ACTIVATE!!!

We have an eclectic Round 4 here; a flipper, an axe, and a spinner! Goodness me! So, what's on the cards this round? Well it starts with Wedge Devolution, the old codger that he is, attempting a rush towards - not Revolver Ocelot - but Black Panther! What folly is this? Or is it folly? Perhaps Steve has memories of last round, with Black Panther damaging the internals of Gehenna 2 with whack after diabolical whack? In any case, Alex Holt was not expecting that in the least and so is taken by surprise - Wedge Devolution easily slips by the front, tilts the Doomforall robot up, and sends it crashing onto its head with a mighty FLIP! The American spinner, rather confused by the lack of attention, has spun up and is trying over to the slots. Sonic, Sonic, Sonic! Ooh, we've finally got a zinger, boys! Steve is grateful for the slot activation, for as the bumper on the corner of the arena starts to reach even more menacing speeds than before, Steve begins to shove Black Panther there! It isn't easy though, as Mr. Alex starts to right his machine. But, of course, in comes the Ocelot wielding his Revolver - I mean his bar, and it connects with Black Panther's axe, warping the shaft and sending Alex's machine spinning out of Wedge Devo's grip! Black Panther is now righted, but its axe is now useless and this is monstrously not good for the Doomforall team!

Smelling blood in the water, Wedge Devo charges forward to finish off the axebot, but surprisingly Black Panther is able to keep its flipper pointed at Wedge Devo! What does this mean? Nothing, at all, really, for Wedge Devo still slips underneath and with a mere toss, Black Panther is inverted again! An irate Alex tries to use the axe, but it's not working, so he tries the flipper instead... only for Black Panther to tilt up a little, then come back down! It looks like there's no more for Black Panther to do but be counted out, and The Watcher comes over... only to be attacked by Wedge Devo as well! Flip! Over goes the ref?!? You know what that means! Not just a red card, but that means the house robots are ANGRY!! Rorschach zooms out like Halley's Comet eager to punish Wedge Devo for its arrogance, but Revolver Ocelot, sneaky little bassa' that he is, smacks Rorschach's corner and knocks him askew a little! King Leer comes forward, QUITE nettled, but the competitors aren't focused on him right now - they want Rorschach to pay and now Wedge Devo's made his way over to the Watchmen-themed house bot! Can Wedge Devo throw over 200kg of bot atilt? Yes he can! With an even greater thrust than before, the mighty Rorschach is toppled! He tries to right himself, but he can't! You son of dastards, you! King Leer crashes into Wedge Devo's rear, whacking away with the crescent arms, but they do no more than annoy the diminutive-by-comparison Scotbot! Here's what does do more than annoy Steve - a major slam into the arena wall!

Meanwhile, The Watcher finally manages to right itself, and then makes its way over to its fallen comrade, Rorschach, trying to right it. Josh smirks to himself, revs Ocelot's bar up, and knocks Rorschach out of The Watcher's grip, also knocking a piece of Rorschach's scoops off! If robots could sigh, The Watcher would certainly be doing so right now, and moves over to count out Black Panther as a rather unexpected Round 4 comes to a close!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!

CEASE!

The Black Panther's hunt is over - with a mere whimper than a roar!

And that means the stage is set for the final!
