And finally, the MToD 2 Final has commenced!
It's Nitro-Gene 5.0 straight on the attack, crashing headlong into the waiting plow of Do Or Die, whose sibling Dolce failed to win the last MToD, but Do Or Die isn't about to go the same way without a savage fight! The two struggle against each other's ground clearances, but neither can get their lifting weapon under the other lifting weapon! Then a drivetrain suddenly prevails, and it belongs to Do Or Die! The LEM200s of Chezza's machine outperform the S28-400s of Nitro-Gene and grind it slowly backward! Paul is doing all he can to push backwards, but the arena wall behind him is getting closer, and finally he's pinned against it! As if to further Paul's humiliation, the flipper gives way to the plow, and...is stuck on the middle of it! Chezza can't believe this; shaking away the shock, he gets back into first gear and lifts the flipping arm of Nitro-Gene up, rendering it useless at the moment...and it's stuck! Paul again tries to push back, but his flat front meets the edged front behind the scoop of Do Or Die, and Paul is pegged in there again! No matter what the devil he tries, he simply can't get away from the more powerful machine! But even before The Watcher decides to make his way over, Chezza decides that the best way to winning a Final isn't through simply pinning your opponent, and suddenly backs off, lowering the plow. Nitro-Gene bolts out, but Chezza runs right back at him, and Paul can't close the flipper quickly enough! The scoop slides under the flat front of Nitro-Gene and finally, we get our first flip of the match, as Nitro-Gene is lifted up, up, and over onto the flipping arm, which finally settles back in, leaving Paul's machine on its back! It drives off however before Chezza can get back into the game, and fires the flipper, sending Nitro-Gene leapfrogging into a 540, and RIGHT OVER TOP OF DO OR DIE, haha brilliant! And it's got the flipper pointed at the rear of the rammer! Do Or Die spins around in a sudden panic; sadly, it's not fast enough and Nitro-Gene slides under the side of Do Or Die; with a massive flip, Do Or Die is launched across the arena, finally coming to rest on the arena spike...which spears it! It didn't do much though; Do Or Die's on its back now, thus the polycarb baseplate is now on top and the Hardox top gets spiked...but it does flip Do Or Die again! Seeing this, Nitro-Gene comes in for another mauling and is rewarded heavily for it; another massive flip again launches Do Or Die across the arena in spectacular fashion! It bounces into the wall, and off of it, and ooh...that was close. Do Or Die can be stacked on its side, but thankfully managed to stay on its wheels.
Evidently fed up with this turnaround, Chezza turns his robot right around to face Nitro-Gene, who had charged in for another onslaught, and again the ground clearances of the arm and plow cancel out...but not for long! Do Or Die's again managed to slide the plow under the arm, and pushes into it, turning Nitro-Gene's front end away and getting at the side, under the skirt and the side! Not wasting any time, Chezza activates the lifter, sending Nitro-Gene over onto its back, and before Paul can get his robot away, it's pegged up against the arena wall! Chezza backs off, lowering the scoop for another attack, but again Paul gets away quickly - BZZT! Oh no he doesn't! He's been hit by the arena kill saws and sends a shower of sparks streaming out from underneath his skirts! Do Or Die presses the advantage, getting to Nitro-Gene's side before he can get away, the scoop seemingly having more leverage than the skirts as it slides under both skirt and side, and pushes him across the arena, right into Triple Whamlet's CPZ! Now Nitro-Gene's activates the flip - AHH! What a stroke of luck! Part of the body was underneath the plow, and as Nitro-Gene activates his weaponry, it hit the top of the plow and spun it away from both Do Or Die and to the side of the house robot, but still inverted! It gets away as Triple Whamlet turns, and runs across the arena to activate the pit release button! Chezza gnashes his teeth furiously; he almost had the match there, and it can't feel good to see it slipping out of your fingers in an instant, no it can't! Do Or Die screams after the inverted flipper as Nitro-Gene crashes into the button, lowering the pit for the final time in this tournament. Then Nitro-Gene activates the flipper again, sending himself into a - NO! Nitro-Gene sent himself into a 360! Paul is horrified, but even more so when Do Or Die crashes back into him from the rear and starts lifting! Chezza's trying to stack Nitro-Gene against the wall...or possibly just hold him there, but Nitro-Gene's front tires catch the pit release button and send the robot away from the scoop of Do Or Die.
