Two months later, after eight wonderful, incredibly fun exams (please insert sarcasm), here I am again! Ive still got one exam left, but its only on Tuesday so Ive got enough time to bring on the next Annihilator round!

Round 3 is about to begin - with more space in the arena, will the remaining robots be able to unleash even more hell on each other?

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
With Psyclone and Whirligig 4.0 again being static apart from their spinning shells, Push-Ish charged at Forklifts Revenge, who was in turn charging Whirligig! Whirligig bravely ran Forklifts Revenge down, aiming to attack the side, but FR turned, slid the forks underneath and gave Whirligig a toss! The spinner almost landed on Psyclone, who was going around FR to reach Push-Ish, who now slammed into FRs rear! Unfortunately, as Push-Ish gradually shoved FR, it was fair game for Psyclone, who whacked it in the side and knocked it out of position, allowing FR to escape and come after Whirligig 4.0! As Whirligig came to go for Push-Ish, it bumped into Psyclone, and the result was a resonating bang! Psyclones teeth hit Whirligig and sent it flying, but the impact also edged Psyclone into FR and Push-Ish! In the confusion, Psyclone was able to strike Push-Ish in the side again, injuring the armour! FR now reversed after Push-Ish as it spun off, and ended up parallel to it as the wedge recovered! The two struggled with each other, then had to break away as Psyclone and Whirligig 4.0 attacked, both just escaping a smash! FR quickly caught up with Push-Ish and managed to run into its side, shoving hard to slip the prongs past the skirts, then tossing Push-Ish! Bouncing on the floor, Push-Ish tipped onto the arena disc, and skimmed off back into the reach of FR, who now shoved it into Whirligig 4.0!
When Push-Ish flew away, Forklifts Revenge was able to get its prongs under Whirligig 4.0 again and make the spinner fly like a UFO, but in turn it recieved a bash on its rear wedge from Psyclone! It went after Whirligig, who was going for Push-Ish - but Push-Ish went straight back to FR, ramming into its side and taking it into the west wall! Push-Ish then backed off, and when FR tried to escape, Push-Ish rammed it again, right into Psyclone! FR flew from the impact, into the perfect position for Whirligig to attack! Meanwhile, Push-Ish reversed away from Psyclone, then came back after FR, who was under pressure from Whirligig again, and took another knock that ripped a skirt! The only way out for FR was to go after Psyclone - just taking a knock from Push-Ish, it did so, but as the prongs went under Psyclones teeth scraped FR, resulting in FR flying off as it fired the flipper, and Psyclone being tipped against the floor, bouncing off in an arc into the wall, bouncing back and forth before settling down and running off to spin up again! Whirligig 4.0 quickly hit FR as it skimmed - the impact took out a motor on one wheel and left FR moving slightly wonkily! Unfortunately, FR recovered quickly enough to attempt a flip on Whirligig, but went a bit off and fired the flipper as Whirligig struck, tipping Whirligig against the floor, into the air and straight back down! Push-Ish finally got its chance again and rammed FR in the side, taking it into the west wall again!
Push-Ish held the helpless Forklifts Revenge as Psyclone and Whirligig 4.0 eagerly approached, Whirligig getting there first - and ungratefully striking both robots! Psyclone was then able to whack Push-Ish in the side, then turn and smash FR before it could get in a flip! Whirligig 4.0 followed the flying Push-Ish and hit it in the side again, causing more wounds in the armour! Push-Ish had to endure another attack from Whirligig in the rear before it could escape, but Psyclone was coming after it! However, FR got there first, and the two became parallel to each other again! It was FR who was exposed to Psyclone and Whirligig 4.0, so they hit it together! The combined impact sent FR shoving Push-Ish backwards on its short flight! Push-Ish reacted quickly and rammed FR in the rear wedge, taking it into the north wall before realising its mistake and dodging Psyclone and Whirligig 4.0! There was no escape for FR, who made a desperate run towards the pit release, but was hit by Psyclone, turning it around but it missed the release! As Martyn tried to turn his robot around to attack, Psyclone struck the side again! With that final impact, the battered Forklifts Revenge had its life wiped out! Not looking too healthy itself, Push-Ish kept away from the two spinners during the countdown, although Whirligig 4.0 made a playful move towards it, with Steven making a evil Professor Vengeance style Bwahahaha! An omen of things to come, perhaps?
CEASE!

Forklifts Revenge is eliminated!
PSYCLONE, PUSH-ISH AND WHIRLIGIG 4.0 GO THROUGH!

Damage Report:
*Push-Ishs armour was badly damaged - it was mainly repaired, but might be a bit flimsy.
*Psyclone and Whirligig 4.0 only suffered a few dents which were hammered back into place.

Great fight!

Psyclone vs. Push-Ish vs. Whirligig 4.0

[steven_mcg]

All hail the return of the FanFic King!

ANNIHILATOR
ROUND 4
Psyclone (17) VS Push-ish (16) VS WHIRLIGIG 4.0 (19)

Spin, hurt greatly and avoid the Pit if possible. I really dont care who I go for here, as long as I kill someone. Howwibly. Time to vent some anger over the PTT5 sign-ups jinx...

