*rises from dead*
Tom: its back! And im fired up for fury! So lets meet the competitors!
Bobcat! *a crusher that€™s itching to put the squeeze on the other competitors!*
Flamberge! *this scary looking thing is entered by kody from little ol€™ Canada! Armed with a deadly spinning blade will this robot destroy all the other competitors?*
Microforce 3.0! *a 4wd rammer with a wedge and 1.5 polycarb/ 1mm ti for armour!*
Katjuscha! *a widely known ant with a reputation for destruction! A deadly spinning blade makes this one hard to beat!*

1.... ACTIVATE!!!
And away they go! Patched up from the last round but raring to be fighting again! Bobcat races away, skidding accross the arena towards its opponents, its crushing claw glinting in the bright hallogen lights that are mounted around the arena. Katjuscha revv€™s up his disk to maximim speed and charges into the middle of the arena, Leo glances around at his fellow roboteers as though daring them to attack. Meanwhile, a patched up micro-force it taking on flamberge, M-F is getting thrust away by that awsome disk but, although he looks a little punch-drunk, he keeps on ramming kodys machine all around the arena.
Bobcat is sizing up katjuscha, who is giro-ing around in the middle of the arena, that disk is truly awsome! €œik groet u leo!€ joey carfully manouvers his bot around the dutch machine, looking for a chink in the armor of the beast that was once AWS champion! and Joey seems to have found somthing as he dives in quickly, using the claw to clamp katjuscha from the rear! A sneaky, well timed move there from joey! No doubt that will win him points on the style and/or aggression front . Meanwhile M-F has hit the pit release button!
WOOOOOOOOOOOO
And down it goes! Will a unsuspecting ant go down? Kody obviously dosent want to be that ant as he scoots away from the pit at full blast! M-F gives chase but flamberge is slightly quicker, and kody swings his robot round, leaving a unsuspecting M-F to go full pelt into the disk! OUCH! He gets tossed around the arena! But eventualy is stopped when he slams into the arena side wall! AJ wiggles his sticks but a look of dismay crosses his face when he realises he has lost one wheel. Kody smiles and brings in flamberge to deliver the last rites!
RRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPPPP!
OOH! Nice sparks flying there as the disk rips into the titanium on M-F! AJ is looking dissapointed but trys to manouver himself away from the spinning disk of death! 3 wheels on his wagon, but he€™s still limping along! M-F somehow ascapes but how long will he be able to hold the nasty spinner off?! Unfortunetly for M-F he has just limped into bobcat and katjuscha€™s fight! Where bobcat still has katjuscha in a headlock! Joey turns bobcat but it turns very slowly as the gyro coming off katjuscha€™s disk is trying to go the other way! But bobcat is now using katjuscha as a weapon!!! And is leading him towards flamberge...
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPPPP!
OOOOH! And katjuscha€™s blade has ripped off one of flamberge€™s wheels!...oh! OH MY...!
PING!
And flamberges disk hits the ground! Sending the robot flying into the air! And it lands with a crash! He spins across the arena but his frantic escape finaly comes to an end when he slides into the pit! Oh dear! Bad luck kody! But in the mist of that frantic moment, katjuscha has broken free from bobcats grasp! And bobcats claw, is bent and buckled! Im suprised it hasnt fallen off lol!
M-F has been limping away for a while now, but hes trying to get back in the thick of things, AJ desperatly working the controlls but M-F is proving to be a bit of an arse to steer, eventualy he reaches bobcat, joey gingerly moves the claw down to try and crush M-F but sighs when his claw finaly gives up the ghost and falls off.
Joey scoots his robot away, and just in time, as katjuscha comes screeching in! Looking for an enemy! He see€™s the wounded M-F, trying to limp to safety, katjuscha comes in, disk whirring, and he finaly sinks his disk into M-F...
CRRAASSHHH! RRIIIPPPP!
And micro-force goes flying across the arena in a shower of titanium sparks! Bits of polycarb and titanium litter the arena! But leo isn€™t satasfied, he comes in again...
RIIIIIIIIIPPP!
BANG!
Whoa! M-f AND katjuscha go flying across the arena! But katjuscha gets up first and comes in AGAIN with the desk! M-F is being SHREDDED! Katjuscha spins away, Leo looks at the lifeless corpse of AJ€™s machine, and a grin crosses leo€™s face as bobcat comes in and pushes micro-force into the pit!
CEASE!
Jack: And there we go! 2 more robots out! Commiserations to kody, AJ, at least you can down a bottle of scotch and write random drunken ramblings on ZED congratulations to our winners! Joey with bobcat and leo with katjuscha! They go on to the next round!
Tactics comments and a giant inflatable kidney please
Firstly w00t! and well done to Jack on what was rather an epic fight, written at a pace I would be proud of...
If I'm fighting Leo - which I think I am - I'll grab onto it by any means available that isn't actively spinning and shove it out at the first possible opportunity as a matter of the utmost urgency, taking myself with it if I must.
Tactics, spin up, keep weapon pointed towards the enemy at all time and smash into it. Katjuscha is fully spun up in less then a second so that should be no problem.
Bobcat! *a crusher that€™s itching to put the squeeze on the other competitors!*
*Joey waves*
Tom: hello bobcat!
Joey: urm...hello tom
Tom: well done on getting to the final!
Joey: ta, im really lucky, there were some great robots that went out before me
Tom: yeah, so did you fix your claw after the last fight?
Joey: nothing a little bit of glue, tape and a bag of teacakes can€™t fix
Tom: hehehehe, any tactics for the final?
