Okay

In that case...

Lightweight:

Hit 'em Harder vs. Pendulum

Very interesting line-up, as we're both similar designs. However, I have 1 key advantage:
Wedges.
Pendulum looks pretty rammable to me, so I'll do my best to ram the hell out of him and try to get him down the pit. I have four times his traction, so control shouldn't be an issue. I'll press the pit release early and then concentrate my efforts on pitting him. I doubt thwacking will do much for me, so I'll just ram him unless I have a particularly awesome opportunity to cause some damage with my thwack :P

Good luck Andy, may the best thwack win!

Heavyweight:

Equinox vs. Metallic Doom

Well, I certainly don't want to get caught in those claws, they look MEAN! With 8 manoeuvrability versus a shuffler I should be safe though. The plan is what you'd expect by reading Equinox's stats; use the superior manoeuvrability to swoop in past the opponent's weaponry, lift them up with the forks and get them stuck on the barbs, then clamp them with the arm and take them to the pit ASAP.

Good luck Lian!

In the other matches I think The Tunguska Project, Mr. T, Meatloaf 2 and Super Gore Septua will advance

Looks to be a great new innovative tournament Steve><!
