Delirium Tremors VS Turbulence (14)

Dan: It all comes down to this, here in the Heat Final. Delirium Tremors and Turbulence meet here, and I am joined right now by the pit reporter. So Justine, what do you think about this final?
Justine: Delirium Tremors, when I first saw it, the weapon seemed absolutely frightening. Turbulence is also a superb robot with the huge flipper, the four-wheel drive, the whole nine yards. With these two great robots in the heat final, it's gonna be an awesome match-up.
Dan: Well, I agree that it's gonna be a great match. However, Delirium Tremors, I think has the more edge here because of the weapon. Although it's quite slow and sluggish, its weapon is the key here to win. What do you think?
Justine: Delirium Tremors DOES have a more dangerous weapon, so I agree with your decision. I'm going for Delirium Tremors to dazzle us all in the final.
Dan: Well then, let's see if we're on the money!

Sam: So, the series semi-finals awaits for one of these robots. Who will it be? Let's all find out... IN THE HEAT FINAAAAAL!!!!

(HEAT FINAL!!!)

Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome...

DELIRIUM TREMORS!!!

VEEEEERY dangerous. That lethal drum can cause lots of damage.

TURBULENCE!!!

The powerful flipper is what makes Turbulence such a formidable opponent. How will it fare here?

Roboteers, Stand by...

Let's see here... Matt is focused on the controls of Delirium Tremors in one booth, and in the other one, we can see Jack Orr driving Turbulence. The house robots we'll see in this battle is Sgt. Bash with the lethal pincers and the ever-so-dangerous flame thrower... and King Arthur, the big daddy of them all, opening up his maw in hopes of trapping someone.

3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!

These are two very formidable machines here. Delirium Tremors is currently spinning up its lethal drum to full speed. Turbulence, however, is much more nippier than Delirium Tremors. Turbulence is coming in quickly and slams into the drumbot before it gets up to full speed, and flips it! It has absolutely no effect, as Delirium Tremors is invertible. However, Turbulence will score points on aggression if this goes to a judge's decision. Delirium Tremors spinning up again, but Turbulence comes in on its side! It gets underneath Delirium Tremors and tosses it up in the air! Great attack by Turbulence, but Delirium Tremors is doing pretty well hanging on in there. Now, Matt can't take it anymore, so he gets the drum up to speed on Delirium Tremors again, and this time, it goes for Turbulence's side...
CRASH!!!
Turbulence is tossed by the deadly drum of Delirium Tremors and comes back down with a thump! Turbulence fights back by shoving Delirium Tremors into the CPZ of King Arthur, and Delirium Tremors gets away just in the nick of time! Delirium Tremors spins up again, and this time, it goes for the other side of Turbulence, drum spun up to full speed! Turbulence is trying to get away...
CRASH!!!
... and the collision is massive! There is a huge flurry of sparks being created, and the slam sends Turbulence flying onto its back. Nice attack there by Delirium Tremors. Turbulence self-rights, slams into Delirium Tremors' side and flips it! Delirium Tremors spins up again, and slams into the side of Turbulence once more...
CRASH!!!
The slam sends Turbulence flying again, sparks litter the arena floor, and Delirium Tremors will score points for that. Turbulence is still moving properly though, and this is a terrific battle we're seeing here! Turbulence is a great robot, it reached the Heat Final last year, only to be beaten by Son of Ripper Hex, and was also a champion in the Roaming Robots competition several years ago as well. Now, Turbulence gets underneath the drumbot again and carries it to the wall!
FLIP!!!
OH! It just manages to hang on! Delirium Tremors gets back in and hangs on by the skin of its chinny-chin-chin! Now, Delirium Tremors spins up yet again... oh my goodness, I have never seen the drum move that fast...
CRASH!!!
The collision is absolutely huge, as it tosses Turbulence like a salad. Sparks litter the arena floor, and both robots are doing very well. Turbulence is slightly limping around the arena, but it sure doesn't stop from fighting back! It flips the drumbot from Bedford, and both robots are doing absolutely amazing here. Turbulence now being chased by Delirium Tremors again, and the drumbot comes in, weapon spun up to full speed!
CRASH!!!
The forecast calls for flurries of sparks! Big collision there as Turbulence is tossed in the air again by that dangerous and deadly drum RIGHT INTO THE ARENA SAWS! BZZZT! Even more sparks fly, and the audience loves it! Turbulence fights back, and slams into the side of Delirium Tremors, and carries it to the wall again...
FLIP!
It didn't go out, as Delirium Tremors again, manages to hang on in there! WOW! This is a great attack there by the former Roaming Robots champion, and Matt just manages to hang on, and he breathes a sigh of relief. Delirium Tremors, spins up again--
CRASH!!!
... and what a collision this was! Turbulence gets tossed by that deadly drum of Delirium Tremors again, and Turbulence lands in the CPZ of King Arthur... uh-oh. King Arthur is angry as heck. He does not like someone invading his personal space. Trust me, you wouldn't want to imagine King Arthur getting angry. Oh my goodness... he isn't JUST angry, he is absolutely ticked off to the max. His flywheel is spinning, and he is just-- OH NO. Turbulence is trying to get away, but...
KERRASH!!!
Oh... my... god. That hit is monumental. The slam sends the former Roaming Robots champ flying, and almost out of the arena! There is a huge dent in the armour due to the attack. Turbulence is immobile and not moving, but its flipper IS working somehow! It's firing its flipper to show some sign of life, but now Delirium Tremors charges at the open flipper...
BOOM!
Turbulence can't do anything about this. There goes the weapon, and the CO2 ram of Turbulence's flipper has been snapped by the drum. OUCH. The Refbot hurries over to Turbulence, knowing the time has come for him to do his everyday duty.
1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8... 9... 10!!!
Turbulence is out of there. Jack puts his controls down and claps for Matt. A brilliant robot has gone out of the competition, and the house robots gang up on Turbulence. King Arthur opens up its maw and takes Turbulence in it, and now it drops Turbulence off on the arena flipper. 3... 2... 1... and we have lift-off! Turbulence tumbles onto its back, and King Arthur pushes the pit button, and the audience must really love that! They want Turbulence down in the pit of doom! Now Sgt. Bash slowly pushes Turbulence ever so close to the pit... and that's it, and Turbulence has fallen in! It's all over... OR IS IT? Matt is grinning devilishly as he spins up, and-- OH NO, HE WOULDN'T!!!
CRASH!!!
Yes... he did it anyway. Delirium Tremors rips a chunk out of Sgt. Bash. Jack is loving it, he's pounding on the glass and cheering. Matt smiles, and nods in satisfaction. Sgt. Bash on the other hand, not so much.

