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


Refbot's green light signals the start of the match and they're off! 7roubloon spins up to speed, and Hydra is trying to avoid the flywheels here. Hydra actually made it to the Heat Final in the Sixth Wars, only to be finished off by Robot Wars fan favourite Dominator 2. Hydra now slams into the side of 7roubloon, and slams its hammer down! That didn't really cause much damage at all, but Hydra will score points on the attack... good aggression early on being shown by the 3-time Robot Wars veteran. However, 7roubloon spins up and slams into Hydra with the fully spun-up flywheel!
CRASH!!!
That causes sparks to fly, and a dent can be seen in Hydra's armour. That's good attack there by the 6th seeded machine, as it sends Hydra spinning away. Hydra takes exception to that, it doesn't like it one bit! Now it retaliates and slams into 7roubloon; now it sends the Canuck machine into the saws! BZZZZT! The sparks fly and the audience is loving that, aren't they? Now, Hydra still on the attack, as 7roubloon is away from the saws but not from Hydra as it slams the discbot right into the CPZ of Sgt. Bash where 7roubloon is grabbed by the lethal pincers! 7roubloon tries to get away and it does eventually. Hydra is going to score points on the attack there, and 7roubloon is spinning up relentlessly, as it has a bead on Hydra, and Kody is sick of being pushed around, it looks like! He doesn't want to be attacked, he wants to attack Hydra! Oh no--
CRASH!!!
Oh baby, that hit sends great sparks flying across the arena! As the flywheel crashes into Hydra's side, the attack causes a huge amount of sparks to fly, and there is a dent on the side of Hydra! 7roubloon seems to be gaining momentum steadily here, the Canadian machine having a nice and even battle with Hydra. Now, it spins up again, and it slams into the side of the former Robot Wars heat finallist! Hydra tries to get away...
CRASH!!!
... and it didn't happen. That did not go according to plan, and look at the damage caused to it! Hydra has a gash in the titanium armour, and spins away into Mindbender's CPZ! Uh-oh, this doesn't look good... Hydra trying desperately to get away here... Mindbender spinning up!
CRASH!!!!!
That did not go as planned either for Hydra! My goodness, the power of the spinning cage is massive, as it spins Hydra away, with Hydra losing armour in the process! That has to hurt... can you say, OUCH?! Now, Hydra is in massive trouble here, it looks like. Its limping is very noticeable although it's still hanging on. 7roubloon is now moving in on Hydra, and tries slamming into it using the flywheel! Hydra trying to get away...
CRASH!!!
Hydra is just spun away by the force of that collision, but surprisingly trying to hang on! The armour has a gash in it due to the previous attack by 7roubloon. Now, Hydra is trying desperately to slam into the side of 7roubloon and attack the side of the 6th seeds... and it does! It fires the axe and it makes a slight dent in the top armour... not too visible though. Hydra now attempts to flip over 7roubloon and it does! However, 7roubloon is invertible; it is completely oblivious to the attack, and gets away like nothing ever happened. Its spinning discs start rotating at high speeds. Now, it crashes into the side of Hydra!
CRASH!!!
Hydra is again sent spinning across the floor, but it's still managing to hold on! Kody wants to end it all here, and spins up... BUT WAIT A MINUTE! Hydra plays the brave fool, and slams into it! Hydra now pushes the 6th seeded machine onto the saws! BZZZT! Sparks fly and the audience loves it, and now 7roubloon gets away from the saws, but not from Hydra! It flips over 7roubloon back on its right side up using the lifter, and good aggression being shown there by the former Robot Wars heat finallist. Now, 7roubloon starts spinning up the weapon to full speed again, and the cutting discs are spinning so fast, that you can barely see the blades now! Oh my goodness, now it drives off and quickly SLAMS into Hydra with brutal force!
CRASH!!!
OH!!! Hydra just gets absolutely slammed by the spinning disc of 7roubloon with a HUGE shower of sparks! Good Lord, that noise was frightening, indeed! Hydra is in very bad shape here, oh dear... this does not look good. Hydra is limping heavily, but it is somehow alive... only just. Hydra comes in on 7roubloon's side and axes the Canadian machine up before the discs are spinning up to full speed! 7roubloon gets away from the axe of Hydra... and spins up to full speed! Now it goes for the jugular on Hydra... and slams into the former heat finallist of Robot Wars! Hydra tries to turn away...
CRASH!!!
Hydra is taking some horrible punishment out there... and the flywheel clobbers the left side of Hydra and rips some armour off! Some of the titanium armour is ripped away there... and it's safe to say that 7roubloon has won this match. Hydra is just getting absolutely brutalized out there, it's running in circles with nowhere to go... Refbot knows what that means, and the countout is on!
1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8... 9... 10!!!
Hydra is out of there! Lian claps for Kody, and now, Hydra is about to take even more punishment from the house robots. Mindbender spins up and slams into the right side of Hydra... OH NO!!!
KERRASH!!!!!!!
OH MY GAWD!!! That hit sends the machine from Oxfordshire spinning away and losing some more armour in the process! Look at that... just ripped away there! I tell you what, Hydra did pretty well in this battle, using the deadly axe well. However, the twin discs of terror on 7roubloon proved to be more damaging... and now Mindbender slightly nudges the pit button, and we all know what this means. Sgt. Bash lines up the beaten Hydra near the pit, and Mindbender starts nudging it towards the pit... and it will... go DOWN. BOOM! Well done to both teams, but WAIT A MINUTE! It looks like 7roubloon is spinning up for some reason... why is it-- OH NO. This does not look good at all... IT WOULDN'T!!!
CRASH!!!
Sgt. Bash gets CLOBBERED by the flywheel of 7roubloon, and loses some armour... OUCH. Meanwhile, Lian is absolutely enjoying this scene up in his booth... Sgt. Bash, on the other hand, not so much.


CEASE!


Hydra decides to hang on in there, but eventually gets the heave-ho.
7roubloon (6) is off to the Heat N Final!
