Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Change of plan, because Daves good at bribing.

Psyclone will now be aiming for the rear of Forklifts Revenge. GeForces tactics remain the same.

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

My main aim will be to take out the weakness in the form of Forklifts Revenge. It is underpowered and has ultra-skirts so Martyn will find it an evil bitch to turn around and defend himself. The skirts on the edges are the weakness part because to be an efficient torsion sprung system needs skirts all around to take the pressure.

Besides according to the stats of Martyns machine, he has no way in moving because the wheels are inside the robot and not sticking out

ANNIHILATOR
ROUND 1
Die-Ceratops Invertus VS Forklifts Revenge VS GeForce VS Psyclone (17) VS Push-Ish (16) VS WHIRLIGIG 4.0 (19)

Um...stil getting over the fact I made it in (smashing stuff as always BTW, Richie :wink so no real game plan. Get some room to spin up to max speed and shock-kill/gut anyone in the way

I will enter TIRTASM into the football

Annihilator:
Dieceratops Invertus vs Forklifts Revenge vs Geforce vs Psyclone vs Push-Ish vs Whirligig 4.0

Humm what to do

Forklift will go for dieceraptops and try and flip it around, i think forklifts revenge has the rear wedge so if Psyclone comes near me i will reverse into it with my wedge and hopfuly unbalnce it

Well done Andy, thats 2-0

[velociraptor]

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Welcome to VFT6, where after six Mayhems, six robots have proven theyre good enough to compete in the Annihilator! Lets remind ourselves who they are!
*DIECERATOPS INVERTUS, entered by Chris Mason, a box with a moveable nose cone and invertable flipper, which sent Black Chalkie Beard and Hacked Off Ha-ka down the pit in its Mayhem!
*FORKLIFTS REVENGE, entered by Martyn Forsyth, armed with a Toro-like flipping arm, it let BADer pit Disco Dancer 2.5, then sent BADer the same way!
*GEFORCE, entered by Andy Jackson, a wedge with a powerful flipper that helped to knock out Surgeon General, and then tossed around Killotine Evo before pitting it!
*PSYCLONE, entered by Andy Jackson, a full body spinner that helped annihilate Wrecktangle before beating The Disc 4 on a 32-28 decision!
*PUSH-ISH, entered by Dave Sheppard, a pushing wedge with a drum, that sent both Hypertension Mk2, and Squish who was grappling it, into the pit in one move!
*WHIRLIGIG 4.0, entered by Steven McGregor, an invertable ring spinner that did enough damage to Panic 3 GTI 2 and Sonic Boom to win a 28-19-13 judges decision!

So lets start the Annihilator! One robot must go in this first fight, but who will it be?

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
Dieceratops Invertus and Geforce turned towards each other, while Forklifts Revenge also attacked Dieceratops, Psyclone and Whirligig 4.0 began to spin, and Push-Ish also moved towards Forklifts Revenge! As Dieceratops Invertus and Geforce turned around in an effort to get under each other, Forklifts Revenge was able to come straight under Dieceratopss rear and flip it against the wall! Dieceratops began sliding down, only to be sent skyward by Geforce! FR chased the flying Dieceratops, but was suddenly pinned against the wall by Push-Ish, while Psyclone and Whirligig 4.0 approached! Geforce went around to catch Dieceratops, who had landed in a corner, but was glanced on the rear by Whirligig 4.0, spun around for another attack that left a long scratch! Just avoiding another whack, Geforce found itself being attacked from the rear by Dieceratops, who flipped it onto the pinned Forklifts Revenge! At the same time, Dieceratops was hit on the side by Whirligig! Meanwhile, FR fired its flipper to send Geforce soaring away, and then proceeded to take a hit on the rear from Psyclone - but this knocked it out of Push-Ishs grip, and Push-Ish itself was hit by Psyclone as it began to chase it! Selfrighting, Geforce was struck on the side by Whirligig but managed to escape, while FR caught Dieceratops on the side and flipped it - Dieceratops landed on Whirligigs top! It was shaken a little by the spinning action, and when it came off, it was struck again by the blades - before it could recover, Dieceratops was sent upward by Geforce, who was again bashed in the side by Whirligig! Whirligig then proceeded to hit Dieceratops, who was on its side against the wall, tearing its armour!
Meanwhile, Forklifts Revenge had been attacked from the rear by Push-Ish, and slammed face first into the corner! Psyclone took the oppotunity to attack it side on, again changing FRs position, but Push-Ish caught it side on before it could escape, although now there was nowhere for Psyclone to attack! Close by, Geforce and Whirligig 4.0 were charging Dieceratops Invertus, who slipped past them both - unable to get in without risking a strike from Whirligig, it instead charged into Push-Ish, but this didnt get it past the skirts, and it allowed Psyclone another target! Dieceratops was spun towards Geforce, who immediately gave it a flip, but was accidentally hit by an eager Whirligig 4.0 in the process! Landing with a big bump, Dieceratops was stationary for a moment before it finally started moving - unfortunately, this was time enough for Geforce and Whirligig 4.0 to come in! Whirligig struck it first and sent it into the wall, while Geforce gave it another toss! Landing badly again, Dieceratops Invertus, battered and torn, was no longer moving at all! Geforce decided to keep away from Whirligig 4.0 while the countdown commenced, but Whirligig had other ideas, hitting Geforce in the rear and making more wounds! Meanwhile, Forklifts Revenge had struggled out of Push-Ishs hold, got its forks under the waiting Psyclone and tossed it into the air! Bouncing, Psyclone was able to selfright (unlike Code 14 in the last annihilator) while FR was given a good push by Push-Ish into Whirligig 4.0, who left a rip in the skirting! Geforce and Push-Ish struggled with FR, and Psyclone and Whirligig 4.0 kept out of it, until Dieceratops was counted out!
CEASE!

Dieceratops Invertus is eliminated!
FORKLIFTS REVENGE, GEFORCE, PSYCLONE, PUSH-ISH & WHIRLIGIG 4.0 GO THROUGH!

Damage Report:
*Geforce was the most badly damaged, with many tears in its armour courtesy of Whirligig. It was mostly repaired, but the armour could be a little vulnerable later.
*Forklifts Revenge, Psyclone, Push-Ish and Whirligig 4.0 were able to fully repair any damage to themselves.

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

[steven_mcg]

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Spin. Hurt things. Oh, and woot!

[velociraptor]

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Once again, I can only apologise for the delay.

Time for Round 2 of the Annihilator - our five remaining robots seem in good shape after the first round, but that should soon change!

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
While Whirligig 4.0 remained static as it started to spin, Geforce, Psyclone and Push-Ish all attacked Forklifts Revenge! However, Forklifts Revenge quickly moved to attack Geforce, at the side which shielded it from the attacks of the others! The two robots were parallel, but as they turned, FR was exposed and Psyclone moved to strike it in the rear! Push-Ish was poised to attack FR as it went flying, but was struck itself by Whirligig 4.0! Outrunning the other competitors, Forklifts Revenge charged into the pit release, and the others were quick to run away! Chasing Geforce, FR successfully managed to drive straight into its side, get the forks under and toss! Geforce was soon flying towards the pit, and FR followed, with Push-Ish not far behind! Once Geforce had hit the ground, it couldnt get going quickly enough to keep Forklifts Revenge from shoving it into oblivion, although FR was almost immediately pitted itself by Push-Ish, while Psyclone and Whirligig 4.0 watched ominously!
CEASE!

Geforce is eliminated!
FORKLIFTS REVENGE, PSYCLONE, PUSH-ISH & WHIRLIGIG 4.0 GO THROUGH!

Damage Report:
No serious damage to any of the robots - all repaired.

Prediction: Violence to happen, and a case of mutually assured destruction if the two FBSd go anywhere near each other

[andrewj]

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Well, Im going for Push-Ish now.

[mrdaves]

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Im still heading for Forklifts Revenge, and push it into one of the two spinners

[martyn]

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

I plan to run around and try and flip anyone thats near me that is flipable. Try and ram into whirligig early on before it spins up and knock it into the pit or into anyone else in my way

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Thought I should reassure you all I havent given up on this tournament, but there probably wont be any updates until my exams are over, and after that I should be able to work quickly.