CEASE!

Turbulence (14) could not escape the delirious power of the drum.
Delirium Tremors goes through to the Series Semi-Finals!!!

Sam: Well Jack, things didn't REALLY go according to plan, now did it?
Jack: Afraid not. (Laughs)
Sam: Are you disappointed?
Jack: Yeah, it's disappointing to lose, but hey, there's always next time.
Sam: Yes! That's the spirit. You coming back?
Jack: Oh, you bet I am.
Sam: Alright! Everyone, this is a truly gallant competitor, let's hear it for TURBULENCE!!!
(CROWD CHEERS)
Sam: Well? You did it!
Matt: I sure did indeed.
Sam: The drum is very good on your robot. What was the tactic for the battle?
Matt: Same as always. Rip and shred, that was the tactic for the most part.
Sam: Congratulations on winning the heat. Do you think you'll go all the way?
Matt: I'll do my best and see what happens. But for the most part, I'm confident.
Sam: That is great to hear! Ladies and Gentlemen, raise the roof for your winner of Heat J, DELIRIUM TREMORS!!!
(CROWD CHEERS)
Sam: Delirium Tremors destroys opponents in a flash, and takes over as winner in today's episode of RoboBash! Good night!
(Crowd cheers, Jack, Matt and Sam shakes hands)

Next time on Heat K...
12th seeds, Ge5orce returns with a vengeance! Can it make robots fly even higher than last time? Also, last year's Heat Finallist, Killobite, returns with a demonic new look. Will it take a big bite out of the competition?

Ge5orce VS Killotine Evo VS Lightning XP1*
Killobite Sigma VS Alpha Bolt VS Bigger Brother

BE THERE!

*After thinking about it, I decided to change Mark Elam's entry back to Lightning XP1, because Cosmic Thunder was taken from Alex McW. Mark, if you're reading this, I'm truly sorry that I changed it. Hope you understand.

In the meantime, tactics and predictions are welcome as always
