Series Final - Round 1
Fight 1
The winner of Heat E takes no prisoners. He destroys with every single solitary particle in him fixed on his target, and the particles in his flywheel even more so. Don't try running from him: he'll give you a constant headache! Can you stand up to him? He's...
ANEURYSM!!!
*applause*
You wouldn't want to walk alone at night after you've met this guy. Mightier than the savage beasts of prehistoric times, and sharper than the kunais of Old Japan, he'll cut up your throat, put it on a platter and serve it to himself! Put your hands together for...
WARRIOR SKF!!!
*applause*
Mighty meets mighty, spinning weapon meets spinning weapon. Too strong? You be the judge!
Roboteers, stand by...
Obelix Bulguous and Ancalagon the Black get to participate in this, the first of the Final fights.
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!
The Series Final begins! And already there's some action from the arena, let's go down there! Or, rather, let's just watch! Anyway it's Aneurysm making the first charge, and Warrior barely dodging it. Aneurysm moves in on the wedge, but is it high enough for Aneurysm to hit? It's now apparent that it is, for Aneurysm just landed a glancing blow and falls onto the wedge! Warrior flips! Aneurysm flies! And lands with a crash onto the flame pit, and shakes it off, and goes at Warrior again! Warrior retreats and before Aneurysm can catch him guns off and for the pit! Aneurysm is taken aback by this unexpected flight but comes back to reality (or whatever's nearest) and pursues his opponent. Warrior hits the pit release button, and tips up a bit. Aneurysm crashes into him from behind! CRASH!!!!! And we get a huge burst of sparks as a result of this giant collision, and Aneurysm apparently has not moved at all from that. Warrior, however, is propped up against the arena wall, with a cracked flywheel shell...WHAT?! It's over?! Now?! Aneurysm backs away and seems to have won the fight...and then he comes in again with the cutting disc and smashes Warrior with it! The underbelly of Warrior's flywheel takes a great gash, and Warrior lands back onto his wheels! He's back in! Can he win? Aneurysm reverses, so as to let Warrior have a little room, but in reality spinning his cutter back up. Warrior, with both weapons taken out, does the only thing he can do at this point: RAM! The top of Warrior's wedge connects with the cutter and again sparks fly, but the result is the same as last time: Aneurysm is thrown up onto the wedge! Warrior moves to deliver him to Ancalagon's CPZ, but Aneurysm drives off the wedge and away. Warrior immediately chases him down, but Aneurysm turns around and hitting Warrior's wedge turns right into the side of Warrior and tears into it! A panel goes flying! Warrior's reaction is the same: chase him down and deliver him to the pit or house robots. But Aneurysm, despite the weapon's speed, is quite nimble himself, and he easily dodges another desperate lunge from the Whyachi bot and tears into that same side that he tore into just earlier! Warrior is spun away but this time doesn't really receive any damage. Aneurysm nearly backs himself into Obelix's CPZ, and with a great heave flings himself across the arena towards Warrior, who has the wedge pointed at him again! CRASH!!! WAH! The wedge is gone! The wedge is gone! The wedge of Warrior SKF is completely gone. The flipper ram is still there, but the panel is gone! But Warrior has not been moved at all by the impact! In fact, he's driving right into Aneurysm, and has shoved him into the wall! Aneurysm is pinned there and can't escape. Warrior reverses and bores forward again but too late; Aneurysm gets away. But not too far away, for he's back on the attack with the cutter spinning wildly! Warrior hastily backs away, and right into Obelix! Obelix takes the initiative and brings down the hammer, which goes right through the part missing the wedge, hitting the ground. More importantly, it's about to become Aneurysm food. CRASH!!! The above words are ever true, as Obelix's hammer head goes flying several feet, landing with a clatter on the arena floor flipper. Aneurysm's cutter does not seem to have been stopped, and it's back at full speed again! Warrior tries to slide away to Obelix's left side, but it's his undoing, for Aneurysm advances at that exact moment. CRASH!!!!! And Warrior has taken a heavy blow to the inactive flywheel, which has been smashed up! The rim is almost entirely broken off! Ah, we forgot Ancalagon, who's at the scene, and pushes Aneurysm aside as he tries to get at Warrior. Warrior is still mobile, but backs up against the wall...and stops moving. Aneurysm butts in front of Ancalagon and delivers another devastating gash into Warrior's flywheel! The shell of the flywheel comes off, and that rim is about ready to fall off, too! The Watcher can't really get it because Obelix is blocking his way in. Oh! There's the lifting arm for the first time! Obelix is rear-ended and upended and out of the way! He rights himself, but heads back to his CPZ because he can't do any more damage. The Watcher starts counting Warrior out. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10! We have our first fight winner! And speaking of whom, Aneurysm comes in again and smashes into the exposed backside that was once Warrior's flywheel. Parts fly. I'm think I'm gonna be sick...Ancalagon crunches down into Warrior and drags him over to the floor flipper. Isn't Obelix's hammer head there? Yes, it is, and a second later FLIP! Warrior goes flying, and so does the head...OOTA! Warrior lands near the pit, which is still open, and Obelix bolts back out and rams him right into it.
