Darkness vs Snookums

Darkness	Snookums
Votes for Darkness A pretty uninspiring first battle, but I think that Darkness seemed to have pretty solid pushing power, so I'd say it will pit Snookums. MattTalk to me 10:34, February 18, 2013 (UTC) I concur, Snookums lacks the pushing power, and doesn't have the weapon power to fend off being shoved around for the battle's entirety. Darkness to win on a judges' decision. Datovidny (talk) 10:38, February 18, 2013 (UTC) Snookums pitted. Sam (BAZINGA) 13:02, February 18, 2013 (UTC) I think Darkness will push Snookums sideways, tipping it over. ToastUltimatum 16:03, February 18, 2013 (UTC) Aaarrrr, another very short stint in the arena for the crazy pirate guys. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 18:07, February 18, 2013 (UTC) A pushing match is likely to come about here, and Darkness looks like it'd be the better pusher. Snookums' snout would make effective pushing very difficult. CrashBash (talk) 20:57, February 18, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Snookums
Winner: Darkness (6-0)

Atomic vs Derek 2

Atomic	Derek 2
Votes for Atomic Atomic is more than a match for Derek, simple flip job, then OotA. MattTalk to me 10:34, February 18, 2013 (UTC) No question about it, Atomic to flip Derek out of the arena in similar style to Terror Turtle. Datovidny (talk) 10:39, February 18, 2013 (UTC) Atomic to send Derek OotA. Sam (BAZINGA) 13:02, February 18, 2013 (UTC) Atomic's wrath has already begun. ToastUltimatum 16:03, February 18, 2013 (UTC) No contest. CrashBash (talk) 20:57, February 18, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Derek 2
Winner: Atomic (5-0)

The Big Cheese vs Botwork

The Big Cheese	Botwork
Votes for The Big Cheese I'll go for the unexpected result, on the basis of how high Botwork's disc is raised up. I think this gives Roger Plant the potential to lift and put Botwork onto its side. MattTalk to me 10:34, February 18, 2013 (UTC) The disc on Botwork doesn't look low enough to actually get much of a purchase on The Big Cheese to make any impression. On the flip side, Botwork's ground clearance looks plentiful for The Big Cheese to lift it up and topple it onto its side, job done. Datovidny (talk) 10:41, February 18, 2013 (UTC) Botwork in the pit. Sam (BAZINGA) 13:02, February 18, 2013 (UTC) This should be a pretty easy Sir Killaot esque lift-and-pit maneuver. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 18:08, February 18, 2013 (UTC) Botwork looks like its disc could be easily hooked. Big Cheese will easily have its way from there. CrashBash (talk) 20:57, February 18, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Botwork Both of these robots deserve a place, but ultimately, The Big Cheese has some vulnerable sides, and I can't see Botwork being side-stranded with those fins on the side of it. Overturning it does even less, so Botwork has to take it. ToastUltimatum 16:03, February 18, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: The Big Cheese (5-1)

Disc-O-Inferno vs Rot Box

Disc-O-Inferno	Rot Box
Votes for Disc-O-Inferno Ooh... All of those solid edges... It'll be painful. MattTalk to me 10:34, February 18, 2013 (UTC) The exposed wheels in particular look very suspect, Disc-O-Inferno to romp to victory with Rot Box coming out in pieces. Datovidny (talk) 10:43, February 18, 2013 (UTC) the wooden bot destroyed. Sam (BAZINGA) 13:02, February 18, 2013 (UTC) Party time. ToastUltimatum 16:03, February 18, 2013 (UTC) Rot Box is made of wood. Let that sink in...CrashBash (talk) 20:57, February 18, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Rot Box
Winner: Disc-O-Inferno (5-0)

Anvil vs Scutter's Revenge

Anvil	Scutter's Revenge
Votes for Anvil Nearly voted the elder Scutter's way; however on balence I think that Anvil's superior speed will win the day. MattTalk to me 10:34, February 18, 2013 (UTC) Both have the ability to push the other when facing them, the questions for me are who can do the pushing when both are head-on? and who has the greater chance of getting round the side for a push? My answer to both is the slightly heavier and slightly more nimble Anvil. Datovidny (talk) 10:45, February 18, 2013 (UTC) The series 3 machine out pushed and down the pit. Sam (BAZINGA) 13:02, February 18, 2013 (UTC) It comes down to which robot has the lower wedge, but as I can't judge that, I'll have to use Anvil's speed and Scutter's Revenge's unreliability as a reason to vote for Anvil. I don't necessarily agree with myself for voting this way. ToastUltimatum 16:03, February 18, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Scutter's Revenge
Winner: Anvil (4-0)

The Revolutionist vs Hefty

The Revolutionist	Hefty
Votes for The Revolutionist Hefty is certainly awkward to cause serious damage to, on account of its shape, but realistically how can it fight back? Revolutionist on a judge's. MattTalk to me 10:34, February 18, 2013 (UTC) The Revolutionist has more damage potential, and the scars will show up more on Hefty's shell. The Revolutionist to win on a judges' decision on damage. Datovidny (talk) 10:46, February 18, 2013 (UTC) The Revolutionist to wreck Hefty. Sam (BAZINGA) 13:02, February 18, 2013 (UTC) How can a robot armed with static spikes do anything to a full-body spinner? ToastUltimatum 16:03, February 18, 2013 (UTC) Not exactly difficult...CrashBash (talk) 20:57, February 18, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Hefty
Winner: The Revolutionist (5-0)

Cataclysmic Variabot vs Shockwave

Cataclysmic Variabot	Shockwave
Votes for Cataclysmic Variabot Slightly leaving towards C.V. on account of weaponry, but this one could really go either way. MattTalk to me 10:34, February 18, 2013 (UTC) Definitely an interesting one. As neither robots have a wedge, and Shockwave's weapon will probably stop upon contact, I'll go with Cataclysmic Variabot, it looks like a better pusher. ToastUltimatum 16:03, February 18, 2013 (UTC) Shockwave's driving has never been too spactacular and its weapon also doesn't have much torque. CV is a bit more maneuverable and I'm sure a few blows with the axe should give it the points to win. --Headbanger14/The Hardcore Kid 16:56, February 18, 2013 (UTC) Granted Shockwave spent most of its time fighting a robot that was impossible for it to hit, but its weapon didn't look hugely deadly. I think it'll come down to pushing and reliability, which I'm leaning towards CV on. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 18:25, February 18, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Shockwave My money's on Shockwave, as long as we have no driving errors. Shockwave may have only had a rear weapon that did very little, but I doubt C.V.'s weapon will be any better. Shockwave has more pace about it, and I bet it has slightly more push about it, so it can clinch this on a judges' decision, though I'm not expecting a very lively battle. Datovidny (talk) 10:49, February 18, 2013 (UTC) I believe that Shockwave has the advantage on pushing power and weaponry here. The spinning blade looked okay (though it was too high to hit Anvil), and there appears to be decent power to back up the ramming spikes. It should beat CV on a judges decision or a pitting. ManUCrazy (talk) 10:52, February 18, 2013 (UTC) C.V. pushed around for the entire fight by Shockwave, who'll win a judges decision. Sam (BAZINGA) 13:02, February 18, 2013 (UTC) TBH, neither robot looked like it had a very effective weapon. But I think Shockwave's is more likely to score hits, giving it points in the aggression category if nothing else. CrashBash (talk) 20:57, February 18, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: Shockwave (4-4) (2-1 Judge's Decision)

Hammerhead (Dutch) vs The Alien

Hammerhead	The Alien
Votes for Hammerhead A close one this, but like I said for Botwork, I don't think The Alien is really going to get much of a purchase on Hammerhead 2 because the latter is so low, and on the flip side, Hammerhead 2, if it can get in underneath, has the flipper, and may be able to flip The Alien over, and The Alien's self-righting was always a tad iffy, even if The Alien can right itself, it'll take long enough for Hammerhead 2 to take advantage and continue to push it around, or even flip it again if it begins to right itself. Hammerhead 2 to win on a tight judges' decision. Datovidny (talk) 10:51, February 18, 2013 (UTC) The Alien to be pitted. Sam (BAZINGA) 13:02, February 18, 2013 (UTC) Pretty much what Dato said. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 18:11, February 18, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for The Alien I respect Hammerhead as a machine, but that caging on the sides will really suffer here. Torn to shreds. MattTalk to me 10:34, February 18, 2013 (UTC) Hammerhead's flipper was completely unimpressive in my view, so this battle should consist of The Alien getting in a few hits with the hammer to win the judges decision. ManUCrazy (talk) 11:04, February 18, 2013 (UTC) Hammerhead 2 had five minutes to do at least something to Iron Awe 2.1 and Xenomorph, but alas, it did not. A good machine like The Alien can win this battle by doing very little. ToastUltimatum 16:03, February 18, 2013 (UTC) If I had to pick one, I'd go with the robot who's weapon is likelier to do something...and that means The Alien. CrashBash (talk) 17:35, February 19, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: The Alien (4-3)

Zeus (Italy) vs Wild Thing 2

Zeus	Wild Thing 2
Votes for Zeus Another very close one, I think the closest of the lot, but, I'm going for the shocker. Zeus may have been ripped to pieces by Black Hole, but I don't think Wild Thing 2 has anywhere near as much destructive capability, with its disc not really making much of an impression. Whilst Wild Thing has a fair amount of push, I feel it's just going to be effortlessly lifted away by Zeus' lifter everytime it comes near it. After being turned over, Wild Thing will be facing away and a stunned, leaving Zeus to do a bit of pushing. Even without the lifter, I feel Zeus has more grunt than Wild Thing. Close, but I feel Zeus will sway the judges' decision into its favour, just. Datovidny (talk) 10:55, February 18, 2013 (UTC) Tough one, but I don't believe Wild Thing 2 had the damage potenial to cause much trouble to Zeus. Zeus on the other hand can gain a lot of aggression points by flipping Wild Thing 2. ManUCrazy (talk) 11:05, February 18, 2013 (UTC) Another good battle, and it's a shame both can't qualify. Wild Thing 2's ground clearance around all sides and general small size is what makes me think Zeus can toss it about for the whole match, possibly pitting it later on. Can Zeus replicate the success of its replica? ToastUltimatum 16:03, February 18, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Wild Thing 2 I liked Zeus as a machine, but sadly Wild Thing 2 is a better robot all around. Zeus down the pit. MattTalk to me 10:34, February 18, 2013 (UTC) Zeus to be covered with cuts caused by Wild Thing 2 at the end of the fight, which Wild thing 2 will win via judges decision. Sam (BAZINGA) 13:02, February 18, 2013 (UTC) Zeus' flipper looked a lot less impressive than in my battles. The flipper was slow and looked like it needed some lube. Wild Thing's disc worked occasionally, and if it can just stay at the unprotected sides, it should outweigh an invertible bot getting flipped a couple times. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 18:14, February 18, 2013 (UTC) Whilst Zeus will likely stay in one piece, I can't see it defeating the quicker, more agile and more experienced Wild Thing 2. Its flipper didn't even look THAT good, TBH, and Wild Thing refuses to die. CrashBash (talk) 20:57, February 18, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: Wild Thing 2 (4-3)

Xenomorph vs Splinter

Xenomorph	Splinter
Votes for Xenomorph	Votes for Splinter Surely Splinter has the measure of a pushing match here? MattTalk to me 10:34, February 18, 2013 (UTC) Shame, I like Xenomorph, and if it had any kind of pace it would've been a dark horse in the Seventh Wars, probably not in the heat it was given, but even so. But here, I don't think Splinter quite has the power to push Xenomorph around, the latter looked a grippy one, but Splinter can cause aggrovation and damage, clamping the wheels with its side axes and coming down with the third. If Xenomorph isn't immobilised by its wheels being buffeted, then Splinter has it on an easy judges' decision. Datovidny (talk) 10:58, February 18, 2013 (UTC) Splinter has a easy fight here. Sam (BAZINGA) 13:02, February 18, 2013 (UTC) Xenomorph had five minutes to do at least something to Iron Awe 2.1 and Hammerhead 2, but alas, it did not. Xenomorph looks very easy to scoop up and shove around. ToastUltimatum 16:03, February 18, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: Splinter (4-0)

Snake Bite (Swiss) vs Iron Awe

Snake Bite	Iron Awe
Votes for Snake Bite If it was a later Iron Awe, it'd be no contest. However, the speed and general reliability of the original Iron Awe was pretty much non-existent. I know Snake Bite isn't exactly the most reliable here either, but under the circumstances, it will still get a few grips, if not neccessarily punctures. CrashBash (talk) 18:28, February 19, 2013 (UTC) In terms of who's most likely to die first, about even. In terms of who can cause the more damage to knock the other out, I go for Snake Bite and the half decent claw over Iron Awe's small axe. Datovidny (talk) 19:23, February 19, 2013 (UTC) Not much that the average old Iron Awe could do here. Snake Bite has the weaponry advantage, though Iron Awe is probably the better controller and more nimble machine. ManUCrazy (talk) 19:31, February 19, 2013 (UTC) Iron Awe wouldn't get much of a purchase on Snake Bite anyway, it can only really hit the crusher. The front of Iron Awe was very grabbable. ToastUltimatum 20:30, February 19, 2013 (UTC) Iron Awe pierced multiple times and pitted. Sam (BAZINGA) 21:35, February 19, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Iron Awe I have to side for Iron Awe here, because no part of the Grimm machine is low enough for Snake Bite to pinch it. MattTalk to me 18:22, February 19, 2013 (UTC) I don't trust Snake Bite to make any holes, Iron Awe's much tougher than Terror Turtle. Iron Awe may be clumsy, but Snake Bite is fragile and should succumb. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 00:04, February 20, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: Snake Bite (5-2)

Mazakari vs Panzer Wraith

Mazakari	Panzer Wraith
Votes for Mazakari	Votes for Panzer Wraith Mazakari was not a good machine, and Panzer Wraith was average, so I see a pushing match ensuing, with Panzer the clear winner. MattTalk to me 18:22, February 19, 2013 (UTC) Mazakari's blade wasn't even remotely fast enough to cause any damage. Panzer should have an advantage in pushing power. CrashBash (talk) 18:29, February 19, 2013 (UTC) Not a bad blade on Mazakari, but I doubt it'll be able to shred the tracks. Whilst Panzer Wraith had a little saw that probably could cause some scratches that could (just) swing a judges' decision. Datovidny (talk) 19:29, February 19, 2013 (UTC) I'd assume that Panzer Wraith had the pushing power of its predecessor, so it should win the fight on aggression. ManUCrazy (talk) 19:32, February 19, 2013 (UTC) Mazakari's weapon will pretty much be attacking underneath Panzer Wraith, causing no harm at all. Panzer Wraith will then ride all over Mazakari, maybe damaging the aerial. ToastUltimatum 20:30, February 19, 2013 (UTC) Panzer Wrath to push Mazakari around and down the pit. Sam (BAZINGA) 21:35, February 19, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: Panzer Wraith (6-0)

