Fanfic Wars - Series 1

[kodster]

Well bugging other people (Joey for instance :P) didn't exactly do much. So we go on...

Heat J Final
Wedge Devolution vs. Flaming Hell

Flaming Hell actually looked very, very nice during this battle. It managed to completely take out the flipper of Wedge Devolution, which would have been its bane. What WAS its bane, however, was Wedge Devolution finally stopping the weapon, and sending it into the pit!

No changes to the scoreboard. Heat K up later when I can get to the line-ups on my home computer.

Thanks for the replies, guys!

Heat K
Round 1

Maelstrom (12) vs. Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus vs. Splinter vs. S3

The major factor in this fight was aggression. Every single robot in this fight was unfathomably aggressive. Maelstrom and Die-Ceratops got in quite a bit of lovely flips, Splinter punched some holes into S3, and S3 ripped 'n' flipped Maelstrom and Die-Ceratops (and Splinter) quite a few times. The turning point in this fight was S3 riding up Splinter's wedge and Splinter getting a lock on them, and then pitting them. This opened the door for Maelstrom and Die-Ceratops to be even more aggressive and several flips between the two later, Die-Ceratops got Splinter over the fence! Despite the knockouts, it was a great fight and the audience (and the drivers of Splinter and S3) cheered heartily.

SMIDSY (21) vs. Plunderbird 5 vs. Tira VI vs. Helliant

Shorter fight, but much sweeter. Tira VI was completely destructive and managed to rip open Helliant like tin-foil within the first few seconds of the match and send Bosch motors flying. SMIDSY then went in and managed to flip over Tira VI, but the Canadian robot righted itself. While Plunderbird 5 clumsily pitted the smoking remnants of Helliant, SMIDSY bravely charged Tira VI again and again, but the 21st seeds were getting ripped apart by that disc. Plunderbird then rushed to the aid of SMIDSY and tried getting around the rear end. This proved to be their downfall when Tira VI's rear flipper managed to tip over Plunderbird and leave them for dead. All in all, total domination from Tira VI. Hopefully SMIDSY will be repaired by the next match.

Round 2

(got Joey's predictions via MSN - Tira and SMIDSY)

Round 2

Maelstrom (12) vs. Tira VI

Fairly even, back and forth... until Tira VI managed to strike Maelstrom's exposed wheel cleanly with the disc. While not replicating the wheel breakage of the fight with X-Terminator, this completely immobilized the wheel and left Maelstrom spinning in a circle. Tira backed off and let Maelstrom get counted out. Shunt then foolishly drove up Maelstrom's front wedge! On one wheel though it was Maelstrom turned to the wall and nearly got Shunt out! Maelstrom paid dearly for this though when Growler charged into Maelstrom and slammed it HARD against the arena wall, where it started venting CO2. Upon returning to the pits, they found the CO2 supply had ruptured AND the failsafe had been dislodged.

SMIDSY (21) vs. Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus

Compared to the last match, this was fairly boring. Die-Ceratops did not get a single flip in at all due to SMIDSY avoiding their long flipper and staying near the wheels. Unfortunately SMIDSY couldn't really get too much of an attack going themselves so they just pushed Die-Ceratops around at odd angles. The judges decision gave it to SMIDSY.
