After a long, long, looong pause, heres the second annihilator at last. I need to get inspired.

FROM NORTHAMPTONSHIRE; EWE 2
Previously entering with a robot called Lambsy, which has had limited success, Ewe 2 is a total ram in the pen. Its a rather compact robot, agile as well, it can push and has a nasty flipper just right for flipping robots over. It has a weakness though, in that there is no armour underneath it.

FROM NORTHAMPTONSHIRE; KAN OPENER
This robot has arguably the wierdest win-lose battle history of any robot. It has competed in three UK wars and lost all of them in the first round, yet it has also competed in two annihilators and won them both! Rather suspicious if you ask me. Kan Opener is another low-slung robot, bright yellow, invertible and boosting a pair of crushing jaws that have interchangable tips and more bite than a Great White. The ground clearance is low, which is good, but the armour I think could be thicker.

FROM CARDIFF: PANIC ATTACK
The winners of the second series of the wars, some would say Panic Attack is becoming old. Those more in the know would say it is still as persistant as ever. A low yellow box, Panic Attack is covered in real tough armour, difficult to puncture, skirts all around make it difficult to flip, and a set of powerful lifting spikes make it difficult to approach. All in all, a tough cookie, except that it has no srimech, and can be toppled.

FROM EAST TILBURY IN ESSEX; SPAWN AGAIN
No robot is faster than Spawn Again, even if they wanted to. This high wedge shape robot doesnt take any competitors lying down, it has a massive flipper that not only flips long, but high. In fact, it could probably go down as one of the largest flippers in the competition. It has a high success rate as well, being a semi finalist on four occasions. However, Spawn Again is well known for its reliability problems, so it may not be long until it dies...again.

FROM COLCHESTER IN ESSEX; THE STEEL AVENGER
A gleaming steel avenger is always a worry. This machine is well engineered and has always done decently well over the years. Covered in steel and polycarbonate, it boosts two weapons: A nasty and large axe and a rear flipper for surprise attacks. It has a srimech, but this can easily be damaged and has let it down in the past.

FROM EDINBURGH IN SCOTLAND; TYPHOON 2
THE ultimate robot, this machine won the 7th wars. Two lighter versions of this also won the middleweight (3 times) and lightweight championship, so success is nothing new for this machine. This robot could easily be described as a lampshade...except this lampshade has cutting teeth anc can spin at gyroscopic speeds. The robot itself is essentially top-secret military information, which oppodents fear more. Get a quick flip in though, and it could be over, the lampshade has no srimech!

ROBOTEERS, STAND BY!

Booth 1: Ewe 2, Panic Attack, Steel Avenger.
Booth 2: Kan Opener, Spawn Again, Typhoon 2.
House Robots: Sir Killalot, Matilda.

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

And off goes the second annihilator, and what a way to start it, with the twice Annihilator champion Kan Opener, coming down to have a go at Steel Avenger, who hits the champion, but gets pinched for its troubles. Spawn Again is chasing after Typhoon 2, who is running away. It isnt spinning up to full speed as of yet. Panic Attack and Ewe 2 clash, and its Panic Attack getting underneath Ewe 2 first. Kan Opener slams Steel Avenger onto Panic Attack, who gets hit by the Avengers axe, and Ewe 2 escapes. Spawn Again is still chasing after Typhoon 2, who IS now spinning at its gyroscopic speed. Spawn Again, Id back away quickly...OH NO!! Typhoon hit Spawn Again with a full on frontal slam, and the flipper blade of Spawn Again has broken off completely! Spawn Again, to put it simply, are now weaponless. Spawn Again retreats. Kan Opener, meanwhile, has discarded Steel Avenger and is trying to attack Ewe 2. Ewe 2 fires its flipper and flips Kan Opener over, but of course, Kan Opener is invertible. Panic Attack comes in on the annihilator champion...OH, WHAT WAS THAT!? THAT WAS TYPHOON 2!! SLAMMING INTO THE BACK OF PANIC ATTACK, AND TEARING THE REAR SKIRT CLEAN OFF!! Now THAT could be a problem!! When Typhoon reaches that speed, problems will occur. Steel Avenger rushes off, but Ewe 2 doesnt...OH, SHARDS OF METAL GO FLYING!! Panels have come flying off Ewe 2 there. That could cause some problems for later. Meanwhile, Steel Avenger is hitting Panic Attack with its axe...wheres Spawn Again in all of this? THERE is your answer, slammed into the pit release by Kan Opener. Spawn Again moves away, but it isnt moving freely at all. Typhoon comes in with ANOTHER hit, and knocks Spawn Again senseless!! Ewe 2 also comes in, but travels right into the claws of Kan Opener, which close. Ewe 2 is dragged towards the pit...BUT TYPHOON GETS ANOTHER HIT IN!! MORE SHARDS FLY OFF!! Some from Ewe 2, some from Kan Opener. Kan Openers claws open and try to get away. Forget about Ewe 2 for now. It NEEDS to get away from Typhoon 2, THATS the worry. Meanwhile, this leaves Ewe 2 and Spawn Again both on the edge of the pi and both apparantly immobile! That bashing from the Series 7 champion has obviously done something serious. Neither are moving. Who was immobilised first? Refbot is coming in to count them out, but who is he counting? Im not sure. 4...5...6...7...OH, SPAWN AGAIN SUDDENLY SPRINGS INTO LIFE!! In reverse, it slams Ewe 2 into the pit and follows through! That last spasm of energy has barely saved it.

CEASE

Ewe 2 has been shawn and annihilated.

NEXT TIME
Kan Opener vs Panic Attack vs Spawn Again vs Steel Avenger vs Typhoon 2.

Provided, of course, that Spawn Again are fit to fight.