$6 Million Mouse vs Phoenix

$6 Million Mouse	Phoenix
Votes for $6 Million Mouse Phoenix is simply too old to stand up to the Mouse here. MattTalk to me 18:22, February 19, 2013 (UTC) I don't see what a tiny set of scissor blades are going to do...maybe scratch a bit of the Mouse's fur...maybe...CrashBash (talk) 18:33, February 19, 2013 (UTC) The Mouse wasn't exactly brilliant, but could occasionally cause good damage. This is one of those occasions. ManUCrazy (talk) 19:01, February 19, 2013 (UTC) Not really sure I know enough about the Mouse to make a proper opinion, but I don't think Phoenix can do any damage at all, so anything the Mouse can do is something. Datovidny (talk) 19:32, February 19, 2013 (UTC) I know very little about this machine... But I know everything I need to know about Phoenix. ToastUltimatum 20:30, February 19, 2013 (UTC) The Mouse to beat a immortal bird named machine. Sam (BAZINGA) 21:35, February 19, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Phoenix
Winner: $6 Million Mouse (6-0)

Leveler 2 vs Night Stalker

Leveler 2	Night Stalker
Votes for Leveler 2 Night Stalker does not look invertible to me, so one flip from Leveler could settle this. I shall follow Leveler's progress closely, I sniff a dark horse. MattTalk to me 18:22, February 19, 2013 (UTC) I agree with Matt, I do find Leveler 2 a little bit under-rated. It wasn't a bad robot by any means. Night Stalker meanwhile only managed to knock off Basenji's saw and then ended up folding up and falling apart. And it has no srimech. Obvious, much? CrashBash (talk) 18:35, February 19, 2013 (UTC) Night Stalker was awful. Leveler 2, despite being vulnerable to spinners, has a good flipper, and will get the knockout. ManUCrazy (talk) 19:04, February 19, 2013 (UTC) Whilst Night Stalker could cause Leveler 2 some problems, it was unable to self-right, and is faced with a robot that got underneath something as low as Tornado several times. Datovidny (talk) 19:34, February 19, 2013 (UTC) I can't see anybody levelling the scores. ToastUltimatum 20:30, February 19, 2013 (UTC) Night Stalker to be overturned. Sam (BAZINGA) 21:35, February 19, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Night Stalker
Winner: Leveler 2 (6-0)

RT81 vs Red Virus

RT81	Red Virus
Votes for RT81	Votes for Red Virus Neither robot impresses me particularly, but I think that Red Virus simply MUST have a speed and pushing advantage here. MattTalk to me 18:22, February 19, 2013 (UTC) Red Virus has the better weapon, the better manuverability....heck, the better EVERYTHING! CrashBash (talk) 18:37, February 19, 2013 (UTC) RT81 would take 81 hours to move a few feet. Red Virus would surely win this one, barring a shock breakdown. ManUCrazy (talk) 19:07, February 19, 2013 (UTC) I totally agree with Matt's first statement, but I feel its just going to be won by Red Virus running at RT81 several times before retreating and then coming back again. Datovidny (talk) 19:37, February 19, 2013 (UTC) RT81 had a high ground clearance, that probably means something. ToastUltimatum 20:30, February 19, 2013 (UTC) The walking RT81 to be toppled. Sam (BAZINGA) 21:35, February 19, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: Red Virus (6-0)

Velocirippa vs Binky

Velocirippa	Binky
Votes for Velocirippa If Velocirippa is sensible, it will just shove Binky around the arena. If Binky isn't pitted and doesn't break down, it should take a judge's with ease. MattTalk to me 18:22, February 19, 2013 (UTC) Well, it's nice to see that Velocirippa can actually win something here. There's nothing Binky can do to it, and it should break down quicker than Velocirippa surely will. I'm sorry, but I seriously cannot believe Binky can go 50mph...CrashBash (talk) 18:38, February 19, 2013 (UTC) Binky looked out of sorts against Aggrobot. Velocirippa, despite having a Robot Wars record nothing short of an embarrassment, should at least show some of its non RW pedigree here, by ramming its way to a win. ManUCrazy (talk) 19:35, February 19, 2013 (UTC) Neither looks capable of going further than the next round, and neither actually seems capable of doing anything to the other in this battle. However, I back Velocirippa purely for being the more energetic and stylish throughout the battle. Datovidny (talk) 19:40, February 19, 2013 (UTC) The dinosaur based bot to ram Binky until Binky dies. Sam (BAZINGA) 21:35, February 19, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Binky We certainly know Binky was a speedy little blighter, and Velocirippa seems to have too vulnerable of a ground clearance. Velocirippa might have the weapon, but if Binky's lower, they'll just ride up Binky, which can then pit Velocirippa. ToastUltimatum 20:30, February 19, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: Velocirippa (5-1)

Psychokiller vs Destructosaur

Psychokiller	Destructosaur
Votes for Psychokiller I think that Psychokiller may have the advantage here, on one major factor - a wedge. This gives Psychokiller a major pushing advantage, and so I see Destructosaur in the pit. MattTalk to me 18:22, February 19, 2013 (UTC) Neither robot impressed me in the slightest, but realistically, an axe is more likely to hit its target than a set of pincers. CrashBash (talk) 18:41, February 19, 2013 (UTC) George Francis was afraid of Destructosaur, But I don't think his fear was justified. Psychokiller had a decent wedge that dogged Dreadnaut a couple of times, whilst Destructosaur's pincers, did they even lie flush with the ground? If not, I can't see how they can even get a hold on it. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 00:02, February 20, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Destructosaur Psychokiller's side armour was actually pierced by Dreadnought's lifting spikes. Therefore I imagine the front pincers of Destructosaur doing so as well, because of their sharp nature, even if it doesn't grip its opponent. Destructosaur to win on damage points. ManUCrazy (talk) 18:59, February 19, 2013 (UTC) Another battle between two robots that proved fairly unremarkable, no offense, literally. Actually, that last bit wasn't quite fair, as Destructosaur's pincer could actually do some serious damage to Psychokiller's side, assuming it can get a purchase, and perhaps just swing a judges' decision. Datovidny (talk) 19:44, February 19, 2013 (UTC) Tough call, but these arguments sway me more. ToastUltimatum 20:30, February 19, 2013 (UTC) Psychokiller to be dominated by Destructosaur. Sam (BAZINGA) 21:35, February 19, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: Destructosaur (4-3)

T-Wrecks vs Hot Pants

T-Wrecks	Hot Pants
Votes for T-Wrecks Whilst I like Hot Pants, I don't think the axe was necessarily all that powerful, and whilst T-Wrecks might not have been the strongest, I'm sure it could cause enough of a knock to dislodge the removal link, since it only took a light push from the Hassocks Hog to dislodge it the first time. Datovidny (talk) 19:46, February 19, 2013 (UTC) T Wrecks was designed specifically to stand up to axes, and Hot Pants' was hardly menacing. It also had poor reliability, so T Wrex to win by knockout. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 23:49, February 19, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Hot Pants That large axe makes the flat top of T-Wrecks mighty suspect if you ask me... MattTalk to me 18:22, February 19, 2013 (UTC) It's funny...the centre of T-Wrecks looks like a little target...perfect, methinks, for Hot Pants to hit...CrashBash (talk) 18:42, February 19, 2013 (UTC) I'm not convinced that Hot Pants can cause any game ending damage. However, the official weakness of T-Wrecks was supposed to be an exposed aerial, so I suppose that any overhead weapon that works could knock that loose. ManUCrazy (talk) 19:38, February 19, 2013 (UTC) T-Wrecks had an exposed receiver, and generally looks very fun to axe. Additionally, I can't see T-Wrecks being very effective as a sit-and-spinner, the blades were facing outwards. ToastUltimatum 20:30, February 19, 2013 (UTC) Hot Pants is not pants here. However, T-Wrecks's pants. Sam (BAZINGA) 21:35, February 19, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: Hot Pants (5-2)

Robochicken vs U.R.O.

Robochicken	U.R.O.
Votes for Robochicken Flip. Flip. Flip. You get the picture. MattTalk to me 18:22, February 19, 2013 (UTC) No contest whatsoever. U.R.O. died under mild pressure. CrashBash (talk) 18:45, February 19, 2013 (UTC) Finally a robot that I'm impressed by, funnily enough against a robot that won't just give up so easily. Mind you, Robochicken's flipper was pretty harsh, it may only take one crucial flip to do something inside URO, and then it's game over. Datovidny (talk) 19:49, February 19, 2013 (UTC) Little standing in the way of Robochicken's qualification. ToastUltimatum 20:30, February 19, 2013 (UTC) Easy fight for the chicken robot here. Sam (BAZINGA) 21:35, February 19, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for U.R.O.
Winner: Robochicken (5-0)

Skarab vs Daisy

Skarab	Daisy
Votes for Skarab We saw Skarab fight, it performed decently. We cannot say the same for Daisy. MattTalk to me 18:22, February 19, 2013 (UTC) I hate judging battles over robots that never actually fought. It doesn't look, though, like Daisy can do anything to Skarab. Won't be interesting, but Skarab takes the judges. CrashBash (talk) 18:47, February 19, 2013 (UTC) Call my vote invalid if you wish, but I'm voting for Skarab purely for the fact that we know it could perform a little, reaching the heat final, whereas we only know that Daisy was too poorly to even enter the arena. Datovidny (talk) 19:51, February 19, 2013 (UTC) Daisy had four wheels, but a small size and a poor shape for pushing. Therefore, I assume Skarab was the better pushing robot, and is superior on that basis. ToastUltimatum 20:30, February 19, 2013 (UTC) Skarab to hammer Daisy. Sam (BAZINGA) 21:35, February 19, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Daisy
Winner: Skarab (5-0)

Dominator 2 vs Crusader 2

Dominator 2	Crusader 2
Votes for Dominator 2 The first machine that many are going to care about falls. Flat tops are easy pickings for Dominator. MattTalk to me 16:04, February 21, 2013 (UTC) Crusader looked so great...but its battle against Mortis showed it wasn't really too resilient against axes. Enough of those may well render it immobile on one side again, and as we saw last time, its duel chain system didn't always work. CrashBash (talk) 16:44, February 21, 2013 (UTC) Its a shame, especially as Crusader won't really be able to show off any of its good side, Dominator 2 to axe Crusader constantly, leaving the latter unable to break free and swing a judges' decision. Datovidny (talk) 17:00, February 21, 2013 (UTC) Even if Crusader 2 gets a flip or two in, Dominator 2 would just shrug it off and pepper Crusader with holes. ManUCrazy (talk) 17:13, February 21, 2013 (UTC) Dominator 2 to pepper pot Crusader 2. Sam (BAZINGA) 17:39, February 21, 2013 (UTC) A good robot has been lost, but I guess you could say we have a Crusader of the non-qualifiers now.

3 Stegs to Heaven vs Maximus

3 Stegs to Heaven	Maximus
Votes for 3 Stegs to Heaven Maximus' weapon was placed in an absurd place, so it won't be able to do anything. 3 Stegs will push and shove to victory. MattTalk to me 16:04, February 21, 2013 (UTC) 3 Stegs is slightly under-rated. I think it could do what it wanted to Maximus, who just sorta died under mild pressure. CrashBash (talk) 16:44, February 21, 2013 (UTC) Both are quite sluggish, so my vote goes to the robot that will leave the most scars with its weapon before the judges have to choose. Datovidny (talk) 17:01, February 21, 2013 (UTC) Shame there are so many fights between good robots then we get one between a mediocre machine and a terribly designed one. ManUCrazy (talk) 17:13, February 21, 2013 (UTC) Maximus to cut into multi times by 3 Stegs, giving the dinosaur robot the win. Sam (BAZINGA) 17:39, February 21, 2013 (UTC) Maximus was a sad, sad machine. It should have gone out in Round 1 of the New Blood in the first place, it only 'proved its mobility' by moving its ill-designed weapon, and then after barely even moving in the next round, Roobarb can't even get it out of the arena for a send-off. 3 Stegs to Heaven will win by moving, Maximus does not qualify for Ragnabot. ToastUltimatum 20:34, February 21, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Maximus

Vortex Inducer vs ORAC's Revenge

Vortex Inducer	ORAC's Revenge
Votes for Vortex Inducer	Votes for ORAC's Revenge Going to go for ORAC on the grounds that Vortex Inducer seems too cumbersome to launch any real attacks. MattTalk to me 16:04, February 21, 2013 (UTC) I have no real reason for voting for ORAC other than I know it can actually move. CrashBash (talk) 16:45, February 21, 2013 (UTC) I'm pleased to think that I'll see ORAC's Revenge, a mild favourite of mine, win a battle. Vortex Inducer hs the presence, but ORAC's Revenge was smart enough to take it from the side and nag. ORAC's Revenge doesn't have any KO factor at all, and the battle will fall to the judges unless Vortex Inducer breaks down. Either way, my money's on ORAC's Revenge. Datovidny (talk) 17:03, February 21, 2013 (UTC) Vortex Induceer was unreliable and a couple of ram from ORAC's Revenge will KO Vortex Inducer. Sam (BAZINGA) 17:39, February 21, 2013 (UTC) I like Vortex Inducer, but it can't be denied that it will just fall apart. ToastUltimatum 20:34, February 21, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: ORAC's Revenge (5-0)

The Creature vs R.O.C.S.

The Creature	R.O.C.S.
Votes for The Creature	Votes for R.O.C.S. ROCS' weapon may not be the best around, but fibreglass should be easy. MattTalk to me 16:04, February 21, 2013 (UTC) R.O.C.S. might be vulnerable to flippers, but a pair of small electric lifting forks attached to an equally slow robot isn't going to bother it. If it can't crush The Creature, it can certainly clamp, then pit it. CrashBash (talk) 16:46, February 21, 2013 (UTC) Another battle between two slow ones, but I back ROCS for its damage potential. The Creature won't be able to flip ROCS, and won't find a win here unless ROCS breaks down, which I doubt considering the speed of the battle. Either ROCS to crush in and find The Creature's weak spot or ROCS to win on a judges' decision. Datovidny (talk) 17:05, February 21, 2013 (UTC) R.O.C.S. to pierce the Creature repeatedly and immobilse the ugly robot. Sam (BAZINGA) 17:39, February 21, 2013 (UTC) R.O.C.S. has a srimech, it even held off Spawn Again pretty well, The Creature is no problem. ToastUltimatum 20:34, February 21, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: R.O.C.S. (5-0)

Darke Destroyer 2 vs Lightning Tracks

Darke Destroyer 2	Lightning Tracks
Votes for Darke Destroyer 2 I will confess, I am sorta judging Lightning Tracks based on its performance in Robotica instead of Robot Wars, but it frankly didn't look any more impressive than Darke Destroyer 2 did. DD2 could still push its opponents around and LT wasn't all that reliable from what I remember either. Wagglers or not, DD2 will win. CrashBash (talk) 16:49, February 21, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Lightning Tracks Lightning Tracks is truly an unknown quantity, but against wagglers unknown is an advantage. MattTalk to me 16:04, February 21, 2013 (UTC) Darke Destroyer 2 wasn't the most stable, i.e. it was a bit top-heavy. Whilst DD2 did have some push, it was still one wheel drive and it faced with a robot with tracks. Unless Lightning Tracks suffers a break-down, I'm backing it. Datovidny (talk) 17:09, February 21, 2013 (UTC) The tracked machine to ram Darke Destroyer down the pit. Sam (BAZINGA) 17:39, February 21, 2013 (UTC) Lightning Tracks, judging from its Robotica appearance, looked as if it had sufficient power to simply topple DD2. ManUCrazy (talk) 17:42, February 21, 2013 (UTC) Apparently Lightning Tracks has a lifting weapon, so it should manage to topple Darke Destroyer 2. ToastUltimatum 20:34, February 21, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: Lightning Tracks (5-1)

Ceros vs Twister (Dutch)

