets see if the second one is any good.

BATTLE 2

FROM OXFORD AND BRISTOL; BLACK AND BLUE

They competed in the last SSC with Mousetrap, they made it to the final 12, losing to Firestorm. Black and Blue is a clusterbot, meaning it goes in as one machine, but then splits in two. Both machines have powerful spinning drums and are quick and agile. However, the rules state that if one half of a clusterbot is immobilized, then unfortunatly the whole robot is counted as out.

FROM STOKE-ON-TRENT IN STAFFORDSHIRE; MUTE

A newcomer, it made it to the final of the New Blood championship. This wedge shape is fast, nippy, has tough armour that even Shunt cant damage, and two very deadly flippers, One at the back, one at the front, covered in barbs. The flippers act as Srimech too. However, a weakness is that said Srimech is overpowered, resulting in great gymnastics. HA HA!

FROM BOURNEMOUTH IN DORSET; RAZER

Twice a world champion, once a UK champion and 3rd place in the last SSC. Razer is a destructive force to be reckoned with. This year, they have spike covered wheels to help with traction. Its main strengths have to be its deadly 9 ton crushing claw. Its main weakness has to be its slow srimech.

FROM IPSWICH IN SUFFOLK; STORM 2

This robot has won a lot in its short life here in Robot Wars. Already it has won the New Blood and World Championship and it came 2nd in the UK wars. This robot looks a bit like Tornado, and is basically a rammer. It does also have a lifting arm to knock a robot over. It has much more power than Tornado, and can get a bot OOTA just by ramming it. Weaknessess? I dont think it has any.

ROBOTEERS STAND BY!

Booth 1; Black and Blue, Mute
Booth 2; Razer, Storm 2

House Robots; Shunt and Matilda

3...2...1...ACTIVATE!

This should be interesting. Black and Blue immediatly splits, and comes in to attack Mute from the side. With a flipper THAT powerful and a robot THAT light (only 50 kilos each), I wouldnt get so close to that flipper guys. Well, whatever, Razer has a vice like grip on Storm 2, not much damage though, Storm 2 is very tough. Anyway, Mute gets underneath the Black half of Black and Blue, and FIRES FLIPPER! Black is flung away to the other end of the arena. Razer lets go of Storm now and has a little dig at Blue. But lets face it, every little dig from Razer is a big dig. Down comes the claw, crushing through Blues armour. Meanwhile, Storm 2 moves towards Mute. Storm beat Mute in the NB final, Mute want revenge, but Storm uses his arm and flips Mute over. 1...2...3...AND MUTE FIRES THE FLIPPER! IT SPINS A WHOLE 360 DEGREES! AND BACK ON HIS BACK! Again he fires, again he somersults. 4 times or so, and FINALLY he re-rights. I wonder how much gas that took though. Now Strom 2 is going behind Razer (still with a grip on Blue) and pushes, charging Razer and Blue towards the arena wall...KER-RASH! Razer and Blue bounce clean off. Blue cant escape from Razers clutches and...hang on, whats happened to Black? Black is being bothered by Strom 2, thats what, slamming it into Matilda, into the flywheel, more damage. I dont think Black is fully mobile. Then again, neither is Blue, and even more worrying, whats happened to Razer. Its wheels are moving...just...but theres no power in the claw. Mute gets underneath...and FLIPS! Yes, that confirms it, Razers claw has broken down, its srimech isnt gonna work, its out, and Blues gone with it, and with that, Black will go as well. Black, in question, is against the arena wall, Matilda reverses...OH, AND BLACK FLYS OUT OF THE ARENA! Now Refbot is counting out Razer and Blue. Storm 2 slams Mute into the pit release, and the pit lowers...you see, Razer and Blue are already ON the pit. The smoke fires just as Refbot hits 10!

CEASE

What an Upset. Razer has been blunted, and Black and Blue are also feeling that way.

STORM 2 AND MUTE GO THROUGH!

So, we have 4 robots through already. Typhoon 2, M2, Mute and Storm 2. Who will join them? Lets find out.

BATTLE 3

FROM SURREY; DANTOMKIA

This robot is fairly new to the RW scene, let alone the SSC, but it has definatly proved itself. This double wedge shaped robot (sort of) has made it to two semi-finals, and also won Most Promising Newcomer in S6 after beating Chaos 2. Its weapon consists of a powerful flipper that has flipped more robots OOTA than any other robot. The captain named the robot after his 3 kids. The robot is deadly, but the driver is nervous (not quite so much I will admit) and the robot has the tendencies to break down without warning.

FROM BANBURY IN OXFORDSHIRE; HYPNO-DISC

This is a veteran of 4 series of Robot Wars. It competed in SSC1, but was beaten by Wheely Big Cheese. This robot has one of the most destructive horizontal flywheels in the history of Robot Wars, now faster this year, and with spikes at the back. It can self-right, but when push comes to shove, Hypno easily loses.

FROM DERBY; SUICIDAL TENDENCIES

This robot probably has had the most weapon changes of any robot. First a grinder, then an axe and lifter, but now this; A deadly crushing claw that crushes down at 26 tons PSI. This tracked robot competed last year and did damage, but showed its main weakness...reliability problems.

FROM SAWTRY IN CAMBRIDGESHIRE; TORNADO

A Robot Wars legend. This box on wheels suffered an early lose last year in the SSC, he wants to do better. His weapons are interchangable, consisting of a drum, a scoop with flail and a lifter. Tornado runs inverted and has no fear of flippers, but mind it IS easy TO flip, so be careful.

Booth 1; Dantomkia and Hypno-disc
Booth 2; Suicidal Tendencies and Tornado
House Robots are Mr Psycho and Matilda

3...2...1...ACTIVATE!

Terrific Fight this will be. Hopefully. For this battle, Tornado is using its wedge. He uses said wedge to get right in underneath Suicidal Tendencies. In comes Hypno-disc with a side SWIPE at Suicidal Tendencies. It causes a scar. Nothing more though, and this is worrying for the Rose family who built Hypno-disc. In comes Dantomkia, giving chase towards Hypno-disc, from behind, flips it up! Not over though. Meanwhile, Tornado is using brute force and power against Suicidal Tendencies (notice I am refraining from using ST) and drives Suicidal Tendencies towards Matilda. Can Suicidal Tendencies get away? Thankfully, he can; Matilda was facing him. Hypno-disc is getting a lot of unwanted attention from Dantomkia now, but crashes into the fleeing Suicidal Tendencies. Ever persistant, Tornado now turns to Dantomkia, and RAMS him into the arena side wall. Tornado, Id be careful. Youre vulnerable to flippers, and if youre flipped, that wedge will be useless. But Tornado, not a dumb machine, gets the message and away. Hypno-disc is now tackling Suicidal Tendencies. Weve seen very little of that great claw, but in comes Tornado AGAIN! Ramming Suicidal Tendencies into Matilda and OH MY GOODNESS! MATILDA WAS READY THIS TIME AND SHE CRIPPLES SUICIDAL TENDENCIES! She reverses, causing more damage, Suicidal Tendencies is against the wall, the back is wrecked...its done. Meanwhile, Tornado is now pushing Hypno-disc towards the arena wall, as Refbot looks at the carcuss of Suicidal Tendencies. Finally, he starts counting...OH AND HYPNO-DISC HAS BEEN TOSSED AGAINST THE ARENA WALL BY DANTOMKIA! Tornado pushes it towards the Dantomkia corner as I call it, and waits. Refbot finally counts Suicidal Tendencies out...just as Dantomkia THROWS HYPNO-DISC OUT OF THE ARENA! WHAT A SHOCK! A second later, Suicidal Tendencies flys out also (in bits) curtisy of Matilda.

CEASE!

What a battle!
Hypno-disc spun out of the competition. Suicidal Tendencies, just what it says on the label.
TORNADO AND DANTOMKIA, THEY GO THROUGH!

Coming up next time, its ANARCHY in the UK tonight. With CHAOS reigning, we need someone to X-TERMINATE the opposition. But which robot will prove themselves to be...as TOUGH AS NAILS.
Then, we have a special surprise for you. Hubble Bubble, youre seeing double, loads of trouble, in our Clusterbot Clash-up. See you in a moment.

What surprises weve had already. How many more can we get?

FROM KETTERING; ANARCHY

This robot competed last year with 101, out in round 1. This is a walking robot and allowed to be twice as heavy as some of the other robots. In fact, its the only walker in this SSC. Its weapons consist of a front axe and a rear flipper, both perfect for carnage. Its a strong sturdy robot, but slow and cumbersome.

FROM BRAMFORD, IPSWICH; CHAOS 2

Twice a UK champion of Robot Wars, Chaos 2 has never failed to reach at least the heat final of Robot Wars. A robot wars veteran, its weapon is an extremely powerful front flipper that shocked the world when it threw a robot out of the arena in series 3. At 20 miles per hour, its by far the quickest, at 84 kilos, its by far the lightest though, easy to push.

FROM THE NETHERLANDS; TOUGH AS NAILS

One of two Dutch robots taking part in this Championships, Tough as Nails is a true warrior. This robot is a two wheeled monster with an awesome weapon; a set of horizontal crushing jaws that can grapple ANYTHING! Its favourite tactic involves opening the pit, grabbing a robot and then dumping it in. Weaknessess, its wheels are exposed, limited CO2 supply for the pincers and it sometimes suffers from electrical problems.

