VRW Series 4

[corsair_lightning]

Look at it again. I added a part where Gearcrow gets a yellow card.

[joey_picus]

...so strange house robot thing arbitrarily eliminating a robot that had been doing alright is perfectly okay, because it gets a yellow card?

That doesn't make the intervention any less unfair on Sam...

[corsair_lightning]

I made a mistake in the round 2 line-ups.

Whiplash (1) vs Firestorm 5

Starfire the 4th vs Maximum Genocide (6)

And anyways, Killalot did it to Killertron in an Extreme mayhem, and he didn't get a yellow card.

[kodster]

That was because Killertron was already going in circles. :P

Anyway I'll jump on Maximum Genocide and avoid its ring altogether! muahahaha

and Whiplash I guess to win the other fight

Whiplash VS Firestorm

Hmm... I have 4WD and Firestorm has only 2WD, so I will open the pit first of all, avoid the front like there is no tomorrow, and get underneath the sides or back, and hack it to death and pit it.

[corsair_lightning]

Alright... Our round 2 battles...

Whiplash (1) vs Firestorm 5

Our house robots will be Dead Metal and Shunt.

3..2..1..Activate!!!

And in comes Whiplash, immediately turning and getting around to the back of Firestorm 5. Apparently, Pete wasn't able to fix the motors, as Whiplash comes down with the axe, crumpling into the aluminum armor. Firestorm doesn't appear mobile, as Whiplash runs all the way to the other side of the arena. The finalist now charges towards Firestorm, knocking the former Robot Wars finalist into Shunt's CPZ. Shunt comes in with the axe, causing more damage to the armour, and in comes Dead Metal, coming down with the saw and causing even more damage to the exterior of Firestorm 5. The Guardian now enters the scene, as it lands and counts out the wreck that was Firestorm 5...
1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..10!
And now, Shunt presses the pit release bumper, as Dead Metal shoves Firestorm down. Ha ha! And Whiplash shoved Dead Metal down as well!

Firestorm 5 is burned out...

WHIPLASH (1) GOES ON TO THE HEAT FINAL!!!

Starfire the 4th vs Maximum Genocide (6)

Our house robots will be Sir Killalot and Matilda.

3..2..1..Activate!!!

Starfire spins up its disc, as Maximum Genocide also spins up both of its weapons. Suddenly, Starfire bolts forward, knocking both machines back from the point of impact. Starfire is now moving slowly with a massive gash in the actuating arm, but Maximum Genocide isn't moving at all, seeing as one of its wheels is caught on the arena wall. However, the wheels are still spinning, and so is that blade! But its too late, as Starfire once again bolts forward, miraculously ramming the 6th seed onto the camera tracks.

Maximum Genocide loses! The 6th seed won't be killing for a while...

STARFIRE THE 4TH MOVES ON TO THE HEAT FINAL!!!

So here's the heat final:

Whiplash (1) vs Starfire the 4th

[samuel3764]

Whiplash VS Starfire the 4th

Tactics: I will never even think about driving onto its front, and also I will STAY AWAY from the front at ALL costs! Then, I will hack the sides and rear to DEATH.

Good luck, Kody.

[kodster]

...my vapourbot can jump, and you never even stated so in its fights, once!

Anyway hopefully I'll jump into Whiplash and disable its axe with my awesome disc, then kill it from the outside in.

[corsair_lightning]

Alright... The heat final...

To quote Steven McGregor: Heat A: The Story so Far

WHIPLASH (1) AND STARFIRE THE 4TH won their battle after Elizabeth broke down, and Iron Awe 5 was immobilized by Whiplash.

MAXIMUM GENOCIDE (6) AND FIRESTORM 5 won their battle after Firestorm flipped 259, and the house robots OOTAed Blue Hurricane!

WHIPLASH (1) rammed Firestorm 5 OOTA.

STARFIRE THE 4TH miraculously rammed Maximum Genocide (6) OOTA after one of the 6th seed's wheels got caught on the arena wall.

And now, the heat final:

Whiplash (1) vs Starfire the 4th

Our house robots for this fight will be the 374kg Gearcrow, and another new design: Auger Henstrom!

3..2..1..Activate!!!

And now, the first ever heat final of VRW4 begins! And in comes Starfire, coming in with the disc, and suddenly jumping into the air! Apparently, the robot has a jumping system using pneumatics that I didn't know about! Anyways, Starfire now charges towards the side of Whiplash, and tears the skirt right off! The hit has flung Whiplash into the air, as it now crashes back down on top of Starfire. Kody now fires the pneumatic system, and Whiplash is once again hurled into the air! My goodness, this is one of the most spectacular fights I've ever seen! Whiplash once again crashes down, but now it's stuck on the arena wall! This is an absolute miracle! Will a tournament champion go out before it makes it to the semi-finals? Not yet, as an axe thrust from Whiplash frees it from the wall, however Starfire is there with the disc, and it rips off another skirt! Whiplash is once again stuck on the arena wall, as Kody gets underneath and fires the pneumatic system. Whiplash is thrown in the air, however Kody is now stuck on the arena wall. As the champ lands on top of Starfire, Kody, in frustration, fires the pneumatic system the wrong way, causing both robots to fly in the air and end up on the camera tracks!

CEASE!

And now, a judges' decision.

As you know, our robots get a mark out of ten for style, control, damage, and aggression. Aggression is multiplied by 2, while damage is multiplied by 3.

Anyways: some highlights...

First, Starfire causing damage, and stranding Whiplash on the wall. However, the key part is there, where both robots go onto the camera tracks...

Control:

Starfire the 4th: 5/10 (Had control over the match, but seriously lost it when it launched itself over the wall)
Whiplash (1): 7/10 (Had lots of control, even when being flipped)

Style:

Starfire the 4th: 10/10 (Watching that thing fly was very stylish)
Whiplash (1): 9/10 (Watching it fly too was also stylish)

Aggression:

Starfire the 4th: 8/10 = 16/20 (Kept attacking Whiplash over and over)
Whiplash (1): 5/10 = 10/20 (Managed to get a few hits in)

Damage:

Starfire the 4th: 6/10 = 18/30 (Only destroyed the skirts. Nothing more.)
Whiplash (1): 2/10 = 6/30 (To be honest, it did nothing)

Total:

Starfire the 4th: 49
Whiplash (1): 32

HOLY SH*T!!! For the first time in all of fan-fiction, a champion has not made it to the semi-finals!!!

STARFIRE THE 4TH GOES THROUGH TO THE SEMI-FINALS!!!