CEASE!
Warrior SKF was indeed a courageous and strong one, but he couldn't match his strength with the opponent's. ANEURYSM ADVANCES TO ROUND 2!!!!

Fight 2
He's looking for blood, and he'll tear into the deepest part of your head to get it! This lizard is the baddest we've seen on the block yet, and it doesn't look like he's stopping now. Ladies and gentlemen, give a big hand for...
SALAMANDER III!!!
*applause*
The sea wasn't good enough for this guy, so he's come up here to fight! And fight he has, tossing his opponents into the dark abyss that is hell! Sheer power and force won't be enough to destroy this ocean-terror! Hear the call of...
AQUARIUS!!!
*applause*
Classic disc vs flipper! Two fight, one steps above. Let's get to it!
Roboteers, stand by...
Ready as always are Exa-Gore-Ic: AI and Tira-san.
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!
Aquarius starts off by advancing towards the disc of Salamander. Salamander advances towards Aquarius as well. We get an early flick of the flipper, and OOH! Salamander just tore through half of the flipper arm and sent it flying! Oh noes! But it doesn't seem like it stopped the main body of Aquarius, and the wedge drives Salamander into the wall. The part of the flipper that is attached to Aquarius gives a little flick, but Salamander is unmoved, and drives over the side of Aquarius and coming to rest upside-down. Aquarius removes himself from the wall, and resets his position. The wedgebot then drives himself towards his adversary but Salamander simply turns on the spot, parrying the charge and sticking the disc into the side of Aquarius! Actually, it looks like Salamander barely touched the top of the wedge panel on the front, but more damage has indeed been done to Aquarius as a dent in the armour has been made! A dent?! Alex is displeased that he only bent Aquarius and not ripped him wide open, but even more so when he sees that the blow was brushed off and Aquarius persistantly coming in! Hurriedly Salamander moves towards Aquarius, but Aquarius knows his foe now too well and suddenly stops. Salamander is scooped up onto the wedge and box rushed...or rather, axle rushed against the wall! Salamander thuds against the wall and bounces over Aquarius, who reverses quickly and is very slowly shoving Salamander from his spot. Salamander pushes back, and they grind to a halt, wheels burning the arena floor! It's another stand-off, and no Mexicans allowed! Suddenly, Salamander spins a bit, allowing Aquarius to roam a bit, and catches him in the other side with the disc, again barely. Again, a dent is caused, but Aquarius is not shocked by the hit and dives under Salamander. Salamander accelerates and drives off of Aquarius, and Aquarius ends up slamming himself into the wall! The axlebot closes in from behind, and both bots are in a reverse stand-off again! Neither bot can outpush the other backwards! Salamander spins again, this time holding one wheel against Aquarius, but at the same Aquarius reverses, forcing him back, and again we have a reverse stand-off! Aquarius jerks forward and slams himself against the arena wall. Salamander takes advantage of this and gets in a blow in the back, taking off a panel in a shower of sparks! Uh oh. Aquarius is spun away by the same blow, but again seems unaffected and goes in to give Salamander some more arena wall abuse. It finally sinks in Alex's head that Aquarius is trying to slam Salamander against the wall repeatedly to break something inside of the axlebot, rendering it immobile. Unfortunately for Aquarius, Salamander is heavily shockproofed, so it won't work. Aquarius doesn't seem to realize this, but slams Salamander against the wall again. Salamander is mashed but forces himself away from the wedgey pusher. Alex and Anthony share a look of hostility towards each other, and then, as if they meant to do it all along, both bots suddenly make a bolt for the pit release button. Aquarius gets there first and WHOA! Aquarius is stuck under the pit release button...which itself is pretty stuck on the wall this time! The pit opens, and Salamander nearly tumbles in. The disc bites into the back of Aquarius where the panel used to be. AHHHH!!! There's a huge quantity of smoke emanating from Aquarius' rear, and the wheels stop as this fight has evidently come to a close! Salamander does not move in for more destruction, but backs off and allows The Watcher to inspect the situation. The ref then, surely enough, commences the beginning of the end for Aquarius! 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!
