    STU!

    Need an answer here!

    Good news guys. As a special surprise, today I am giving you not one, not two, but three, yes THREE battles. Those will be, of course, the last two first round melees and the Commonwealth Carnage.

    FIGHT 1

    FROM HEMEL HEMPSTEAD IN HERTFORDSHIRE; BEHEMOTH

    This robot came second in the last Super Seeds Championship. It beat robots like Dominator 2, Gemini, Wheely Big Cheese and even Razer, before losing to Bigger Brother. Now it has six wheel drive, a much more powerful lifting scoop, able to lift 300 kilos, a deadly axe and very hard armour. Sadly, Behemoth has suffered from multiple reliability problems in the past.

    FROM COLVILLE IN LECESTERSHIRE; RAGING KNIGHTMARE

    They competed in three wars and three annihilators with Knightmare, Spirit of Knightmare and Raging Reality. This is their most recent and best robot. This is an invertable box with a powerful top mounted flipper. It has a very good track and OOTA record. It even beat the now reigning champion Typhoon 2 in the annihilator. However, the armour is thin, and the flipper is limited to only 30 flips.

    FROM ESSEX; SIR CHROMALOT

    This robot is made out of a truck wheel hub of all things. Its flipper is much more powerful than last year, and acts as a much better srimech. This robot generally never loses on the first round of major RW events and the team are always in for the entertainment. Apparantly, they dont like commentators, especially ones named Jonathon Pearce. How that works I honestly dont know.

    FROM NORWICH; SPLINTER

    Recently, this former semi-finalist was sold to a Dutch team, but, for now, he is back with his old builders and original creators. Little has changed though from its last appearance in the first SSC though, same axe, same claws, same tougher armour, same front wedge, same unable to self-right in certain positions-ness, little hope if you want my opinion.

    ROBOTEERS STAND BY!

    Booth 1;Behemoth and Raging Knightmare
    Booth 2;Sir Chromalot and Splinter

    House Robots are Growler and Shunt

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

    Well, the four robots start jossling for the best position. I guess the best position would be the winning one. Behemoth gets under Splinter...AND BEHEMOTH FLIPS SPLINTER OVER! The axe of Splinter shot out as it got flipped and I dont think it will self-right from there Im afraid. Meanwhile, a very good battle is being engaged between Raging Knightmare and Sir Chromalot. Sir Chromalot flips the Knightmare. But Raging Knightmare self-rights, but at the same time, uses up one of those 30 CO2 flips, wasting energy. Now Raging Knightmare flips old Chromy. Sir Chromalot self-rights, in comes Behemoth, he flips Raging Knightmare over, another CO2 flip is used up. Raging Knightmare boys, Id be careful if I were you. Meanwhile, Growler is hovering around Splinter (no, NOT like a humming bird! How can you imagine Growler flying?! Horrific thought, but not much use here). Meanwhile, we still have a good battle between the other three robots, as Raging Knightmare flips Sir Chromalot, but it is flipped by Behemoth. This is a very good and close battle so far...OH, AND RAGING KNIGHTMARE FLIPS SIR CHROMALOT INTO THE RAIL! That cant be good for Chromys health. In comes Behemoth...WHO FLIPS SIR CHROMALOT OUT OF THE ARENA! Oh dear! Well, maybe next year it will get off the first round. Meanwhile, we know that Splinter wont! Refbot finally counts it out, and Growler gives a bite. Behemoth now toys with Raging Knightmare and activates the pit. Growler slams Splinter into the pit.

    CEASE!

    Splinter is left in splinters. Sir Chromalot is out of the arena
    BEHEMOTH AND RAGING KNIGHTMARE GO THROUGH!


    FIGHT 2

    This is the final first round melee before round 2

    FROM ST LEONARDS ON SEA IN EAST SUSSEX; GEMINI

    This is the original clusterbot, a robot with the ability to split into two parts. We already saw it win the Clusterbot Clash up, can it win here. It is powerful with its flippers, each able to lift 5 times the twins own body weight, and the armour is strong for being so lightweight, but its easy to push and, like Black and Blue from earlier, if one half goes, the whole robot is out.

    FROM MAIDSTONE IN KENT; S.M.I.D.S.Y

    This robot was built over the internet. In case youve forgotten, or youre new to Robot Wars, the name means Sorry Mate I Didnt See You. This invertable box has a lifting ramp at the front to flip or strand oppodents and a disc at the back to cut its foes to shreds. Like Sir Chromalot, it isnt usually a first round loser, but the top armour is suspect to axes, and it usually ends up out of the arena.