The house robots shift restlessly as time ticks past the 2:30 midway mark of the match, and Nitro-Gene isn't doing well at all now, he can't really self-right properly, and Do Or Die's control of the match seems to be returning; he rams into Nitro-Gene as the latter tries to attack the side of his opponent, and stuffs it into the wall. Backing off, it allows Nitro-Gene to get away, Paul again trying to self-right, and he nearly did, only it was over a 270 flip, crashing into its snout and again onto his back! The scoop thrashes Paul's robot's side and shoves it towards the pit! Nitro-Gene fires the flipper again, but it's again underneath the scoop of Do Or Die, and seemingly losing its power in the flipper only shunts it a few inches away from Do Or Die...and that's all that's needed!!! Nitro-Gene has escaped the push to the pit, and Do Or Die stops in its tracks. Chezza is stunned; again the victory is pulling away in front of his very eyes! Nitro-Gene again tries to self-right, and due to the now weakened power of the flipper, he manages it in a rather feeble 180. Do Or Die is not a happy robot and moves in on Nitro-Gene, but amazingly the flipper manages to slide under the plow this time! Paul's delight is mirrored in his robot's charge as it sends Do Or Die into an empty CPZ, and flicks it up into the air slightly. Both house robots fly out of their CPZs as Do Or Die lands on its back...but not away from the house robots! Triple Whamlet crashes into the scoop of Do Or Die; not managing to get under it he gives the top of Do Or Die a nice few whacks with each of his axes, as Taki III gets under Do Or Die's side and lifts it up...right side up, that is! Unfortunately, that's also on Triple Whamlet's scoop! Nitro-Gene moves back in now, patrolling outside the CPZ lest Do Or Die escape, but Triple Whamlet's last shunt has freed Do Or Die from Whamlet's own scoop and Do Or Die manages to slide right by Paul's machine!
Not even noticing the time left in the match, Do Or Die attacks savagely, lifting under Nitro-Gene's rear end, and slowly pushing it onto its back before the flipper can retort! Paul immediately heads for the pit...around it, so to speak, and seems to be playing chicken...Do Or Die doesn't look chicken, though the few blows from Whamlet have left its underside holed up, and its top battered and dented. It comes after Nitro-Gene in fury, but Paul circles the pit, playing with danger, it seems. Indeed, Paul's only hope now seems to be the pit; he again tries to self-right, but can't manage it now: the flipper's power is almost drained. Noticing this, Do Or Die goes the other way around the pit, but Paul's now away from the pit and - BZZT! Into the saws, sigh. Do Or Die catches up quite easily, and now scoops up the tired flipper, and it can't get away; Do Or Die turns and heads straight for the pit. Only 15 seconds are left in the match, but that's more than enough for Chezza; with a final shove, Nitro-Gene 5.0 meets its end down the pit, Paul hangs his head, and Chezza, jumping around like a maniac, claims the MToD gold!
CEASE!!!
Nitro-Gene 5.0 gets bombarded with overwhelming amounts of iron and other metals. The only metal he gets now is silver.
DO OR DIE WINS THE CRASH & BURN MINI-TOURNAMENT OR DEATH 2!!!
----
And we say adieu to another thrilling minor tournament. Thus, the standings are:
Bronze = Hypertension Mk 3 (Matthew Fowler)
Silver = Nitro-Gene 5.0 (Paul Cuomo)
Gold = Do Or Die (Chezza)
And those will be the seedings for the next MToD, which will be bigger with 16 robots and a different set-up. But that won't be for a while, unfortunately. You do have C&B4 to look forward to. Thanks to everybody who entered, and to those that didn't, you'll get your opportunity next time.
Until then, folks! :wink:
