[kodster]

Yes! Now, its time to reload!

Wedga Revo 2.0 beat both Slaying Mantis F and Mass Disctruction Ultimate to get here, but can he take out...

Orka MK4, who put down La Machine and Metal Sonic Spin Dash fairly quickly?

Roboteers, stand by...

Housies are Sir Killalot and Mr. Psycho.

Its Orka again, charging out towards Wedga, who has the same game plan and they collide with a bang. Wedga gets the wedge under Orkas scoop and uses his excellent speed to ram Orka full force against the angle grinder! Orka is span off and tips off of Andys wedge. AJ calculates exactly where Orka would land, and Wedga gets his own scoop under and sends him for a loop! Orka lands right side up and frantically drives away, Wedga on his tail. It seems like quite a one-sided fight right now. Orka narrowly avoids a flip from Wedga and turns around with his own scoop. Wedga continues his charge and again we hear a tremendous bang as they collide. This time its Orka who gets under Wedga and WHOOSH! Inverted bot! Wedga, though invertible, flips himself over anyway with his own scoop, but Orka is too fast and gets his scoop under Wedga and flips again. Wedga finds himself riding the side wall and just manages to keep himself right-side-up. Orka drives diagonally into Wedgas side and bounces off him, missing an axe blow intended with the arm. Wedga reverses, grinding his rear into the wall as he does so. Orka rams Wedga again, missing the side and getting the wedge instead, but gets under Wedga anyway and lifts him into the grinder. Now weve got Wedga balanced on his arse and Orka just whacking him with the arm, which is rather ineffective as an axe but scoring points for the judges anyway. Uh oh! House robots are coming! It seems that theyre very bored, and now are disobeying the Refbot and attacking Orka! Orka away, just barely there, and Wedga finally gets on his wheels, but is trapped by the housies! Orka makes his way to the pit release, and activates the pit, which descends over on Killalots left. Ooh, Orka nearly puts himself in, whatre you doing, Orka?! All of a sudden...oh dear, Killalot getting attacked from the side by Orka, now the back, and oh goodness gracious me, Wedga getting hailed on by hammer blows from Psycho...Killalot backs into Orka and Orka nearly falling into the pit again - OOH HAH HA HA HA HA HA!!! Oh dear me, Killalot threw himself in the pit! Trying to crush his enemy into the pit, perhaps, but he missed his mark! Now weve only got Mr. Psycho taking on Wedga, but Wedga seems to be immobilized! And no doubt from all that abuse, from that...hammer, from Psycho. Now its Orka, who is flipping Wedga and thats it! Its over! Wedga is gone, hes left the arena! Ooh, and now Psycho wants some revenge on Orka, who nearly escapes a hammer blow, ooh, I think Killalots in pain from landing in the pit, those red eyes gleam a little too brightly...

CEASE!

Wedga Revo 2.0 has revolutionized the word loser.
ORKA MK4 ADVANCES TO THE SERIES FINAL!!!

Heat D
Clawdius Decimus Murderous VS. Gigabyte Evilution
Starstorm 2 VS. Gravity
ArchAngel of the Abyss VS. Heart of Fire
Sewer Snake VS. Axe-O-Lotl

Predictions? Tactics? I think Killalot wants some Aspirin...

[pcbore]

First post in several months to say good fights, and StarStorm will just keep flipping Gravity around and hopefully OOTA. If memory serves, Starstorm was the one with lower-able skirts, so Gravity shouldnt get under

[steven_mcg]

Great job, Kody! Man, it feels weird posting here after all this time.

HEAT D
ROUND 1
CLAWDIUS DECIMUS MURDEROUS VS GigaByte Evilution

Basic outmanouvering tactics as usual. Keep to the sides and try to get a hold of those big meaty wheels. Either that or that slide under from the rear (hopefully, getting those wheels off the ground), grapple for dear life and dump in the nearest bottomless hole.

Good to see someone hasnt given up the ghost yet. :wink:

[kodster]

Sorry, everybody, I was away sick for the past few days (err, started Monday evening ), but Im back now, and ready to kick this off again!

