Technically it does have motors, unless the linear actuators and hydraulic pump run on pixiedust :PComment

Stop the entering, we have a winner!
All of you wrote some effing weird things, and all of you made me laugh in one way or another. Id like to be able to say it was difficult to choose, but throwing the Victorian era in made Mr Dave Sheppard the clear winner!
Not that it matters much, since everyone had Woodpecker to win :P Woodpecker goes through to the finals.Comment

ROBOTEERS, STAND BY
Booth 1: Martijn Benschop
Booth 2: Leo van Miert

Leo does the very sensible thing and slams Splinters controls straight into reverse, trying to get away from Brown Trousers Time, which advances forward slowly...a pursuit of sorts begins, as Splinter bolts into the corner by the flame pit, which flares up as Brown Trousers Time crosses it in an attempt to close down its prey. Splinter darts across the arena, over the closed pit, and then into the top right CPZ, but seems unable to get away from Brown Trousers Time, which comes in from the left and corners the helpless machine. Leo yells something across to Martijn, who shakes his head and then, laughing menacingly, presses the switch on his controller labelled DOOM.
Almost instantly, the blades on the disc become a blur, as the petrol engine spins the disc up to about a half of its maximum speed, and a screeching howl fills the arena as the air above the weapon begins to distort and flicker, the disc running faster and faster, and Martijn, remembering what happened to Splinter in series 4 against Hypno-Disc, moves in for the kill...
CRASH!
The audience gasps, and in a sudden display of completely out-of-character-could-only-happen-in-fanfic behavior, Leo decides enough is enough and rips the Lexan away from his driving booth with one arm, and supports himself with the other as he somersaults the barrier and lets his body fall through the sky, down towards the gap between Brown Trousers Time and Splinter, in a heroic attempt to protect his beloved robot from the monster threatening it. All he can see is inky blackness as, almost in slow motion, he is drawn towards the centre of the rotating weapon, sixty thousand million revolutions per second screaming in his mind as he is thrown to the rend in time created by the disc...
There is a flash of blinding, pure light, and a sound unlike any ever heard before fills the mind of everyone watching.
Then, the light begins to fade to silence.
...
As Leo comes around, he finds himself sprawled out on a strange surface, feeling oddly tired. Rubbing his eyes, he tries to remember what happened, but as he looks around him, and the darkness begins to leave his field of vision, all there is is a few bolts and...Splinter, right behind him. Somehow, Brown Trousers Time has gone. In the corner of the arena, Martijn stares incredulously, wondering what possibly could have happened. There is a pause, and then Leo reaches into his shirt pocket and unfolds a piece of paper within.
On it is simply written, The Laws Of Physics
Martijns confusion turns to anger as he realises that he has been defeated by the laws of physics. NO! he screams agitatedly. THIS CANNOT BE!
He claps his hands, and there is a gasp from the assembled crowd as slowly he begins to grow in size, his Official Roboteer shirt morphing itself into a flowing black cape, his forehead developing two elongated white horns and his eyes glowing a deep red. With a sweep of one powerful arm, he summons from the rift all that was swallowed by it; Verticality, Nitro-Gene 4.0, Frank Goacher, a kitchen from a country cottage, Christopher Mason, five jujumen, several pots of odd potions and scents, a DeWalt cordless angle grinder, Beta-Rex, Axes Of Evil, Boris Yeltsin, Harald Hardrada, William Pitt and a mosquito.
Leo takes a step backwards as the mob of man and twisted machine advances towards him. Suddenly, he finds himself gripped by a resolve to survive this war, and reaches for his transmitter. Switching it on, and standing beside Splinter, he shatters the silnce with two words.
LETS GO!
Something breaks the tension, and limbs and robots begin flying. Leo drives Splinter forward into William Pitts legs, knocking him head over heels and cracking his head on the plywood floor, killing him instantly. He then raises a fist and physically dispatches two of the jujumen, simultaneously headbutting the angle grinder as it flies towards him, flinching from the gash that is ripped in his head, but sending the remains of the power tool straight at Harald Hardrada, a splinter of plastic stabbing the Viking through the heart. Axes Of Evil moves in on Splinter, who grasps it and rams it into Verticality, KOing both robots handily, while Leo, distracted by controlling his robot, is picked up by the ankles and stares upside down at a mutant Chris Mason, who holds him high above his head before marching to the flame grid, which begins to flame up to claim Leo as its victim...
Leo, though, thinks quickly and extends the aerial on his transmitter to stab the Chris-morph between the legs, causing it to release him and double over in pain. He rolls over the floor twice, putting out any smouldering that may have been happening on his garments, before almost instinctively grabbing Boris Yeltsins incoming karate chop and throwing the former Russian president into the kitchen, destroying both instantly. Beta-Rex charges at the Dutch roboteer, who dodges the charge and controls Splinter neatly to scoop up the other three voodoo priests and ram them into the opposing robot, causing all four to fall into the pit. Frank Goacher, over in the corner, cackles as he rubs his hands together to open a plot hole, but Leo uses his initative to pick up Nitro-Gene and run blindly at the threat. Nitro-Genes flipper fires in anger, and the vented gas blows into Franks eyes and makes him fall into the plot hole of his own making, Leo throwing Nitro-Gene in as well before it closes.
Angry at this turn of events, Martijn summons up a firewall and orders the mosquito to come in on the attack, but Splinter drives over the flames, putting them out as the pneumatics tubing melts and expels the excess pressure, while Leo puts down his transmitter and looks up as he hears a faint buzzing, before clapping his hands high in the air. As he opens them, a dead mosquito falls from between his palms and down to the ground.
Leo, triumphant, turns towards Martijn, who roars in anger and throws himself at his adversary, ripping open the fabric of time itself and preparing to dispose of Leo the way he disposed of his creations. As he flies towards him, almost inhuman, he barely notices Leo ducking underneath his charge before grabbing hold of his ankle, and with a 180 degree swing flinging the beast into oblivion.
There is silence in the arena, Leo hanging his head in exhaustion. Then, Dan Stickler in the front row begins to applaud, joined by the people around him, and then the entire audience rewarding Leo with a standing ovation as he gets to his feet again and raises his hand in jubilation, looking around at the remains of the evil he vanquished, the monsters he faced and returned triumphant.
YES! YES, I DID IT!
The podium descends, as the spotlights illuminate the outlines of the Queen and Prince Philip, and the Dutch hero steps forward before bending on one knee, the monarch hanging a medal around his neck before tapping Leos left shoulder.
Arise, Sir Leo
The applause of the crowd goes wilder, and the Dutch roboteer can but grin widely as he reflects on the actions that led to this celebration.
He has defeated Brown Trousers Time.
CEASE
After that random and unnecessarily long and overblown fight, Splinter goes through to the finals!

