Predictions

[tom_b]

Yes I know its early to post my predictions but Im flying out on Friday, so I though Id get my predictions in nice & early. Now unlike my previous individual predictions, Im going to predict what would happen in the first rounds.

Raging Knightmare Vs Tornado (1)
Raging Knightmare will outshoved by Tornado & either dumped in the pit or a judges decision. I think Tornado will win this as its 4WD and much more powerful.

Dantomkia (5) Vs Gravity
Gravity is 1 dangerous robot, I think its a case of who flips who out of the arena first. Gravity would probably win this fight as they have the most awesome flipper since Chaos 2 & Wheely Big Cheese.

St Agro Vs X-Terminator (11)
The Cornish will have no chance I think as their wheels will be smashed by X-Terminators disc. X-Terminator to win this fight.

Bulldog Breed (12) Vs Tough As Nails
This could be a fight of 2 halves. It could either be Bulldog Breed out-shoves & flips Tough As Nails OOTA or Bulldog Breed getting crushed by Tough as Nails. Im going for Bulldog Breed on this 1.

HOT TIPS: Tornado (1), Gravity, X-Terminator (11) & Bulldog Breed (12)

2 must qualify for the final, I think X-Terminator will make it but I cant decide between Tornado or Gravity. This is really tough. What do you lot think?

Predictions

Id say X-Terminator and Gravity. Not really sure though.

Also, am I the only won to notice a pattern of the second seed usually going out in the last round of the semis?

[Guest]

Predictions

How can the 2nd seed be in the semis. Firestorms heat is next week.

[Guest]

Predictions

No, look;

In Series 2 (there were a few seeds then), Mortis, the 2nd seed (who DIDNT finish second!), was beaten by Panic Attack in the last round of the semi-finals.

In series 5, Pussycat was beaten by Firestorm in the last round of the semis.

In series 6, Bigger Brother was beaten by Terrorhurtz in the last round of the semis.

Predictions

Its just co-incidence. Like in the tag team, the reigning champs always get beat in round 1 by the eventual champs.

Predictions

My predictions

TORNADO (1) vs RAGING KNIGHTMARE
Tornado to push around and pit Raging Knightmare

DANTOMKIA (5) vs GRAVITY
Dantomkia to be OOTAd by Gravity

X-TERMINATOR (11) vs ST. AGRO
X-Terminator to grate the wheels with that deadly spinner.

BULLDOG BREED (12) vs TOUGH AS NAILS
Bulldog Breed to send TAN OOTA.

Predictions

Yes, but in series 4, Hypno-disc, the 2nd seed then, actually WON the last round of the semi-finals, so the pattern doesnt follow suit.

And if there HAD been seeds for Series 3, it wouldnt have followed suit either. Cassius 2 (who WOULD have been 2nd seed) didnt even get THAT FAR.

[Guest]

Predictions

Itll have been a hat-trick if it happens to Firestorm

If Wild Thing had got back a late attack, then Hypno-Disc probably wouldnt have gone through. Remember, there was only 1 point in it.

[Guest]

Predictions

I think that Gravity and Xterminator will get into the grand final, with bulldog breed and tornado making up the other two robots to get into round 2.

[pcbore]

Predictions

Chris, ALL of the late attacking was done by Wild Thing in that fight.

[dinowarrior]

Predictions

Yeah, but that doesnt explain Cassius 2.

Imagine if Robot Wars series 3 HAD had seeds. Cassius 2 would have been seeded 2, and they lost round 2. Your so called pattern doesnt work.

[Guest]

Predictions

I really dont think that patterns have much to do with who goes through. What does matter is that this looks to be one of the most entertaining semi finals yet.

[Guest]

Predictions

Yeah, but I still find this amusing;

In Series 3, Ming was knocked out in Round 1.
In Series 4, Ming was knocked out in Round 2.
In Series 5, Ming was knocked out in Round 1.
In Series 6, Ming was knocked out in Round 2.
In Series 7, Ming was knocked out in Round 1.

Predictions

Heres my predictions
First Semi Final
Raging Knightmare Vs Tornado(1)
Gotta tip Tornado to win but Knightmare may get a few flips in.

Dantomkia (5) Vs Gravity
Boy gravity has a good chance in this battle watch DTK fly but DTK may get a flip in.

St Agro Vs X-Terminator (11)

St argro will be X TERMINATED IN ABOUT 20 SECONDS!

Bulldog Breed (12) Vs Tough As Nails

If TAN gets its claws behined BB it just might push them in the pit but BB is a good flipper.


Next Round this is my predictions:

Torando(1) vs Gravity

This will be close but torando has more pushing power but gravity has the flipper. im backing gravity to edge it.


X terminator(11) vs Tough as Nails

XT this will be another X TERMINATED unless TAN get them clawed first.

Predictions

Actually it looks like Tornados using the drum against RK, so I think itll be closer than we thought. Still Tornado to win though.