CEASE!
Aquarius was the master of Heat A. He was not, however, the master of this fight, and is banished back to the sea. SALAMANDER III ADVANCES TO ROUND 2!!!!

Fight 3
The fell beasts of the Hades of old couldn't be a match to this vile scourge. What he lacks...wait, it doesn't look like he lacks anything. He's become more popular over the years, and he should be! He announces his own roarius chorus, for he's...
DIE-CERATOPS REINVERTUS!!!
*applause*
He's part Scottish, part Roman, and 100% cold steel! No other Scotsman or Roman can stand up to him, because he looks down on them! With the icy, sharp and deadly claw to match his attitude, he goes forth into the warzone! Don't you dare turn your back on...
CLAWDIUS DECIMUS MURDEROUS!!!
*applause*
In my opinion, I wouldn't be surprised if I saw Die-Ceratops in the pit by the end of this fight. But then that's just me. Enough talk!
Roboteers, stand by...
What's this?! A Robot Wars house robot back in here?! Yes, it's Sir Killalot! And he's teamed up with Taki-san as well! Well, this shall be interesting.
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!
Out comes Clawdius on the attack, already under the wedge of Die-Ceratops and crunching down! But no, for Die-Ceratops runs over the side across the base of the claw and away! Clawdius decides not to attack again, but instead decides to attack Sir Killalot! Taki is out of her CPZ in a rage and collides with Clawdius' side. Die-Ceratops immediately makes a beeline for Taki, who turns too late, and the 1t-force flipper sends the ninja flying over the fence! Egad! Sir Killalot is dragging Clawdius' who has the rear of the big guy, towards the pit! Die-Ceratops, again almost immediately, slides under Clawdius and flings him further into Killalot's backside! Killalot turns around and clamps his claw around the flipper! ACK! Sir Killalot is the mighty one indeed, having captured both of the competitors! He raises Die-Ceratops, and advances towards the arena wall...and drops Die-Ceratops over the wall, on top of Taki! The crowd is yelling "Killalot!" like crazy! And Sir Killalot seems to nod to their demand and opens the pit! Clawdius is unable to release his grip on Killalot, and Killalot does the suicide dive and backs straight into the pit! AHHHH!!! Steve seems to retch at this. What a sad victory...
CEASE!
Both competitors faced the wrath of the oldcomer Sir Killalot, but though Die-Ceratops Reinvertus went out first, Clawdius was crushed. BUT CLAWDIUS DECIMUS MURDEROUS STILL ADVANCES TO ROUND 2!!!

Fight 4
Sworn to destroy everything he senses in any way possible, he does not show any kind of remorse what-so-ever. The only delight he feels is seeing the path of destruction he carves, and the number of mutilated robots he has come across. Give it all up for...
ENTER THE MAY TRACKS!!!
*applause*
He devours the robots of the sea and the land! He's no newcomer, and he's no pushover. Instead, he pushes you over and begins to beat the hell outta you! Give a huge hand to the last quarter-finalist of the tournament...
ORKA MK4!!!
*applause*
Time to settle this fight!
Roboteers, stand by...
Double Big Mac teams up with dear old Matilda for this fight!
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!
