No review yet?!
Sorry, sorry... Ive kinda had some problems over here so here is my (albeit late) wooty review.
Melee 1
Twas quick. Bamn Bamns axe didnt seem to work after the initial strike so they couldnt self right. Black also seemed to have been having driving problems from the moment they entered the arena and I dont think the cluster bot showed the good team work a cluster bot will NEED if its going to be sucesfull. Daisy Cutter didnt seem to do all that much, apart from chipping bits off Blue, allowing Firestorm to thrown Blue over once or twice, and pit both Blue and Bamn Bamn.
Qualified: Firestorm and Daisy cutter
Melee 2
Zorro got the first attack in, but seemed to lose something off the spinner. This disabled it, meaning it couldnt spin up and self right after Ripper threw it over. Aggrobot spent most of the fight being tossed around the arena, but managed to get their claws under Reptirrons flipper once. Ripper was definitely the star of the fight in the first half, but seemed to cool down towards the end. This fight is NEARLY fight of the night.
Qualified: Reptirron the 2nd and Ripper.
Featherweight final
Apart from the first few seconds, this was a really action packed fight! All the robots worked for most of the fight, lots of flipping and shoving was happening to various robots and best of all we never saw the bloody house robots get involved:proud: As for the decision, I wouldnt call it at all contraversial. DTK had disposed of three robots in this fight, two of which seemed to be working. Rampage thrown OOTA by the floor flipper was great as well, all of which combined makes this... Fight of the night:)
Winner: DTK beat Whipper on a judges decision.
Firestorm vs Reptirron
Firestorm got the first attack, swiveled around to get Reptirron facing a useful direction on the wedge and fired. That was pretty much it for the fight, the rest of the air time being taken up by Firestorm trying several times to get Reptirron OOTA, which they eventually managed with a sucession of violent charges and timed flips.
Winner: Firestorm
Daisy cutter vs Ripper
Thankfully, I failed to blink so I saw this fight.
Winner: Ripper.
Ripper vs Everything Else
Well, first off there was a failed attack on Shunt. Although Shunt was lifted, he wasnt toppled. Then, my personal favourite bit, Ripper tipped over Refbot while we were looking through the Ref Cam:proud: Funny as hell. Then at some point, Shunt got flipped onto Killalot, so Killalot was running around with Shunt perched on his side which was also funny. In the end the HRs couldnt take Ripper out, so they had to quickly fire the floor flipper, which brought the entertainment to a halt. Bah.
Winner: Ripper.
Ripper vs Firestorm
Ripper was easily upended in a position it couldnt self right from... Thankfully Firestorm did the honourable thing and turned it back over... A bit of frantic manouvering later and Ripper was propper up on top of an angle grinder and counted out. Then Firestorm once more did the honourable thing, tossing Ripper OOTA and away from the house robots wrath.
Winner: Firestorm
Many congratualtions to Graham and Hazel, Im sure youll be very happy together:)
Ive done mine, but Frank banned me from promoting my reviews in his threads!
*cough*Panicattackforum*cough*
WHERE is FG anyway? Hes not normally late?
There he is!!
Dammit...make my posting look stupid and irrelevant would you??
Happily:)
Am i right in saying that this is the first
time that Firestorm has flipped an other robot
OOTA?
No youre not. They threw Reactor 2 out in series 5, finally quieting those who said they couldnt do it due to their flipper orientation. they have since thrown S3 OOTA, and from what I heard 2 in the commonwealth Carnage, and now 2 in tonights heat.
...No-one likes a smart arse Graham:proud:
Which two did it chuck out in commonwealth event?
Ah, we cant reveale those, because that episode was never shown on BBC2. Us FRA forum members cant reveale it until the (unlikely) day that the BBC show it.
It was a good heat this week wasnt it? Especially the fw battle:)
Hey, the info might be in the special thread elsewhere on the Forum.
Wont post it here so not to upset the little people who get a kick out of pretending they know secrets.
Yeah, go to the missing extreme episodes section of the forum if you want to find out...
Some eejit posted a review over there for all to see....your choice though! :proud:
Where is Alex Mordue at ? He in Uni or something ?
Hey Frank, cheers for the reviews. I read my first post and feel kinda insensitive now.
What a great show, though.
I thought they were a bit too old for Uni. They were into their early to mid twenties in series 2 werent they?
Thats no problem Mike, you werent to know.
Matty I dont think youre ever too old for Uni.
Good to hear that attitude, Frank!