FROM BELMONT IN HEREFORDSHIRE; X-TERMINATOR

A truly magnificent robot. Ranked 4th in the UK at the moment, and its easy to see why. This robot is built like a tank, its tough, strong at pushing and it has a devestating weapon; an extremely powerful vertical flywheel, spinning at frightening speeds. It holds the record for being the first constestant to flip another bot OOTA using a flywheel. The weapon is destructive and deadly, but that said, its slow, and cant right when on its back.

ROBOTEERS STAND BY.

Booth 1;Anarchy and Chaos 2
Booth 2;Tough as Nails and X-terminator

House Robots are Growler and Shunt.

3...2...1...ACTIVATE!

And away we go, with the fourth battle of the Second Super Seeds Championship. There goes Chaos 2, OH, ITS FLIPPED X-TERMINATOR! NOW WHERE HAS X-TERMINATOR LANDED? ON ITS SIDE? Yes, its on its side, its OK. It uses its large spikes to right. Theres Anarchy with an axe blow to X-terminator, but IT is flipped by Chaos 2. Great battle so far...hang on, wheres Tough as Nails? Oh, there it is, its just activated the pit release, down goes the pit. Tough as Nails (or TAN as it is fondly known, I will use that) goes back to attack something, and its NOW GRABBED CHAOS 2! NOW ITS GUIDEING IT TOWARDS THE PIT, ITS IN TROUBLE, IS IT? AND DOWN IT GOES! CHAOS 2 ARE OUT! IN THE PIT BY TOUGH AS NAILS! So were now left with three...OOOOH, WHAT WAS THAT?!?! SOMETHING FLEW AWAY! IT WAS A PART OF ANARCHYS ARMOUR! That was caused by X-terminators great disc! Anarchy tries to flip, but fails. OH, theres a gash in Anarchys flipper. TAN comes back, has a nip of Anarchy. X-terminator comes back, hits...OH, AND NUTS AND BOLTS FLY AWAY! AND GEARS! THAT MEANS THAT ANARCHYS LEGS ARE NOW USELESS! Theyve been ruptured! TAN guides Anarchy away, but theres bits of Anarchy everywhere. Towards the pit. Look at the wreckage. Armour torn away. Gash in the flipper. Mangled legs. One last shove. Down the pit goes Anarchy.

CEASE!

What a battle! Anarchy and Chaos 2, in the pit.
TOUGH AS NAILS AND X-TERMINATOR GO THROUGH!

Well, next up we have Firestorm, Bigger Brother, S3 and Cerberus do battle. But first, lets have a special event. This event, is all about working with your twin. You cant be good and evil here. Its our Cluster bot clash up!

CLUSERBOT CLASH-UP



FROM ST LEONARDS-ON-SEA IN EAST SUSSEX; GEMINI

A favourite among bot fans, veterans with Mace in the past. A very powerful pneumatic flipper on both machines. Quick. Older than its oppodent, just the heavier, is difficult to control though.

FROM OXFORD AND BRISTOL; BLACK AND BLUE

Weve already seen this robot in the SSC, got knocked out in round 1. Each machine has a devestating spinning drum to cut through weak armour. Its invertable, negating flippers, but easily pushed.

ROBOTEERS STAND BY

Booth 1;Black and Blue
Booth 2;Gemini

House Robots are Cassius Chrome and Sgt Bash

3...2...1...ACTIVATE!

Immediatly, Gemini splits. Black and Blue does the same. Dont forget, if just one half of either Gemini or Black and Blue is immobilized then the game is over, the robot is technically out and the win would go to the other robot. One half of Gemini flips up the Black half of Black and Blue, throwing it away with almost ease. Elsewhere, the Blue half is fending off the other Gemini half, cutting against the armour, but no real damage as yet. All together, Black and Blue weighs 99kgs, ALL TOGETHER THOUGH. Gemini weighs 100 kilos together, but when split, thats half of it, as the other Gemini half leaves the Black part to help its Twin deal with the Blue part. All that doo-da makes Gemini point 5 of a kilo heavier than Black and Blue, and at the moment, they are using that to their advantage. The Blue part is being pushed, and PUSHED AGAINST THE GRINDER! If you remember Series 7, the Black part got stuck in a similar position. Black in question is pushing against one half of Gemini, behind it goes the other half...OH, AND BLACK HAS BEEN FLIPPED OUT OF THE ARENA BY ONE HALF OF GEMINI! AND, ACCORDING TO THE RULES, THAT MEANS THEY ARE OUT! Cassius Chrome is now nudging Blue free, as Gemini hits the pit release. Well see them later in this SSC dont forget, as Cassius Chrome gives a driving charge...and down goes Blue.

CEASE!

Black and Blue is thumped into submission
GEMINI IS SEEING STARS, THEY ARE A STAR, THEY WIN THE CLUSTERBOT CLASH-UP!

Well done Gemini.

And dont forget to check out next time, when 6 of the toughest robots from Holland fight to the finish, in our Dutch Destroyers battle.