Ceros	Twister
Votes for Ceros Twister suffered badly at the hands of flippers. Ceros through. MattTalk to me 16:04, February 21, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Twister "Ceros actually lost to Twister in the qualifiers for Series 7." - Ceros' wikia entry. CrashBash (talk) 16:49, February 21, 2013 (UTC) Previous encounter aside, I'm not fully sold on Ceros from the reliability side of things, it almost broke down against Ming Dienasty, and was limping before flying out of the arena in the Heat Final, and here it's up against a spinner which didn't exactly look flimsy, and a spinner that would hit it if Ceros got anywhere near. Particularly due to the shape of Ceros' flipper, it would have to get right up close to Twister to flip, so would have to stand up to the spinning bar, which I don't think it would be able to do very well. Besides, Twister was invertible, and if it lands on its bar, I'm sure it could force itself down again. Datovidny (talk) 17:12, February 21, 2013 (UTC) Twister looks a bit too destructive for Ceros to handle. Invertability helps a lot too. ManUCrazy (talk) 17:19, February 21, 2013 (UTC) A repeat of its qualifer. Sam (BAZINGA) 17:39, February 21, 2013 (UTC) If I didn't know about that qualifier, I probably would have voted for Ceros, Twister has a high ground clearance, and it's a very fun shape to toss here, there, and everywhere. But if Twister won the qualifier, and it is invertible after all, I suppose it's got the upper hand on Ceros. ToastUltimatum 20:34, February 21, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: Twister (5-1)

Pika 3 vs Diotoir

Pika 3	Diotoir
Votes for Pika 3	Votes for Diotoir Could see Pika getting the upper hand, but on the flipside there's an awful lot for Diotoir to catch broadside. MattTalk to me 16:04, February 21, 2013 (UTC) I think Diotoir may well have the more efficient lifting weapon. Furthermore, I also suspect Pika's won't work properly upside down. CrashBash (talk) 16:50, February 21, 2013 (UTC) I concur, Diotoir can lift Pika from the side and just leave its scoop raised, so it'll be able to carry it around anywhere, i.e. the pit. Datovidny (talk) 17:13, February 21, 2013 (UTC) Diotoir's ability to take down rambots continues. ManUCrazy (talk) 17:17, February 21, 2013 (UTC) Pika 3 pitted by the equally crazy Diotoir. Sam (BAZINGA) 17:39, February 21, 2013 (UTC) I'm pretty indifferent here, the one who gets around the side of its opponent first will probably win. As I can't tell which robot that will be, I'll side with the majority. ToastUltimatum 20:34, February 21, 2013 (UTC)

X-Terminator 3 vs Bee-Capitator

X-Terminator 3	Bee-Capitator
Votes for X-Terminator 3 It'll be too painful to watch. MattTalk to me 16:04, February 21, 2013 (UTC) It's a no brainer. X-Terminator has the far superior weapon, and Bee-Capitator is so lightweight, it'll be easy to flip, most likely on the first shot. And if it does go over on the first shot, not even the (pathetically remote) possibility of its fur clogging X-Terminator's flywheel will save it. Also, a little nitpick...if we're claiming this version of X-Terminator to be X-Terminator 3, what are we considering to be X-Terminator 2? CrashBash (talk) 16:55, February 21, 2013 (UTC) We'll either see the quick thrust onto its back, or we'll watch Bee Capitator be ripped to shreds, cruelly. Datovidny (talk) 17:15, February 21, 2013 (UTC) Like Homer Simpson taking on Diederick Tatum. ManUCrazy (talk) 17:20, February 21, 2013 (UTC) Bee-Capitator out. Sam (BAZINGA) 17:39, February 21, 2013 (UTC) If this is after the events of Series 7, I expect X-Terminator will flip Bee-Capitator and then back off, maybe doing a little more damage to excite the audience.

Mantis vs Spin Doctor (Extreme Warriors)

Mantis	Spin Doctor
Votes for Mantis Not too sure, but I trust Mantis to grab and pit. MattTalk to me 16:04, February 21, 2013 (UTC) Spin Doctor didn't look that destructive or indeed that reliable...it broke down in both of its encounters against Probophobia. Mantis showed it was quite reliable and hard to hit properly, and its weapon was somewhat decent. CrashBash (talk) 16:56, February 21, 2013 (UTC) We saw Mantis vs Jabber, I imagine a similar story here, unless Spin Doctor was a lot more lively and destructive than it looked. Datovidny (talk) 17:16, February 21, 2013 (UTC) I don't need to vote on this fight really. Sam (BAZINGA) 17:39, February 21, 2013 (UTC) Spin Doctor looks better than Jabber, but I think it will meet a similar fate. ToastUltimatum 20:34, February 21, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Spin Doctor

Plunderbird 5 vs King B Powerworks

Plunderbird 5	King B Powerworks
Votes for Plunderbird 5	Votes for King B Powerworks Another fan favourite falls. King B had the more potent weapon, as well as a serious speed advantage. MattTalk to me 16:04, February 21, 2013 (UTC) Pity Plunderbird 5 has to fall early, but King B Powerworks has the more potent weapon (I.E. It works) and will probably deal with it like it did with Draven. Still, I get the feeling it won't be the last we see of Plunderbird...right? CrashBash (talk) 16:57, February 21, 2013 (UTC) For this competition, sadly, it is. MattTalk to me 17:34, February 21, 2013 (UTC) Huh? How come? I thought we were using multiple versions of the robots? CrashBash (talk) 17:39, February 21, 2013 (UTC) We do have multiple versions of certain robots, but only in cases where there is a significant design change, for example Ming. I think that Plunderbird unfortunately falls into a category where although Plunderbird 1 and 5 are significantly different, there is not sufficient difference between each new incarnation to warrant extra entries. MattTalk to me 17:13, February 23, 2013 (UTC) I think there's a pretty big difference between Plunderbird 4 and both Plunderbird 5 and Plunderstorm. I would have put those three in, myself, but I assume it's too late now. ToastUltimatum 22:56, February 25, 2013 (UTC) It pains me to knock out Plunderbird 5, but I'm glad to see King B go through, and that this set is over. The claw won't be able to grab King B at all, but King B can get hit Plunderbird 5, impaling the thin armour with its sharp tips on the lifter, giving it a damage advantage, I don't think Plunderbird 5 will let King B get away with the ol' Panic Attack routine, because it's too big and has a high ground clearance, but I can't see how Plunderbird 5 can make up its own points, as King B is just too slippery. Datovidny (talk) 17:22, February 21, 2013 (UTC) King B to pit Plunderbird 5, copying Panic Attack's signature attack. Sam (BAZINGA) 17:39, February 21, 2013 (UTC) I thought of voting the other way. Plunderbird 5 should be lower, after which King B Powerworks will be a lovely fit for the slicer dicer. Unfortunately though, if that does happen, King B Powerworks can flee after so long, and then play hard to catch for the whole match, landing attacks along the way. ToastUltimatum 20:34, February 21, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: King B Powerworks (5-0)

Milly-Ann Bug vs Manta

Milly-Ann Bug	Manta
Votes for Milly-Ann Bug	Votes for Manta It's hard not to want Milly to win, but it's far outclassed here. MattTalk to me 17:13, February 23, 2013 (UTC) I going to assume you put your statement in the wrong box. Manta will easily outclass it, there isn't much more that needs to be said. CrashBash (talk) 17:16, February 23, 2013 (UTC) How can Milly-Ann Bug win? Sam (BAZINGA) 17:37, February 23, 2013 (UTC) Manta will push and tear the poor insect. Then Sergeant Bash will torch her hair. ToastUltimatum 18:59, February 23, 2013 (UTC) While it initially seems quite one-sided, I'm not actually sure how Manta could perform a KO, nonetheless, it'll still be a walkover for the yank.

Shuriken vs The Piecemaker

Shuriken	The Piecemaker
Votes for Shuriken I reckon Shuriken probably has a significant weight advantage here, combined by improved speed, puts The Piecemaker as an insurmountable disadvantage. MattTalk to me 17:13, February 23, 2013 (UTC) I thought we were only including heavyweights? Oh well, whatever...both were not exactly great, but I suppose Shuriken should have an advantage...Piecemaker couldn't exactly do anything. CrashBash (talk) 17:17, February 23, 2013 (UTC) There are some inconsistencies here, when you have non-Heavyweights competing with Heavyweights. Just wait until you see poor Demolisher in action. MattTalk to me 17:19, February 23, 2013 (UTC) The throwing star named robot to immobilse The Piecemaker. Sam (BAZINGA) 17:37, February 23, 2013 (UTC) Not sure about Shuriken's offensive capabilities, but they should be enough to win this one. ToastUltimatum 18:59, February 23, 2013 (UTC) Not much more to say about this battle, but I am looking forward to seeing Demolisher now.

Storm 2 vs Kat 3

Storm 2	Kat 3
Votes for Storm 2 A fairly easy start for the robot that has to go into this competition as the one to beat. Simple slamming victory. MattTalk to me 17:13, February 23, 2013 (UTC) Well, this is laughably easily...but it'll be interesting to see how Storm 2 performs here. It'll be one of the robots I'll be keeping close tabs on, to see who, if any, can beat it....still, pity Kat 3 has to leave so early.CrashBash (talk) 17:19, February 23, 2013 (UTC) Kat 3 down the pit. Sam (BAZINGA) 17:37, February 23, 2013 (UTC) Kat 3 just can't catch a break in fantasy tournaments, it keeps getting stuck against a good robot in its first battle. One day... ToastUltimatum 18:59, February 23, 2013 (UTC) Not a laughable victory, I feel Kat 3 will be fairly difficult to have a controlled push on. Nevertheless, I feel Storm 2 will win this purely by whacking it into the walls until something breaks. Such a shame to see Kat 3 flop again, as Toast says, just you wait for the Audited Series 7...

Behemoth vs Meshuggah

Behemoth	Meshuggah
Votes for Behemoth Meshuggah's downfall comes in that it is small enough to wholly fit in that scoop. MattTalk to me 17:13, February 23, 2013 (UTC) Behemoth has a history with spinning discs, and I don't mean the bad sort. Granted, they were horizontal, not vertical, but Meshuggah is so unreliable it isn't even funny. CrashBash (talk) 17:20, February 23, 2013 (UTC) Meshuggah OotA. Sam (BAZINGA) 17:37, February 23, 2013 (UTC) Another competent machine falls, but Behemoth will be unstoppable here. The concave of Behemoth's scoop houses Meshuggah's weapon nicely. ToastUltimatum 18:59, February 23, 2013 (UTC) Well, since Meshuggah is so compact, it could well be tossed out of the arena by Behemoth. I'm guessing the Brit can stand the saw.

Mechadroid vs Spike (Extreme Warriors)

Mechadroid	Spike
Votes for Mechadroid	Votes for Spike I'll confess I don't know much about either, but I reckon the axe on Spike could puncture those exposed tyres. MattTalk to me 17:13, February 23, 2013 (UTC) Mechadroid was hardly impressive from what I saw of it. For a loanerbot, Spike was pretty competent. It should have the advantage. CrashBash (talk) 17:21, February 23, 2013 (UTC) The loanerbot to pierce the tires of Mechadriod. Sam (BAZINGA) 17:37, February 23, 2013 (UTC) This Spike seems alright. We should totally use the Spike from the MTV Pilot in this tournament. ToastUltimatum 19:07, February 23, 2013 (UTC) A low flat top with exposed wheels against an axe. If Mechadroid doesn't break down, it'll lose the judges' decision that will result. Datovidny (talk) 22:04, February 23, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: Spike (5-0)

Monad vs Scarab (Dutch)

Monad	Scarab
Votes for Monad As Scarab is a walker, I have to back the equally-heavy Monad to push and pit its Dutch foe. MattTalk to me 17:13, February 23, 2013 (UTC) Geesh, this is a travesty. We've got a robot that can hardly move under its own power against a robot that is quite possibly the most ill-equipped to actually fight in the Robot Wars arena I can possibly imagine. However, since it CAN actually move, I will give it the benefit of the doubt...although I wouldn't be surprised if it falls apart or even just breaks down. CrashBash (talk) 17:24, February 23, 2013 (UTC) It'll bounce around the arena but it'll win as Scarab will barely move. Sam (BAZINGA) 17:37, February 23, 2013 (UTC) Neither robot was in the least bit impressive but Monad certainly has much more speed than Scarab. It should win in a ramming match. --Headbanger14/The Hardcore Kid 00:30, February 24, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Scarab I'll go for a ridiculous upset, as Monad flips itself over charging at Scarab, with its speed, ground clearance and high centre of gravity. ManUCrazy (talk) 18:45, February 23, 2013 (UTC) Being legged, Scarab will be hard for Monad to push, which is all Monad can do. And it does that very poorly. Scarab was a shufflebot, IIRC, so it should be agile enough to win. I haven't watched Scarab's battle in over a year though. ToastUltimatum 19:07, February 23, 2013 (UTC) Despite the petrol engine, I concur that Monad had little in the way of pushing power. In fairness, this could be a dull stalemate, where Monad charges, gets stuck in the jaws and Scarab spends the remainder of the battle slowly pushing back on Monad to get the judges' decision, but to be honest Monad may well bust a gut and break down trying to push against it. Datovidny (talk) 22:06, February 23, 2013 (UTC) Scarab may have been slow, but it looked solid. It won't fall apart just from doing laps around the arena, and for that reason will win. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 00:39, February 24, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: Scarab (4-4) (2-1 Judge's Decision)

Scarab (UK) vs I Bot One Beta

Scarab	I Bot One Beta
Votes for Scarab I Bot does not look massively strong, but those pincers look like they could do some damage. MattTalk to me 17:13, February 23, 2013 (UTC) The german machine looks like it'd fit nicely in those pincers, IB1B down the pit. Sam (BAZINGA) 17:37, February 23, 2013 (UTC) Whilst I Bot One Beta was quicker, it only needs to be grabbed by those jaws once, and then Scarab will be able to get right into the innards of the German bot, it could then pierce further to immobilise it, or try and shove it into an arena hazard (less likely). Datovidny (talk) 22:08, February 23, 2013 (UTC) Not confident in IB1β's damage potential after it failed to do much in its matches. It's small enough to fit inside Scarab's pincers and I don't think it will win that pushing match. Should end via pit. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 00:46, February 24, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for I Bot One Beta Scarab's weapon may look more impressive, but in a battle of speed, it'll fall to I Bot's bars. I doubt Scarab will be able to use its pincers effectively, and I Bot will just keep getting around the sides and keep hitting and evading. Judges decision, takes the win. CrashBash (talk) 17:26, February 23, 2013 (UTC) I am extremely tempted to go with Scarab (and I might even still change my mind), but it comes down to whether I Bot One Beta will be trapped in the pincers and squeezed (with 2.5 tonnes, claim the team), or whether those small blades could at least knock something loose from inside Scarab, like the arena spikes did. ManUCrazy (talk) 18:35, February 23, 2013 (UTC) I Bot One Beta certainly looks the perfect robot to be grabbed, but if Scarab can't win the pushing battle, it's in trouble. Additionally, I Bot One Beta has the higher damage potential, so I'm going to support it. ToastUltimatum 19:07, February 23, 2013 (UTC)

Thunderpants vs Reactor 2

Thunderpants	Reactor 2
Votes for Thunderpants Reactor 2 was lucky in the sense that it was faced with two tiny twins in Gemini to flip around (which it barely managed), and a top heavy robot with exposed wheels (which it luckily caught on one wheel). Thunderpants won't be so easy to flip, it's too big, heavy and awkward for Reactor 2 to flip properly. Reactor 2 also only had a top speed of around 8mph, a speed that Thunderpants could exceed. Thunderpants' hammer wasn't exactly Thor's, but I feel it will win on a judges' decision by having more attacks in, attacks that would have more promise than a light lift from the tiny flipper. Datovidny (talk) 22:12, February 23, 2013 (UTC) Reactor 2 also has an axe, you know. CrashBash (talk) 22:17, February 23, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Reactor 2 Thunderpants was unlucky in the fact it couldn't take to the arena, so I won't count unreliability. I still think that Reactor probably has the advantage and will flip Thunderpants over. MattTalk to me 17:13, February 23, 2013 (UTC) As with Daisy, I'm going to have to side with the robot who I know actually works. Besides, I'd trust a flipper over a hammer any day, especially one like Reactor's. CrashBash (talk) 17:27, February 23, 2013 (UTC) Thunderpants on its side and out. Sam (BAZINGA) 17:37, February 23, 2013 (UTC) Reactor 2, the machine that keeps going and going, versus the robot that wouldn't even go in the first place. ManUCrazy (talk) 18:31, February 23, 2013 (UTC) I'm not sure if Thunderpants would be able to self-right. ToastUltimatum 19:07, February 23, 2013 (UTC)

Sting 2 vs The Brute

Sting 2	Brute
Votes for Sting 2	Votes for The Brute I think our American competitor can probably rip in to Sting's fairly flimsy shell with its drum. MattTalk to me 17:13, February 23, 2013 (UTC) Brute was persistent if nothing else. I can imagine it just bulldozing Sting around wherever it wants. Besides, its weapon will probably cause damage, unlike Sting's. CrashBash (talk) 17:28, February 23, 2013 (UTC) Sting out. Sam (BAZINGA) 17:37, February 23, 2013 (UTC) Brute prevailed over a fair few opponents, it must be good enough to beat a Series 3 robot with no wins. ToastUltimatum 19:07, February 23, 2013 (UTC) I don't think you'll be able to see the damage, but even so, Brute will win this on a judges' decision on Aggression and Damage, as Sting 2 should just about be alive by the end.