So begins the last quarter-final! It's Orka who charges out first, collide with EtMT and both wedges meet with a crash. But it's EtMT who gets in underneath Orka and carries him to the wall...NO! Orka does not go out! He bounces off the railing and lands on top of EtMT! EtMT moves backwards and flips Orka again. Orka topples and is inverted near the arena wall, but as EtMT moves in again, Orka re-inverts himself overtop of EtMT and rides off the back and away. Oi, get back into your CPZ, Matilda! Both robots, dancing around, trying to get a little nudge in on their sides. Nothing seems to be working at the moment, and one hates to think how close this fight now is after Orka being tossed around for about 5 seconds straight! Ah, there's finally some advantage, as Orka is up underneath EtMT and has clamped him! Look at this: straight in, scoop underneath the side, straight in with a push, the claw digging in, and hoisting up EtMT in to the air! Spectacular stuff! And now Orka is in control of this fight! What will he do with EtMT now? No, no, I think I'll this damned thing over to Matilda, who takes out one of the sides, of EtMT! The flywheel grinding into the side, and removing the panel! And still Orka has its mighty hold on the Matrixbot! In comes...DBM with the spinning hammers! I'm not too sure whether EtMT can escape from this grave and unusual punishment...AND IN TROUBLE HERE IS THE WATCHER AS HE SUDDENLY SEEMS TO HAVE CAUGHT FIRE! The ref is currently engulfed in flames, and Matilda is coming towards him, oh dear oh dear, what's happened to you mate? DBM is still spinning away, and Orka pushes EtMT right into the incoming hammer-maelstrom! CRASH!!!!! AHHHH!!! The exposed side...of EtMT is just completely ripped apart, the innards leaking out, the tires completely stationary, and the life has run out! And Orka seems to be having trouble with his own clamping mechanism as he cannot release the dead flipper onto the floor! DBM, coming in again, and Orka running away towards the pit, and collides with the flaming referee! Matilda doesn't like this one bit and gives a little nick to Orka with the tusks, and Orka is finally dislodged from EtMT! Ironically, he was released on top of the pit, and Orka slams himself into the pit release button. EtMT descends to his grave!
CEASE!
A chaotic melee out there, and with The Watcher in a fiery mess, and the remains of Enter the May Tracks in the pit, there can only be one winner... ORKA MK4 ADVANCES TO ROUND 2!!!

Salamander III VS. Aneurysm
Roboteers, stand by!
There's Sgt. Bash in one of the CPZs! And joining him is the not-so-loveable Tira-san.
3! 2! 1! ACTIVATE!!!!!
Here we go! It's Aneurysm, straight in on the attack, and already HITTING THE BLADE OF SALAMANDER!!! CRASH!!!!!!! And that was not a very wise decision, for now Aneurysm has his own blade stop completely, and Salamander is spun away, but getting his own disc spinning up there! Aneurysm turns tail and advances towards Sgt. Bash in the CPZ, and Tira is immediately out to cut him off and cut him open! Salamander comes in at Aneurysm from behind, and Aneurysm is boxed in slightly, meaning he can only try and go to the left! But that's not possible because now Sgt. Bash has shunted him into Salamander's disc! CRASH!!!!! Oh dear oh dear, the back panel of Aneurysm scarred up and torn, the innards not really exposed yet, though, and so he seems to be okay for the moment. Now he's away, and Tira returns to her CPZ in anger. Sgt. Bash is not really moving right now, and not really doing much of anything right now, and indeed RIGHT NOW he seems to be immobilized! What's happened? Well we'll find out later in the pits maybe, and let's get back to the fight. Aneurysm coming in on the attack, having a hit on the axle hub but not doing any damage to it. Salamander seems to be in control of this fight, and is showing it, giving a glancing blow to Aneurysm with the disc and cutting out another piece of panel out of the side! Aneurysm does not appear to be stable, he's moving around all over the place - THE BLADE IS WORKING AGAIN!!! Something got...knocked out of place in the beginning of the fight and now it's right where it belongs, and Aneurysm is right back where he belongs, in the fight! Salamander is not too happy about this, and is even less so when Aneurysm is coming towards him! Seeming to sigh, Salamander approaches him head-on again. CRASH!!!!!!! WHAT A BLOW THAT WAS! The message there was "I'll be seeing you later!" to Aneurysm, who is now crumpled! Let's have a look at this; straight in, huge collision, and the weapon is Aneurysm is again immobile! Yet it seems that Salamander's has taken absolutely no damage at all! This is most surprising, but Aneurysm can no longer sit here in shock; if he wants to beat Salamander, he'd better act aggressively. He box-rushes Salamander's disc. CRASH!!!!! OH MY GOODNESS SOMETHING CAME FLYING OFF THE BLADE...OF ANEURYSM! Yes indeed, a piece of the weapon has been busted off and smashed across the floor, resting several feet away! Yet Aneurysm himself had not moved, but is doing so now, already shoving Salamander, stopping the disc and ramming the axlebot right into the arena wall! Sgt. Bash is nearby, and is not completely immobile, able to give a lick of flame and open the claw, but his wheels aren't moving! Salamander away, look at that disc, so tough and durable, it must have been used in previous wars as a bombshell! Aneurysm slamming into Salamaner's axle, missing the disc, throwing Salamander for a loop. Salamander spinning around, delivers another blow to the back of Aneurysm, and a huge gash, has been made across the back of the Nirvanabot, though still it seems to be okay for the most part. Aneurysm again coming in, stopping the disc again and again ramming Salamander straight into Tira's CPZ. Tira gives Salamander a cutting blow and takes off that hub on the side of the axle! Well bless me, it looks like a fireworks display in the CPZ because many colour sparks have been emitted in that collision! Salamander, trapped in the CPZ. Aneurysm shoving him right into the corner there, and The Watcher coming in, and shoves them both away. Salamander is away again, and blade spinning up to speed!
