    This match takes us back to the days of Velociraptor€™s Fanfic Tournament - Series 1, where SOR and SD fought for gold in the series€™ final. SOR won all those years ago, and Steve is out to seek his revenge! Metal Sonic Spin Dash drives forward 18 mph and tries to attack SOR. SOR though steers better than its six-wheel driven nemesis and the blade now is at the sawbot€™s side! There is nothing Steve can do to avoid the weapon now!
    CLANG!
    SOR€™s small but vicious weapon unleashes its energy on Steve€™s left skirt! Steve drives backwards but Andy can keep up and the bar strikes again! Its speed decreased a but after the first hit , but Steve still ain€™t pleased being hit two times in a row! MSSD steadily reaches its 18 mph top speed again and is save now, the bar joint looking awfully€¦ bad. SOR brings in its flipper now and MSSD goes out to meet him. The Son of Ripper has lined up its flipper but SD is coming at him as a raging bull! A small flick of Steve€™s controller moves MSSD underneath SOR€™s front-left corner! SPARKS! Saw-weapons often bring a spectacular sight but how effective are they against SOR€™s Hardox armour? More dangerous than the saw however is MSSD€™s position underneath SOR! Steve takes Andy€™s notorious flipper for a ride that ends at the very boundary of my arena, against the wall!
    CLANG!
    The impact levers SOR over MSSD and a meter or so behind it! Our hedgehog turns around immediately and drives to the right flank of SOR, who can€™t help being hit from the side by MSSD€™s wedge! MSSD€™s spatula works wonders now and the wedge is penetrated, and the saw is positioned against it! The sparks and buzzing sound prove the saw is doing its job, but a lifted skirt does not render SOR immobile by far! Away he drives, and MSSD€™s left side where he the skirt was damaged not too long ago. SOR has no problem getting under that very skirt, MSSD tries to resist with all its six wheels, but SOR fires its flipper!
    FA-LIP!
    Everyone€™s favourite sawbot is inverted. Steve invested in a good srimech though when he redesigned Spin Dash and before he, or Andy, knows it the machine is back on its wheels! Andy turns around to give SD another smack with the blade. A small clang is heard but the blade hits MSSD€™s front-right corner rather than the Hardox, so the damage is almost non-existent. In fact Steve responses by putting his rambot in forward gear, only steering a small bit to get underneath SOR€™s rear with the blade spinning safely above its head! Some more steering brings the duo in a perfect line to the pit, something Steve now abuses with all his might! SOR fires its flipper hoping to get off, but it€™s no use!!! Spin Dash has its revenge!

    Woohoo! MSSD does well for a change! Bravo and commiserations to Marti and AJ!

    ROUND 1
    Jack Kennedy VS KILLOTINE: EVO VS Take Me Out

    Im really not sure who to go for here. If Jack Kennedy comes my way, Ill try slipping under the corners of the skirts and sticking my axe into the titanium. If Im very lucky, Ill get the axe blade caught in a wheel house and have a slightly easier time dragging it over to the pit.
    If Take Me Out has a pop at me, Ill head for the sides again (No skirts this time, though. Goody!), get a good grip on it with the axe and power it into the pit before it can flip itself free.

    Bah, I think I only got one prediction right during this entire heat. Still, brilliant destruction, Martijn!

    Paul - Going back in the thread...yes, thats the 215kJ MeCannibal, as you tried to put in a newer version but people voted against it.

    Achilles (7) vs MeCannibal vs Seung Mina II

    OMG ACHILLES!!! *dies* ...joking. Seung Minas previous generation...lets see. Two powerful flippers and a suicidal ring spinner? Would be wise for me and Achilles to gang up on it. *SHOCKHORROR* Shouldnt be hard at all.

    Jack Kennedy vs Killotine: EVO vs Take Me Out

    Jack Kennedy to get hacked to death by Killy.

    Oooh arent I the popular one...

    Hmm... as for tactics, im inclined to agree with Kody.... leavign a powerful wildcard ring spinner in the game is too much of a gamble. Pnuematics is the best option, try and only attack when its not up to speed though, and preferably let Kody be the one that makes it that way

  7. #287
    In that case, Seung Mina II will box rush MeCannibal and watch it explode on contact. If that doesnt do it, let Achilles have his fun and join in occasionally.

    Round 1
    Fight 1

    Achilles (7) vs MeCannibal vs Seung Mina II

    Achilles (7): Perhaps Alex H€™s most consistent machine. The 2 ETEK€™s and powerful flipper (interchangeable with a hydraulic clamper, mind you) make a feared opponent in anyone€™s book!
    In MN1: Has beaten Cacodemon, 13Black and Orka MK4, but lost to Wedge Devolution in the semies.

    MeCannibal: One of Paul€™s earlier machines. The concept has what it takes to become a dangerous ring-spinner, but could it be too dangerous for its own good?
    In MN1: Did not compete.

    Seung Mina II: This is where Kody enters the tournament. Seung Mina is a long wedge-flipper which knows how to perform an OOTA!
    In MN1: Did not compete.

    ACTIVATE!