Herbinator vs Bulldog Breed

Herbinator	Bulldog Breed
Votes for Herbinator	Votes for Bulldog Breed Bulldog Breed will dominate this fight, no problem. MattTalk to me 17:13, February 23, 2013 (UTC) Herbinator couldn't even right itself. Let that sink in...CrashBash (talk) 17:29, February 23, 2013 (UTC) Herbinator to be overturned very quickly. Sam (BAZINGA) 17:37, February 23, 2013 (UTC) Tall boxes with poor flippers don;t cut it. Just ask Juggernot 2. ManUCrazy (talk) 17:59, February 23, 2013 (UTC) Herbinator looks... really ill-suited to battle. ToastUltimatum 19:07, February 23, 2013 (UTC) When I watched Herbinator's heat, I was also growing up watching the Herbie films, and I really wanted it to go through, but I soon realised that it wasn't particularly comparitively impressive against flippers, and against one such as Bulldog Breed, it'll be off its wheels in seconds. Datovidny (talk) 22:15, February 23, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: Bulldog Breed (6-0)

Ripper vs Rhino (Extreme 1)

Ripper	Rhino
Votes for Ripper One flip onto Rhino's back will settle this. MattTalk to me 18:03, February 25, 2013 (UTC) Well, this won't exactly be difficult...CrashBash (talk) 18:08, February 25, 2013 (UTC) Looks like Evolution, should suffer the same fate. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 18:24, February 25, 2013 (UTC) Rhino out of the arena. Sam (BAZINGA) 18:41, February 25, 2013 (UTC) Flipped, then down the trench. ToastUltimatum 22:53, February 25, 2013 (UTC) I liked Rhino, but this is no contest. ManUCrazy (talk) 01:35, February 26, 2013 (UTC) No objections. Datovidny (talk) 07:51, February 27, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Rhino
Winner: Ripper (7-0)

Aggrobot vs Tender Caress

Aggrobot	Tender Caress
Votes for Aggrobot Those jaws will be useless, but Aggrobot can still push and shove to victory. MattTalk to me 18:03, February 25, 2013 (UTC) Aggrobot could at least lift Tender Caress up, which will probably score heavily in an otherwise uninteresting battle. CrashBash (talk) 18:09, February 25, 2013 (UTC) Tender Caress out. Sam (BAZINGA) 18:41, February 25, 2013 (UTC) The ground clearance will be costly. If Aggrobot 3 could handle Splinter, it can manage Tender Caress. ToastUltimatum 22:53, February 25, 2013 (UTC) A simple move for Aggrobot to get underneath with the wedge and topple Tender Caress with its lifting arm. Datovidny (talk) 07:53, February 27, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Tender Caress
Winner: Aggrobot (5-0)

Joker vs Armadrillo

Joker	Armadrillo
Votes for Joker Another rather uninteresting battle. However, I do not suspect that Armadrillo is fast enough to do anything to Joker, least of all knock its link out...so I'll give, essentially, the American Velocirippa the benefit of the doubt. CrashBash (talk) 18:11, February 25, 2013 (UTC) Joker's flailing hooks were never all that effective but it still managed to look aggressive when it could. Armadrillo I found to be too slow and didn't really have much potential at all. I give it to Joker. --Headbanger14/The Hardcore Kid 21:31, February 25, 2013 (UTC) Niehter can push, neither can really cause damage, but Armadrillo looked too sluggish, and even got caught on the arena floor, so I'm backing Joker to win on a judges' decision on Style and Control. Datovidny (talk) 07:55, February 27, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Armadrillo Armadrillo seems to be a solid pusher, and Joker's 0-5 record does not seem mightily impressive to me. MattTalk to me 18:03, February 25, 2013 (UTC) Armadrillo seemed to be holding off Roobarb decently enough, and only went sluggish after S3 hit it. We've seen Joker take on robots with worse armour, and do nothing even when it gets numerous direct hits. Pushing should cut it. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 18:32, February 25, 2013 (UTC) The Joker out by having its link knocked off. Sam (BAZINGA) 18:41, February 25, 2013 (UTC) I considered not voting, seeing as I know little about either robot, but the arguments on this side seem convincing. ToastUltimatum 22:53, February 25, 2013 (UTC) Armadrillo looks like the robot with better weaponry and power. It should win this when something goes wrong with Joker. ManUCrazy (talk) 01:34, February 26, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: Armadrillo (5-3)

Spin Doctor (Series 6) vs Project Two: Hex'em

Spin Doctor	Project Two: Hex'em
Votes for Spin Doctor	Votes for Project Two: Hex'em Good, we can get rid of this Spin Doctor early. MattTalk to me 18:03, February 25, 2013 (UTC) For your standard flipper vs no srimech battle, look no further. CrashBash (talk) 18:12, February 25, 2013 (UTC) I don't think Project 2 will get very far, but it at least his this one, since Spin Doctor couldn't recover from even a slight push jab, or even running into the other robot itself. Flipper or no, P2's wedge should do it in. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 18:23, February 25, 2013 (UTC) The dutch machine to knock Spin Doctor out by tipping it over. Sam (BAZINGA) 18:41, February 25, 2013 (UTC) Project Two. Something the Spin Doctor team should consider. ToastUltimatum 22:53, February 25, 2013 (UTC) If a limping Panic Attack can flip Spin Doctor, Project 2 will have no bother. Datovidny (talk) 07:57, February 27, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: Project Two: Hex'em (6-0)

Robocow vs Weeliwako

Robocow	Weeliwako
Votes for Robocow I can see those lances keeping Weeliwako under control, where Robocow can then push Weeliwako about. Hardly exciting stuff, but it earns control points for Robocow, and nothing for Weeliwako. ToastUltimatum 22:53, February 25, 2013 (UTC) I'd back Weeliwako if it had a lot of force behind its whacks, but it doesn't, so I back Robocow to use its front forks to try and steer it about, almost like Evil Weevil vs Flip Flop Fly, only without the puncture. Datovidny (talk) 07:58, February 27, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Weeliwako A tough one, but I think that on Style and Control, Weeliwako has an edge. It'll take a judge's decision though. MattTalk to me 18:03, February 25, 2013 (UTC) Robocow was slow, and we didn't se much of its weapon, whereas Wheeliwacko had no weapon potentcy but was at least a fluid mover. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 18:13, February 25, 2013 (UTC) A relatively dull battle, again, but Weeliwako can do so much more than Robocow. CrashBash (talk) 18:14, February 25, 2013 (UTC) Robocow out. Sam (BAZINGA) 18:41, February 25, 2013 (UTC) Robocow would win on control, but any aggression is likely to come from Weeliwacko, given the lack of speed and power from Robocow. ManUCrazy (talk) 01:32, February 26, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: Weeliwako (5-2)

Mad Cow Bot vs Penetrator

Mad Cow Bot	Penetrator
Votes for Mad Cow Bot The trial showed that Penetrator could be shoved around fairly easily, so I'll go with that reasoning. MattTalk to me 18:03, February 25, 2013 (UTC) I can't see Penetrator winning, I'm afraid. Mad Cow Bot looked fairly good at pushing. CrashBash (talk) 18:16, February 25, 2013 (UTC) Penetrator out via being shreded by Mad Cow Bot's drum. Sam (BAZINGA) 18:41, February 25, 2013 (UTC) Penetrator's first battle won't be an especially good one for it. ToastUltimatum 22:53, February 25, 2013 (UTC) .......Yeah. Datovidny (talk) 07:59, February 27, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Penetrator
Winner: Mad Cow Bot (5-0)

Bash Gordon vs All Torque

Bash Gordon	All Torque
Votes for Bash Gordon While I don't see Bash Gordon doing much damage, the top of All Torque is nice and flat, so it can receive a hammering. All Torque has some nice tires, but Bash Gordon has the weight advantage, and newer tech (in theory), so while All Torque might be the better pusher, it won't be by enough to win the Judges' decision. ToastUltimatum 22:53, February 25, 2013 (UTC) If Bash Gordon is on form, then this could be an upset. It would have the speed to dodge away from All Torque's strikes, and then come in with the axe to pierce. Also, I can't help but feel that Bash Gordon has All Torque for power. Bash Gordon crashed out for dying down one side, I don't think All Torque has the same KO power as Cedric Slammer. Datovidny (talk) 08:02, February 27, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for All Torque Backing the elder machine, which was a solid pusher, even though the Series 3 incarnation got little opportunity to prove it. MattTalk to me 18:03, February 25, 2013 (UTC) Bash Gordon looks like it has a nice ground clearance for All Torque to get under and dominate. I hope All Torque does well, if nothing else due to its successors. CrashBash (talk) 18:21, February 25, 2013 (UTC) All Torque to bash Bash Gordon's lights out. Sam (BAZINGA) 18:41, February 25, 2013 (UTC) I'm assuming that All Torque could still outpush Matilda. Gordon had thin armour and was really big; should be suceptible to broadsiding. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 00:14, February 26, 2013 (UTC) Bash Gordon doesn't have the weaponry or armour to survive. ManUCrazy (talk) 01:31, February 26, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: All Torque (5-2)

Dreadnaut XP-1 vs Immortalis

Dreadnaut XP-1	Immortalis
Votes for Dreadnaut XP-1 What a dull battle this'll be, but Dreadnaut did step up slightly in Series 4, so I'll go for that over Immortalis. MattTalk to me 18:03, February 25, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Immortalis Immortalis should have the ground clearance advantage at the front, as well as the weight advantage, so it should be the superior robot for pushing. Without a baseplate, Immortalis will be very difficult for Dreadnaught to flip, even if it does somehow get underneath Immortalis. Immortalis can then use its own pushing power and weapons to win via pitting or a Judges' decision. ToastUltimatum 22:53, February 25, 2013 (UTC) I don't know the exact circumstances of Immortalis' breakdown, but its scoop looked the business. Neither robot was stellar mind you, but Dreadnaut's small frame and weight disadvantage should make it pretty easy for Immortalis to roll it onto its back. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 00:17, February 26, 2013 (UTC) Dreadnaut is no machine that can outlast a Team Death robot. It died for no reason in Series 3, even with the house robots attacking Trident. It'll come down to weaponry, and Immortalis wins it here. ManUCrazy (talk) 01:29, February 26, 2013 (UTC) I wonder how many people will vote against Immortalis JUST because it's a Team Death robot? Not a very interesting fight, neither can do anything to the other...I initially voted for Dreadnaut, but the arguments presented here are more convincing, so I'm changing my mind. End of day, reliability will be Dreadnaut's undoing, and it couldn't do much with those forklifts anyway CrashBash (talk) 18:27, February 25, 2013 (UTC) I back neither to survive, but Immortalis to be winning up until that point for having the lower scoop to push. Datovidny (talk) 08:03, February 27, 2013 (UTC) Immortalise to outlast Dreadnaut. Sam (BAZINGA) 09:55, March 01, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: Immortalis (6-1)

Elvis vs The Witch

Elvis	The Witch
Votes for Elvis From the dull to the bizarre. Elvis because I see nothing that the Witch can do to attack. MattTalk to me 18:03, February 25, 2013 (UTC) Gonna have to agree with Matt's logic here. CrashBash (talk) 18:28, February 25, 2013 (UTC) The Witch out via Elvis pitting it. Sam (BAZINGA) 18:41, February 25, 2013 (UTC) Elvis may well flip The Witch. ToastUltimatum 22:53, February 25, 2013 (UTC) Neither has KO potential, but Elvis can at least win on points for flicking its lifter at it and maybe putting in a slice or two of the saw. Datovidny (talk) 08:04, February 27, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for The Witch
Winner: Elvis (5-0)

Diabolus vs Indefatigable

Diabolus	Indefatigable
Votes for Diabolus Those wheels look potentially vulnerable to me. MattTalk to me 18:03, February 25, 2013 (UTC) I'm going to trust a spinning blade over a forklift any day, any robot. CrashBash (talk) 18:29, February 25, 2013 (UTC) Indefatigable out via having its wheels slashed. Sam (BAZINGA) 18:41, February 25, 2013 (UTC) Diabolous looked like it had a decent set of discs, and being invertible, Indefatigable won't be able to KO it. ToastUltimatum 22:53, February 25, 2013 (UTC) The problem with Indefatigable is that its weapon isn't really known for being fast. Plus it was quite a few cm off the gorund in the down position. Those skirts looked awfully fragile, held down by hinges and not bolts. Should be advantage Diabolus RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 14:57, February 28, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Indefatigable The armour covering the wheels came slightly out, which may make the difference and prevent the wheels from being severely buckled. On the flip side, Indefatigable I think is the faster robot, so could win a judges' decision by catching Diabolus side on and shoving it about. Datovidny (talk) 08:06, February 27, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: Diabolus (5-1)

Gravedigger vs Psychosprout

Gravedigger	Psychosprout
Votes for Gravedigger Psychosprout was inventive, but not a good machine. Gravedigger can win by using its wedge to control Psycho's movements. MattTalk to me 19:34, March 1, 2013 (UTC) All Gravedigger needs to do is ram Psychosprout and its won. CrashBash (talk) 20:20, March 1, 2013 (UTC) Easy win here for the burier of the dead. Sam (BAZINGA) 20:43, March 1, 2013 (UTC) I both would and wouldn't like to see Gravedigger get through the shell, but regardless, this'll be won after Gravedigger pushes Psychosprout down the pit. Datovidny (talk) 20:59, March 1, 2013 (UTC) I wonder if Psychosprout will fit in the pit... StalwartUK 21:01, March 1, 2013 (UTC) Fibreglass, might as well be paper maché, Gravedigger has an excellent. Granted, it will struggle to get a purchase on a robot shaped like Psychosprout, but at least it can move. ToastUltimatum 21:41, March 1, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Psychosprout
Winner: Gravedigger (6-0)