Joey: run around, clamp him and try and pit the little beast *stares at katjuscha*
Tom: well, good luck!
Joey: thanks
Katjuscha! *a widely known ant with a reputation for destruction! A deadly spinning blade makes this one hard to beat*
*Leo grins*
Tom: Zeg hallo en welkome Leo! (Hello and welcome Leo!)
Leo: hehe thanks
Tom: well done on getting to the final!
Leo: well, I couldn€™t let team rcc down!
Tom: indeed, any tactics?
Leo: simple really, spin up, and then just trash him!
Tom: well luck and ik ben een pinda (im a peanut)
Leo: ???
Jack: let€™s get ready to rummmmmble!!!
Tom: here we go....
3 2 1
Activate!
And away they go! Bobcat races across the arena, trying to get away from the big spinney thing that is katjuscha. But katjuscha is in no rush, he€™s hanging back, biding his time, a grin flitters across Leo€™s face as he revs up the disk, and, as the drone of the brushless fills the arena Joey is now hoping that that€™s just Sheppard€™s pie in his trousers! Bobcat can almost sense that the huge disk of katjuscha is right behind him...wait, he€™s not just sensing it, he can SEE it as the Dutch robot comes up behind Joey€™s machine disk whirring, Joey trys to scoot away but Leo is too fast for him and the huge disks come smashing into the rear end of bobcat!
SMASH!
OUCH! Bobcat gets flipped head over heels, that must have hurt! But no, bobcat is back on its wheels and scooting away, katjuscha also got thrust backwards, Leo looks confused as his robot hits the polycarbonate, Newton€™s law my friend, Newton€™s law...anyway they€™re both back on their wheels now, each wanting a crack at the other, bobcat, who has been on the defensive for most of the bout has seen his chance and as quick as anything he zaps into the middle of the ring and grabs the Dutch robot from behind, Leo struggles but no matter how many times he tries to drive away, or rev the disk, Joey is not letting go of his iron grip, the seconds pass but Joey is not letting go, nor can he drag katjuscha anywhere because of katjuscha€™s good grip, in the end a bell sounds to tell Joey that 30 seconds are up and that it€™s a deadly embrace, Joey is therefore forced to let go and race around the arena again, followed by a fuming katjuscha, who is revving up the disk again...
SMASH!
Oh! And bobcat gets a good kicking there! Sent flying over the pit, but lands on his wheels, can he get away...YES but he appears to be hobbling, but still moving, meanwhile katjuscha has been flung backwards as well, straight into the polycarb! Wham! Bam! Thank you man! But he€™s ok; bobcat limps over to katjuscha and grabs him from behind...
SMASH!
Smash! Ooh! Bobcat tries to grab katjuscha but his claw ends up hitting the disk...and flying off! That old battle wound although glued up has failed after a run in with the gyroscopic disk of katjuscha. The top part of the claw sent flying away, into the pit...but katjuscha took some damage too, the left wheel looks far from healthy! But both robots trundle on, the fight is almost over, just one minute remaining, will katjuscha get the k.o? Will bobcat pit the reallie? Who knows? We€™ll just have to keep watching as bobcat comes in on the attack again...will there be another explosive event? It appears not as he gets a good shot it from behind and clamps Leo€™s machine, katjuschas wheels appear to be off the ground though because bobcat seems to be able to drag him around, and indeed that seems the case as they move over to the floor flipper....
FAA-LIP!
Oh! Both robots tossed through the air...and is that, is that a wheel? YES it is one of katjuschas wheels, I did say it looked unhealthy and there it is now, lying on the arena side, Leo looks very concerned, well he would wouldn€™t he?! How much will that effect katjuschas driving ability, quite a bit if what we have seen in previous fights is true. Suddenly Leo smiles, this can only end badly! What is that evil genius thinking?
Suddenly Leo revs up the disk, and moves his remaining wheel forward....wait second, he€™s...he€™s going forward! I don€™t believe it! Leo is using the gyro produced by the disk to move across the arena, that will gain him style marks if it goes to the judges, but the loss of a wheel will cost them, as the seconds tick down, bobcat it trying to get a good shot it, but he can€™t quite get there... katjuscha is too quick, joey needs to pit katjuscha quickly, will he do it?
Cease!
Tom: No he will not, well, that€™s the end of that fight everybody! Both robots still mobile so we will have to go to the judges...they will be looking for style, control, damage and aggression. While they make up their minds lets gather all of our competitors onto the stage...
*Joey, Leo, Mark, Kody, AJ and Aaron gather around the arena*
Jack: while we are waiting for the decision, can we get a round of applause for all of our competitors for a cracking event?
*audience claps*
Jack: oh, and as a special treat teacakes for all!
*hands out teacakes*
Jack: alrighty, a decision has been reached, the judges have said it wasn€™t easy to pick a winner...both competitors did really well, but, there can only be one winner......and the winner, of W.A.R, Micro tornie of death 1 is.....
*Leo punches air, Joey grins and they both shake hands*
Tom: and now to hand out the awards, harry and the captain of the Swedish bikini volleyball team!
*harry hands out trophies, Joey holds up his silver shield, and Leo his golden cup, and together they wave them at the crowd*
Jack: well, as the beaten competitors return to their parts of the world, and as Leo goes off to the meditirainion in his limo, and with his antweight and several models in tow, we wave goodbye to another series of robotic mayhem, and as the chainsaws fall quiet, and we close the studio doors, don€™t worry we€™ll be back, ON W.A.R, goodnight!
Thanks for all the competitors for competing, il see you again soon ttfn
