Isn€™t it just grand when I update more often? I'm on a roll, aren't I

Eliminator 3
Die-Reverta-Tops vs. Envy

Die-Reverta-Tops hasn€™t done so well in its C&B4 debut, but Christopher Mason€™s revertosaur is looking to at least make some sort of comeback here in MToD 3. It€™s a low wedge based on Spawn Again, with 8mm titanium armour, a powerful flipper, good drive, and a roller on the flipper to help it get out of sticky situations. It will run out of flips eventually, though. But will it get its revenge on...

Envy, who pitted its previous form in C&B3? Shane Swan isn€™t keen on letting that happen, nope. It€™s a realie that recently been redesigned, with 3.2mm Hardox armour and a 10mm titanium front scoop. C40-300s help it get to 16mph fairly quickly, and a gigantic ram and CO2 tank power the low-pressure flipper. Like its adversary, however, its flipper can only run so long...

Roboteers, stand by...

House robots: King Leer and Asterix Anarchius

ACTIVATE!

And here we go! A fast start, as both robots plunge wedge-fiirst straight into each other! But unfortunately for Chris it€™s Shane who wins the initial showdown here, the scoop proving its use as it finds its way under Die-Reverta-Tops and Envy wastes no time, tossing its fellow flipper onto its back! The roller, however, helps move Die-Reverta-Tops away before Envy can capitalize, since Envy didn€™t chase him afterwards, and Die-Reverta-Tops self-rights in magnificent fashion. Perhaps too magnificent, for it came right down on its snout, but it€™s now back on its wheels, as Envy whales on the motors and guns it towards the revertosaur. And now the tides turn, for Die-Reverta-Tops has gotten under Envy! And just like that, Envy is vaulted into the air...into a 360! Not good for Chris, as Shane takes advantage of his own acrobatic act and smashes into Die-Reverta-Tops before the latter can close his flipper, and taking Chris to the wall Shane slams him against the arena wall, tossing him over as merely an afterthought. This time, Chris is caught between Envy and the wall, and unfortunately can€™t get out because he€™s not side-on to the wall, so he self-rights on the spot.

Envy is right there underneath, waiting, and has the full 100kg of Dinobot (biccie for the reference ) crash down onto him, in unspectactular fashion...precisely what Shane wanted. He takes Die-Reverta-Tops to an empty CPZ and tosses him straight in there, holding him there and waiting for a house robot to drop in. And drop in one does! It€™s the new big, bad €˜n ugly boy, King Leer, who€™s visiting today, lad, and you€™re the fool! Envy gets the hell out of there as King Leer begins pounding away on the underside of Die-Reverta-Tops...not really doing much damage but preventing Die-Reverta-Tops from self-righting, and that€™s critical! Envy, noticing Asterix Anarchius not venturing from his CPZ, moves back in bravely and rams Die-Reverta-Tops, rattling the insides like an...inside that€™s been rattled! He barely dodges a shot from the blades of the house robot occupying the CPZ, and Die-Reverta-Tops is desparately trying to right itself to protect its underbelly from further harm, but those blades are denying it completely!

Shane, thinking ahead, drives Envy into the pit release, opening the pit, as Die-Reverta-Tops struggles in its predicament, and finally The Watcher arrives to boot King Leer from the CPZ...but you can€™t do that, Watcher! The CPZ belongs to the house robots! King Leer€™s distractedness is all Chris needs, however, as his robot finally tosses itself into and away from the fell, dreadful King and away after Envy...amazingly, those blows hardly dealt any external damage, and seemingly likewise for the internals, but it did try to right itself several tries...has it wasted too much CO2? Envy is right back in Die-Reverta-Tops€™ face, and again gets under its opponent and...no, it rams Die-Reverta-Tops back into that same CPZ! And then it flips. Just not Chris€™ day, today, as King Leer resumes hammering away happily onto the underside of the poor revertosaur. Envy backs up and rams Die-Reverta-Tops further into the front of the house robot, trying to stick it on top of the sort of body of King Leer, and gets a shot from the blades itself! Evidently that was a call from King Leer to €˜shoo€™!

As Chris tries to find some way to right his machine, Envy decides to back off and wait. And ironically that€™s the cue when Asterix Anarchius suddenly bursts from its own CPZ and absolutely launches itself into Die-Reverta-Tops€™ side...which sends it out of the way! Envy notices and charges towards the still-inverted flipper...who can€™t seem to do a thing! Envy rams it nonetheless and presses it against the wall with its front-hinged flipper. Uh...Chris? You had best right your robot unless you want it to be counted out...and clearly Chris is hammering on the flipper button, but clearly Die-Reverta-Tops is unable to seem to use it! And it€™s clearly Envy who€™s going to move on, as Die-Reverta-Tops progresses no further once again, sprawled pathetically on its back, The Watcher looming nearer and nearer with its ominous countdown not far behind!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!

CEASE!

Die-Reverta-Tops makes a lasting impression of utter failure, as its roar is reduced to a pitiful whimper!
Envy advances to Round 2!