Anarchy vs Maverick

Anarchy	Maverick
Votes for Anarchy That scary paintwork is going to be peppered with holes. Either that or Mike Franklin will simply topple it over. MattTalk to me 19:34, March 1, 2013 (UTC) Anarchy can do just about anything to Maverick. The reverse is not true. CrashBash (talk) 20:21, March 1, 2013 (UTC) Maverick was not as good as Anarchy, it'll lose her by being flipped around. Sam (BAZINGA) 20:44, March 1, 2013 (UTC) No disrespect to a half-decent robot, but Maverick to be either flipped or bashed, take your pick. Datovidny (talk) 21:00, March 1, 2013 (UTC) This must be the first time in a long while I've voted for Anarchy. The flipper will score the KO. ToastUltimatum 21:41, March 1, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Maverick
Winner: Anarchy (5-0)

Tomahawk vs The Blob

Tomahawk	The Blob
Votes for Tomahawk Tomahawk was not mighty impressive, but the five years more development of robot combat has to give it the edge. MattTalk to me 19:34, March 1, 2013 (UTC) At least Tomahawk will look aggressive, and a single spike is not going to immobilise it. CrashBash (talk) 20:23, March 1, 2013 (UTC) The Blob splatted. Sam (BAZINGA) 20:44, March 1, 2013 (UTC) Both robots could probably go the distance, but Tomahawk will get the decision merely for looking the more potentially damaging with the axe. Datovidny (talk) 21:02, March 1, 2013 (UTC) Tomahawk's underrated, it's scored some serious damage at live events, even before it was upgraded. ToastUltimatum 21:41, March 1, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for The Blob
Winner: Tomahawk (5-0)

Ansgar 3 vs Millenium Bug

Ansgar 3	Millenium Bug
Votes for Ansgar 3 Millenium's wheels are made of scaffold pipe. Think about that for a minute. Scaffold pipe. MattTalk to me 19:34, March 1, 2013 (UTC) In this battle of shufflebot vs walkerbot, Ansgar to break off the Bug's legs...one by one. CrashBash (talk) 20:23, March 1, 2013 (UTC) Delegged bug. Sam (BAZINGA) 20:44, March 1, 2013 (UTC) I wish this could be less one-sided, in fact, I wish a few more of these battles could be less one-sided, but..... Datovidny (talk) 21:04, March 1, 2013 (UTC) Millenium Bug to crash. StalwartUK 21:09, March 1, 2013 (UTC) I see a bright future for Ansgar 3. Granted, I saw a bright future for Ansgar 3 in A Fantasy Audited War, and it was the first casualty of the whole project. ToastUltimatum 21:41, March 1, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Millenium Bug
Winner: Ansgar 3 (6-0)

Ramrombit vs V.I.P.E.R. 01

Ramrombit	V.I.P.E.R. 01
Votes for Ramrombit	Votes for V.I.P.E.R. 01 Even without paraffin, Ramrombit was not built to battle. Fight it completely VIPER's. MattTalk to me 19:34, March 1, 2013 (UTC) Agreed. CrashBash (talk) 20:25, March 1, 2013 (UTC) Ramrombit Toppled. Sam (BAZINGA) 20:46, March 1, 2013 (UTC) V.I.P.E.R. could push Ramrombit to the flame pit if Sergeant Bash (if he's in this battle) doesn't get at him first. Either way Ramrombit will end up in flames. StalwartUK 21:04, March 1, 2013 (UTC) With VIPER 01 geared down, this could go either way, but I see no reason to argue with the majority here. Datovidny (talk) 21:08, March 1, 2013 (UTC) "They hold them there with their metal knives, boil them for twenty of their minutes, then smashed them all to bits." Clearly, Ramrombit is the most primitive of people robots. Alright, V.I.P.E.R. 01 might not do that much damage, but it will win somehow. ToastUltimatum 21:41, March 1, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: V.I.P.E.R. 01 (6-0)

The Scrapper vs Recyclopse

The Scrapper	Recyclopse
Votes for The Scrapper I'd be tempted to go for Recyclopse...if it was a bit more reliable. We've seen in the past that even just simple knocks will dislodge its chain. True, we don't know exactly how reliable The Scrapper is, but I think if it can ram it hard enough, Recyclopse will perish. CrashBash (talk) 20:28, March 1, 2013 (UTC) A different Scrapper, a different fight outcome. Sam (BAZINGA) 20:46, March 1, 2013 (UTC) As much as Rex Garrod was an innovator and genius, his bot wasn't designed for Series 7 standards. That dome was bending and warping like crazy, and there's no doubt in my mind that a hit from scrapper's disc could seriously damage it. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 21:26, March 1, 2013 (UTC) The Scrapper's disc looked the business, and those recycled materials looked very flimsy. Mortis warped it just by pressing against it, a Series 7 flywheel will put loads of slashes in there. ToastUltimatum 21:41, March 1, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Recyclopse Different Scrapper, but surprisingly same result if you ask me. The front of Scrapper shows itself immediately as a potential place to put the tongue. MattTalk to me 19:34, March 1, 2013 (UTC) Well, the disc will struggle to get a proper purchase on the curved sides, and its broad sides make The Scrapper susceptible to being left on its side after being flipped. Recyclopse had the power behind its flipper, just ask Matilda, but it may not have the power to whack The Scrapper right over, so a simple prop onto its side sounds about right. Datovidny (talk) 21:11, March 1, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: The Scrapper (4-2)

The Hassocks Hog 2 vs The Gap

The Hassocks Hog 2	The Gap
Votes for The Hassocks Hog 2 I think the Hassocks probably has a good chance of getting round the back of The Gap and throwing it onto its back. MattTalk to me 19:34, March 1, 2013 (UTC) The Hassocks Hog 2 was more reliable and would be more capable of getting around to the side of The Gap and tip it over. Sam (BAZINGA) 20:48, March 1, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for The Gap I trust The Gap, both on weapon capability and reliability. CrashBash (talk) 20:29, March 1, 2013 (UTC) The Gap was just far too awkward to flip about, in shape and size. On the flip side, Hassocks Hog 2 can be flipped much easier, and I don't know if the flipper could flip it back onto its wheels, if it falls in the same manner that it did in Series 7, even if the flipper is working. Datovidny (talk) 21:13, March 1, 2013 (UTC) The Gap was enormous, flipping it over will be much easier said than done. Especially with Hassock's tiny blade that has a surface area of about an inch. I supect it will not be able to self right after being flipped a few times, or just get stuck sideways thanks to those stabilizing ears. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 21:30, March 1, 2013 (UTC) The Gap has a much more potent weapon while Hassocks Hog was a little too slow and its flipper too small. One good flip from The Gap should do it in. --Headbanger14/The Hardcore Kid 21:36, March 1, 2013 (UTC) The sides of The Gap seem low, and with its large sides, it would need to be pushed quite far after having been lifted to be overturned. The Gap can just lift The Hassocks Hog 2, and it will go over. ToastUltimatum 21:52, March 1, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: The Gap (5-2)

Corporal Punishment vs Vector of Armageddon

Corporal Punishment	Vector of Armageddon
Votes for Corporal Punishment Ah the dreaded brother vs brother battle. Adam Clark will have his hands tied driving both machines, but there's no doubt who will win. The weight factor here is seven for anyone interested. MattTalk to me 19:34, March 1, 2013 (UTC) I can just see people making some rediculous claim that VoA can win...I really just can. But I can't see it ending any other way. CrashBash (talk) 20:31, March 1, 2013 (UTC) Vector of Armageddon was too light to do anything here. Sam (BAZINGA) 20:49, March 1, 2013 (UTC) If Adam Clark loses this one I'll be surprised to say the least. StalwartUK 21:00, March 1, 2013 (UTC) That is brilliant Stalwart :) Sam (BAZINGA) 21:08, March 1, 2013 (UTC) I would back Vector of Armageddon for having the lower ground clearance, but instead I shall back the robot with more weight and the greater power behind it. Datovidny (talk) 21:15, March 1, 2013 (UTC) If Vector of Armageddon were a heavyweight, I'd probably back it, it looks to have a better ground clearance, but Corporal Punishment will have the pushing advantage, even if it doesn't get underneath its opponent. Adam Clark will probably park his inferior machine in front of the pit, and then use his superior machine to push it into the pit. Thank heck this battle won't be televised. ToastUltimatum 21:52, March 1, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Vector of Armageddon
Winner: Corporal Punishment (6-0)

Dominator vs Thermidor 2

Dominator	Thermidor 2
Votes for Dominator	Votes for Thermidor 2 Dominator had, to my knowledge, no srimech, nor hope of defending itself. MattTalk to me 19:34, March 1, 2013 (UTC) This is not the Dominator that was so successful in the future. Thermidor will have its way. CrashBash (talk) 20:32, March 1, 2013 (UTC) Dominator to be overturned, I hope it's successor ends up fight Thermidor 2. Sam (BAZINGA) 20:50, March 1, 2013 (UTC) FINALLY!!!!! THERMIDOR 2 WINS A WIKI TOURNAMENT BATTLE!!!!!! A simple flip over, a shove to the arena wall and a final thrust OotA, and it's all over. Datovidny (talk) 21:17, March 1, 2013 (UTC) I see an OotA coming. ToastUltimatum 21:52, March 1, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: Thermidor 2 (5-0)

Flipper vs Bluemax

Flipper	Bluemax
Votes for Flipper As the last battle of this batch, I'm going to go for the upset. Flipper was pretty nippy, and had the front wedge that could really make the most of that ground clearance. I don't see Bluemax knocking out Flipper, so I'm backing Flipper to win a fairly low scoring judges' decision. Datovidny (talk) 21:24, March 1, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Bluemax Bluemax may not be capable of doing much, but Flipper flat out just died. MattTalk to me 19:34, March 1, 2013 (UTC) Don't exactly trust either to do well, but again I agree. CrashBash (talk) 20:33, March 1, 2013 (UTC) Bluemax may have been light but it was the better looking machine and will win by pitting the dolphin based robot. Sam (BAZINGA) 20:51, March 1, 2013 (UTC) I don't think either fo thes bots will make it to round 3, but Bluemax at least has the speed that it could bump Flipper a bit and get away before Flipper returns fire. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 21:32, March 1, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: Bluemax (4-1)

Buzz vs Killertron

Buzz	Killertron
Votes for Buzz	Votes for Killertron I trust the axe, even if it wasn't as lethal as once it was. MattTalk to me 17:59, March 4, 2013 (UTC) Buzz to be axed to death, or it'll lose via judges decision. Sam (BAZINGA) 18:29, March 4, 2013 (UTC) How many more qualifiers are there, exactly? Anyway, I trust Killertron's weapon to show better aggression than Buzz's if nothing else. Killertron is quite big and bulky, and probably won't be easy to flip, especially sideways. CrashBash (talk) 18:37, March 4, 2013 (UTC) I'd say 96 qualifiers if there's 12 heats or 128 qualifiers if there's 16 heats, CrashBash. Sam (BAZINGA) 19:18, March 4, 2013 (UTC) If Killertron didn't have those poles on the side, I'd be tempted to vote the other way. However, it does, so Buzz will find it very hard to get the flip. ToastUltimatum 19:20, March 4, 2013 (UTC) An awkward shape to be flipped against an easy shape to axe. Little to no competition. Datovidny (talk) 07:47, March 5, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: Killertron (5-0)

Raging Reality vs Sgt. Meikle

Raging Reality	Sgt. Meikle
Votes for Raging Reality Raging Reality will not struggle to qualify. MattTalk to me 17:59, March 4, 2013 (UTC) Sgt. Meikle to go Oota. Sam (BAZINGA) 18:29, March 4, 2013 (UTC) A very powerful flipper vs an incredibly....laughable axe. You work it out. CrashBash (talk) 18:38, March 4, 2013 (UTC) Dismissed. ToastUltimatum 19:20, March 4, 2013 (UTC) OOTA. StalwartUK 20:03, March 4, 2013 (UTC) We could've seen the clash between these teams in Series 6, ah well. Raging Reality needs only one flip to finish this. Datovidny (talk) 07:48, March 5, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Sgt. Meikle
Winner: Raging Reality (6-0)

Tough As Nails vs The Mule

Tough As Nails	The Mule
Votes for Tough As Nails I don't think that the kicking power of The Mule will free it from TAN's grip. MattTalk to me 17:59, March 4, 2013 (UTC) Easy win here for TAN. Sam (BAZINGA) 18:30, March 4, 2013 (UTC) TAN can do all sorts to The Mule, but The Mule can't really do anything. It may be well engineered by Series 2 standards, but a small forklift and two bars that just flick out a few inches don't compare to a massive clamp. CrashBash (talk) 18:39, March 4, 2013 (UTC) Interesting match in concept, with the Mule having kicking legs on the sides TAN will want to grab, but ultimately, Tough As Nails has much more power behind it. ToastUltimatum 19:20, March 4, 2013 (UTC) Pit! Pit! Pit! StalwartUK 20:03, March 4, 2013 (UTC) The Mule was powerful, but Tough As Nails ran at a much greater voltage. I estimate The Mule will be pitted............eventually. Datovidny (talk) 07:49, March 5, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for The Mule
Winner: Tough as Nails (6-0)

Sonic vs Tiberius 3

Sonic	Tiberius 3
Votes for Sonic	Votes for Tiberius 3 I still think that those tough Barry wheels will be pierced by Tiberius. MattTalk to me 17:59, March 4, 2013 (UTC) Pierced tires I think Sonic will have at the end of the fight. Sam (BAZINGA) 18:30, March 4, 2013 (UTC) Tiberius will almost certainly have its way. I seem to recall Sonic occasionally wheelying, which won't help it...and those tyres look suspect. CrashBash (talk) 18:40, March 4, 2013 (UTC) Even if Tiberius 3 can't get a hold of Sonic, what is Sonic actually doing to win? ToastUltimatum 19:20, March 4, 2013 (UTC) Tiberius has better protection and lower ground clearance. Plus those exposed wheels of Sonic look like excellent targets for Tiberius to sink that crusher into. StalwartUK 20:16, March 4, 2013 (UTC) Tiberius potentially has the ability to puncture the tyres or merely hoist Sonic up with the claw and carry it over to the pit. However, due to its pointed wedge and Tiberius' low ground clearance, Sonic can't really do anything. Datovidny (talk) 07:50, March 5, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: Tiberius 3 (6-0)

Loco vs Basenji

Loco	Basenji
Votes for Loco	Votes for Basenji Loco can be toppled by Basenji in my opinion. MattTalk to me 17:59, March 4, 2013 (UTC) Loco toppled by the monkey named teams robot. Sam (BAZINGA) 18:31, March 4, 2013 (UTC) The weapons of both machines are not exactly spectacular, but Loco also had a very high ground clearance...Cassius didn't even need to use its flipper to overturn it. Basenji should be able to do just that. CrashBash (talk) 18:41, March 4, 2013 (UTC) My favourite American robot progresses for the above reasons. ToastUltimatum 19:20, March 4, 2013 (UTC) Loco can be flipped, but also Loco will really struggle to get a purchase at all on the tiny Basenji. Datovidny (talk) 07:51, March 5, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: Basenji (5-0)

