Ladies and gentlemen, we have fights! Well, fight singular, as much as I believe tactics arent that necessary, it would be nice to have at least one set before I do SoR v. Sheer Heart Attack![]()
Anyway...

Storm II gets off to the quicker start, as it drives straight at Trax, which comes out to meet the charge. The two machines collide at some speed, front to front, and both robots remain still for a moment as they attempt to gain an advantage, wheels and tracks spinning...and Trax is winning here! The treads are giving it superior traction to push Storm away, slowly, but the lifter on Storm comes up, and catches on the weapon supports on Trax, raising it in the air and allowing Storm to get underneath, gaining control and slamming Trax into the arena wall! Trax bounces over the top of Storm, and back onto its tracks, as it turns to face Storm again. Storm backs away, then comes in again, ramming into Trax at the corner of the scoop, but riding up on the scoop as it does so! Shane sees his chance, and rotates Trax to get Storm onto the flipper, but not quite getting the body of its opponent square on the bar. However, Storm is high centred on the side of Trax, and the conglomerate of machines proceeds past the patrol zone towards the pit, Ed flicking at his controls in the Lexan booth to little effect. Trax coasts to a stop, and-
FLIP! Storm is rolled off to the side of the front hinged flipper, hitting the tape at the edge of the pit inverted, but reverses away before Trax can make the final push. Trax backs up to the wall near the patrol zone as Storm comes back on the attack, ramming into the side of Trax, avoiding the scoop, and knocking it sideways across into the corner. It immediately comes in for another push, Trax not finding room to maneuver along the edge of the pit, and is driven into the arena wall by its adversary. Trax reverses, though, moving across the edge of the void while keeping its scoop pointed at Storm, who charges in once more, getting its front onto the side of Traxs scoop...and pushing Traxs front edge over the pit! Shane immediately tries to reverse out of the way, but Storm is now driving into Trax in reverse, pushing it further back! Traxs tracks arent making enough contact with the arena to push Storm away, and within seconds Trax is tumbling backwards into oblivion, through the smoke and out!
Shane shakes his head, smiling to himself as he sets down his controls, as Ed and Paul high five each other across the platform, Stroms lifter raised in victory.
CEASE
After a thrilling battle, Storm II vanquishes Trax to progress into the heat final!
