Robot SMASH!!

The present era one does, so it can be protected against robots like Nightmare and Mechavore, should he face them very soon.

...Vlad The Impaler II?

[corsair_lightning]

Yes.

Its common knowledge that they built a new Vlad after series 4.0 of Battlebots, because the old one was becoming obsolete. The new one is basically the old one with a new plate weapon, shockproofing, a silver paint job, and LOCTITE written on top. Ive seen it before.

It just says Vald The Impaler, not Vlad The Impaler II. Sorry Mark.

...and Vlad II didnt have lifting forks, it had some sort of plate at the front that apparently lifted up and down...Spitfire (which if I remember correctly was Dantomkia in drag) beat it in Battlebots 5.

[corsair_lightning]

Well, regardless, the original one had some shockproofing, and strong armour, but it was later defeated badly in Series 4.0, so they built a new one.

Also, all we need to do is wait fo Frank to tell us his middleweight and featherweight, and we can start this tourney.

Liam, for the introduction of our robots, maybe you should use an introduction similar to the one Joey McConnell uses in the Chevron Championship.

[joey_picus]

I only used that intro because of the format of the tournament - in series 1/2 (which TCC is based on) they had all the robots do a stars in their eyes style entrance before any action actually happened, and I happened to rather like this bit so I did it. It wouldnt really work for somethng like this because it makes more sense to introduce them before each fight...besides, its Liams tournament and its up to him how he does it.

On a relevant note, Id just start without Frank unless you had a featherweight match that needed him in the middle of the first heat or something.