Bondi-Titch vs Mobot

Bondi-Titch	Mobot
Votes for Bondi-Titch Neither were anything special, but in my opinion Bondi-Titch was a level up from Mobot. MattTalk to me 17:59, March 4, 2013 (UTC) Mobot hammered to death. Sam (BAZINGA) 18:32, March 4, 2013 (UTC) I don't even really know how Mobot's weapon is meant to work. Bondi-Titch will show much better aggression. CrashBash (talk) 18:42, March 4, 2013 (UTC) Mobot has so much armour, there's no way it can be made out of anything solid and still be within the weight limit. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 19:23, March 4, 2013 (UTC) Mobot to be bludgeoned to bits. StalwartUK 20:14, March 4, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Mobot Cannon Fodder, the team calls it, but I'm not so sure. The main thing for me is that Mobot only has to touch Bondi-Titch, while Bondi-Titch has to strike with the hammer. Mobot's armour, while aluminium, is pretty thick and should serve well enough, and Bondi-Titch's armour was fairly weak looking polycarbonate. Therefore, I edge it to Mobot on damage. ToastUltimatum 19:20, March 4, 2013 (UTC) In fairness, at the end, Mobot may have a dent or two from the hammer, but Bondi-Titch will have a few slices that would swing the decision. Datovidny (talk) 07:53, March 5, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: Bondi-Titch (5-2)

Close Enough vs Killer Carrot 2

Close Enough	Killer Carrot 2
Votes for Close Enough Close Enough on the grounds that Killer Carrot's flipper is too thin to flip it. MattTalk to me 17:59, March 4, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Killer Carrot 2 I think the carrot will be able to lift up Close Enough and push it around and down the pit. Sam (BAZINGA) 18:33, March 4, 2013 (UTC) I have to give it to the Carrot because Close Enough wasn't particularly fast, and its gas engine stalled out in both of its battles. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 18:39, March 4, 2013 (UTC) Reliability, thy name ist not Close Enough. That'll do it for the American machine. CrashBash (talk) 18:43, March 4, 2013 (UTC) Killer Carrot can win this through greater aggression. ManUCrazy (talk) 22:06, March 4, 2013 (UTC) The ground clearance is there, so Killer Carrot 2, even if it doesn't manage to flip it about, will still win the judges' decision by shoving it around the arena. Datovidny (talk) 07:54, March 5, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: Killer Carrot 2 (5-1)

Oblivion 2 vs Wowot

Oblivion 2	Wowot
Votes for Oblivion 2 Neither machine can go far, as both will most likely die the moment they get hit. But here's the question...who is likely to hit the other first? The answer is Oblivion, because its weapon works. Wowot's jaw is useless...I'm sorry, but it is. And a good hit with Oblivion's axe will silence it. CrashBash (talk) 18:44, March 4, 2013 (UTC) I'm sorry but I just can't take Wowot seriously. I mean what can it do with that... uhm... arm? At least Oblivion has an axe that should able to hit those delicate bits and cause something to fly off or something. StalwartUK 20:09, March 4, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Wowot Wowot is simply too complicated to go very far, but I think it has the measure of Oblivion 2. MattTalk to me 17:59, March 4, 2013 (UTC) Oblivion 2 to break down after a couple of hits from Wowot. Sam (BAZINGA) 18:34, March 4, 2013 (UTC) I would be on the other side, had Wowot not been up against a a flat boxy robot before. Once it presses down on Oblivion's top, Oblivion can't fire the axe, and Wowot controls the match. Plus the axe didn't look all that potent, for some reason it was a lot stronger when it was pulling back than when it was firing. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 19:06, March 4, 2013 (UTC) If it weren't for the idea of Wowot pressing down on Oblivion 2, I'd vote the other way. The claw looks a prime target for an axing, but apparently Wowot does more than one would think. ToastUltimatum 19:31, March 4, 2013 (UTC) Wowot's arm can press against the top of Oblivion, or if it could line up with the ground, clamp it. Oblviion's weapon wasn't imprressive. ManUCrazy (talk) 22:07, March 4, 2013 (UTC) We saw what Wowot could do t Lambsy before it died, so I can imagine Oblivion 2 would be as easy to haul around. Datovidny (talk) 07:55, March 5, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: Wowot (6-2)

Blade vs A-Kill

Blade	A-Kill
Votes for Blade None of A-Kill's weapons were any good; however Blade's pushing power was something to be envied. MattTalk to me 17:59, March 4, 2013 (UTC) A-Kill to be bashed by Blade untl it is dead. Sam (BAZINGA) 18:34, March 4, 2013 (UTC) I don't think you need a detailed answer. Even by S3 standards, Blade was a pretty decent robot, with exceptional armour and above average pushing power...A-Kill was pretty much laughable from start to finish. CrashBash (talk) 18:46, March 4, 2013 (UTC) Phew, my favourite robot of Series 3 safely through to the tournament. ToastUltimatum 19:31, March 4, 2013 (UTC) A-Kill looks like it'll fall apart any second. I think I've said enough. StalwartUK 21:52, March 4, 2013 (UTC) This will be a quite dull fight, ending in a stalemate, going in favour of Blade merely because it will cause the only damage of the battle, by knocking off A-Kill's wheel hubs. Datovidny (talk) 07:57, March 5, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for A-Kill
Winner: Blade (6-0)

Cygnus X-1 vs Rippa Raptor

Cygnus X-1	Rippa Raptor
Votes for Cygnus X-1 Cygnus had a semi competent flipper, and Rippa was top heavy, so it should be able to flip it for the win. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 18:37, March 4, 2013 (UTC) Between a semi-competent flipper and a semi-competent saw....yeah, not much of a contest, really. CrashBash (talk) 18:46, March 4, 2013 (UTC) I can't even tell what Rippa Raptor is by looking at it. But it apparently has an average saw, and we know Cygnus X-1 has pretty much impenetrable armour, so I don't see a bright future for... whatever it is. ToastUltimatum 19:31, March 4, 2013 (UTC) The rear half is two big slanted wheelchair wheels, and the front is a garlic bulb shaped cage that houses two small discs that use locks as falls. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 20:43, March 4, 2013 (UTC) Rippa Raptor really reached the final because Unibite knocked out Skullmania and itself, while Drillzilla concentrated on Conquering Clown and Red Virus. Cygnus X-1 is less cumbersome, and has the better weapon. Rippa Raptor to be tumbled onto its side. ManUCrazy (talk) 22:04, March 4, 2013 (UTC) That saw won't get much of a purchase on Cygnus, but the flipper would be enough to topple the top-heavy robot. Datovidny (talk) 07:59, March 5, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Rippa Raptor Rippa Raptor must have been fairly OK, as it reached the annihilator final, so I'll give it the nod. MattTalk to me 17:59, March 4, 2013 (UTC) Team Raptors machine to pit Cygnus X-1. Sam (BAZINGA) 18:35, March 4, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: Cygnus X-1 (5-2)

M2 vs Spike (UK)

M2	Spike
Votes for M2 So easy that Spike will barely know what hit it. MattTalk to me 20:27, March 6, 2013 (UTC) No contest. CrashBash (talk) 21:05, March 6, 2013 (UTC) Spike out of the arena. Sam (BAZINGA) 21:10, March 6, 2013 (UTC) M2 won't be crashing out just yet. ToastUltimatum 21:33, March 6, 2013 (UTC) Another flipperbot easily through. StalwartUK 21:42, March 6, 2013 (UTC) A shame to see robots that wouldn't ordinarily be at the top of our minds, and then we think it could do something, but then it gets put up against M2. Datovidny (talk) 09:32, March 7, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Spike
Winner: M2 (6-0)

Rhino vs Chopper

Rhino	Chopper
Votes for Rhino Both robots that faced Storm 2, but the difference is that Chopper immediately capitulated. I think that Rhino will flip Chopper over. MattTalk to me 20:27, March 6, 2013 (UTC) Rhino had the more potent weapon...not saying much all things considering, but it was a lot more effective, and should flip Chopper...or at least lift it up. Chopper would probably break. CrashBash (talk) 21:07, March 6, 2013 (UTC) Chopper to attempt to chop Rhino only for Rhino to pit Chopper. Sam (BAZINGA) 21:11, March 6, 2013 (UTC) I like Chopper, but I agree with the whole flip-over idea, Rhino's spiked flipper seems ideal for getting under Chopper's blade and sides. Chopper was also one of the worst-driven robots in the history of the show. ToastUltimatum 21:33, March 6, 2013 (UTC) A flip-over KO perhaps, but the actual toppling may take a while. Datovidny (talk) 09:32, March 7, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Chopper
Winner: Rhino (5-0)

Axe-Awe vs Forklift's Revenge

Axe-Awe	Forklift's Revenge
Votes for Axe-Awe Axe Awe has the better weaponry, faster speed, and more hope. MattTalk to me 20:27, March 6, 2013 (UTC) An easy victory for the more conventional weapon set-up. CrashBash (talk) 21:08, March 6, 2013 (UTC) Axe Awe has a easy fight here, Forklift's Revenge on its back almost immediately. Sam (BAZINGA) 21:11, March 6, 2013 (UTC) Axe Awe will taunt Forklift's Revenge by axing it a bunch, before finally deciding to flip it. ToastUltimatum 21:33, March 6, 2013 (UTC) Agreeing with Toast really. Datovidny (talk) 09:33, March 7, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Forklift's Revenge
Winner: Axe Awe (5-0)

Gnasher vs Blue

Gnasher	Blue
Votes for Gnasher Ending in a stalemate, but whilst Blue had some weaponry that might cause a couple of scars, I back Gnasher for the push. Datovidny (talk) 09:34, March 7, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Blue Gnasher had no offensive potential of note. Blue will win on aggression. MattTalk to me 20:27, March 6, 2013 (UTC) A disc is going to show better aggression than a tiny pair of pincers, and Blue was quite reliable considering its frail armour. CrashBash (talk) 21:08, March 6, 2013 (UTC) Blue not to be feeling blue by the end of the fight where the Gnasher to have its wheels shredded. Sam (BAZINGA) 21:13, March 6, 2013 (UTC) I like Blue. "This is Blue, Blue and Blue, and this is their robot Blue" had me in stitches. And the robot itself has some offensive potential, which Gnasher has less of. ToastUltimatum 21:33, March 6, 2013 (UTC) Gnasher to be smashed to a thousand pieces. StalwartUK 21:44, March 6, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: Blue (5-1)

Barber-Ous 2'n a Bit vs Schumey Too

Barber-Ous 2'n a Bit	Schumey Too
Votes for Barber-Ous 2'n a Bit This could be very, very painful for Schumey. MattTalk to me 20:27, March 6, 2013 (UTC) Interesting arguments on the other side, and they almost had me. But ultimately, one hit to the side of Schumey Too, and it's going to be flipped straight over. ToastUltimatum 21:33, March 6, 2013 (UTC) Schumey to be smashed to "bits". StalwartUK 21:39, March 6, 2013 (UTC) Barberous had some unlucky breakdowns, but this won't be one, Schumey was fragile and far from spinner proof, it should be flipped before Barberous breaks down, and lose a judges' decision if it happens simultaneously. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 22:18, March 6, 2013 (UTC) Barber-Ous won't suddenly break down, and even if it does, Schumey Too will have taken so many strikes prior that the latter will have been immobilised first. Datovidny (talk) 09:36, March 7, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Schumey Too Actually, I'm going to vote for Schumey...partly because if it charges head on, it should avoid getting flipped, and partly because I don't trust Barber-ous' reliability. CrashBash (talk) 21:11, March 6, 2013 (UTC) Barber-Ous 2'n a Bit to hit Schumey Too a couple of times before breaking down and giving the fight to Schumey Too. Sam (BAZINGA) 21:14, March 6, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: Barber-Ous 2'n a Bit (5-2)

T.R.A.C.I.E. vs Raizer Blade

T.R.A.C.I.E.	Raizer Blade
Votes for T.R.A.C.I.E. I disagree. T.R.A.C.I.E. may have been lucky in the trials, but it looked fine in the arena. It was capable of pushing and to be fair, Raizer Blade's weapon wasn't THAT effective. A simple bulldozing around until the pitting at the end. CrashBash (talk) 21:12, March 6, 2013 (UTC) The flipper I doubt is fixed in a way that it could effectively flip TRACIE, whereas the polycarb protecting the wheels could be penetrated by a certain spear. Datovidny (talk) 09:37, March 7, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Raizer Blade Raizer Blade may not be top notch, but it's better than the middleweight that was, in my opinion, fortunate to reach the final. MattTalk to me 20:27, March 6, 2013 (UTC) T.R.A.C.I.E. to be tipped over repeated times throughout the fight and will lose to Raizer Blade. Sam (BAZINGA) 21:15, March 6, 2013 (UTC) Not sure what TRACIE can do to Raizer Blade. Probably be shoved around or something. StalwartUK 21:41, March 6, 2013 (UTC) Raizer's weapon was pretty bad, but the wedge was all right, and the massive weight advantage can't be ignored. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 22:16, March 6, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: Raizer Blade (4-2)

Haardvark vs Rat

Haardvark	Rat
Votes for Haardvark Rat is an odd shape, and doesn't have much in the way of attack. I think Haardvark will saw through the wheels for the win. MattTalk to me 20:27, March 6, 2013 (UTC) In terms of power, Rat wasn't an excellent flipper. It was a decent flipper, but not brilliant. Probably just about enough to flip Haardvark. Only problem is, it seems to have an awful wedge. The blade that Haardvark used in Series 3 may not have been the most damaging, but Rat had some pretty weak armour, and I can see Haardvark evading the flip and scoring enough damage points to win. ToastUltimatum 21:45, March 6, 2013 (UTC) The pointed wedge does it for me, Haardvark to get lucky and win a judges' decision on damage, despite suffering a few minor lifts. Datovidny (talk) 09:39, March 7, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Rat Rat had a very good flipper from what little I saw of it, and Haardvark did not have a very good saw...also, no srimech. Nuff said. CrashBash (talk) 21:13, March 6, 2013 (UTC) Rat to tip Haardvark on it side. Sam (BAZINGA) 21:16, March 6, 2013 (UTC) I don't think that disc of Haardvark could do much damage and could very well shatter. One lucky flip from Rat and it's game over for Haardvark. StalwartUK 21:50, March 6, 2013 (UTC) The blade of Haardvark was completely useless, and Rat looked to be a decent pusher. I'll predict it getting the killer flip in to win the battle. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 22:16, March 6, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: Rat (4-3)

Spam vs Prizephita Mach 2

Spam	Prizephita Mach 2
Votes for Spam	Votes for Prizephita Mach 2 Two robots of completely different classes here, no problem. MattTalk to me 20:27, March 6, 2013 (UTC) Not much of a contest, considering Spam can't actually damage Prizephita...CrashBash (talk) 21:14, March 6, 2013 (UTC) Spam pitted. Sam (BAZINGA) 21:16, March 6, 2013 (UTC) I reckon I could think of a way for Spam to win, but the other outcome is more likely. I think half of the time, Spam will be too far up Prizephita for its flipper to work effectively, but it should still get enough decent flips, before leading up to an eventual pitting. ToastUltimatum 21:45, March 6, 2013 (UTC) Unsurprisingly the one with the flipper wins easily. StalwartUK 21:47, March 6, 2013 (UTC) No KO here, but Spam to get very little in the way of points for the judges' decision. Datovidny (talk) 09:40, March 7, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: Prizephita Mach 2 (6-0)