    Seung Mina is the vapour most eager to leave its starting square, MeCannibal and Achilles seemingly waiting for the right moment to strike. While MeCannibal is slowly spinning up its heavy ring, Kody makes it his business to wedge rush that weapon ASAP. The shufflers underneath MeCannibal don€™t give it the grip to dodge this attack, courtesy of the full-bodied skirt, and the full body spinner gets wedged! Seung Mina does not quite get underneath that skirt, but pretty much manages to push the Cannibal regardless. The ring has to little effect at its current speed, and Seung Mina takes it all the way towards the wall!
    CLANG!
    MeCannibal leaves the collision through the side door and embraces its second chance to spin up its weapon. Achilles slowly attempts to join the battle, but Seung Mina is still eager as hell and attacks MeCannibal again. The ring spinner is spinning faster and faster, and Paul€™s brave enough to face Mina this time. The two collide, head on!
    CRASH!
    Ouch, the power of MeCannibal€™s weapon can€™t be denied anymore. Seung Mina makes a 360 across the ground, but MeCannibal itself is far from unharmed either! The Hardox wedge hitting those powerful teeth leaves MeCannibal in a harmonious dance that€™d make Mauler jealous for sure. Seung Mina is slowly recovering from the hit, but Achilles is quicker on its feet€¦ errrm€¦ wheels, this time around. As if he planned this all along, Alex drives Achilles towards the totally out of control MeCannibal, and the duo hits the arena wall!
    CLANG!
    Kody decides not to intervene, knowing the reputation of Achilles€™ flipper. Alex activates his flipper, and proves Kody right!

    CEASE

    MeCannibal has hit the camera tracks
    Achilles (7) and Seung Mina II go through to round 2!






    Heat D
    Round 1
    Fight 2

    Jack Kennedy vs Killotine: EVO vs Take me out

    Jack Kennedy: Or €œI knew Jack Kennedy and you sir are no Jack Kennedy€. Basically the only interchangeable vapour in Tony€™s squad. This invertible box has either a pair of horizontal or a pair of vertical discs to choose from, posh!
    Jack Kennedy will use the vertical discs today.
    In MN1: Did not compete.

    Killotine: EVO: Steeeeeeeeve€™s axebot! Killotine is the famous axebot that combines the drive of Storm with the weapon or Killerhurtz. Clam and pit is its motto .
    In MN1: Has beaten Rammy mk 3 in round 1 with some help of the series€™ most successful realie, 13Black, to be beaten by Orka MK4 in round 2.

    Take me out: Your basic all-powerful wedge-flipper, this time presented to you by Martyn. That pretty much sums up this proven concept .
    In MN1: Did not compete.

    Tony has his eyes aimed for those juicy aluminium panels on Take me out, whereas Martyn€™s eyes are set on that lovely non-invertible body of Killotine. Killotine gets in line to defend itself from Take me out, but Jack Kennedy€™s speed advantage makes sure the flipper doesn€™t even reach Killotine in the first place!
    CRUNCH!
    The small discs may lack serious power, their spin-up time is nothing short of formidable and their shape can really hurt Take me out€™s aluminium! One of the discs effectively hits Take me out and made a tiny slice in the armour, and due to the discs being powered by separate motors, the other one did not stall at all! Take me out retreats just before receiving another disc blow. Jack Kennedy gives chase, but Take me out outsmarts the former US president and penetrates it€™s front, just out of reach of the discs, and activates its flipper! Take me out takes Jack Kennedy up into the air to land on the other side of that invertible body. With Jack Kennedy out of the way for now and Killotine in close proximity, Martyn wants to engage the axebot in battle. Steve moves his finger to a big red button on his controller that reads €œaxe€ when Take me out carefully moves in diagonally towards Killotine. The axebot turns, the axe falls down€¦ and misses! Take me out wedges Killotine, who tries to drive off, but Martyn fires his flipper! When Killotine flies through the air we see how Jack Kennedy has completely recovered from Take me out€™s attack. Fuelled by the earlier success of the discs, and scared by Killotine€™s Hardox, Tony again attacks Take me out!
    CLANG!
    Killotine selfrights, while Take me out topples on the impact of Jack Kennedy€™s vertical disc weapons. Steve sees Jack Kennedy being under attack and decides to join Kennedy€™s attack, if only to get revenge after that nasty flip. Killotine wedges Take me out from the side and strikes with the axe!
    CLANG!
    The axe-head hits the flipper but couldn€™t quite pierce it. Take me out attempts to get away from its wedged position, but Steve pulls back the axe to give it another try.
    CLANG!
    This time the axe pierces the flipper, totally. Take me out is stuck and Killotine turns around, to the pit! Take me out fires its flipper, but Killotine manages to hold on. Getting closer to the pit€¦ Take me out fires again. It€™s free! But wait€¦ Jack Kennedy€™s coming in! Take me out can€™t respond in time, when those bloody discs give it the final nudge!

    CEASE

    Take me out meets the bottom of the pit
    Jack Kennedy and Killotine: EVO go through to round 2

    Coming next:
    Achilles (7) vs Jack Kennedy

    Killotine: EVO vs Seung Mina II
