Autoism won?...it did:

+2>WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!

Well done Steven and Joey for putting up a fight, well done to Lewis for writing a great battle, and good luck to everyone in the next fight :wink:

PS: Dont feel bad about predicting wrong Kody - I didnt predict myself a win, and Im the git who MADE Autoism (when I say made, I mean came up with, and its an intangible robot

) so dont feel too bad.

Sorry about the long wait

Eliminator 2
Mega Masher 2 vs The Zodiac vs Hot Sauce vs Binary Hell

Representing Team Dino Warriors, Mega Masher 2!
This triangular shaped robot has dangerous wedge/box-rush capabilities similar to Minion, and also like the aforementioned Battlebots Superheavyweight Champion it has a vertical spinning flywheel at the rear. This one is powered by a good old lynch motor, but is small enough for the robot to run inverted so donâ‚¬â„¢t expect any classic attacks.

Representing Team Zlayerz, The Zodiac!
This full body spinner didnâ‚¬â„¢t do too well last time around, with the 6mm ground clearance proving a major weak point against Spin Dash Unleashed. It is unchanged, and still has the four magmotors to spin the shell and another two to work the drive. It has a trusty pneumatic srimech and nastily shaped teeth, but could that all round ground clearance be its undoing a second time?

Representing Team Wet â‚¬Ëœnâ‚¬â„¢ Wild, Hot Sauce!
Clearly inspired by Firestorm, this hardox beastie has powerful lynch motors to get around the arena and a neat front hinged flipper to throw opponents around and even right out if it gets the opportunity. The paintjob is nice, but that wonâ‚¬â„¢t save it if the design proves to be too old-fashioned and is beaten by the newer, more innovative creations.

Representing Team Manglo-Saxons, Binary Hell!
This six wheeled Killdozer-shaped robot from hell packs a hellish 4-bar lifting or flipping arm to launch the opponent over the fence. The skirts may help against other flippers and it can run inverted, but will the thin armour be exploited by the more powerful vertical crushers, and Team Manglo-Saxons didnâ‚¬â„¢t do too well last time around when Haldux 2.0 was knocked out of the first round against Leprosy Infection.

Roboteers, standby!

Booth 1: Christopher Mason, Ben Read
Booth 2: Kody Kunz, No Wai

ACTIVATE!

The Zodiac is the most eye-catching robot in this melee as the shell quickly becomes a blur, the sharp teeth looking especially menacing when they are barely visible. Hot Sauce and Mega Masher 2 are also off the mark though and the two wedges collide in the centre of the arena, neither robot getting underneath the other but Hot Sauceâ‚¬â„¢s more powerful drive allowing it to push Team Dino Warriors entry across the arena and into the spike strip! Mega Masherâ‚¬â„¢s disc is jammed up against the strip and so canâ‚¬â„¢t begin to rotate properly unlike the shell of The Zodiac, which is already up to that dangerous top speed and moves in on the attack just as Hot Sauce reverses to safety!

A large section of Mega Masher 2â‚¬â„¢s armour is ripped clean off and flies off across the arena, bouncing along the arena floor and coming to rest on the closed pit. Binary Hell hasnâ‚¬â„¢t done much yet, but now it is attacked by Hot Sauce and Ben is galvanised into action! Hot Sauceâ‚¬â„¢s wedge shape meets Binary Hellâ‚¬â„¢s 4-var flipping arm at the front and the two push away at each other, with Binary Hellâ‚¬â„¢s six wheel drive working hard and this time triumphing and Ben gets underneath Hot Sauceâ‚¬â„¢s wedge, now ramming No Waiâ‚¬â„¢s machine across the arena and firing the flipper to send it flying over and over and stacking Hot Sauce against the pit release button!

The siren goes off and the pit descends, with Hot Sauce being stuck where it is as the front hinged flipper is firing into thin air with no effect at all. The wheels arenâ‚¬â„¢t touching the floor and the yellow and purple wedge is in trouble now as Mega Masher 2 lines up an attack with the vertical flywheel, now up to speed courtesy of that powerful lynch motor. Chris puts the pedal to the medal now and zooms in on the attack of Hot Sauce, but just before reaching his beached opponent The Zodiac intercepts the attack and slams into the unprotected side of Mega Masher 2, tearing out the left drive motor and sending Mega Masher 2 flying across the arena and into Hot Sauce, knocking No Waiâ‚¬â„¢s decorative wedge down to the ground and back into the fight! Mega Masher struggles to move in circles, but there is no worry as Hot Sauce slides in underneath the side of Chrisâ‚¬â„¢ machine and with a flick of the front hinged pneumatic flipper tips Mega Masher 2 into the pit and out of the match!

With just The Zodiac, Hot Sauce and Binary Hell left in the arena the tension increases as no driver left in there wants to be the second robot to bite the dust today. The Zodiac is back at full speed and heads across the arena towards Binary Hell, who comes forward to meet it and Ben looks confident as he feels that his flipper will easily breach that 6mm ground clearance, but he has reckoned without the friendship that has been clearly visible between Hot Sauce and The Zodiac during this match and Hot Sauce drives in from the side of Binary Hell, defeating the skirt this time and turning to push Binary Hell sideways onto the Zodiac!

With a deafening whack Binary Hell is tossed across the arena and slams into the spike strip before falling back to the arena floor missing a side skirt and a key component- the removable link was knocked out from that hit and that has rendered the number bot immobile!
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!
Binary Hell however cool looking it was is counted down and out.

CEASE!

Mega Masher is mashed and Binary Hell is sent to hell;
The Zodiac and Hot Sauce are hot enough to go on through

Excellent writing so far Lewis

5th December 2008, 16:01

Round 1 Eliminators so far:
Autoism 3.0 and Back to Rock III pitted Spin Dash Unleashed (3) and Nidhogg Evo
Mega Masher 2 was smashed up by The Zodiac and pitted by Hot Sauce, who the helped Kody to destroy Binary Hell.

Next Battle:
Supreme vs G4briel: Enjoy the Violence (2) vs Cobalt vs Talisman
Tactics/Predictions por favor!

**joey_picus** · 5th December 2008, 16:09

Tactics are up above, basically team up with Dan and go against the other two, launch them out of existance.

-2>pending me catching Dan on MSN and persuading him to agree with me on this

**kodster** · 5th December 2008, 16:57

Supreme vs G4briel: Enjoy the Violence (2) vs Cobalt vs Talisman

Well if Supreme and G4briel are teaming up, then Supreme will probably go through with G4briel, though Supremes entire front is pretty much 5mm titanium skirting, and if something smacks the skirting away, hes a goner. But...hell go through. I just have a feeling about it.