    FROM ST AGNUS IN CORNWALL; ST AGRO

    Lost in the first round of series 6 (Ironically to SMIDSY), but made that up by reaching the semi-finals of series 7. It looks a big like Wheely Big Cheese, and it has a unique weapon; a double sided double flipper, that can easily flip robots over the fence. The weapon covers 40% of the robot, thats good if it works, but if it doesnt...it IS prone to flipper failure, and the wheels are suspect too.

    FROM BELFAST IN NORTHEN IRELAND; WELD-DOR 3

    This robot made it to the quarter finals in the first world championship, but it has been overly unimpressive in the UK series of Robot Wars. This green box wedge shape has a nasty-ish flipper on board that can easily right the robot, and, if I remember correctly, it also has a disc at the back. The wheels seem a little exposed though.

    ROBOTEERS, STAND BY!

    Booth 1;Gemini and SMIDSY
    Booth 2;St Agro and Weld-dor 3

    House robots are Dead Metal and Cassius Chrome

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

    And the final first round melee is off and under way. Gemini splits immediatly. One half goes for St Agro, the other goes for Weld-dor 3. SMIDSY stays in the centre, maybe waiting for his moment to strike. One half of Gemini flips Welddor 3, the other half IS flipped by St Agro. Weld-dor self-rights. Now SMIDSY DOES come in on the attack...the attack of Weld-dor that is. SMIDSY gets underneath Weld-dor and pushes it towards Cassius Chrome, who pecks at Weld-dors armour and pushes it to the centre of the ring. What Cassius Chrome may lack in attack power he makes up for in pushing power. Meanwhile, both halves of Gemini are concentrating their dirty work on St Agro, flipping it around. Of course, thats the same mistake Scraptosaur made in Series 7, St Agro beat it after that. Now SMIDSY rams into one half of Gemini, and rams it into Dead Metal. Dead Metal brings his saw down, and remember that Geminis armour is lightweight to fit in with the rules. The other half tries to save its wounded twin. It tries to flip, but Dead Metal is really difficult to flip, only Gravity has managed to flip him totally over in the past. St Agro is now turning his attentions to Weld-dor 3 who is fighting another very good battle. Dead Metal lets go of Gemini, who flips SMIDSY. St Agro flips SMIDSY too, stupidly re-righting it. Oh well. Gemini is beign pushed by Weld-dor 3. Together, they weigh 100 kilos, but when they split, its half that weight. Gemini escapes. SMIDSY hits the pit release. Weld-dor travels across the pit..HAH HAH HAH!!! WELD-DOR IS GOING DOWN WITH THE PIT!!! I LOVE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS! So Weld-dor has gone, and Gemini is pushed by SMIDSY. I sense that the clusterbot is suffering here. St Agro gets underneath one...and FLIPS IT OUT OF THE ARENA! One out, both out...and SMIDSY pits the other half just to make sure.

    CEASE!

    Weld-dor really needs a lot more welding if it is to survive. Gemini develops Cancer (see where Im coming from?)
    ST AGRO AND SMIDSY, THEY GO THROUGH!

    So, we have our 24 brave and noble warriors, all ready to go into round two. Well let Typhoon 2, M2, Storm 2, Mute, Tornado, Dantomkia, X-terminator, Tough as Nails, Dominator 2, Terrorhurtz, Firestorm 5, Bigger Brother, Gravity, Spawn Again, Bulldog Breed, Diotoir, Thermidor 2, Panic Attack, Pussycat, Wheely Big Cheese, Behemoth, Raging Knightmare, SMIDSY and St Agro lick down their wounds for the next round. But first, a special event.

    This battle is a battle of the Commonwealth, and a tribute to a show that was never shown on terrestrial TV, despite the BBC saying that they would...about a year ago!!! So, to try my best, we will have a super rumble with eight robots from eight different countries doing battle to find out who is the best of the best. So, let the carnage begin!

    COMMONWEALTH CARNAGE!
    (Note;This may or may not be exact to the real CC. The robots may not be the same and neither may the countries they represent. This is what Im most comfortable with, so bear with me).