Shredder Evolution vs Sabre Tooth

Shredder Evolution	Sabre Tooth
Votes for Shredder Evolution A firm discing is on the cards here. MattTalk to me 20:27, March 6, 2013 (UTC) I think the champion of the spinners will be keeping his crown here. Not much Sabre-Tooth can do, all things considering. Speed alone won't help it. CrashBash (talk) 21:15, March 6, 2013 (UTC) Shredder Evolution to shred Sabre Tooth. Sam (BAZINGA) 21:17, March 6, 2013 (UTC) Shredder Evolution is the one with damage potential, so I have to go with it. What good is Sabre Tooth without its blade if it's an awful shape for pushing? ToastUltimatum 21:45, March 6, 2013 (UTC) This could last longer than people think, but in the end, it's Shredder for me. Datovidny (talk) 09:41, March 7, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Sabre Tooth
Winner: Shredder Evolution (5-0)

Fatal Traction vs Inshredable

Fatal Traction	Inshredable
Votes for Fatal Traction I'm going for Fatal Traction myself, it strikes me as a superior pushing robot, and with little damage from either side, that should do it. ToastUltimatum 21:45, March 6, 2013 (UTC) Inshredable didn't have a lot to give in terms of push, and the disc looks like it'll struggle to get a purchase. Datovidny (talk) 09:42, March 7, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Inshredable Save perhaps 13 Black, I'd always trust one flywheel over 'several' MattTalk to me 20:27, March 6, 2013 (UTC) Inshredable's disc at least looked decent...Fatal Traction's did not. Also, consider this...Inshredable's weapon is similar to Cedric Slammer's, and we all know what that did. CrashBash (talk) 21:16, March 6, 2013 (UTC) Fatal Traction to be shredded by Inshredable's disc. Sam (BAZINGA) 21:19, March 6, 2013 (UTC) Fatal Traction fell apart fairly easily agaist Cerdic. Inshredable may not be as powerful, but has a good range and should be able to do some damage. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 22:03, March 6, 2013 (UTC) No arguments here. Fatal Traction looks far more exposed. Those wheels look rather fragile don't they. StalwartUK 22:29, March 7, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: Inshredable (5-2)

Triterobot vs Mr Nasty

Triterobot	Mr Nasty
Votes for Triterobot	Votes for Mr Nasty Mr Nasty will simply shove Triterobot around the arena, here there and everywhere. One to watch. MattTalk to me 09:50, March 9, 2013 (UTC) Triterobot to be shunted around the arena and down the pit. Sam (BAZINGA) 09:53, March 9, 2013 (UTC) Mr Nasty wasn't a bad rammer by any means. Triterobot has a lot of exposed sides, and isn't really that ideal for pushing. CrashBash (talk) 09:58, March 9, 2013 (UTC) Triterobot won't be able to get a purchase on Mr. Nasty, whereas the latter could probably knock it onto one of its ends. Datovidny (talk) 10:17, March 9, 2013 (UTC) Mr. Nasty was a decent rammer, Triterobot was just cannon fodder. ManUCrazy (talk) 12:25, March 9, 2013 (UTC) IIRC, Evil Weevil basically had to get underneath Triterobot to win. ToastUltimatum 14:39, March 9, 2013 (UTC) This shouldn't be too hard for Mr Nasty. StalwartUK 05:41, March 10, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: Mr Nasty (7-0)

Enderbot vs Ron

Enderbot	Ron
Votes for Enderbot Ron is lighter than Enderbot meaning that Enderbot can push around and axe it. Sam (BAZINGA) 09:54, March 9, 2013 (UTC) Enderbot is heavier and has far better weaponary. I don't really think anything more needs to be said. CrashBash (talk) 09:59, March 9, 2013 (UTC) If Ron is off its wheels, it's easy to push. Since Ron's up against a wedge-shaped robot, it could well be knocked about. Datovidny (talk) 10:18, March 9, 2013 (UTC) Ron won't be able ot make up for its size with aggression in the manner that Brute did. Enderbot has the better weaponry, and won't be shunted easily. ManUCrazy (talk) 12:28, March 9, 2013 (UTC) Voting for Enderbot because I don't know what Ron can do here; probably not outpush, certainly not out-weapon. It should be alive but pepperpotted at the end and lose the decision. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 17:07, March 9, 2013 (UTC) I don't see how this can go any other way. StalwartUK 05:49, March 10, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Ron I'll go for the upset I think. Despite what the Sumo trial showed, I would still say that Ron is a pretty solid pusher, so it will pit Enderbot. MattTalk to me 09:50, March 9, 2013 (UTC) Enderbot has to kick back in order to use its weapon, leaving a huge ground clearance at the front. Ron can expose this. Not only that, but with Ron underneath Enderbot, Enderbot can't use its weapon, so it's completely useless. Ron was never going to push a scoop-equipped Shunt, however, I can see it pushing the two-wheeled Enderbot while it is underneath. ToastUltimatum 14:39, March 9, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: Enderbot (6-2)

Widow's Revenge vs Wolverine

Widow's Revenge	Wolverine
Votes for Widow's Revenge	Votes for Wolverine Wolverine to batter Widow's Revenge around. MattTalk to me 09:50, March 9, 2013 (UTC) Widow's Revenge will be wanting revenge after Wolverine batters her senseless. Sam (BAZINGA) 09:56, March 9, 2013 (UTC) It's a pity, but Wolverine had the better weapon...I saw it at a live event flip Dominator quite easily, so it should flip Widow's Revenge...or at least lift it up enough with no retaliation. CrashBash (talk) 10:00, March 9, 2013 (UTC) Wolverine wasn't a bad pusher, and that plough will help it along the way. Wolverine to win a judges' decision, spending the whole battle pushing around Widow's Revenge. Datovidny (talk) 10:19, March 9, 2013 (UTC) Widow's Revenge can probably delay the inevitable for a good long while, but not for five minutes. ToastUltimatum 14:39, March 9, 2013 (UTC) Team Razer certainly gave the Widow's Revenge team some duff advice for sure. StalwartUK 05:43, March 10, 2013 (UTC)

Backstabber vs Mechaniac

Backstabber	Mechaniac
Votes for Backstabber	Votes for Mechaniac A shame to see one of the two robots that fought in the first fight I ever watched go out, but Mechaniac will simply topple the top-heavy Backstabber over. MattTalk to me 09:50, March 9, 2013 (UTC) Backstabber toppled. Sam (BAZINGA) 09:56, March 9, 2013 (UTC) Flipper + No srimech = Obvious. Obvious + Top-heavy = Even more so CrashBash (talk) 10:01, March 9, 2013 (UTC) Well, .................yeah. Datovidny (talk) 10:20, March 9, 2013 (UTC) One flip, no OotA.

Panic Attack vs Mauler

Panic Attack	Mauler
Votes for Panic Attack Panic Attack is simply too small for the Mauler's hammers, so that won't be a factor. Either a drag to the pit, or a toppling. I apologise for my earlier reasoning RA2, for some reason I had the later Mauler in my head. I will however stick by my guns, because I have faith in Panic Attack's ability to take a beating. I still maintain that it will be able to get underneath Mauler, seeing as Youtube shows both Steel Reign and Jay Leno's Chinkilla were able to do it but I realise now it will not be able to topple the US Machine. Instead, I think repeated pressure from PA will cause Mauler's weapon to break (again see Youtube), and score a victory. MattTalk to me 17:49, March 9, 2013 (UTC) No worries everyone's entitled to their opinion, and there's a chaotic factor for any matchup that prevents us from being 100% certain; dominator vs Bigger Brother for instance, I bet anything we'd give it unanimously to Bigger Brother if that S6 semifinal battle hadn't happened. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 17:53, March 9, 2013 (UTC) Just about everyone on the official Robot Wars forum thought Bigger Brother would win. I should know, I was there. CrashBash (talk) 17:56, March 9, 2013 (UTC) You know something, I would have voted for Dominator 2 regardless. I would have thought that Dominator 2 was too big for a little robot like Bigger Brother to handle, and we know Bigger Brother had less armour on top, so it could have more on the sides. Kat 3 went straight through it. ToastUltimatum 18:25, March 9, 2013 (UTC) Mauler pitted. Sam (BAZINGA) 09:57, March 9, 2013 (UTC) Whilst I will agree Mauler is destructive, and whilst it was able to cause significant damage to Nightmare and Killerhurtz (since it was that version), I think Panic Attack is a bit too low for anything more than a glancing blow, and considering it stood up fairly well, externally at any rate, to Disc-O-Inferno, this should be an easy pitting for Panic Attack. Also, unlike Disc-O, I do not think Mauler is designed to wreck havoc on a robot's interior, which was partly why Panic Attack did suffer at its hands (of course, having Steel Avenger add to its problems with little time in between matches to fix didn't help). CrashBash (talk) 10:04, March 9, 2013 (UTC) Agreeing with CB on Panic Attack's way of staying intact, but also it has the forks to perform a simple lift, and then go on to pit Mauler or just flick it over. Datovidny (talk) 10:22, March 9, 2013 (UTC) I'm on this side as well,, though I assume that the Series 5/Extreme 2 version of PA will be used. ManUCrazy (talk) 11:53, March 9, 2013 (UTC) Panic Attack would probably do best here if it was the version pictured, the Series 5 and 7 machine was pretty chunky, so won't come out without damage. Ultimately though, Panic Attack's forks can slip underneath the weaponry, and control Mauler. ToastUltimatum 14:39, March 9, 2013 (UTC) Panic Attack should be low enough to avoid the worst of Mauler's attacks and get right under them and then drag them to wherever they want them. StalwartUK 05:46, March 10, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Mauler Now hold on, Mauler's gyroscopic forces are HUGE, like so much so that they'd prevent Panic Attack from getting a lift. And I highly doubt that any version of Panic Attack is low enough to avoid those chisels, except maybe Panic Attack Gold. Mauler will fling it around like a ragdoll before it even has a chance to try and lift it. The original full body spinner to destroy Panic Attack. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 16:57, March 9, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: Panic Attack (7-1)

Barbaric Response vs Supernova

Barbaric Response	Supernova
Votes for Barbaric Response Barbaric Response had good armour, and I'm backing it because I feel it won't sustain any more than just some superficial damage. The flipper was made of tough stuff, and the robot was twice as fast as its opponent, so shouldn't have much trouble with facing the right way all the time. Barbaric Response may be charged a few times, but it will keep flipping and win a tight judges' decision. Datovidny (talk) 10:24, March 9, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Supernova Supernova will tear Barbaric Response up. MattTalk to me 09:50, March 9, 2013 (UTC) Supernova to tear up its opponent. Sam (BAZINGA) 09:57, March 9, 2013 (UTC) Barbaric Response isn't a bad robot, but it just doesn't seem to take hard knocks very well...and Supernova is exactly that kind of robot. Do the maths? CrashBash (talk) 10:05, March 9, 2013 (UTC) This would be a great fight in real life. Supernova has the edge, given its invertibility, and at times amazing power. Barbaric Response, won't quite be able to handle it. ManUCrazy (talk) 12:22, March 9, 2013 (UTC) Sadly, Barbaric Response's flipper blade was quite thin, and with Supernova rebounding away all the time, Barbaric Response has a minimal lack of opportunities. ToastUltimatum 14:39, March 9, 2013 (UTC) Ouch. I think enough's been said. StalwartUK 23:29, March 9, 2013 (UTC)
Winner: Supernova (6-1)

Flip Flop Fly vs Prometheus (US)

Flip Flop Fly	Prometheus
Votes for Flip Flop Fly I'm pretty sure Prometheus is going to conk out before it can do anything to Flip Flop Fly. The axlebot probably isn't ideal for pushing, and besides, I'm not even sure if Prometheus can drive in reverse. It's too much trouble to put it through...CrashBash (talk) 10:07, March 9, 2013 (UTC) While it isn't a reliable premise to say that a robot will just konk out, I agree that it could well happen with Prometheus. Datovidny (talk) 10:25, March 9, 2013 (UTC) Flip Flop Fly's ground clearance is so big, it can just drive away when being pushed. Then it just has to wait for the breakdown. ToastUltimatum 14:39, March 9, 2013 (UTC) I don't normally vote for a robot based on a breakdown, but Prometheus' gas engine was quite unreliable, and its control was questionable against Weld-Dor, too fast for tis own good. Perhapsthe second robot to drive into the pit against FlipFlop Fly? RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 16:53, March 9, 2013 (UTC) Prometheus will probably go out of control and then break down before it can do anything. Flip Flop Fly to win on the virtue of still working. StalwartUK 23:20, March 9, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Prometheus Prometheus had an IC engine, so provided it doesn't stall, it will have ten times the pushing power of FFF. Flip Flop in the pit. MattTalk to me 09:50, March 9, 2013 (UTC) Flip Flop Fly pitted. Sam (BAZINGA) 09:58, March 9, 2013 (UTC) Two poor machines here, but Flip Flop Fly seriously lacked in aggression compared to most axlebots, while Prometheus looked like it could ram. Prometheus will probably pit its opponent, so long as it doesn't break down. ManUCrazy (talk) 12:05, March 9, 2013 (UTC) Flip Flop Fly was never that impressive so unless Prometheus' engine stalls out on it, it shouldn't have much problem beating it. --Headbanger14/The Hardcore Kid 22:12, March 9, 2013 (UTC)

CrashBash (talk) 10:07, March 9, 2013 (UTC) If Roadblock can topple Killertron, Crippler will be no problem. Come on Cornwall! Datovidny (talk) 10:26, March 9, 2013 (UTC) Crippler should land a few blows, but will topple, given time. ToastUltimatum 14:39, March 9, 2013 (UTC) This will be over quick.