10...9...8...7...
Here's Salamander with a great hit to Aneurysm's side, and look at the damage! A whole chunk of the armour has been ripped right out!
...6...5...4...
Aneurysm rams Salamander right away and takes him right into Sgt. Bash, almost knocking the sergeant over!
...3...2...1...
Tira flies over but not quick enough. Salamander whacks Aneurysm with his stopped disc.
CEASE!
What a fight! Let's take a look at this while the judges make their decision!
Salamander III - Aneurysm
Aggression - (3-2) Damage - (4-1) Style - (4-1) Control - (4-1) Strategy - (4-1)
Total = 19 - 6
The road was long, but only one can take the road to the end. Despite his successes, Aneurysm was not that one. SALAMANDER III ADVANCES TO THE GRAND FINAL!!!

Orka MK4 VS. Clawdius Decimus Murderous
Roboteers, stand by!
It's Shunt indeed! And Obelix Bulguous indeed! Indeedily do dah dey, ah, never mind, right to it!
3! 2! 1! ACTIVATE!!!!!
Orka flying out almost before activate was called, and right up into the claw of Clawdius! But Clawdius finds that his quarry is too fast, and Orka is out of his grasp before the claw can descend into the gut! Furiously Clawdius pursues his opponent but Orka spins around and goes head-on again with Clawdius! Clawdius avoids it and Orka goes flying by. Clawdius aims for the sides, but no; Orka reverses by almost as fast! Clawdius makes an effort to try and outmaneouver Orka but the speed of the Behemoth-like bot is defeating him alone! Clawdius tries to different tack and reverses away towards the pit release. Orka flies head-on at Clawdius again and gets underneath the wedge! Chris hurriedly hits the flip button, and Clawdius is inverted! The pit is not open, though, and so Orka cannot carry out his plan to grapple and pit Clawdius. To make matters worse, Clawdius has righted himself from his inverted position! Orka tries another frontal assault but just ends up going onto Clawdius' wedge again. Clawdius tries the sink the claw down but Orka evades the trap again! Clawdius rams Orka with the claw down and buries him into the wall! Orka backs away from the wall, and goes at Clawdius' sides but misses! Whoa, look out! You almost went into Shunt's CPZ there Orka! Clawdius opens the claw again and advances on Orka. Orka rams Clawdius head-on again and this time Clawdius sinks the claw down before Orka even gets into the hold! It's worked! Orka is grappled! And the claw is sinking deeper and deeper into the hide of Orka, piercing through the top armour and making a ghastly rent! Now that Orka is his, the victory is his, or is it? Clawdius backs towards the pit release button, but wait a minute! The claw opens, and Orka escapes! The claw sinks down again, and Steve is working the controls to see if the weapon is working. Indeed it does seem to be, but Orka rams him again from the front and both scoop and wedge collide, neither getting under the other! Clawdius pushes Orka back, and straight into the wall! But this forces Clawdius' wedge onto the scoop, and with a quick lift, Clawdius finds the world upside-down-y again! Orka hastily tries to use his own claw but Clawdius pops himself off of the ground back onto his wheels! Another quick escape by the lord! This is highly frustrating for Orka! And now Clawdius is preparing for a full-on assault! Orka greets his opponent with another collision, and Clawdius again gets under Orka, but instead of clamping him, he takes him right into the pit release button! WHAM right into the trigger, and the claw and pit sink at the same time! Orka is grappled! Steve beams at the crowd, and Clawdius does the only thing he can do at this point - he flings Orka into the pit!