I was actually meaning Marks profile when I said that, should possibly have clarified that.
Anyway, here is a final of sorts:
WOODPECKER VS. SPLINTER
ROBOTEERS, STAND BY
Booth 1: Sir Leo van Miert
Booth 2: Dan Stickler

Woodpecker comes out of the start tentatively, steadily across towards Splinter, who is starting slowly...starting very slowly...isnt actually starting at all. It turns out Sir Leo ordered one of his servants to put Splinters link in, but said servant went off to the pub with Philippa instead of doing his work, and Daniel realises this as he maneuvers Woodpecker in, landing a series of axe blows on the top armour as Leo looks on in disgust.
Suddenly, there is an almighty roar, and Kody Kunz appears at the top of the arena, pointing towards the winners trophy and demanding it for himself.
DONT DO IT, KODY! Joey yells. IF YOU DO, YOU SHALL SUFFER A FATE WORSE THAN DEATH!
NEVER! Kody crows in reply, before spreading his wings and swooping down over the battle.
Where did he get those from? Sir Leo asked rhetorically. Kody paused to think about it, then answered Back of a lorry.
The prize was coming ever closer, and Kody could almost feel the gold in his hands, as the glory that was soon to be his approached, when the wall on which the trophy was displayed flipped around, causing Kody to fly into a hole and everybody who had been killed in the tournament to come out the other side. Kody lost his wings, and fell down into the back of a van, which promptly locked itself and set off for the Big Brother House.
CEASE
Woodpecker is the winner, now you can stop reading.
