And, if Storm 2 runs, Cyclone Force will certainly run as well.

Lets continue!

Liar vs. Novastorm 2

Liar, with the help of Voltronic, disposed of the third seed Orka MK4.

Novastorm 2 surprisingly went through after Mass Disctruction Revolution was KOd by The Disc 5.

Roboteers, stand by...

Booth 1: Liar
Booth 2: Novastorm 2

Taki-san and Ancalagon the Black are here to take you down!

Time for mayhem! And mayhem we shall see as its Liar who comes out first whilst Novastorm is spinning up his bar. As Liar comes in for his first attack, Novastorm reverses right into the arena wall to avoid a collision, and now the bar is at maximum speed! Martijn is indeed alarmed and Liar is the one going backwards as Novastorm comes flying at him! Whats Martijn looking so happy for? Suddenly Liar spins backwards, and Novastorm drives right in front of him! What a tactic! And Liar penetrates the wedge! FLIP! Novastorm is upended! Liar, not one to let an opponent get back into the match, waits nearby and watches the rear lifter on Novastorm attempt to self-right. Tilting...tilting...TILTING...CRASH. It works! Novastorm is back on its wheels...and back in Liars face as Liar slides under him again! FLIP! Novastorm is again upended. But Liar isnt waiting around anymore! He pushes Novastorm towards Ancalagons CPZ! FLIP! Novastorm goes flying above Ancalagons massive head and right into the corner, still inverted! Taki flies out to aid in disaster and Liar backs away to sit back and enjoy this reckless assault. The great dragonbot Ancalagon spins around slowly and rams Novastorm with his head, interrupting the srimech process. A burst of flame from the jaws signifies that we just might see a rotisserie (or however its spelt ) Novastorm by the end of this match, which may not be far off! Taki rears in.
CRASH!!
The spinning cutter tears into the rear wedge, shredding the armour! Anthony hammers the lifter button in panic but the lifting process is still slow. Liar, almost absent-mindedly, backs into the pit release button, opening the unforgiveable pit. But Ancalagon doesnt have any plans of pitting! Into play comes one of the twin vertical discs!
CRASH!!!
Um, wow. Novastorm is sent reeling into the air by that hit, his side wedge almost completely destroyed by that, and hitting the railing comes back in...to get smashed again!
CRASH!!!
See ya, Novastorm! The spinning bar took the hit that time, crumpling, and Novastorm gets a taste of air, soaring over the wall before slamming down hard onto the track. Liar shoots in and immediately getting under Taki turns around and dumps her in the pit, falling in himself.

CEASE!

Novastorm 2 is no maelstrom.
Liar advances to the Heat B Final!

Thanks.

Voltronic vs. The Disc 5

Voltronic and his buddy Liar made short of Orka MK4, and then Liar tossed him OOTA.

The Disc 5 immobilized Mass Disctruction Revolution with a gigantic hit on the spinning ring.

Roboteers, stand by...

Booth 1: Voltronic
Booth 2: The Disc 5

Heres Obelix Bulguous with the hammer and wedge, and Double Whamlet with the quadruple axe combo and lifting arm on his plow.

Its The Disc who starts off first, trundling off towards Voltronic, who attacks The Discs wheel hubs, keen to avoid that disc. However The Disc isnt too worried about a wedge attack on the axles due to his excellent maneouverability, and simply turns on the spot. Voltronic keeps on going, putting plenty of space between him and The Disc, but The Disc is after him! Voltronic suddenly pulls a 180 and heads for the wheels again. Again The Disc turns and his flywheel nicks the side of Voltronic!
CRASH!
Voltronic is thrown up, but not by a lot, and he comes back down. The Disc tries to hold him up with the flywheel but Voltronic drives forward and dislodges himself from the flywheel, and heads off in the direction of the pit release button. WHAM. A siren wails through the arena as we all know now that the gate of robot hell has dropped down. And The Disc comes in for another disc attack but Voltronic reverses from the incoming tackle and is now facing the wheel again! Desperately he attacks but The Disc again repeats his spin, barely missing the side of Voltronic. Voltronic turns around to find The Disc a mere foot from him and decides to box rush him, just to get something, anything, done.
CRASH!!!
Unfortunately for Voltronic something bad has really been done to him, as he sails chassis over teakettle, a gash ripped into his face, to land dead on his back. Can Voltronic self-right? NO, and Frank is going to keep it that way. The Disc rears away to the middle of the arena as The Watcher approaches Voltronic, trying to lift himself up and over but its no use.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!
Its all over for Voltronic now, and the house bots seem to think so too, for theyre coming at Voltronic deadly fast! With a bang Whamlet smashes into Voltronic and begins to mercilessly thwack him with his double axes and side axes. Obelix isnt going to let Whamlet have all the fun and getting to the Season 5 heavyweight runner-ups side pounds him with the menhir hammer! Do you think Frank is going to sit by and watch? NO! The Disc without warning blasts from his spot and hammers Whamlet in the rear, nearly inverting him but tilting him up enough for The Disc to drive underneath him and try to topple him! Obelix isnt paying attention to this, and has his mind set on beating Voltronic to a wire-laced pulp, so sayeth Steve-O. The Watcher comes in to give The Disc the yellow card but Frank dismissively waves a hand from his control booth and continues to shove Whamlet into Voltronic. Voltronic? VOLTRONIC? Well...it seems that Voltronic isnt really himself anymore. In fact hes not much of anything anymore, with armour and mechanics smushed into the ground. The Watcher bumps The Disc to make him let go of Whamlet but then he doesnt need to, for Whamlet topples inverted onto Voltronics comatose chassis. Obelix finally comes to his senses and pushing Voltronic tackles The Disc before the flywheel gets up to speed, and dumps The Disc down the pit, but way too late to save Voltronic.