Clawdius Decimus Murderous is a Scotbot with the heart of a dragon! It has a Firestorm blade and two prongs to help opponents get onto its wedge, where they will be greeted by a huge hydraulic crusher that will lay them in a world of hurt. It can also right itself. Oh, and it flies the Sctoland flag like the rest of the team.

Gigabyte Evilution comes to the C&BT with a roar. Being almost a complete TAN clone, it can crush its opponent with those huge pincers, and anybody, even MDU, will be hard to it to break him with his Hardox armour. However, the exposed wheels might spell doom for this mighty beast.

Roboteers, stand by...

Housies? Shunt and Growler. Mercy? Hell no.

CRUSH! Its Gigabyte who rams Clawdius from the front, but Clawdius drives forward into Gigabyte and now both competitors are trying to sink their sadistic teeth into each other! Its like their stuck together...like a boxing match. Well...it seems that Gigabyte isnt actually crunching into anything but air, and Clawdius appears unable to even scratch Gigabytes extremely tough armour. Ooh, thisll be very interesting...Clawdius finally comes to his senses and decides that, for this fight to end, hed better pit Gigabyte before Gigabyte actually does manage to crunch into him, or before the reverse happens. As Clawdius carries Gigabyte over to the pit release, Gigabyte seems to realize what is happening, because he suddenly opens the pincers and scuttles away! Clawdius doesnt bother chasing him down, and so opens the pit release anyway, the siren sounds, and you know what that means! :wink: Anyway Steven is applying his tactics now, trying to get Clawdius to outmanouver Gigabyte to get at the sides and rear, but AJ knows Steven too well to be fooled...or does he? Gigabyte backs away now, and sits right near the pit, and stops. Clawdius cant seem to get around those giant metal-carving chompers! AJ seems pleased at this fact, and his robot seems equally relaxed. If Gigabyte had a mouth, it wouldve been smiling at the frustration of Steven as he cant get to his goal. But wait! Clawdius seems to have given this up and rams Gigabyte head-on again! Right into Shunts CPZ! Shunt answers this with a thwack to Gigabytes rear, nearly missing a tire, and due to that the blow glances off. Growler comes flying out and rams Clawdius from the rear, but owing to the rear wedge, Growler is flung upwards a bit. Clawdius turns around, heaving Gigabyte away as he does so, and sweeps up the house doggy from the front. Gigabyte spin around and nicks Shunts scoop with one of his claws, aggravating Shunt even more. Shunt responds with another thwack, but Gigabytes armour withstands the blow. Then Shunt realizes that Gigabyte is in perfect line with the pit. Shunt bores forward at full speed, with every intention of burying that TAN clone in that deep grave, but Gigabyte merely turns as Shunt comes within reach of the claws, and Shunt spirals himself into the pit! One down, Growler and Clawdius to go. Speaking of Clawdius, he has already released Growler, who has actually scuttled off to his CPZ. Gigabyte and Clawdius turn simultaneously and face each other, hate and respect coursing through their every atom. Then they charge. However, Clawdius wins his third charge in a row as Gigabyte is thrown up onto the wedge. However, since the pit is nearly full, Clawdius decides to visit Growler again and dumps Gigabyte into Growlers CPZ. Growler opens his maw and clamps down on Gigabytes rear end. Uh, can you say no effect? Growler is stunned as his bite is only as good as his bark for Gigabyte, and lets go. He rams Gigabyte, who is thrown further up onto Clawdius wedge. Clawdius sinks the chomper down and finds a tasty wheel treat! Oh my goodness, it seems Clawdius perseverence paid off as the beak sinks deeper and deeper into Gigabytes tire and pokes a huge hole into it! Gigabyte cant escape and is rammed from behind again by Growler. Clawdius releases the tire, but it looks very damaged and I think that this fight is all but done as time winds down. Growler tries again with the jaws, but still no damage to the hardox end of Gigabyte. Clawdius repositions himself, trying to line up his claw with the other wheel of Gigabyte. Growler, with Gigabyte in his jaws, doesnt want Clawdius to have all the fun and so drags Gigabyte away to the angle grinder! Clawdius chases Growler and gets under him with the wedge, and slowly, but surely, the beak sinks down into Growlers shell. No effect! It seems that Growler is more resilient to chompbots than Matilda is...

