The Fowler Fic War Series 5

[craig_anto]

isnt it a RW series 1/2 format? not open combat all the way throu? if its now combat i know where im going tacticlly

[craig_anto]

jus so that your aware, ive twicked the shape of CRAPBAG stats are the same, maybe a slightly shorter ram and wider wheels and the aditional add ons of Tanto/BonX style hooks to stop cowards running over the top of the robot,
I know its a little late to change the robot but the stats are the same it jus looks slightly different

[paulc]

Craig, Matt might have changed his mind, doing combat all the way is easier to write.

You might as well post your predictions, until Matty reposts with Round One of Heat A. Unless you post tactics, you wont do as well as you should.

[kodster]

Oh wow...predictions and tactics!

Heat 1
Shovearound 2 (1) v Tempest Evil-Est Oution v Axeon 2.0

Shovearound is through here, no doubt about that...Tempest I think will join him.

Black Panther (17) v Orka v Seung Mina II

Oh nooo...XD. Both of my opponents are very hard to get under, so Ill have problems. If one wants to team up with me to take out the other, thats always fine.

Heat winner: Shovearound

Heat 2
Achilles (3) v Knock-out v CRAPBAG

Achilles to flip either two out, which one though Im not sure. CRAPBAG to not live up to its name and join Achilles.

GeForce (19) v MegaByte v Liar

MegaByte out. Really, one flip and its over.

Heat winner: Achilles or GeForce

Heat 3
Whirligig 5.0 (5) v Senkaganzen v Battle Raptor

Senkaganzen to be overpowered by Whirligig and destroyed.

Salamander 3 (21) v Dead Horse Beater v YACATR

Oh damn, Salamanders up against it here...yet I think YACATR will bite the dust first.

Heat winner: Whirligig

Heat 4
Axe to Fall (7) v Mega Masher v Dysfunction 2.0

Looking for a team-up with Martijn. Shove Chris around and get him onto his back. Avoid that blade.

Slammer V (23) v MeCannibal v Kan Opener

Kan Opener out.

Heat winner: Axe to Fall or Slammer

Heat 5
Wedginator 5.0 (9) v PUMP v A Night At The Bar

Another team-up with Martijn would be nice. Get that PUMP machine into the pit or OOTA if I can.

SoR (25) v All Apologies v Drilla Killa

No apology is going to save All Apologies.

Heat winner: Me or A Night at the Bar.

Heat 6
Leprosy Infection (11) v Killotine Evo v Door Stops

Baaaaad fight for Franks new clusterbot.

Back to Rock 2 (27) v Psyclonised v The Grand Disillusion

I dont care if I get teamed up on or not. Go straight for Psyclonized. Eventually after enough charging I will get under, and smash up his wheels with my lovely disc. Care for another team-up though, Martijn?

Heat winner: Killotine Evo or Psyclonised if my plan fails.

Heat 7
Forcepower 5.0 (13) v Downforce v Slaying Mantis

Down-Force out.

Epidemic (29) v 8645T v Warrior SKF

No team-up required, unless Aaron wishes to. Destroy 8645T within seconds.

Heat winner: Warrior or ForcePower

Heat 8
Gravity (15) v SUNCUST v Megalodon Maneater

SUNCUST out...of the arena.

Archangel of the Abyss (31) v Chameleon v NSBFR-X

You forgot to switch Franks bots, Matty. :wink: Anyway ArchANgel could be in for some trouble if the other two decide to team up on him with static scoops or summat like that...dunno.

Heat winner: I think Gravity could get by here.

Heat 9
Agro 3.5 (16) v Translator v Y4

Y4 out.

Mute (32) v Shadow Zone v Nitro-Gene

Fancing a team-up with Paul here. Ram the hell out of Mute and let Nitro-Gene keep flipping it. When his flipper power runs out, Ill use mine.

Heat winner: Me or Nitro-Gene

Heat 10
Razer (14) v Scaramanga v La Machine

La Machine is toast.

The May Tracks Has You (30) v Wheel of Misfortune v Sheer Heart Attack

I dont think I like May Tracks chances...

Heat winner: Scaramanga or Sheer Heart Attack

Heat 11
Wedge Devolution (12) v Cyberdemon v SYNDOS

If Cyberdemons flipped its all over for them. And seeing how often Wedge gets under opponents...

Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus (2 v Acronyms v Axe-O-Lotl

Axe-O-Lotl out.

Heat winner: Wedge Devo or Die-Ceratops

Heat 12
IDSFA (10) v Intrigue v Blendo

...Blendo? How lame. Just hammer the hell out of it! Hopefully IDSFA will beat up on him too.

Tornado (26) v [Aaron vapour] v Firestorm

Dunno.

Heat winner: Cant say...

Heat 13
Storm 2 ( v Terror Gear 3 v Behemoth

Terror Gear is up against two good realies here. Afraid its going to go out.

Tough As Nails (24) v Crash Bandi-bot v Cortez 1.1

Mwahahaha...team-up with Paul for this one and let TAN shove Crash against the wall. Then Ill come in and hell be crushed both ways. IF Crash decides to go after me, let the front take a hit and push him around.

Heat winner: Storm II. I dont think any bot in this heat can beat it, not even me.

Heat 14
Flick of the Wrist (6) v A.R.R.T.D.S v The Master

Master aint the master here.

Clawdius Decimus Murderous (22) v [Aaron realie] v Shotgun Slapper

Heat winner: Probably CDM.

Heat 15
Wedga€™s Revenge (4) v Tenderizer€™s Revenge v Spring-BOK

Bye Spring-BOK.

Metal Sonic Spin dash (20) v Turbulence v [Aaron realie]

Dunno.

Heat winner: Wedga or MSSD

Heat 16
The Disc 5 (2) v [Aaron realie] v Griffon

The Disc is going through no matter what happens.

Tengu (1 v Mr. Slave 2 v Big Nipper

Same with Tengu.

Heat winner: The Disc or Tengu.

[kodster]

Bah, Im not going to correct myself until the actual fights come then.

[matty_haka]

Oh and its a straight combat craig

[andrewj]

Oooh lots of progress!

Heat 1

Shovearound 2 (1) v Tempest Evil-Est Oution v Axeon 2.0

Very good but a very difficult opening match! Shovearound€™s weaponry and pushing power will be largely ineffective against my wedges, skirts and suction system. But at the same time, that thing has some seriously thick armour that I€™m unlikely to crack. Tempest will also find it hard to get a reasonable blow in on my slopes and Hardox but again, my chances of getting a hit in on that thing are low. I suggest maybe me and Tony team up to box rush Tempest and keep the ring at low speeds and try and get rid of it that way. This would be a good idea because Tempest would be more of a threat to the champion than I will be later on in the competition (hint hint!) :wink:

Black Panther (17) v Orka v Seung Mina II

Well Black Panther Queen should be through, out of the others I€™d probably just go for Orka.

Heat Winner Predictions:

Heat 1: Shovearound 2
Heat 2: Achilles
Heat 3: Salamander 3
Heat 4: Slammer V
Heat 5: Wedginator or maybe SOR
Heat 6: Hopefully Psyclonised but maybe Back 2 Rock
Heat 7: Warrior SKF
Heat 8: ArchAngel of the Abyss
Heat 9: Shadow Zone
Heat 10: Wheel of Misfortune :P
Heat 11: Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus
Heat 12: IDSFA
Heat 13: Terror Gear 3
Heat 14: Flick of the Wrist
Heat 15: Hopefully this is my heat but otherwise MSSD
Heat 16: Great heat! The Disc 5 vs. Resonance could be interesting€¦

Good luck everyone this looks like a good one!

[majinb]

Nice Matty, very nice

Guess Ill do some predicting, I refuse to predict my own heats though

Heat 1
Shovearound 2 most likely

Heat 3
Whirligig 5.0 most likely

Heat 7
Forcepower 5.0 and Epidemic stand a fair chance

Heat 9
Shadow Zone or Nitro-Gene

Heat 11
Wedge Devolution and Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus for a flippin good Heat Final

Heat 13
Storm 2 ftw

Heat 15
Wedgas Revenge has the best papers

Heat 16
The Disc and Tengu to make for a great Heat Final

[paulc]

Go on Martijn, predict your own heats (just not your fights, you can sned tactics for those). And send some tactics!

Look at my post on tactics/predictions, Flick Of The Wrists heat.