Wooty fights Richard

Tactics for final 3...

...Sh*t, two evil spinners, Im aiming for the weaker of the two, and box-rush Whirligig and push it into Psyclone. Keep onto Whirligig right from the start.

[velociraptor]

Just realised how long its been since I started this tournament - over 10 months! Of course, it was on hold for 2.5.

Round 4 is upon us, and just three of the six robots left! Will we have two spinners in the final, or a spinner and a shover?

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
As Psyclone and Whirligig 4.0 began spinning, Push-Ish quickly accelerated towards Whirligig! Whirligig ran, but reaching third gear, Push-Ish caught up! They made contact, but Whirligigs ring was spinning, and it hit the Hardox wedge and sent Push-Ish away - right into Psyclone! Bouncing off, Push-Ish was left with a dent in its side - seeing Whirligig attacking, it reversed into it with its scooped rear, and went flying again, but almost knocked Whirligig into Psyclone! Push-Ish skimmed close to the pit release corner, and was able to nudge the release - unfortunately, Psyclone and Whirligig were approaching while it was cornered! Push-Ish defiantly charged, slamming into Whirligig - this time, Whirligig was nudged into Psyclone, and bounced off again, but went right into Push-Ish who was bouncing off the wall! As Push-Ish went back into the wall, Whirligig just glanced Psyclone as it skimmed again before finally coming to a stop! Push-Ish was left with a painful looking injury in its side - it desperately tried to reach Whirligig before it could spin up again, but was glanced by Psyclone and knocked off course, deepening the wound in its side! Spinning again, Whirligig 4.0 angrily charged the disorientated Push-Ish, managing to hit it in a front corner! Both spinners now aimed to attack Push-Ish again - the wedge backed off, then charged Whirligig again! The Hardox wedge made Whirligig skim again, but again Push-Ish was spun off, and Psyclone was able to move to hit it!
The strike from Psyclone hit Push-Ish on its less damaged right side, but Psyclone was ready to follow it and attack the big injury! However, Push-Ish reacted quickly enough to dodge it - it went for Whirligig 4.0 with its scoop, but just missed! Immediately, it charged again and again hit Whirligig with the wedge! Whirligig edged towards Psyclone but just missed it, while Push-Ish was again introduced to the wall! Again the rammer came in with its rear, hitting Whirligig again, and this time the two spinners made contact again! Bouncing off as Psyclones teeth whacked it, Whirligig hit the wedge of the also flying Push-Ish, and hit the wall! Reacting quickly, Push-Ish attacked with its wedge, making Whirligig bounce off again, and another nudge took Whirligig into the wall again, slowing it down enough for Push-Ish to get underneath while just avoiding Psyclone! Backing off with Whirligig 4.0 on its wedge, taking a slashing from the drum, Push-Ish rammed it into Psyclone, and away went Whirligig 4.0! Push-Ish went after it before Psyclone could cause any unwanted damage - while it had been scratched, Whirligig 4.0s thick titanium ring had protected it from immobilisation! Wanting to end the fight before one of the spinners did, Push-Ish quickly rammed Whirligig into the pit release, and began charging towards the pit! Psyclone moved to intercept - and glanced Push-Ish on the corner! As Push-Ish skimmed a short distance, Whirligig fell off the wedge! But it was close enough for Push-Ish to come in again, stop the powering-up spinner, and dump the previously impressive Whirligig 4.0 in the pit! It then chose to dive in itself before Psyclone could cause any more damage!
CEASE!

Whirligig 4.0 is eliminated!
PSYCLONE AND PUSH-ISH GO THROUGH TO THE ANNIHILATOR FINAL!

Damage Report:
*Push-Ish suffered bad damage to its armour - again, most of it was repaired, but the armour isnt at its strongest.
*Psyclone was mainly fine.

One more reason to hate rammers

ANNIHILATOR
ROUND 5 - FINAL
Psyclone (17) VS Push-ish (16)

This could be very close. Either Push-ish will condemn it to the same fate as Whirligig or Psyclone will take advantage of the weakenened armour and slash it to death. I know who Id like to win, though...

Wonderful to see you as a regular again, Richie. We need an influx of fights now more than ever, if you ask me.

[andrewj]

Phew, nice fight again!

Psyclone vs. Push-Ish

Not the draw I expected to be honest, I thought it would be either a Push-Ish vs. Whirligig final or a Psyclone vs. Whirlygig Final.

That in mind Im quite happy with this draw. In the previous rounds I have managed to cause quite a bit of damage to it. If I can stay away from the hazards and walls and keep spun up as much as possible, I should be able to cause quite a lot of damage again. Just attack attack attack really, Ive got nothing to lose so Ill just go for mass destruction - ultimate style! :P

[mrdaves]

Woo

My armour is now a mixture of titanium and duck-tape holding the panels together, the chassis has started to crack up, and the suspensed cage the engine is in, has started to unbolt itself. But all this aside, with a lot more duck tape and more bolts it should hold together for the final.

My single tactic will be to Box-Rush it, again and again, till I get under, and when, open pit, push down pit.

So Attack Attack Attack, Box-Rush, Box-Rush, Box-Rush, no tapping out.
