Yes, bursting from your old Mega Drives come the Robotnik Twins, bent on forum domination and the aquisition of eggs. Unlike most clusterbots, both parts are very different - the Emerald Hill Driller Car and the classic Egg-o-Matic. Part 1 sees the Doc in a four-wheeled box with a rollcage and an enormous front 900rpm drill, while Part 2 is a domed full-body spinner, equipped with srimech arm and can reach speeds of 1000rpm. What less did you expect from Mobius No.1 mad scientist? As well as their varied arsenal of weaponry, the Twins also have 18mph top speeds each and with a blend of titanium and Hardox armour, these two Middleweights could give even Metal Sonic a run for its money. However, the Driller Cars large tyres are completely exposed to all forms of attack and being so fast, control will be a major problem. Whatever happens, though, we can be sure that the Robotnik Twins will definately cause a little chaos. Despite a disappointing performance last year, reigning Robot Wars champion Typhoon is back on parade to try its hand at the crown for a second time. Just like before, its still the lethal lampshade weve all come to know and fear. Coated in red, white and blue, the main weapon is...erm...itself. The shell spins at speeds of up to 1200rpm and when it reaches that velocity, we all know what the four teeth attached are capable of. Ask Hammerhead, Iron Awe and Atomic for more information. Also, superb speed and manouverability allow the RW king to flee from trouble in an instant and once those blades get going, its very hard to knock off-balance thanks to the laws of gyroscopics n such. Unfortunately, though, the machine is pretty useless if the shell grinds to a halt and with no proper self-righter, Typhoon and the Air Cadets could end up being stripped of their stripes once again. As ever, the shell on this bizarre-looking bot will take plenty of good hits and steady speeds mean that the team will rarely lose control. However, it does result in the seed being pretty sluggish and with the ground clearance as high as it ever was, a good flip could blow Warheads chances to pieces. Immediately breaking up, the clusterbot parts go their separate ways - the Egg-o-Matic heading down the ring to rev up with Typhoon, the Driller Car dashing up to the Void Activator! However, the little box doesnt get too far before Push-ish catches up to it with ease and slides underneath the rear end...before smashing the little chap drill-first into the Button for it! With the siren deafening us all as usual, the spinners near the bottom of the Warzone are showing less signs of action. Typhoon, the Egg-o-Matic and Warhead are all looking very apprehensive. None seem too sure what to do...at least until the reigning RW champion smashes into Tonys little Middleweight and sends it into an even bigger spin than usual! Feeling he might as well go with the flow, Simon sends Warhead too after the mini spinner, sending both machines into a twirl on impact! Desperately, Tony tries to get the shell back to maximum speed, but Typhoon simply swoops on over again and smacks off it in a brief spark shower! Deeply worried now, Mr Politzi swerves away for some space, taking another scar as Warheads dome manages to clip it! But he thinks hes got problems, thats nothing to what the Doctor is feeling right now! No matter what he does, Ivo just cant seem to get away from Push-ish, who has now just slammed the Driller Car into the rings topmost flywheel! Front cone twirling menacingly, the Middleweight hurridly adjusts its position and charges at the veteran head-on! Robotniks combatant reaches its opponent...and ends up shooting right over its wedged body and onto its back! Thankfully, the rollcage kicks in and the Driller Car tumbles back upright, but Push-ish just glides underneath the high sides just as it starts moving again! As Ivos entrant is shoved effortlessly down the ring, it passes by its brother, whos having equally little luck! Having only just spun up again a few seconds ago, Typhoon has caught up and clobbered it fiercely with its own claws! And matters arent helped when Warhead catches up and manages to nibble part of Tonys little machines spinning shell before being flung away! However, it seems that the duos suffering wont last much longer...as Push-ishs journey is completed and the Driller Car is dumped unceremoniously into the Void! Ton and the Doc seem to be putting their situation across accurately as the Egg-o-Matics controls are put down...I HATE THAT WEDGEBOT!
