Re: Fanfic Wars - Series 1

Wow. Leaving this behind for a year didn't exactly help, did it? :P

However I'm going to soldier on and keep this going. Again, please read the first post in this thread before posting. And please, let's have some more predictions!

Re: Fanfic Wars - Series 1

Right then.

Heat J
Round 1

Mute (14) vs. Bigger Brother vs. Glasgow Kiss 2 vs. Flaming Hell

This was havoc. All three went after Flaming Hell, finding it the most dangerous. Dave Weston and Flaming Hell managed to hold them off well though, and within a few massive blows Glasgow Kiss was immobilized. Bigger Brother then had a marvelous chance to get it up and over but just failed, leaving it open for Mute to come in and get it OOTA...almost. It bounced off the railing. The Watts family didn't like that and went after Mute. After a few misses with the weaponry, the 14th seeds were turned over by the 5th series runner-up and tried unsuccessfully to self-right...and then Flaming Hell barged then and knocked the flipper, disabling it. The good news is that this turned Mute back over, but the worst news was that the resulting judges decision saw Mute get eliminated.

Tetanus Booster (19) vs. Disc-O-Inferno vs. Delirium Tremors vs. Wedge Devolution

Disc-O-Inferno was the star of this fight. Set upon by Tetanus Booster early, it slashed the drum and thus disabled the 19th seeds' weapon almost immediately. It was then rammed by Wedge Devolution and flipped but came back in to have a good-sized smack at the sides. This left Wedge open for a heavy blow from Delirium Tremors, sending the Scot wedge careening across the arena, but this in turn left Delirium Tremors open for a disc blow from Disc-O, who tore the tire off one of the wheels (but not ripping the wheel off). This hurt Delirium Tremors' traction and while Zarte was trying to adjust that side to where he could have a proper 4WD again, Tetanus Booster opened the pit and surprisingly shoved him down! Unfortunately that was as far as Tetanus ever got because Disc-O-Inferno had another go at them, jamming a side to where Tetanus' mobility was hindered. Steve got the plan and decided to help Disc-O rid the arena of Tetanus Booster. In the end, it was flipped into Sgt. Bash's CPZ, who further damaged the mobility of Tetanus by shredding through a wheel with its claw. Disc-O slammed into it again and that was the end. Tetanus Booster was counted out.

Putting my money (And an after eight mint) on Flaming Hell and Wedge Devolution.

Re: Fanfic Wars - Series 1

Round 2

Bigger Brother vs. Wedge Devolution

Wedge Devolution just proved too low to the ground to get under effectively, and Bigger Brother was unable to plan any sort of attack against it. Conversely, Bigger Brother was fast enough to avoid Wedge Devolution for most of the match. Wedge Devolution got a few flips in, but Bigger Brother was able to self-right after each attempt. It went to the judges, and Wedge Devolution won every category, but not by much.

Flaming Hell vs. Disc-O-Inferno

This proved disastrous for the seasoned Robot Wars veteran. Within a few hits the disc was taken out of commission, and then Flaming Hell just went to town on Disc-O, completely ripping off panels, warping the disc, and ended it all by tearing out enough of Disc-O to get at a wheel and tore it completely out. Very destructive match.

Merp. Err. Flaming Hell I guess?

Re: Fanfic Wars - Series 1

Well bugging other people (Joey for instance :P) didn't exactly do much. So we go on...

Heat J Final
Wedge Devolution vs. Flaming Hell

Flaming Hell actually looked very, very nice during this battle. It managed to completely take out the flipper of Wedge Devolution, which would have been its bane. What WAS its bane, however, was Wedge Devolution finally stopping the weapon, and sending it into the pit!

No changes to the scoreboard. Heat K up later when I can get to the line-ups on my home computer.

Re: Fanfic Wars - Series 1

Thanks for the replies, guys!

Heat K
Round 1

Maelstrom (12) vs. Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus vs. Splinter vs. S3

The major factor in this fight was aggression. Every single robot in this fight was unfathomably aggressive. Maelstrom and Die-Ceratops got in quite a bit of lovely flips, Splinter punched some holes into S3, and S3 ripped 'n' flipped Maelstrom and Die-Ceratops (and Splinter) quite a few times. The turning point in this fight was S3 riding up Splinter's wedge and Splinter getting a lock on them, and then pitting them. This opened the door for Maelstrom and Die-Ceratops to be even more aggressive and several flips between the two later, Die-Ceratops got Splinter over the fence! Despite the knockouts, it was a great fight and the audience (and the drivers of Splinter and S3) cheered heartily.

SMIDSY (21) vs. Plunderbird 5 vs. Tira VI vs. Helliant

Shorter fight, but much sweeter. Tira VI was completely destructive and managed to rip open Helliant like tin-foil within the first few seconds of the match and send Bosch motors flying. SMIDSY then went in and managed to flip over Tira VI, but the Canadian robot righted itself. While Plunderbird 5 clumsily pitted the smoking remnants of Helliant, SMIDSY bravely charged Tira VI again and again, but the 21st seeds were getting ripped apart by that disc. Plunderbird then rushed to the aid of SMIDSY and tried getting around the rear end. This proved to be their downfall when Tira VI's rear flipper managed to tip over Plunderbird and leave them for dead. All in all, total domination from Tira VI. Hopefully SMIDSY will be repaired by the next match.

Round 2

Maelstrom (12) vs. Tira VI

Re: Fanfic Wars - Series 1



(got Joey's predictions via MSN - Tira and SMIDSY)

Round 2

Maelstrom (12) vs. Tira VI

Fairly even, back and forth... until Tira VI managed to strike Maelstrom's exposed wheel cleanly with the disc. While not replicating the wheel breakage of the fight with X-Terminator, this completely immobilized the wheel and left Maelstrom spinning in a circle. Tira backed off and let Maelstrom get counted out. Shunt then foolishly drove up Maelstrom's front wedge! On one wheel though it was Maelstrom turned to the wall and nearly got Shunt out! Maelstrom paid dearly for this though when Growler charged into Maelstrom and slammed it HARD against the arena wall, where it started venting CO2. Upon returning to the pits, they found the CO2 supply had ruptured AND the failsafe had been dislodged.

SMIDSY (21) vs. Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus

Compared to the last match, this was fairly boring. Die-Ceratops did not get a single flip in at all due to SMIDSY avoiding their long flipper and staying near the wheels. Unfortunately SMIDSY couldn't really get too much of an attack going themselves so they just pushed Die-Ceratops around at odd angles. The judges decision gave it to SMIDSY.
