The Crash & Burn Tournament
Im not stopping now!
Starstorm 2 certainly has all the makings of a star, but it looks more like a Roman helm, with its dome shape and top spike. It also has four lifting skirts to support its full body flipper, which raises the entire lid of the robot. Its exterior Hardox armour should help as well.
Gravity is a realie with a really big attitude, really big recognition, and a really big flipper. Enough said.
Roboteers, stand by...
The house robots today are Sgt. Bash and Dead Metal.

ACTIVATE!
Lets get it ON! And first out we have Gravity, who wants nothing better than to shove that huge flipper under Starstorm and launch him into orbit. Starstorm considers Gravity for a second, then moves out towards him to sweep him out. They collide...and Starstorm easily slides under Gravity and POP! the lid of Starstorm pops up to upend Gravity. However, instead of merely overturning Gravity, it launches him straight up into the air! Gravity doesnt like this one bit, but it suddenly gets worse as he lands near Starstorm, upside-down. Before the huge flipper acts, Starstorm slides under and pops Gravity into the air again! Worse, Gravity fired the flipper just after he left the ground, and he lands on his top, with his flipper left open, and he slowly tilts onto it. Frank is bemused by this but drives Starstorm into Gravity as Gravity rocks forward with the flipper closed. Gravity is tossed again and very nearly lands himself out of the arena, but bounces off the railing and behind Starstorm, right side up. This doesnt phase Frank one bit as Starstorm has skirts all around, but Gravity charges anyway, and again finds himself thrown straight up as the shell of Starstorm pops again! Gravity lands inverted but rights himself in a spectacular fashion, performing a 540 vertical, right on top of Starstorm, who answers this with another pop of the lid! Poor Gravity is now popped with the spike now as he goes sailing, and lands with a rather noisy CRASH onto the arena floor on his wheels. Starstorm charges again, wanting to end this now, but Gravity eludes him and decides that he doesnt want to take another trip. He hammers the pit release, and opens the pit. Frank laughs at the pathetic last resort that Gravity has to take to win this fight, and Starstorm charges yet again. Gravity evades the charge and dances around the pit, possibly trying to trick Starstorm into making a mistake. Dead Metal can no longer wait for a victim to come into his CPZ, and Sgt. Bash shares the his feelings as both house robots blaze a path (well, Sgt. Bash anyway
) towards Gravity and Starstorm. Frank laughs again as Starstorm fixes his concentration on Dead Metal instead, tossing the house bot into the air, and Dead Metal lands dead on his back. Before Sgt. Bash can react to this surprising development, Starstorm is now in HIS face, and one pop of the shell signifies that Bash is also upended and dead. However, Gravity saw his opportunity and charged right at Starstorm. Frank is too late to lower his robots skirts as the wedge of Gravity slides under his creation and tosses it for a loop! Starstorm soars through the air and lands on his head, and narrowly avoids another charge from Gravity as he self-rights. Gravity looks worried now that he might not get another flip in, but hes got bigger things to worry about now that Starstorm is closing in on him! And indeed Gravity is too late to get away as Starstorm once again pops up the shell and Gravity rises up, and falls back to earth, and lands inverted. And it seems that all that flipping has taken its toll on Gravity, because his own flipper isnt responding! Yes, Starstorm believes that his work is done and so starts a victory spin of death as the Refbot slides over and counts out Gravity.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!
Well, Gravity is out, and Starstorm is through to the next round, but there are no house robots to dispose of Gravity. Ah, yes, so I guess Starstorm will do it for them, and down goes Gravity, down, down, DOWN! Into the pit, and immediately filling up the arena with smoke, ah, that was good fun...Starstorm, a force to be reckoned with.
CEASE!
Gravity defies himself a victory.

, and spins to face the chromish dude. He rams Cassius Chrome with the wedge almost driven into the ground, and succeeds in sliding under that scoop of Cassius Chrome. The house bot tries to wheel around, but hes going nowhere fast! However, Sewer Snake seems unable to turn without Cassius Chrome falling off the wedge. Mr. Psycho finally realizes that his buddy is in trouble, and releasing Axe-O-Lotl he rolls into the scene, only to be attacked by Axe-O-Lotl from the back with the axe. A few dents appear on Mr. Psychos back, and thats all thats needed to bring Psychos attention back to him! Axe-O-Lotl continues to hack at Psycho with the axe, possibly wanting revenge, but Psycho, towering omniously over Axe-O-Lotl, brings down the hammer once more, and this time some of Axe-O-Lotls plating breaks off. Axe-O-Lotl backs away, and rather than stare death in the eyes, he scuttles away towards Sewer Snake, and ramming him from the back starts to relentlessly pound his top! Sewer Snake is in big trouble, what with Cassius Chrome on his wedge, and Axe-O-Lotl behind him, he cant move away! Mr. Psycho, however, is now in a really cheesed-off mood, and now HE rams Axe-O-Lotl from the back! It looks like a pile-up here! 
But Clawdius ignores Refbots protests, and decides to take Matilda to the pit. BOOM! Down goes Matilda! And now Clawdius is going to help Axe-O-Lotl finish off Dead Metal?! Whats gotten into you?! Poor Dead Metal is being torn apart here and Refbot is ramming everybody to free him! Clawdius drags Dead Metal out and dumps him on top of Matilda. Poor house robots...anyway, now the real fight is back. Clawdius rams Axe-O-Lotl, who retreats away, and the hunting game is on again!