CEASE!

Its not Voltronic anymore. Its dead.
The Disc 5 advances to the Heat B Final!!

Simple tactic, hit Liar on the side and flip it over. I think its self righting will damage it more than my disc will

[majinb]

The Crash & Burn Tournament 2

tactics; wedge rush it immediately, followed by a flip
rinse and repeat. go for the OOTA

[dogbot4000]

Good fights.

The Crash & Burn Tournament 2

Time for a grand (but not THE grand!) heat final!

Liar vs. The Disc 5

Liar got rid of the third seed Orka MK4 in a collaborative effort before taking down Novastorm 2, who got tossed OOTA by one of Ancalagons discs.

The Disc 5 surprisingly defeated the feared Mass Disctruction Revolution before trying to take out Voltronic AND Double Whamlet, defeating the former but getting pitted by Whamlets buddy, Obelix Bulguous, shortly after.

Roboteers, stand by...

Booth 1: Liar
Booth 2: The Disc 5

House fighters? Why, Tira-san and Asterix Heroicus, of course.

Its the big fat Liar versus the really agitating The Disc 5, and they immediately blast towards each other in a classic rush. WHAM! Liar hammers The Disc and prevents the weapon from reaching its deadly speeds! FLIP! Oh my! The Disc is inverted! And you know what? It doesnt look like that makes any difference, for hes the exact same any way up...and The Disc retaliates with a disc blow to the side of Liar.
CRASH!
Liar shudders violently, and pieces of armour are sliced off and flung across the arena! Other than that, he seems to be okay, but The Disc isnt going to have that for long! Another charge at the side Frank attempts, but Liar is reversing away...and charges forward, right into The Disc! Too late, though, to stop the flywheel.
CRASH! FLIP!
WOW! What a collision! The Disc has been sent back quite a bit by that greeting of the flipper, but Liar is definitely the worse off here, as the flipper is slightly bent, and it doesnt look like itll be as effective now. Seeing this Frank goes for the death blow but Martijn isnt keen on letting this battle slip away and Liar wheels around, causing The Disc to drive one of its hubs right up onto the battered flipper! FLIP! The Disc is launched and spun right into the air, coming down and bouncing almost the entire length of the arena, and settling down near the flame pit! Aha! Finally, the arena saws come into the play for the first time in this tournament as Liar gets struck by them, sending a shower of sparks streaming through his underbelly. The Disc seems to be in a daze; Frank is working the controls extremely quickly but his beloved barbell bot is moving very sluggishly. Sensing weakness, Liar comes forward with a reverse ram to the wheel hub. The Disc does a pirouette, whacking Liar in the side with his other hub. Liar turns and flips...air! Inverted flipperbot! The Disc advances slowly, and hits the inverted Liar in the back.
CRASH!!
That blow nearly turned Liar right back over, but the wedge prevented this and tossed Liar right back into The Disc. Martijn rams the flipper button with his fist just as Liar rolls forward, and the audience is silenced as Liar somersaults over The Disc...to land on his back again. Not too good for Martijn! The Disc reverses, spinning weapon back at its deadly potential, though spinning down, and Liar tries to right himself, but another obstacle is in his path: the arena wall!
CRASH!
The Discs disc comes down upon Liar with almost the force of a falling tower, and it bounces Liar into the air about a few inches. Liar activates the flipper, but no good. The Watcher senses an end to the match and comes over to bring it to Liar!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!

CEASE!

Liar, Liar, parts on fire!
The Disc 5 advances to the Series Semi-Finals!!

Heat C
Aquarius (5) vs. Flipping Mad vs. Leprosy Infection
Breed vs. Rogue vs. Firestorm V

Tactics? Predictions? Smelling salts due to the fact that I wrote a fight?

[majinb]

The Crash & Burn Tournament 2

welcome back

Aquarius (5) vs. Flipping Mad vs. Leprosy Infection
Not sure on al the stats, Aquarius to go through, I believe Flipping Mad to be decent enough to join him.

Breed vs. Rogue vs. Firestorm V
The clusterbot to lose it.

[dinowarrior]

The Crash & Burn Tournament 2

I believe Ive already posted my tactics, but as a reminder, my target is the ageing Flipping Mad. From the sides, mind.

[swiss_tony]

The Crash & Burn Tournament 2

Sure, help Chris take out flipping mad

The Crash & Burn Tournament 2

So far, Ive seen absolutely NO activity in the Fan Fic section for over two weeks. Wheres all the interest gone? If there isnt some more comings and goings on in the near future, Im afraid I might have to cancel the fights and do hypotheticals...

Come on, people! :sad:
