Robot Wars Extreme: The Bets Are On

FROM BOURNEMOUTH IN DORSET; RAZER
A UK championship, two world championship, an annihilator, two All Star championships, the International League...quite simply, you name it, Razer has probably won it. One of the most famous robots in the world, Razer is a wedge shaped robot with one of the most feared weapons off all...a gigantic crushing hydraulic ram, that can make a hole in almost anything it gets the tip into. The claw also boosts 450 weight reducing holes and two wings which act as a srimech, so Razer is prepared for anything. It once went over 20 battles without losing as well, more than any other UK robot. Sadly, Razer is famed for being unreliable, and something is bound to happen sooner or later.

FROM LANGPORT IN SOMERSET; WHEELY BIG CHEESE
Mention flipper, and this may come up straight away. Ask anyone...except Axe Awe. Why? Because Wheely Big Cheese is just about the most formidible flipper EVER in the wars. It is big, and it shows. Not only can it through robots six feet in the air, it once flipped a robot out of the arena from halfway across the arena! The armour is titanium and the giant wheels are covered in golf shoe studs. However, we have another unreliable robot and the wheels are exposed.

FROM ASH IN HAMPSHIRE; WILD THING 2
Previously entering a wedge shaped robot, Wild Thing 2 couldnt be more different. It could be described as more of an arrow shaped robot, broader at the back than at the front. It can run inverted and it has a nasty vertical disc to cut oppodents down to size. It also has a secret weapon...staying power. A high endurance level means that, even if it cant beat the oppodent outright, it can probably outlast them in a fight, making it a real warrior. The wheels are exposed to attacks though.

FROM BELMONT IN HERIFORDSHIRE; X-TERMINATOR
Will it Exterminate...Exterminate...the opposition here? Coming fourth in the 7th series of Robot Wars, it may well do. X-Terminator is a large robot with a formidable weapon, a very large front flywheel capable of tearing fellow robots apart in the blink of an eye. It is compact as well, and hard to damage. However, it is slow at 9mph, and although it has a srimech to get it off of its side, the back is unprotected, and any flipper to get it on there could win the match.

ROBOTEERS, STAND BY.

Booth 1: Razer, Wild Thing 2.
Booth 2: Wheely Big Cheese, X-Terminator.
House Robots: Mr Psycho and Cassius Chrome.

3...2...1...ACTIVATE

And off we go, with the last of our four-way melees. Dont forget, we have a former All Star champion in the mix...said champion getting to grips straight away with Wild Thing 2. Maybe it senses that it is the weakest out there. X-Terminator has that huge vertical flywheel, but it doesnt want to get involved with Wheely Big Cheeses huge flipper. Razer, meanwhile, changing its grip, and going straight for the tyres of Wild Thing! X-Terminator, meanwhile, hits the pit release button. Maybe it senses that it needs to get rid of the others early. Wheely Big Cheese attacks Razer and Wild Thing from behind and...WOAH!! The two go flying! That must have been 10ft into the air, and back down again with a mega crash! Razer and Wild Thing end up tumbling like two crabs fighting on a beach, but the main worry here must be...how much damage have the electronics taken? Well, Razer tries to self-right, but with Wild Thing stuck on its claw, its a difficult task. X-Terminator comes in...BASHES THE TWO OF THEM! Something flew off...I think Wild Thing. Wild Thing is also dislodged from Razer, and heads off in Wheely Big Cheeses direction, as Razer finally self-rights. Id be careful of that X-Terminator weapon Razer team. And Razer take my advice...they beat it. But this is very surprising for the former All Star, World, Annihilator and UK champion...theyre behind and they know it. Now, Wild Thing 2 goes back to attack the side of X-Terminator. The two have fought before and Wild Thing was the victor. But Wheely Big Cheese now flips Wild Thing 2...10 FEET INTO THE AIR AND DOWN AGAIN! This is scary...OH, AND WHEELY BIG CHEESE IS NOW BEING ATTACKED BY X-TERMINATOR! Is that what they were waiting for? Does X-Terminator think that Wheely Big Cheese could be their biggest threat? Remember, I said at the beginning, X-Terminator can not self-right from its back. It HAS to land on its side. And now, its flipped Wheely Big Cheese with its flywheel...OH, AND LOOK AT THAT!! OK, youll have to imagine it, BUT THE DISC HAS NOW BUCKLED WHEELY BIG CHEESES AXLE! That is seriously going to hinder the cheeses hopes now. Meanwhile, Razer goes for another attack on Wild Thing 2. Desperate times call for desperate measures. X-Terminator is WRECKING Wheely Big Cheese! This is now getting serious. I dont think Wheely Big Cheese is now actually moving. I think the damage has been done. Refbots having a check. Razer, meanwhile, has pushed Wild Thing 2 into Mr Psycho! Psycho is, indeed, our very own wild thing out there. He picks up Wild Thing 2 with his massive claw, parades him around the arena. Theres damage everywhere on the Wild Thing machine. Wheely Big Cheese, however, is being counted out. It was a bright start, but now look. A sorry mess on the warzone floor. Mr Psycho drops Wild Thing 2 onto the flame pit, but look at that, driving away...RIGHT ONTO X-TERMINATORS FLYWHEEL! The top panel has been torn clean away! Refbot finally counts out Wheely Big Cheese. Cassius Chrome now moves the cheese towards the pit. Razer has a grip on the now limping Wild Thing 2 meanwhile. In comes X-Terminator, onto Razer...OH NO!! THE SIDE PANEL HAS BEEN TORN CLEAN OFF OF RAZER!! THIS ISNT FAIR! X-Terminator, you cant do this! In the background, Cassius Chrome has finally pitted Wheely Big Cheese...OH, X-TERMINATORS NOW TORN RIGHT INTO WILD THING 2! Its almost torn in half! The disc is hanging limp! I think a tyres been shredded. Times now running out, theres no movement in either Razer or Wild Thing 2. Stripped bare. X-Terminator spin in delight. They know theyve won. But who goes through with them?

CEASE!

Whilst the judges make up their minds, lets have a look back at how the robots performed.

RAZER
-Attacked Wild Thing 2 and caused damage.
-Had style aiming for Wild Things tyres.
-Was flipped by Wheely Big Cheese, so maybe bad control.
-Had problems self-righting.
-Limited attacking.
-Suffered severe damage at the end by X-Terminator.

WILD THING 2
-Was attacked by Razer early on, and took damage to the tyres.
-Was flipped by Wheely Big Cheese.
-Didnt really cause much damage.
-Showed good style by attacking X-Terminators side.
-Received more damage from Razer.
-Was attacked by Mr Psycho.
-Showed bad control by driving onto X-Terminators flywheel.
-Suffered severe damage at the end by X-Terminator.

X-TERMINATOR
-A little wary to begin with, opening the pit instead of going for the kill.
-Attacked Razer and Wild Thing whilst they were vulnerable.
-Was attacked, but not really damaged, by Wild Thing.
-Single handedly took out Wheely Big Cheese.
-Obliterated Razer and Wild Thing at the end.

Who wins?

Robot Wars Extreme: The Bets Are On

...and the judges have finally made their decision. Theyve decided that, since Razer was the more aggresive overall, they go through along with X-Terminator.

And heres the second round line-up.

X-Terminator vs 13 Black
Razer vs Tornado

And heres a fight...

X-TERMINATOR vs 13 BLACK

House Robots: Dead Metal and Sir Killalot

3...2...1...ACTIVATE!

Horizontal vs Vertical in the battle of the spinning discs. Which is the better? 13 Black spins its discs, and swings, hitting X-Terminator on the side...but no damage. X-Terminator hits the back (black) spinning disc...OW! A nasty gash is lodged into the disc! It appears as if that flywheel has stopped, and 13 Black is now lacking one weapon! 13 Black spinds around to the back. X-Terminator is slow, and cant get away. A few scratches appear on the back of X-Terminator, curtisy of 13 Blacks roulette flywheel, but no more. X-Terminator turns, and 13 Black leaves its side exposed...bad move, bad move!
CRASH!!
OH, DEAR! It looks like that blow totally mangled the side of 13 Black! I think...the wheel has been smashed! I dont think 13 Black can go anywhere now, certainly not freely. The roulette wheel is spinning, but theres no one at home boys! X-Terminator comes in again...
CRACK-PING!!
OH, PUWHA HA HA!! THE ROULETTE WHEELS FLOWN OFF!! One impact from X-Terminators flywheel, and 13 Black is totally mangled! X-Terminator hits the pit release button, and Refbot has a look at 13 Black. It isnt moving...nope, Refbot is counting it out. 8. 9. 10! Youre out 13 Black! Sir Killalot picks up 13 Black by the remaining flywheel and trundles around...and into the pit. Kindness by Killalot, for once.

CEASE!

13 Black proved unlucky.
X-TERMINATOR GOES THROUGH.

Next time, Tornado vs Razer...if Razer are OK to fight, that is.

P.S. Please excuse my JP laugh impression.

I promise to have the All Stars finished before this year is up.

TORNADO vs RAZER

Yes, my friends, Razer do appear to have fixed as much damage as possible. However, I really wonder how capable theyll be.

House Robots: Dead Metal and Shunt.
For this fight, not allowed to use their ACF anymore, Tornado are using the lifter.

3...2...1...ACTIVATE!!
I hope that Razer is OK going into this. Still, Tornado makes the first charge. It veers sideways to dodge Razer. Razer tries to turn, but Tornado gets underneath from the sides. Now, thats worrying, as Razer is normally very good at turning. I wonder if the earlier fight did something. Tornado decides for the all-or-nothing and drives Razer...RIGHT INTO THE ARENA WALL! Ouch! Razer bounces off, on its wheels. Tornado backs away...this is worrying me...are Razer OK? I dont think so somehow. I think they might have conked out. Somethings come loose, they didnt get to fix a vital part in there somewhere. Tornado hits the pit release button, they know whats going to happen. Slowly, but surely, Razer is counted out. What a shame. But as the House Robots advance, Tornado comes in and slowly, but carefully, pushes Razer into the pit. Shame, but a sportsman is always good to see.

CEASE

Razer is blunted.
TORNADO GOES THROUGH.

Heat Final: X-Terminator vs Tornado. Rematch from hell!

Sorry for the short fight, but I was rushing myself. Hopefully the finals will be better.

Robot Wars Extreme: The Bets Are On

As promised...

X-TERMINATOR vs TORNADO

HOUSE ROBOTS: Cassius Chrome and Sgt Bash.
This time, Tornado is back to the scoop and chain.

3...2...1...ACTIVATE!

The third heat final is underway. Tornado, slightly the quicker machine, goes for the side of X-Terminator. X-Terminator turns, but, being sluggish, doesnt turn quickly enough. Tornado, as a result, gets underneath the side at a slight angle. This does not go down well for X-Terminator. Tornado cranks it up a gear and drives X-Terminator forward...right into the arena wall! SMACK! That was nasty, and X-Terminator, quite literally, received a cold shoulder from Tornado. Nevertheless, X-Terminator turns. Tornado backs away, aiming from the side again...it isnt successful and the two meet HEAD ON! But...but it looks like Tornado has the slight advantage! Bingo! X-Terminator is driven back into the arena wall again! This is all Tornados work thus far. Dont forget, this is for the final place in the Grand Final to face Kat 3 and Firestorm 5. X-Terminator tries to get away but, in doing so, opens itself up for an attack from Tornado, who slams the lean, mean, silver machine into the arena wall...but this time, the one with the pit release button! The pit opens, and X-Terminator backs away...DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO THE PIT! It survives...but Tornado manages to get around the back and push it back...and INTO THE PIT! Buh-Bye X-Terminator!

CEASE

X-Terminator is...well, exterminated!
TORNADO GOES THROUGH.

ALL STARS FINAL: Kat 3 vs Firestorm 5 vs Tornado.

See ya soon.
