The Crash & Burn Tournament 2
Ta, Chris.
And now for our next fight.
Disco 5 vs. The Riddler vs. Tornado
Disco 5 is Martyn Forsyths wedgy, edgy monster. Its a wedge with a rear wedge, and a vertical flywheel that goes over the back over the wedge. It goes at 3000rpm at its top speed, but at 1 second, its still dangerous. Also included in this package is a nice front front-hinged flipper that can lift about 509kg. Its chassis is 4mm G5 Ti monocoque with an extra 5mm titanium added to the ribs for more rigidity. It sports side skirts as well, so its pretty tough to beat.
C&BT1: Did not enter.
The Riddler is a relatively new creation by Steven McGregor. This villain is basically a green bowler hat shape with two scoops (front and rear) and a really nasty rack-and-pinion axe powered by CO2 tanks, which is also used to right it. Its got good pushing power and excellent speed and maneouverability, and 4.5mm G5 Ti armour. Oh, and did I mention it flies the Scotland flag?
C&BT1: Did not enter.
Tornado is a realie, a really widely known realie. This is because it won Series 6 of Robot Wars, and made the Grand Final of Series 7. Its a low invertible box shape with extremely tough armour, Bosch motors which contribute to excellent pushability and speed. It also has multiple attachments at the front to aid its cause in fighting different opponents. For this battle, Andrew Jackson will have Tornado using the drum.

ACTIVATE!
Here we go again! Martyn is going for Tornado immediately, and Tornado, incidentally, is going right for Disco 5! A bang signifies that Tornados drum has hit the wedge of Disco 5 and sent him uponto Tornado! Tornados got him now, but for how long? And now its The Riddlers time to shine, as he collides with the S6 champ and tilts him upwards a little. Axe time! WHACK! The top of Tornado takes a hit, but no noteworthy damage. Disco 5, however, is about to cause some damage, as he slides off of Tornados front and turns around right into the front!
CRASH!
Tornado jolts back, further onto the bowler hat, his front buckled a little, and Steven hits the axe button again, but misses. Tornado, infuriated, zooms away from the gang-up to regroup, but he doesnt have a lot of time seeing as Disco 5 is following him! Tornado spins around just as Disco 5 catches up, and drum connects with titanium wedge, lifting up Disco 5 towards the ceiling and back on top of Tornado! Tornado doesnt waste any time now, and drives Disco 5 straight towards the wall! The Riddler rams the pit release button in a hurry, hoping to pit either of his opponents. Pit! Pit! Pit the audience screams! Tornado reaches the wall, and Disco 5s disc reaches the railing.
CRASH!
A resounding BANG is heard, meaning that Disco 5 has bounced into and off the ground, and right back onto Tornado! Tornado pushes him again into the wall, giving Martyns vapourbot a disc-full of wall. Finally The Riddler comes back into the playground, and rams Tornado from the rear, lifting his wheels off the ground with the front scoop. WHACK! The axe penetrates the top! Disco 5 is released as The Riddler has his prey in his mighty grasp! Where to? The pit, of course! But Disco 5 isnt done just yet! Heres Martyn coming in with a ram to The Riddlers rear, and flips right over onto his thinking cap! Tornado does not flee the scene, but instead rears into the inverted bowler hat and shoves him into the nearby CPZ! Tira-san is there and gives The Riddler a touch of spinning ring!
CRASH!
The Grade 5 titanium does not withstand the impact of that blow! Great colourful sparks are emanated, and strips of titanium litter the floor! But Disco 5 is back in Tornados face, and avoids the drum, slipping under the front and slamming him full-force against the wall! Tornado ricochets off the wall and lands upside-down near the pit! The Riddler pushes his axe against the floor and rights himself with a CLANG, but Disco 5 turns on him and buries the disc in!
CRASH!
And The Riddler is tipped on his head once more! Not really any damage, but the force of the hit flipped the Riddler back over! Tornado comes back in and shunts Disco 5 in the front, but misses with the drum and goes up the wedge; too far, for theres his disc, fully-charged and ready for action!
CRASH!
Tornado is flung down onto Disco 5s wedge, which flips up and tips him over - OH LOOK AT THE DAMAGE! The whole area around the drum is broken apart; great tears in it! Tornado is away and ready for a new assault, but its The Riddler who attacks Disco 5 first, righting himself and a split-second later coming down with the axe! WHAM! The area behind the disc of Disco 5 is hit, and damaged! The Riddlers a got grip on him, but he shouldve watched his own back, because his backs now fodder for Tiras ring!
CRASH!
And the rear scoops just hanging by a moment now! Mighty was the hit, and The Riddlers rear is buckled and torn! But the grip on Disco 5 is still quite strong! In comes Tornado on the attack, and the drum hits Disco 5s beaten wedge once again, tossing Disco 5 skyward and almost wrenching The Riddlers grip away! The Riddler now backs into the CPZ against Tira to prevent her from spinning her ring up again, but now Exa-Gore-Ic is coming into the play! The Riddler seems unable to retain his grip on Martyns bot any longer, and retracts the axe back, but Disco 5 is still stuck because of our friendly neighbourhood Tornado. Disco 5 isnt too happy at this point; his disc is back up to speed but he cant hit anybody! So what does Tornado do? Slam him into The Riddler!
CRASH!
Can you say flippy? The Riddler is tossed once again, and this time on top of Tira, who is trapped in her own CPZ! Tornado doesnt stop, and presses on, but this causes Disco 5 to be pushed over him and off! Hes free as a bird! And the first thing he does is turn around and drive right into Tornado! The wedge slides under the box shape and the flipper activates, sending Tornado into The Riddler! Exa-Gore-Ic reaches the CPZ but Disco 5 is either avoiding him for the moment, or too concentrated on his prey, and thats Tornado, as he turns and buries the flywheel into Tornados rear!
CRASH!
Tornado is piled against The Riddler and Tira in the CPZ, his rear armour defiled! Exa-Gore-Ic stops, wary of Disco 5s wedge and flipper. Disco 5 turns and slides now under Tornado AND Tira. FLIP! Tira is stuck on the wall, and Tornado is pushed over top of Disco 5, whilst The Riddler lands on Disco 5! Disco 5 turns around again, with The Riddler trapped on the wedge, and breaks away from the CPZ, dodging around Exa-Gore-Ic and heading straight for the pit! He stops just short, and down goes the bowler hat, tipping, toppling, BOOM!
CEASE!
Riddle me this, riddle me that, Stevell need some time to repair that hat.
Disco 5 and Tornado advance to Round 2!