10...9...8...7...

Growler releases Gigabyte, who slowly wheels off in a slightly circular pattern.

Clawdius releases Growler in turn, and rams Gigabyte with the rear wedge.

CLAWDIUS DECIMUS MURDEROUS ADVANCES TO ROUND 2!

Next battle: Starstorm 2 VS. Gravity

[kodster]

Im not stopping now!

Starstorm 2 certainly has all the makings of a star, but it looks more like a Roman helm, with its dome shape and top spike. It also has four lifting skirts to support its full body flipper, which raises the entire lid of the robot. Its exterior Hardox armour should help as well.

Gravity is a realie with a really big attitude, really big recognition, and a really big flipper. Enough said.

Roboteers, stand by...

The house robots today are Sgt. Bash and Dead Metal.

Lets get it ON! And first out we have Gravity, who wants nothing better than to shove that huge flipper under Starstorm and launch him into orbit. Starstorm considers Gravity for a second, then moves out towards him to sweep him out. They collide...and Starstorm easily slides under Gravity and POP! the lid of Starstorm pops up to upend Gravity. However, instead of merely overturning Gravity, it launches him straight up into the air! Gravity doesnt like this one bit, but it suddenly gets worse as he lands near Starstorm, upside-down. Before the huge flipper acts, Starstorm slides under and pops Gravity into the air again! Worse, Gravity fired the flipper just after he left the ground, and he lands on his top, with his flipper left open, and he slowly tilts onto it. Frank is bemused by this but drives Starstorm into Gravity as Gravity rocks forward with the flipper closed. Gravity is tossed again and very nearly lands himself out of the arena, but bounces off the railing and behind Starstorm, right side up. This doesnt phase Frank one bit as Starstorm has skirts all around, but Gravity charges anyway, and again finds himself thrown straight up as the shell of Starstorm pops again! Gravity lands inverted but rights himself in a spectacular fashion, performing a 540 vertical, right on top of Starstorm, who answers this with another pop of the lid! Poor Gravity is now popped with the spike now as he goes sailing, and lands with a rather noisy CRASH onto the arena floor on his wheels. Starstorm charges again, wanting to end this now, but Gravity eludes him and decides that he doesnt want to take another trip. He hammers the pit release, and opens the pit. Frank laughs at the pathetic last resort that Gravity has to take to win this fight, and Starstorm charges yet again. Gravity evades the charge and dances around the pit, possibly trying to trick Starstorm into making a mistake. Dead Metal can no longer wait for a victim to come into his CPZ, and Sgt. Bash shares the his feelings as both house robots blaze a path (well, Sgt. Bash anyway ) towards Gravity and Starstorm. Frank laughs again as Starstorm fixes his concentration on Dead Metal instead, tossing the house bot into the air, and Dead Metal lands dead on his back. Before Sgt. Bash can react to this surprising development, Starstorm is now in HIS face, and one pop of the shell signifies that Bash is also upended and dead. However, Gravity saw his opportunity and charged right at Starstorm. Frank is too late to lower his robots skirts as the wedge of Gravity slides under his creation and tosses it for a loop! Starstorm soars through the air and lands on his head, and narrowly avoids another charge from Gravity as he self-rights. Gravity looks worried now that he might not get another flip in, but hes got bigger things to worry about now that Starstorm is closing in on him! And indeed Gravity is too late to get away as Starstorm once again pops up the shell and Gravity rises up, and falls back to earth, and lands inverted. And it seems that all that flipping has taken its toll on Gravity, because his own flipper isnt responding! Yes, Starstorm believes that his work is done and so starts a victory spin of death as the Refbot slides over and counts out Gravity.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!
Well, Gravity is out, and Starstorm is through to the next round, but there are no house robots to dispose of Gravity. Ah, yes, so I guess Starstorm will do it for them, and down goes Gravity, down, down, DOWN! Into the pit, and immediately filling up the arena with smoke, ah, that was good fun...Starstorm, a force to be reckoned with.

CEASE!

Gravity defies himself a victory.