    Lets have a look at the robots as they come in. First of all, we see Panic Attack. For this clash, the series 5 self-righting version is being used. Next is Terror Turtle, with the maple leaf attached. Follwoing them in are our last two robots for this booth, Cerberus and Crushtacean, looking ready.
    In the other booth, we see the Australian representative...err...Spin Doctor? Yes, you did read that correctly, they are representing Australia because I didnt really know any Aussies and they look like part of the Australian flag. Next is Corkscrew. Here, the series 6 version is up and running. Then we see Firestorm, looking ready and finally, flying the Irish flag, and one that says Firestorm stinks! is Diotoir. Oh dear.


    FROM AUSTRALIA; SPIN DOCTOR

    This is a classic full body spinner. It was inspired by a dream. Riiight. It has cutting teeth and a beam to point it in the right direction. However, it has been known not to spin when told too, has suffered a number of problems and the underbelly is exposed

    FROM SCOTLAND; CORKSCREW

    This robot is basically a lorry wheel hub, like Sir Chromalot, with basic Corkscrew add-ons. Like Spin Doctor, it is covered in teeth, creating a unique 360 degree killing zone. Its fast at 20 miles per hour... maybe too fast, and it has suffered pitting too often.

    FROM ENGLAND; FIRESTORM 5

    A Commonwealth champion in the past, Firestorm MUST be the favourite here. This is your classic wedge shape, perfect for getting under oppodents, and it has that very powerful flipping arm, able to flip ANYTHING! (Ask Mr Psycho). I dont think its 2 wheel drive will hinder it much here today.

    FROM IRELAND; DIOTOIR

    Oh honestly! Do you think Firestorm will NOT notice THAT!!! This robot is not to be underestimated, its heavy, the spring loaded bucket scoop is powerful, its low to the ground, steady at 6mph, but the fur covering makes this robot very flammable (ask Sgt Bash).

    FROM WALES; PANIC ATTACK

    This robot beat Cassius to win the second series of Robot Wars, but it has lagged in more recent wars. It has lifting forks, a top mounted srimech able to grab an oppodent and fend off blows, and its skirts prevent anyone getting underneath. The armour is tough, but the self-righting slow.

    FROM CANADA; TERROR TURTLE

    Not the best robot on the robot wars planet, but mostly there for the fun. This robot runs inverted on a unique turtle shaped body and has a nasty horizontal cutting disc to slice oppodents. Its wheels are exposed, the armour is weak, and some turltes are endangered species...so is this one!

    FROM CYPRUS; CERBERUS

    They want to do better than the SSC they were in earlier. Well, they cant do any worse, can they? This robot has the grabbing jaw of a dog, the slashing claws of a lion and the ramming tail of a rhino, plus a srimech to right it. The weapon may not be effective, but well see.

    FROM SOUTH AFRICA; CRUSHTACEAN

    The final commentitor for this Commonwealth Carnage made the semi-finals of the third world championship before being beaten by the Sri Lankan Supernova. This invertable robot has a unique pair of grabbing claws that are powered by gloves and hand movements rather than by remote control. Its strong, but the wheels are exposed, the drivers not great, and the ariel is located between the flashing eyes. Not good!


    ROBOTEERS STAND BY!

    Booth 1;Corkscrew, Diotoir, Firestorm and Spin Doctor
    Booth 2;Cerberus, Crushtacean, Panic Attack and Terror Turtle

    House Robots are Sgt Bash and Mr Psycho. Both want revenge on Firestorm.

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

    OK, 4 robots are bad enough, but what is going to happen with 8 robots? Well, Firestorm goes straight for Crushtacean, maybe trying to side strand it. It gets clean underneath, thats good, but doesnt flip it. Panic Attack, meanwhile, is lifting up Cerberus, barking wildly but not doing a great deal at the moment. OK, maybe it CAN do worse. Diotoir is chasing down Spin Doctor, who is actually spinning for a change. Terror Turtle has a dig at the back of Firestorm, but nothing more, it allows Crushtacean to escape though, cutting right across the flipper of Diotoir, who flips, but only lifts the back of Crushtacean up, not much. No word from Corkscrew just yet, as Panic Attack disgards Cerberus and heads for Terror Turtle. Crushtacean grabs Cerberus and drives him round. Diotoir gets underneath the spinning Spin Doctor...and FLIPS!!! The bar whacks on the ground, sending Spin Doctor jumping a bit, but the Australian manages to land on his wheels. Panic Attack is bullying Terror Turtle, as Firestorm bullies Panic Attack, where is Corkscrew?...Oh, there he is and OH, WHAT HAPPENED?!?! CORKSCREW HIT TERROR TURTLE IN THE WHEEL! AND, FROM THE LOOK OF THINGS, I THINK A WHEEL IS DAMAGED! Well, Panic Attack and Firestorm wisly move away and take on each other, they hold an age old grudge! Meanwhile, Crushtacean, still holding Cerberus, presses the pit release. Crushtacean now pits Cerberus! It just wasnt their lucky day was it? Oh well, Firestorm now heads for Diotoir, and flips him into the wall, as Corkscrew bashes Spin Doctor into the wall as well. The Scots are doing great so far, but it is grabbed by South Africa, in the form of Crushtacean. Diotoir tries to right...oh, Sgt Bash comes in and sets Diotoir on fire! Diotoir was not in a CPZ and wasnt immobilized, where is Refbot? Oh, hes counting out Terror Turtle, thats what. Panic Attack waits, so does Mr Psycho. Firestorm comes in...and flips SGT BASH OVER! Maybe Firestorm was saying Oh well, if Refbot doesnt want to give Bash a yellow card, Ill do one better, Ill give him a RED CARD! Thats what hes done now! Refbot finally hits ten, and Mr Psycho swings the hammer. The armour, fibreglass on top, crumples under the sheer weight. Now Firestorm gets under Diotoir and effortlessly throws him out of the arena. Crushtacean is having a nibble at Panic Attack, who lifts the crab bot up. Corkscrew is no longer in the picture at the moment, as Mr Psycho picks up Terror Turtle. Imagine the armour! Firestorm drives into Spin Doctor, who I think is immobilized...and flips HIM OUT OF THE ARENA TOO! Great display from Firestorm. Now Terror Turtle is placed on the floor flipper...and THERE SHE BLOWS! And Crashes! Firestorm now goes for Panic Attack...and flips it over! Mr Psycho turns...ah, whats this? Firestorm is pushing Panic Attack towards the wall and hovering round it. Maybe to let it self-right. How nice. Refbot comes in as Panic Attack starts to right OH, NO YOU DONT! says Firestorm as he rams into Refbot. Panic Attack is self-righting. Also there...OH, BUT IN COMES CORKSCREW AND HE HITS THE SRIMECH! IT KNOCKS PANIC ATTACK ON HIS SIDE AND I THINK IT BROKE THE SRIMECH TOO! Panic Attack has been diabled and Crushtacean and Firestorm are not happy! Firestorm tries to flip Corkscrew, but is scratched for his troubles. So is Crushtacean, but he grabs Corkscrew and gets him in the pit too! Serves you right! You ruined a good fight! Refbot now has no chose...he must count out Panic Attack. And in comes Mr Psycho, but he is being attacks by Firestorm and Crushtacean! Theyre ganging up on him! Is this fair? Possibly. Mr Psycho cant let Firestorm get underneath, but he is forced to drop Panic Attack on the drop zone. Firestorm flips Crushtacean, who takes a terrible blow from Mr Psychos hammer! OUCH! Firestorm chases Mr Psycho back to his CPZ and tries to flip him over, but it isnt working. The crowd count down for the drop zone. A Washing Machine falls down and hits Panic Attack with an enourmous SMASH! No damage to Panic Attack, but its still out. Meanwhile, I think Firestorm has bashed Mr Psycho into submission, and speaking of wish, I think Crushtacean may be out too. I think that blow knocked its ariel off. Refbot comes over and begins the count. Crushtacean is counted out...OH, AND FIRESTORM FLIPS THE REFBOT OVER! GREAT!!!

    CEASE

    And, at the end of the day, you can indeed truly say that Firestorm is the only bot left standing.

    FIRESTORM WINS THE COMMONWEALTH CARNAGE!


    Ill have the next round line-up later.

  4. #24

  5. #25

  6. #26

  7. #27

  8. #28

  9. #29

  10. #30
    Next two battles, coming up.

    FROM CARDIFF, PANIC ATTACK

    FROM ST AGNUS IN CORNWALL, ST AGRO

    FROM IPSWICH IN SUFFOLK, STORM 2

    ROBOTEERS STAND BY

    Booth 1;Panic Attack, St Agro
    Booth 2;Storm 2

    House Robots are Matilda and Shunt

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

    And off go our next three round 2 hopefuls. Whos favourite here? Ask a stupid question, it must be Storm 2, using every bit of his 18horsepower drive (or something like that) to slam into any victim he can find. In this first case, that victim is Panic Attack. Even Panics skirts cant protect him from the charge of Storm 2. Storm 2 is underneath Panic Attack, and drives it towards the wall. KER-RASH!!! PANIC ATTACK IS SLAMMED INTO THE ARENA WALL! Thankfully, it lands on the right side of the arena and also the right way up. St Agro comes in and tries to flip Storm 2, but can only get underneath and lift slightly. Storm is now angry and slams into St Agro. Fancy eating a bit of arena wall, my boy? Hungry? Good, cos here it comes...DOUBLE KER-RASH!!! St Agro goes flying away...literally, straight into Matilda! Matilda comes in AND DESTROYS ONE OF ST AGROS WHEELS! A WHEEL COMES OFF AND BREAKS COMPLETLY! Now poor St Agro is limping. Storm 2 is hovering around St Agro (Stop thinking about Hummingbirds!!!), wheres Panic Attack? Oh, hes doing his usual hobby and taking on Shunt. I dont know. Hes slotted his forks underneath Shunt. Shunt will NOT like this. Meanwhile, St Agro has given up, and Storm 2 rams it again, literally INTO the rail. Matilda gives it a WHACK and St Agro flies one more time...out of the arena.

    CEASE

    St Agro goes back to Heaven
    PANIC ATTACK AND STORM 2 AVOID PANICKING AND GO STORMING THROUGH!


    But whilst this is happening...

    FROM HAMPSHIRE, M2

    FROM WORCHESTER, PUSSYCAT

    FROM SAWTRY IN CAMBRIDGESHIRE, TORNADO

    Pussycat should be nervous...both these robots have dodged his claws and beaten him in the past.

    ROBOTEERS STAND BY

    Booth 1;Pussycat
    Booth 2;M2, Tornado

    House Robots are Cassius Chrome and Growler

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

    And off we go AGAIN! Tornado, once again using his wedge and flail, comes in straight for Pussycat. Once, when he fought the cat, he tore bits of armour off, and the cat lost a wheel. Tornado is trying to repeat that right here, right now. M2 also comes in, and flips Pussycat. That doesnt worry Pussycat, it can run any way up. To put it in an understandable way, it always lands on its feet (Cos lets face it, apart from the early cat face, it doesnt even LOOK like a REAL cat). Tornado rams into Pussycat again, shoving it into Cassius Chrome. Cassius Chrome wiggles his fists, and knocks the cat about, but with no real lasting damage thus far. M2 gets underneath and flips again, and, like in their S7 clash, Pussycat nearly goes out of the arena. Saved though by the lack of room. Still, Tornado rams it again, this time into the OTHER CPZ...where Growler is. If youre new to Robot Wars, if you go into a CPZ, the Corner Patrol Zone, it basically means the House Robots can have a go at you. And the thing is, Growler HATES cats (he is a dog after all). He grabbs Pussycat in his jaws and drives it to the centre of the ring before letting go. M2 and Tornado give chase. Tornado rams Pussycat over the flame pit. Theres a cat on a hot tin roof if I ever saw one (I dont know, ask your grandparents), M2 slides in...OH, IT FLIPS TORNADO! Now things could get interesting. Like Pussycat, Tornado can run either way up, but its wedge is all but useless. Now Pussycat can damage it, and it tries to, but Tornado is still trying to push...and its succeeding...so far. M2 comes in and flips Pussycat AGAIN! This is all M2 and Tornado. M2 flips Tornado back over again. Whatever it is, neither robot is giving Pussycat a chance to fight back. This hardly seems fair from where Im sitting. Anyways, were into the last 10 seconds, M2 flips Pussycat, Tornado rams it into the arena wall, could the cat STILL fly over...the answer is NO, it just escapes.

    CEASE

    And saved by the CEASE. The judges will have to decide.

    And Im being told we dont even NEED to see any highlights.

    Pussycat should be Scaredy-cat
    M2 AND TORNADO GO THROUGH.


    Ill be concentrating on Dinowarrior Destruction for now, but when I come back...

    Weve got ANOTHER blistering round one battle. Will Behemoth squash its oppodents? Will Mute silence them? Or will X-Terminator...err...Exterminate them? Find out when BEHEMOTH TAKES ON MUTE AND X-TERMINATOR
    And then, well be getting straight to the point (literally) when we see eight robots looking to axe each other to death. Its our AXE ATTACK.

    See ya soon.
