Death Via Drum gets off the mark first, coming out towards Crash Bandi-Bot, which moves away tentatively. D.V.D. turns, trying to get to the sides of its opponent, who pauses briefly before driving up in the direction of the pit, then turning around to face D.V.D., which comes forward, and tries to dummy Crash to get around the sides with the drum!
CRASH! WOAH! Both machines hop up in the air, and D.V.D. lands inverted as Crash retracts the flipper - but that flipper is already looking a bit scratched up from the initial impact with the weapon. D.V.Ds drum pauses, as Paul switches its direction, before the robot backs off from the approaching Crash, trying to buy some spin-up time. D.V.D. turns away, driving out of the charge of the approaching Bandi-Bot, and then brings its drum around to face its aggressor, who comes in again, and pauses before both robots charge at each other!
CRASH! WOAH! CO2 vents from Crashs flipper, but it hasnt had any effect - the drum hit has flipped it up and over! D.V.D tries to come in again for another hit, to keep Crash under control...but Chris fires his machines rear spike, and hits one of the weapon supports on D.V.D., keeping it at bay. Crash then drives away, down towards the patrol zone, turning around for another attack, but D.V.D. comes in pursuit...the spike fires again, catching on one of the sides, but D.V.D. instead uses its Lynch motor drivetrain to try and push Crash into the patrol zone...Crashs wheels are spinning, but it finds itself being slowly edged into the zone. Dead Metal comes in, trying to get a hold of it with the pincers, and D.V.D. reverses away as the house robot drags Crash back into its lair, bringing the saw down to scar the paint on the top...Shunt is there as well, with the axe slightly denting the edge, but Crash manages to push Dead Metal away and get free, reversing out of the patrol zone over the flame pit, turning to face its adversary. D.V.D. comes in again with the weapon, but Crash second-guesses it and drives in underneath the front side to push it away....but D.V.D. bgins to slide off the wedge, and the drum makes contact!
CRASH! And Crash finds itself being flipped once again, the robot now beginning to look rather battle scarred. D.V.D. comes in again, but Chris looks confident, and drives in on D.V.D. with the flipper!
CRASH! WOAH! And theres sparks flying from the titanium, and D.V.D. is inverted agai-the flippers buckled! Part of the flipper of Crash Bandi-Bot has come away from the hinge, and appears to be bent backwards, the flipper doesnt seem to be closing anytime soon either...Crash rather sensibly drives away, up towards the pit, as D.V.D. moves in an arc around the arena, trying to both get in on Crash again and buy spin-up time for the reversed drum. It comes up the arena, towards Crash, who appears to be trying to draw D.V.D. in towards the pit area...Crash turns, getting its spike to face the opponent, and as D.V.D. drives in, Crash fires and deflects the charge, pushing D.V.D. near the pit! D.V.D. reverses away, and Crash comes in again, turning to set up a more precise ram, but it accidentally goes broadside on to its aggressor, and D.V.D. comes in again, going for the front!
CRASH! WOAH! And now theres gas leaking from Crash! The flipper mechanics appear to have taken a direct hit in that attack, and Crash bounces down looking rather battered, and D.V.D. backs off for another attack...Chris holds his transmitter in the air to get Crash away, but theres no movement obvious in his robot, and he looks concerned as Paul drives D.V.D in again!
CRASH! And perhaps rightly so, as Crash flips over again from the impact, revealing a small red object on the floor - the link. It must have come out when the flipper was hit, and now the outcome of this fight is fairly obvious, D.V.Ds weapon is spinning down as it reverses from the scene, Paul contented while Chris looks gutted.
CEASE
It was a tough fight, but at the end the winners are Paul Cuomo and Death Via Drum!
COMING TOMORROW:
HEAT B FINAL
Macduff The Third vs. D.V.D.
