The Fowler Fic War Series 5

For Paul and anyone else wondering about the wedge spikes on May Tracks, check my profile pic. As you can see, the spikes are curved backwards, so will only cause damage when going backwards over them. However, the spikes in the picture are bigger than they would be in reality. The reason I made them bigger is so you can see the curve easily.

By the way, regarding Acronyms. Itll have to be left unable to self right. Ill just have to treat that as a lesson.

Woot...two seeds.

The Fowler Fic War Series 5

Right, one important fact before I type up the draw.

as you may know I was recently made homeless, and thus have no access to my old PC and the information on it. as such I have forgotten 4 of Aarons entries, and also therefore, these are left with notes in the draw until I ask him. I will draw them randomly when they appear in order to not allow him to use the draw to his advantage. not that I believe he would anyway.

looks good, cant wait to see how i get on in my first tourney

**pcbore** · 18 December 2007, 01:19

The Fowler Fic War Series 5

You never forget your first... tourney:wink:

Tactics for now will be to target Axeon. Go for the sides if poss, or dart in suddenly and strike the front, propelling us both away before the axe can strike. Obviously these tactics will be changed if the draw is.

The Fowler Fic War Series 5

Good line-up Matt, Ill post my tactics and predictions in first. My robots are in brackets ()

Heat 1

Shovearound 2 (1) v Tempest Evil-Est Oution v Axeon 2.0 - A good looking round round fight. The champion will go through no problem I think Axeon will join.

Black Panther Queen (17) v Orka MK.4 v Seung Mina II - A little bit closer. Black Panther Queen is through striaght away, but its close between the other two...Ill go for Orka.

Heat Winner: Shovearound 2, failing that, Black Panther Queen

Heat 2

Achilles (3) v (Knock-Out) v CRAPBAG - I DONT BELIEVE THIS!!!! Ive been put in with two very good flippers. I dont usually say wanna gang-up but I do. Alex, confirm if you want to attack CRAPBAG. If he says yes, wait till he flips Craig over and then hammer the base and wheels. If Alex says no, wait for one to get flipped and then hammer the wheels.

GeForce (19) v MegaByte v Liar - GeForce is already though, probably with Megabyte.

Heat Winner: Achilles is the obvious favourite, but I could be the underdog of the heat (Im not over-cockey!)

Heat 3

Whirligig 4.0 (5) v Senkaganzen v Battle Raptor 4 - The runner up form FFW 3.1 is through straight away. I dont know about Senkaganzen, so Ill say later.

Salamander 3 (21) v Dead Horse Beater v YACATR - Salamander!! Another seed that is instantly going through, possibly with Dead Horse Beater.

Heat Winner: Im going to shock us all, and go for Salamander, triumphing over Whirligig.

Heat 4

Axe to Fall (7) v Mega Masher v Dysfunction - Axe To Fall, seeded, favourite and Mega Masher, belonging to Chris to go through.

Slammer V (23) v (MeCannibal) v Kan Opener - YES! Thanks Matty! Slammer and Kan-Opener are both vulnerable to spinners, mostly Kan-Opener who I WILL attack. Spin up, charge into the jaws of Kan-Opener and unleash hell upon him. Attack Salmmer if I must, but keep on Kan-Opener.

Heat Winner: Axe To Fall or me.

Heat 5

Wedginator (9) v PUMP v A Night At The Bar - Kodys best robot against PUMP and ANATB...Kody and Martijn to win.

SoR (25) v All Apologies v Drilla Killa - AJs uberbot to go through straight away, to be joined by Richard.

Heat Winner: Wedginator

Heat 6

Leprosy Infection (11) v Killotine:Evo v Door Stops - I believe that the seeded robot might not make it. Maybe Door Stops will go if it doesnt.

Back to Rock 2 (27) v Psyclonised v The Grand Disillusion - Psyclonised goes through striaght away, useless its ganged-up on. Back To Rock 2 might go as well.

Heat Winner: Killtone: EVO/Psyclonised

Heat 7

ForcePower 5.0 (13) v (Down-Force) v Slaying Mantis - There are two main robots in this fight - ForcePower 5.0, an overkill rammer and me, a normal rammer with a decent weapon. Im going to attack the seed and catch him with my claw. Attack him from the sides and try to ram him down the pit.

Epidemic (29) v 8645T v Warrior SKF - Two realies and one vapour. The vapour is through, possibly with the American realie.

Heat Winner: Epidemic

Heat 8

Gravity (15) v SUNCUST v Megalodon Maneater - I believe that Gravity might go out here.

Archangel of the Abyss (31) v Chameleon v SBPOTFR - Archangel I believe will go through striaght away, but he might go with one of the other two I dont know about.

Heat Winner: Archangel

Heat 9

Agro 3.5 (16) v Translator v Y4 - Y4 might be surprising in this fight, and he might go through with Agro 3.5

Mute (32) v Shadow Zone v (Nitro-Gene) - A brilliant draw for me. I can get under both of these, outpush both of these, but Ill go for Mute, get under him and throw him OOTA

Heat Winner: Agro 3.5, Shadow Zone or Me

Heat 10

Razer (14) v Scaramanga v La Machine - La Machine out! No question!

The May Tracks Has You (30) v Wheel of Misfortune v Sheer Heart Attack - Im going to go for Martijn and Frank to win.

Heat Winner: May Tracks most likely

Heat 11

Wedge Devolution (12) v Cyberdemon v SYNDOS - Wedge Devolution is going through, easily with Cyberdemon.

Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus (2

v Acronyms v Axe-O-Lotl - Im not going to say until the draw is sorted out.

Heat Winner: See above

Heat 12

IDSFA (10) v Intrigue v Blendo - Blendo has a habit of self-destructing, Im going for Frank and Kody.

(Tornado (26)) v [Aaron vapour] v Firestorm - Ill wait until Aaron reveals his choices but when he does, Im going for FireStorm and sticking on the spike.

Heat Winner: ISDSFA

Heat 13

Storm 2 (

v Terror Gear 3 v Behemoth - Bad draw for Antony. If the two realies attack each other it might stand a chance, but not this time.

(Tough As Nails (24)) v Crash Bandi-bot v Cortez - I dont know what Im going to do, but Ill team up with Cortez.

Heat Winner: Storm 2 - I dont stand a chance.

Heat 14

Flick of the Wrist (6) v (A.R.R.T.D.S) v The Master - Im going to take out Flick beating it at its own game - ram it hard into the walls and kill it. If I remove it early on, it will improve my chances of winning a heat.

Clawdius Decimus Murderous (22) v [Aaron realie] v Shotgun Slapper - CDM through, but I dont know until Aaron tells us WHO his entrance is.

Heat 15

Wedgaâ‚¬â„¢s Revenge (4) v Tenderizerâ‚¬â„¢s Revenge v Spring-BOK - Wedga is a former champion and most likely to win. Maybe with Tenderizer

Metal Sonic Spin dash (20) v (Turbulence) v [Aaron realie] - I dont know yet.

Heat Winner: Wedgas Revenge

Heat 16

The Disc 5 (2) v [Aaron realie] v Griffon - The Disc 5 is deffinately going through. With Aaron.

Tengu (1

v Mr. Slave 2 v Big Nipper - Tengu is very powerful and will go through the very good Big Nipper

Heat Winner: Big Nipper/Tengu VII

A very good line-up from you Matty, and serveral matches Im quite happy with.

isnt it a RW series 1/2 format? not open combat all the way throu? if its now combat i know where im going tacticlly

**craig_anto** · 18 December 2007, 11:19

The Fowler Fic War Series 5

jus so that your aware, ive twicked the shape of CRAPBAG stats are the same, maybe a slightly shorter ram and wider wheels and the aditional add ons of Tanto/BonX style hooks to stop cowards running over the top of the robot,
I know its a little late to change the robot but the stats are the same it jus looks slightly different

**paulc** · 18 December 2007, 15:21

The Fowler Fic War Series 5

Craig, Matt might have changed his mind, doing combat all the way is easier to write.

You might as well post your predictions, until Matty reposts with Round One of Heat A. Unless you post tactics, you wont do as well as you should.

**kodster** · 18 December 2007, 16:10

The Fowler Fic War Series 5

Oh wow...predictions and tactics!

Heat 1
Shovearound 2 (1) v Tempest Evil-Est Oution v Axeon 2.0

Shovearound is through here, no doubt about that...Tempest I think will join him.

Black Panther (17) v Orka v Seung Mina II

Oh nooo...XD. Both of my opponents are very hard to get under, so Ill have problems. If one wants to team up with me to take out the other, thats always fine.

Heat winner: Shovearound

Heat 2
Achilles (3) v Knock-out v CRAPBAG

Achilles to flip either two out, which one though Im not sure. CRAPBAG to not live up to its name and join Achilles.

GeForce (19) v MegaByte v Liar

MegaByte out. Really, one flip and its over.

Heat winner: Achilles or GeForce

Heat 3
Whirligig 5.0 (5) v Senkaganzen v Battle Raptor

Senkaganzen to be overpowered by Whirligig and destroyed.

Salamander 3 (21) v Dead Horse Beater v YACATR

Oh damn, Salamanders up against it here...yet I think YACATR will bite the dust first.

Heat winner: Whirligig

Heat 4
Axe to Fall (7) v Mega Masher v Dysfunction 2.0

Looking for a team-up with Martijn. Shove Chris around and get him onto his back. Avoid that blade.

Slammer V (23) v MeCannibal v Kan Opener

Kan Opener out.

Heat winner: Axe to Fall or Slammer

Heat 5
Wedginator 5.0 (9) v PUMP v A Night At The Bar

Another team-up with Martijn would be nice.

Get that PUMP machine into the pit or OOTA if I can.

SoR (25) v All Apologies v Drilla Killa

No apology is going to save All Apologies.

Heat winner: Me or A Night at the Bar.

Heat 6
Leprosy Infection (11) v Killotine Evo v Door Stops

Baaaaad fight for Franks new clusterbot.

Back to Rock 2 (27) v Psyclonised v The Grand Disillusion

I dont care if I get teamed up on or not. Go straight for Psyclonized. Eventually after enough charging I will get under, and smash up his wheels with my lovely disc. Care for another team-up though, Martijn?

Heat winner: Killotine Evo or Psyclonised if my plan fails.

Heat 7
Forcepower 5.0 (13) v Downforce v Slaying Mantis

Down-Force out.

Epidemic (29) v 8645T v Warrior SKF

No team-up required, unless Aaron wishes to.

Destroy 8645T within seconds.

Heat winner: Warrior or ForcePower

Heat 8
Gravity (15) v SUNCUST v Megalodon Maneater

SUNCUST out...of the arena.

Archangel of the Abyss (31) v Chameleon v NSBFR-X

You forgot to switch Franks bots, Matty. :wink: Anyway ArchANgel could be in for some trouble if the other two decide to team up on him with static scoops or summat like that...dunno.

Heat winner: I think Gravity could get by here.

Heat 9
Agro 3.5 (16) v Translator v Y4

Y4 out.

Mute (32) v Shadow Zone v Nitro-Gene

Fancing a team-up with Paul here. Ram the hell out of Mute and let Nitro-Gene keep flipping it. When his flipper power runs out, Ill use mine.

Heat winner: Me or Nitro-Gene

Heat 10
Razer (14) v Scaramanga v La Machine

La Machine is toast.

The May Tracks Has You (30) v Wheel of Misfortune v Sheer Heart Attack

I dont think I like May Tracks chances...

Heat winner: Scaramanga or Sheer Heart Attack

Heat 11
Wedge Devolution (12) v Cyberdemon v SYNDOS

If Cyberdemons flipped its all over for them. And seeing how often Wedge gets under opponents...

Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus (2 v Acronyms v Axe-O-Lotl

Axe-O-Lotl out.

Heat winner: Wedge Devo or Die-Ceratops

Heat 12
IDSFA (10) v Intrigue v Blendo

...Blendo? How lame.

Just hammer the hell out of it! Hopefully IDSFA will beat up on him too.

Tornado (26) v [Aaron vapour] v Firestorm

Dunno.

Heat winner: Cant say...

Heat 13
Storm 2 ( v Terror Gear 3 v Behemoth

Terror Gear is up against two good realies here. Afraid its going to go out.

Tough As Nails (24) v Crash Bandi-bot v Cortez 1.1

Mwahahaha...team-up with Paul for this one and let TAN shove Crash against the wall. Then Ill come in and hell be crushed both ways.

IF Crash decides to go after me, let the front take a hit and push him around.

Heat winner: Storm II. I dont think any bot in this heat can beat it, not even me.

Heat 14
Flick of the Wrist (6) v A.R.R.T.D.S v The Master

Master aint the master here.

Clawdius Decimus Murderous (22) v [Aaron realie] v Shotgun Slapper

CBM through. The other two, I dunno.

Heat winner: Probably CDM.

Heat 15
Wedgaâ‚¬â„¢s Revenge (4) v Tenderizerâ‚¬â„¢s Revenge v Spring-BOK

Bye Spring-BOK.

Metal Sonic Spin dash (20) v Turbulence v [Aaron realie]

Dunno.

Heat winner: Wedga or MSSD

Heat 16
The Disc 5 (2) v [Aaron realie] v Griffon

The Disc is going through no matter what happens.

Tengu (1 v Mr. Slave 2 v Big Nipper

Same with Tengu.

Heat winner: The Disc or Tengu.

Well, this looks to be quite promising! (prays that this doesnt turn into another hypothetical)