Mortis vs Maximill

Mortis	Maximill
Votes for Mortis Mortis will batter the somewhat flimsy shell of Maximill. MattTalk to me 09:50, March 9, 2013 (UTC) Mortis to batter the dutch robot. Sam (BAZINGA) 09:59, March 9, 2013 (UTC) This is not going to end well for Maximill. At all. Period. End quote. CrashBash (talk) 10:08, March 9, 2013 (UTC) Battered to oblivion. Datovidny (talk) 10:27, March 9, 2013 (UTC) I don't think this version of Maximill or the Dutch Wars equivalent would stand any sort of chance against Mortis. ToastUltimatum 14:39, March 9, 2013 (UTC) Heavy armour, better weapons. This will be another quickie. StalwartUK 23:28, March 9, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Maximill

Sam (BAZINGA) 09:59, March 9, 2013 (UTC) I'm not convinced on an OOTA, but I'm positive Wheely Big Cheese only needs one flip. CrashBash (talk) 10:09, March 9, 2013 (UTC) To be honest, a few hard flips might immobilise Malice anyway. Datovidny (talk) 10:28, March 9, 2013 (UTC) Wheely Big Cheese will probably spend the opening moments toying with Malice, as it did with Wolverine. Then in a flash, over it goes. ManUCrazy (talk) 12:01, March 9, 2013 (UTC) Malice to get... caught in the drop zone? ToastUltimatum 14:39, March 9, 2013 (UTC) Only question here will be how far WBC throws Malice. Even from the middle of the Arena it shouldn't be hard to toss them out of it. StalwartUK 23:26, March 9, 2013 (UTC)

Tip-Top vs Mousetrap 2

Tip-Top	Mousetrap 2
Votes for Tip-Top Tip-Top should be able of causing some real dents in Mousetrap's armour, whereas I don't see Mousetrap causing anything significant. MattTalk to me 11:45, March 11, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Mousetrap 2 The more you learn about Tip-Top, the more it buries itself. If this were a regular spinner that looked exactly like Tip Top, then yes, it would go the other way. But we know that Tip-Top has a petrol engine, and has to restart that big heavy disc whenever it wants to move. Moustetrap will take one glancing blow, and then got to town on Tip-Top before it can get going again. Too darn creative for its own good. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 13:32, March 11, 2013 (UTC) Mousetrap to push Tip-Top from the back down the pit. Sam (BAZINGA) 14:24, March 11, 2013 (UTC) Mousetrap is certainly the better of the two here. Once they have Tip-Top in that trap of theirs that disc will be unable to do anything and they can be shoved wherever Mousetrap wants them. StalwartUK 14:56, March 11, 2013 (UTC) Yeah, I agree with RA2 here. Mousetrap has the edge on mobility, speed, control and everything else except weaponry, for the one attack. ManUCrazy (talk) 15:04, March 11, 2013 (UTC) Tip-Top's weapon looked good, but as well as needing to spin the weapon to actually move, it's going to struggle to hit Mousetrap unless it enters the arena upside down. Mousetrap to pit Tip-Top. MassiveDestruction49 (talk) 15:06, March 11 2013 (UTC) Mousetrap 2 is too low for Tip-Top to get a proper purchase. A similar bout to that of Little Fly if you ask me. Datovidny (talk) 15:16, March 11, 2013 (UTC) Once Mousetrap lands one blow on Tip-Top, it can do what it likes. CrashBash (talk) 17:37, March 11, 2013 (UTC) Mousetrap 2 kept moving after that whole battle with S3, it should be able to handle Tip-Top. ToastUltimatum 19:25, March 11, 2013 (UTC)

MattTalk to me 11:45, March 11, 2013 (UTC) Groundhog to be toppled after defying Cassius 2's flipper for a while. Sam (BAZINGA) 14:25, March 11, 2013 (UTC) Well Groundhog's certainly no Firestorm for sure. One flip and it'll be all over. StalwartUK 14:36, March 11, 2013 (UTC) Team Firestorm meets the sequel to their inspiration. Cassius 2 will launch Groundhog across the arena and onto its back. MassiveDestruction49 (talk) 15:13, March 11 2013 (UTC) Firestorm vs Cassius: Good battle. Groundhog vs Cassius: No contest. Datovidny (talk) 15:18, March 11, 2013 (UTC) Ground Clearance.

Stinger vs Black and Blue

Stinger	Black and Blue
Votes for Stinger Stinger might even be able to flip on of B&B over if it can position the mace appropriately, but if it can't, it will still batter at least one half into submission. MattTalk to me 11:45, March 11, 2013 (UTC) Stinger to play golf with Black and Blue, who will be Black and Blue. Sam (BAZINGA) 14:27, March 11, 2013 (UTC) Black and Blue will just bounce off Stinger. Those flat tops also offer an easy target for Singer's mace. StalwartUK 14:34, March 11, 2013 (UTC) Nice to see Stinger excell, but a shame to see Black and Blue flop. The trouble is, that heavy mace, against tiny middleweights with flat tops. Datovidny (talk) 15:20, March 11, 2013 (UTC) Stinger will hit both twins until one or both of them break down. They are both half Stinger's weight, so those drums would need tremendous power behind them to do to it what S3 did. MassiveDestruction49 (talk) 15:24, March 11 2013 (UTC) It doesn't really take long to figure out who will win. Lets put it this way, if Daisy Cutter could do it, so can Stinger. CrashBash (talk) 17:40, March 11, 2013 (UTC) To be honest, I can see a case for Black and Blue here. Stinger might not even hit the little things if it's spinning on the spot, and overhead swings will be horribly inaccurate. But Stinger should still only need a few hits to take one robot out, however long that will take. ToastUltimatum 19:25, March 11, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Black and Blue

Red Dragon vs Six Pac

Red Dragon	Six Pac
Votes for Red Dragon	Votes for Six Pac Six Pac was a fairly decent machine, so it should have the measure of Red Dragon, probably a pitting. MattTalk to me 11:45, March 11, 2013 (UTC) Six Pac to pit Red Dragon. Sam (BAZINGA) 14:27, March 11, 2013 (UTC) One of my favourites, with the superior pushing power. Six Pac will likely dominate a pushing battle, whether it actually pits Red Dragon before cease is another matter. Datovidny (talk) 15:21, March 11, 2013 (UTC) Six Pac has the upper had in pushing power, and will pit Red Dragon fairly quickly. MassiveDestruction49 (talk) 15:27, March 11 2013 (UTC) Hard to actually imagine Six-Pac making it too far on account of it "glitching", but Red Dragon wasn't exactly impressive, so....yeah, give it the benefit of the doubt. CrashBash (talk) 17:42, March 11, 2013 (UTC) I don't see what Red Dragon could do to Six Pac offensively anyway. ToastUltimatum 19:25, March 11, 2013 (UTC)

Pathetica vs Metalis

Pathetica	Metalis
Votes for Pathetica Pathetica is too big for Metalis' claw, and the lifting mechanism seems too slow and ineffective to flip Pathetica. Pathetica can at least earn aggression by bashing the big target that is Metalis with the axe. ToastUltimatum 19:25, March 11, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Metalis Pathetica didn't seem to have mightily powerful weaponry, nor be a solid pusher, so I think Metalis will pit its Dutch opponent. MattTalk to me 11:45, March 11, 2013 (UTC) Pathetica to break down, giving Metalis the win. Sam (BAZINGA) 14:28, March 11, 2013 (UTC) Pathetica... what a fitting name. They won't last long. StalwartUK 14:54, March 11, 2013 (UTC) Broad sides and a fairly weak weapon, whichever way it falls, Pathetica won't be able to right itself after a Metalis flip. Datovidny (talk) 15:23, March 11, 2013 (UTC) I wouldn't back Metalis against many robots, but it's about as fast as Pathetica and has the lower front, so it would probably win a pushing match. MassiveDestruction49 (talk) 15:29, March 11 2013 (UTC) Yeah, with a name like Pathetica....goes without saying even Metalis can beat it. CrashBash (talk) 17:44, March 11, 2013 (UTC) Almost went on the other side, but I believe that surely, Metalis is capable of surviving the 5 minutes better than Pathetica. ManUCrazy (talk) 19:43, March 11, 2013 (UTC) Considering that Pathetica's baseplate is cardboard, it shouldn't survive getting lifted off the ground. And winning a judges' decision? That axe had trouble going all the way out, and being able to damage Shapeshifter is nothing to write home about. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 19:53, March 11, 2013 (UTC)

Sam (BAZINGA) 14:30, March 11, 2013 (UTC) Steg 2 is far superior. ManUCrazy (talk) 15:07, March 11, 2013 (UTC) This could last a while, before Steg 2 gets enough underneath to perform a KO flip. Datovidny (talk) 15:25, March 11, 2013 (UTC) Trilobyte can't self right and is a lot slower. Steg 2 will easily topple it.MassiveDestruction49 (talk) 15:32, March 11 2013 (UTC) Flipped over, bye bye.

Datovidny (talk) 15:26, March 11, 2013 (UTC) If Short Circuit could beat Atomic in the qualifiers and (presuambly) cause at least some damage to it, then it will have its way with Brute's wooden wheels. MassiveDestruction49 (talk) 15:35, March 11 2013 (UTC) Broot's wheels were pretty much destroyed by Matilda's chainsaw. Short Circuit has a disc...see the connection? And Broot only has a spike.

Jim Struts vs Night Raider

Jim Struts	Night Raider
Votes for Jim Struts	Votes for Night Raider I would like to be able to vote for Jim Struts, but I see no real offensive capability. Night Raider will push and shove and score a Judge's win. MattTalk to me 11:45, March 11, 2013 (UTC) I like Jim Struts but Night Raider to be more aggressive and win the judges decision. Sam (BAZINGA) 14:31, March 11, 2013 (UTC) Could we see a topple? Datovidny (talk) 15:27, March 11, 2013 (UTC) Night Raider was said to have 200 kgs of lifting force, 25 more than what Jim Struts weighs. Even if it can't quite topple the Inglis machine, Night Raider will at least be more aggressive. MassiveDestruction49 (talk) 15:40, March 11 2013 (UTC) It's hard to say what Night Raider could really do considering we never really saw it in action, considering it broke down on one side so quickly, but this is Jim Struts we're talking about. A slow walker with limited offensive capabilities who only won because the House Robots destroyed all of its opponents. No real contest. CrashBash (talk) 17:49, March 11, 2013 (UTC) Night Raider apparently has the flipping power, and won't struggle to get underneath its foe. Just bashing Jim Struts would be enough anyway, provided Night Raider doesn't break down. ToastUltimatum 19:25, March 11, 2013 (UTC)

MattTalk to me 11:45, March 11, 2013 (UTC) I don't think this version of Terror Australis ever actually worked. Unless Techno Trousers decides to break down at the same time they've got this easily. StalwartUK 14:32, March 11, 2013 (UTC) Go back to Australia, Terror Australis, you're absolutely rubbish and die at every opportunity. Sam (BAZINGA) 14:34, March 11, 2013 (UTC) Even if Terror Turtle works this time, I don't think it can pull off the. Techno Trousers' weapon looked like it could at least do something compared to the saw that barely pokes out of Terror Australis, and the Americans will pit the Australians. MassiveDestruction49 (talk) 15:43, March 11 2013 (UTC) Techno Trousers on account of the fact that it will at least be able to move, albeit not very well...but hey, any movement is better than none. CrashBash (talk) 17:50, March 11, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Terror Australis TBH, Techno Trousers looks a nice materials to saw through, the holes have already given Terror Australis a start. Plus Terror Australis should have the pushing advantage by a long way. ToastUltimatum 19:32, March 11, 2013 If the Auzzies can at least get Terror Australis to actually move, it shouldn't have a whole lot of problems against Techno Trousers since TT was a very slow mover and its weapon only worked once before it stopped altogether. Terror Australis should win if it stays aggressive. --Headbanger14/The Hardcore Kid 20:21, March 11, 2013 (UTC)

Piece De Resistance vs 4x4

MattTalk to me 11:45, March 11, 2013 (UTC) 4x4 to pit PDR. Sam (BAZINGA) 14:34, March 11, 2013 (UTC) I think almost any robot could take PDR out. StalwartUK 14:44, March 11, 2013 (UTC) I don't think Piece De Resistance would win if its opponent was a basketball being rolled towards it. 4x4 gets the benefit of the doubt, given that it had a lower centre of gravity than Monad, and was after all, against Hypno-Disc in its only appearance. ManUCrazy (talk) 15:00, March 11, 2013 (UTC) I was going to vote for Piece De Resistance, but after watching it in its heat, it clearly had little to no power, despite the 4WD, so instead I'll back the robot with the petrol engine to dominate a dull pushing battle. Datovidny (talk) 15:34, March 11, 2013 (UTC) There isn't a whole lot Piece De Resistance can really do against 4x4, or 99 percent of the robots that I can think of. 4x4 is nearly twice as heavy, a lot faster, has good power and is not nearly as unreliable, so it will just pit PDR without any resistance.MassiveDestruction49 (talk) 15:51, March 11 2013 (UTC) An Englishman, a Scotsman and an Irishman walk into a bar. The bartender says "Is this a joke?" And this little joke is exactly what I'm thinking now, considering we're dealing with THESE TWO TEAMS! Yeah, you can probably guess what I'm thinking. However, I'm going to vote for 4x4 simply because the other robot is Piece De Resistance. No robot needs a reason to be able to beat it. And now, on with the main competition! YAY! CrashBash (talk) 17:55, March 11, 2013 (UTC) Weight advantage, that's enough. ToastUltimatum 19:32, March 11, 2013 (UTC) Considering that PDR couldn't even knock down a barrel in Skittles, looks like the cloth robot is going through. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas.

Winner: 4x4 (9-0)

Shark Attack vs Humdrum

Shark Attack	Humdrum
Votes for Shark Attack I actually think y'all have it wrong. Shark Attack had a flipper that looked reasonably effective, and it was quite easy to bump into Joker and stop its weapon without taking damage. The Spawn Again victory was a fluke caused by a faulty kill switch that turned everything off at the slightest jostle; heck Piece de Resistance could have pulled off that win. Shark Attack will just rush it and flip it. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 16:19, August 3, 2013 (UTC) Yeah, I'm leaning towards Shark Attack. It has a flipper and Humdrum ain't got no srimech or ivertability. Humdrum over and counted out. Jimlaad43(talk) 19:04, August 3, 2013 (UTC) The first time I saw Humdrum was that fight with Spawn Again, and obviously, I was impressed. But yeah, its overall record and the cause of that one hit knockout meant that was a fluke. Shark Attack is still the better machine. ManUCrazy (talk) 21:30, August 3, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Humdrum I apologise for the mess I've made here, hopefully it hasn't made too much of a difference for y'all. Anyway, Humdrum did impress me a little in its match against Spawn Again, and although the 1-hit KO was a fluke, it certainly showed more promise than Shark Attack ever did. MattTalk to me 11:24, August 3, 2013 (UTC) Humdrum did demonstrate more manouverability in it's fights than Shark Attack ever did. StalwartUK 11:52, August 3, 2013 (UTC) I certainly don't think Shark Attack will flip Humdrum, and the loanerbot's weapon will show slightly more aggression. It might score a lucky KO, although I'm not counting on it. CrashBash (talk) 12:09, August 3, 2013 (UTC) I'm not surprised that this happened, but only for a couple, so I'm kind of impressed. Same as above as far as this battle goes. Datovidny (talk) 12:32, August 3, 2013 (UTC) Well Humdrum did manage to win the only battle for the Joker team, I think it can beat Shark Attack. RelicRaider (talk) 12:44, August 3, 2013 (UTC) Shark attack will beaten like a drum, only very weakly. Sam (BAZINGA) 16:56, August 3, 2013 (UTC) I can definitely see the reasoning for Shark Attack to win, but with Humdrum spinning quite fast, I think it's simply more likely that it will immobilise Shark Attack.

Winner: Humdrum (7-3)

Bumblebot vs Raging Knightmare

Bumblebot	Raging Knightmare
Votes for Bumblebot	Votes for Raging Knightmare No sweat, toppled with no fuss whatsoever. MattTalk to me 11:24, August 3, 2013 (UTC) Somehow I don't think Bumblebot will be making a comeback after getting toppled over by Raging Knightmare's powerful flipper. StalwartUK 11:54, August 3, 2013 (UTC) Well, I think you know how I feel about Bumblebot, right? CrashBash (talk) 12:09, August 3, 2013 (UTC) Easily done, but I wonder how far Raging Knightmare can go, now that it's in the final heat. Datovidny (talk) 12:34, August 3, 2013 (UTC) Without trying to spoil it, it seems like it stands a good chance of doing well, considering the robots left. CrashBash (talk) 12:56, August 3, 2013 (UTC) Two robots that are leagues apart in quality. ManUCrazy (talk) 12:36, August 3, 2013 (UTC) Very, very easy. RelicRaider (talk) 12:42, August 3, 2013 (UTC) Buzz off bee. Sam (BAZINGA) 16:56, August 3, 2013 (UTC) The only robot that will be raging is Bumblebot, after it thought it was safely into the series. ToastUltimatum 18:21, August 3, 2013 (UTC) Simples *Chirp*. Jimlaad43(talk) 19:06, August 3, 2013 (UTC)
