It seems Team Welsh Warlords have replaced the titanium/vanadium with some fur...strange. It's basically a barrel shape with a powerful flipping mechanism. Mildly powerful, but...really, they'll just catch on fire here. It's got a nasty-looking spinning blade and a rear lifter as back-up. 4WD helps this thing push, but inferior armour to all but Gamma-Rex may have it shot up a little more than intended. Just as Liam is about to retaliate, he gets broadsided by an incoming Pack Raptor pushed aside by Heroin's rear wedge. Heroin keeps going, but Gamma-Rex has finally turned about and got the flipper under the Raptor! Joey blinks, then gets Heroin out of there, pronto. The Pack Raptor is unable to get away from Gamma-Rex and is subsequently launched across the arena...comes down bouncing onto its top claw and lies on its back. As its twin goes to help it out, it is blocked by the flywheel of Heroin! The other Raptor self-rights as Heroin takes off after its twin, but the Raptor easily outstrips Heroin and both parts regroup. Meanwhile Blizzard is still trying to get a good hold on Gamma-Rex, but is failing. Gamma-Rex is able to finall get its flipper into play on Blizzard, and lets loose an almighty snort...on air! Blizzard got away just in time and Gamma-Rex ends up flipping itself thanks to its own power! ...well, fur doesn't really keep the barrel shape, even with the chassis, right? So Gamma-Rex is stuck there and completely unable to roll onto its wheels! Sooooo...Liam is forced to resort to the flipper, and does so...Blizzard hurries to get under as Gamma-Rex lands - Now we can see the inner chassis of Gamma-Rex, a bit scuffed from the collision but otherwise all right...but not for long! Hex is spinning again...and Blizzard has no intention of letting Gamma-Rex go! Liam has to use the flipper again, but Hex is too near! And guess what? That's hardly stopped the drum! Slightly scared, Tony tries to turn and ram the drum out of sheer pressure, but doesn't have a proper chance as Paralyzation moves in again! It's sent Novastorm away, spinning, flying, err...generally backwards into the wall with fierce power! It's also sporting some nicely visible scratches in the side armour now! So the 7th seed's weaponry is not at all to be underestimated, less so if you're Novastorm! To his relief, Tony is able to squeeze Novastorm out of there before Paralyzation can move in for the kill! Now Tony is back on the attack, looking to make up for lost time, and he's certainly doing a good job of it! Paralyzation isn't able to keep up with Novastorm's speed and subsequently finds himself on the V-wedges again! With a blast from the motors Novastorm hurtles into Damocles' CPZ, and the house robot greets our 7th-seeded drumbot with a gigantic smack to the other side! Realizing this, Tony puts the drive in reverse, and the button is hit. Novastorm now works to try and get the elusive Paralyzation towards the ever-lowering pit, but the seed isn't seeded 7th for nothing! It manages to evade Tony's attack again and pushes Novastorm into the other empty CPZ, and Count Bleck is out of his CPZ immediately this time. Paralyzation holds Novastorm there as long as he can, but eventually cannot do so anymore and Novastorm gets away...only to be greeted by a horrible spinning ring! Anyway they're held there and Damocles...attacks Paralyzation?! ) They look tasty. Look what Typhoon 2 did. Oh, Damocles is here too with all 4 drums. Ra-pum-pum-pum-pum, indeed. The skirt's ripped to hell and it definitely won't be as effective now! MeCannibal however is still spinning, but it can't approach Megabyte quick enough before the RFL monster is back up to speed! It comes back over and smacks into the C&B3 Heat Finalist again! Megabyte found the missing tooth and smacked it flying across the arena., and there it goes, bouncing off the walls, that lone tooth. Well, it really looks like MeCannibal can't spin up properly now, so it's only a matter of time! Megabyte pours on the aggression and collides full-tilt with the damaged spinning ring of MeCannibal!
A nasty horizontal disc on this Beatles-inspired box on wheels. Can run either way up, has good armour and good drivetrain. Could be tricky to turn though with those wheels bunched up back there, and the wheels are exposed as with all invertible machines...could its misery be a LP? However it's known to have reliability problems.
As King Leer tries to push them away, Toro gets under and tries to flip it! And just barely succeeds! King Leer's turned turtle, the blades thwacking uselessly! The Watcher, after careful monitoring, decides he doesn't want to anger the massive flipper robots and decides to check on Revolver...but gets attacked next anyway! Ziggy is under the refbot and with another flick sends it flying out, too! Now no one can count out Revolver, but Revolver's dropped suddenly, and still mobile: Exa-Gore-Ic drives around Revolver and looks to be in a right state after that cheeky assault! But such attention has made both flipps target HIM next! As Exa-Gore-Ic grapples with Toro, Ziggy gets to its side and with one giant toss sends BOTH of them onto their sides! However, Ziggy didn't count on Revolver recovering so quickly, and Steve grins at the distraction as REvolver advances!
