I think TAN would fail to grip most of Dominator, but they coud nip those wheel guards nicely.
Id also say Dominators axe, while paling in comparison to Terrorhurtz, still does the business. Remember, it killed Bigger Brother in a straight fight.
Very true about the axe, Frank. Why wouldnt TaN be able to grip Dominator? Are you just thinking in terms of sliding off vertically? Maybe youre right, but I think theyd probably get some kind of grip. Ill have to have another look at it. TaN probably couldnt grip Dominator from the front (it could just reverse out), but with the angle of the jaws around the rear of Dominator I think theyd be pretty securely clamped.
George: pretty much my point; I think they could well win it, and (polycarb failing aside) quite possibly would (well agree to differ), but I certainly wouldnt claim that any robot would find Razer a pushover.

Yes, but Bigger Brother was somewhat off-form (slow, sluggish, tired etc.) in the semi-finals, and so it wasnt too difficult to dominate them (a fully fit BB would probably have had them OOTA or beaten on aggression). Having said that of course, Spawn and Hypno both failed to beat BB in the melee, but as we know they were both unreliable, something which Dominator never is. (one reason why its done quite well despite the axe - reliable robots tend to get the luck in long drawn out battles)
Theyre still a force to be reckoned with, but in a fight with another top bot, I wouldnt fancy them to win, based on the evidence from 5th/6th/Extreme fights anyway. (unless luck plays a part, which it often does. In that respect its a great endurance bot like Wild Thing is, as it always seems to last longer than the opposition and dominate at the end of fights)
Andrew: Yes they are still around - they pulled out of the 7th war with a broken base at the last minute, they wouldve been 6th seeds otherwise.
Also, whatever war its been in, 4,5 and 6, Dominator has never failed to reach the Second Round of the semi-finals, despite what everyone else thinks will happen (everyone thought WBC and BB would beat it...but NOOOOOOOOO).
No stephen They were ment to be the 4th seeds and in heat O as they lost to the winner of the 6th wars tornado
While checking the links on the old RW site, I noticed a web-page for Dominator 3. I didnt check it, but it sounds interesting
Also remember that Dominator 2 can out accelerate a motor bike so has very good speed.
This seems to be a very interseting thread, its turned from a world champ review, to Razer, and now to the official Dominator 2 thread!
What i think also was good about Dominator 2 apart from the speed and reliabilty and tough armour was that the axe was very sharp and could embedd deep into opponents armour even if it was thick. It could then use the torque to push about opponents and this was a good attacking combo. The usually sturdy Bigger Brother was outclassed, but they dont seem to like axe bots (Ultor, Kat 3, Dominator 2, Terrorhurtz...)
Bigger Brother, in their Ultor fight, as Ive already said, were ROBBED!
Kat 3, Dominator 2 and Terrorhurtz, OK, they did suffer, but they should have won the decition against Ultor. I mean, it was wiping the floor with the Cambridge Contraption, then its weapon (which it wasnt really using anyway) broke off...and thus it loses! That doesnt make any sense.
Of course, Ultor thought the judges decition was wrong too, and thus gave the place to them...but thats not the point.
Also, Kat 3 DID get through their armour, but really, BB lost due to driver error.
Ultor just said that i have heard it said that ultor tram had to go back to work and btw i think that ultor did dominaate that fight
I heard that Story too Martyn, but i dont know if its true.
Chris, i disagree, i think that although it was close, Ultor has won the fight on aggression. Most of the crowd and the judges agree with me. However, i was very surprised when it was handed over to Bigger Brother. I couldnt quite believe it, it was a very controversial moment.
By the way, the skill was on Kat 3s part to get the axe in there. That panel isnt easy to hit by any means.
