Dan OHagan: Axeon is crushed by E Clawdius Unum, and next up is Aftershock vs. Gabriel v1.25! Lets get it on!

(BATTLE 2!!!)

From Toronto, Ontario, Aftershock!
It literally shocked us all in Heat B, after taking out the famed flipper, Wedgas Revenge!

Laura: Now, I hear you and Michelle got along so well while I was gone!
Kody: Yeah, I did.
Laura: Haha, I envy you. Anyway, you are up against... Gabriel!
Kody: Well, I know its got 7mm Titanium and some hardox, but the baseplate is aluminium, so Ill try and knock it over, and chew away on the base. Try to get at the tyres if I want to. :wink:
Laura: All right then, good luck. Oh yeah, and Michelle asked me to give this to you.
Kody: Oh, whats this? (Reading: Kody, you were great at cracking me up with your jokes. I think Ill most likely come back again to hear more! Youre awesome! -Signed, Michelle Tomczak) Hahahahaha!

Oh, for heavens sakes... A nice drum shaped robot with a 3500RPM spinning drum, and two spinning hubs that go around at 6000RPM! It also has a nice and sturdy 9mm Titanium armour, as well. However, its wheels are pretty much the Achilles Heel here.
In Heat B: Obliterated Panzer Mk 4, Drummed out Supreme Glory Gamma, before banging on Wedgas Revenge and eventually knocking it down the pit.

From Pontefract in Yorkshire, Gabriel!
The angel of death is back again to kill some bots!

Laura: Well Joey, its good to see you again!
Joey: Thanks a lot.
Laura: So, what have you got for us this time?
Joey: The same old flipper, and titanium armour with some hardox over that. Not much changed.
Laura: That looks great! What do you think of your opponent?
Joey: Well, Kody IS a very good roboteer, and its going to be difficult, but Ill keep my front facing him at all times, and either push into the pit, or flip it over the wall.
Laura: All right then, good luck.
Joey: Thank you.

A large elongated tetrahedron shape, with a front flipper, two spikes at the sides, and capable of throwing opponents into submission. However, its a bit shabby in the armour department, with an aluminium baseplate... :sad:
Heat H: Threw Gemini and Panic Attack out of the arena, and then pitted Exertion in the heat final.

Roboteers, Stand By...

As usual, Kody Kunz is in Booth 1, driving Aftershock, and Gabriel v1.25 is also in the arena, with Joey McConnell, the driver, in Booth 2.

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

Aftershock immediately spins up here, and you can hear the revving of the drum motor! Gabriel, meanwhile, is trying to find a weak spot, but now, Aftershock immediately crashes into Gabriels side!
CRASH!!
WHOA! Sparks are flying, as Aftershocks drum flips over Gabriel! There is a big dent on the side of Gabriel, and the paintwork is scratched! Gabriel self-rights at once, and charges at Aftershock, and... temporarily stopping the drum somehow! Now, it carries the drum over to the side wall, but because of Aftershocks odd shape, it is hard to flip over! Now, Gabriel goes into spin mode, and Aftershock begins to spin up again, and smashes into the Pontefract machine!
CRASH!!!!
... and more sparks are flying! Now, Aftershock spins up again, and you cannot even see the blades! Now, both robots go on a collision course again...
CRASH!!!
More sparks are flying, and now, Aftershock barges in with the drum right into the rear end!
CRASH!!!
The impact flips Gabriel over, and it lands on its back! Now, Aftershock spins up yet again, and Gabriel tries to self right. Bad idea. Gabriel self-rights, and gets one... oh no, not in the base!!!
CRASH!!!!
WOAH!!! More sparks are flying, and Gabriel is being relentlessly attacked, here! The close-up camera shows that a wheel is punctured! Gabriel self rights, but that initial attack leaves Gabriel handicapped, and its starting to limp across the arena! Aftershock goes in for another one in the side!
CRASH!!
Just like in the early scenes of the match, the attack flips Gabriel over. Very outstanding job there, by Aftershock. Gabriel self-rights again, and decides to limp over to Aftershock, and now, Gabriel starts to spin!
WHACK!
OH! The side spikes hit the drum of Aftershock, and sparks are flying again! Gabriel tries to catch up to the Canadian drummer, and it eventually does, and tries to flip it over, but the drum-shaped robot is hard to get a hold of! Aftershock fights back with some of its own weapon!
CRASH!!
WOAH!!! What a collision; that hit knocks Gabriel over onto its back, but it self-rights again! Now... Gabriel is continuously moving around in circles... and Aftershock is positioning itself, and it whacks Gabriel again in the rear end!
CRASH!
... and the drum flips over the flipper from Pontefract upon contact! It tries to self-right, but Aftershock waits, and just when you thought Gabriel was safe...
SMASH!!
The other wheel has been shredded, and now, its safe to say that Aftershock has won this. Gabriel has been righted, but it cant go anywhere at all... Aftershock opens the pit button... and finally, it spins up again, and Joey tells Kody to stop, but would he listen? NOO.
CRASH!!!
... and thats it. Gabriel somersaults straight into the pit of oblivion. Well done to both teams!

CEASE!

Mr. Lucifer will not be pleased with Gabriel tonight.
Aftershock goes through to the Quarter Finals!