CEASE!
Orka proved to be a match for several robots, yet this time he proved otherwise at the test. He had not the mettle of his opponent. CLAWDIUS DECIMUS MURDEROUS ADVANCES TO THE GRAND FINAL!!!!!

3rd-Place Playoff
Aneruysm VS Orka MK4
Fighting for the right to claim 3rd seed in the Crash & Burn Tournament are these two galliant fighters, coming back from their previous losses to have a go at each other. Let's get down to the arena to find out the victor!
Roboteers, stand by!
Ah, it's Dead Metal filling in for Growler who had a breakdown in the pits earlier, and Double Whamlet joins him for the house robots.
3! 2! 1! ACTIVATE!!!!!
Orka out immediately, crashing into Aneurysm - whoa-ho! Aneurysm wobbling around a little bit, and Orka in on the attack, and grappling him - no, Aneurysm evades the arm and backs away, trying to stay away from that scoop...on the front of Orka. Orka in again, chasing down his adversary - AHHHH!!! Aneurysm has just collided with the arena wall disc-first, and the blade just flew right off! Oh how sad! And now it's slim pickin's for Orka's scoop and axe, and Aneurysm...does not seem to be moving that much, crawling around, and Orka collides with his back, and in comes the scoop, and the axe, and the lift, and I think we know how this fight is going to end...oh yes the crowd's chanting "Pit! Pit! Pit!" as well, they know how it's going to end! Orka rams his captured foe into the pit release button, opening the, ahem, pit pit pit, and shove shove shove, in goes Aneurysm - Orka has claimed 3rd seed in the Crash & Burn Tournament and now he's heading over to Double Whamlet's CPZ and tossing the housie over! Dead Metal is out of his CPZ and out at Orka, but Orka has grappled Whamlet and is shoving him into Dead Metal's own claws! Dead Metal backs away...and mistakeningly into the pit, right on top of Aneurysm! And Orka piles Whamlet on top of him and that's that for this short playoff.
CEASE!!!
Aneurysm...caused insanity in the membrane, caused destruction in the arena, but this time in the arena, he caused his own self-destruction, and therefore has lost this match, going to his place as the 4th seed. ORKA MK4 BECOMES THE 3RD SEED OF THE CRASH & BURN TOURNAMENT!!!

This is the final battle of the tournament, and only one of these brave robowarriors will claim the crown.
The Crash & Burn Tournament Final Battle
Clawdius Decimus Murderous had a smashing time here. He barreled through his opponents like a king on acid. Gigabyte, Axe-O-Lotl, ArchAngel, Die-Ceratops, and Orka all fell to his sharp and icy claw. But he's not done. He will never be satisfied until he claims his rightful crown, as he thinks it is. But will it be his, or will Clawdius go the way of the traitorous Roman conspirators?
Salamander III was just plain awesome. Underachieving in almost every tournament he entered, he's stunned the audience by reducing Disc-O-Inferno, IDSFA, Killotine, Aquarius, and Aneurysm to metal fillings. And that's not enough for our reptile fiend. Once more he will enter the arena and fight his way to victory...or to death, if he makes one false move. Is this Salamander hardy enough, or will it be fodder for Clawdius' claw?
Roboteers, stand by!
Oh goodness me, four house robots during this match! Mr. Psycho, Sir Killalot, Taki-san, and Double Big Mac all coming in to watch this, the last fight of all, and possibly take part...we'll see! Let's go!
3! 2! 1! ACTIVATE!!!!!!!
Final battle commenceth! Out comes Clawdius, deadly and guileful, looking to sink that claw into the innards of Salamander, but Salamander evades this chance by stacking himself up against the arena wall. Clawdius is no fool to dive into such a trap, and decides to open the pit. Salamander's rage is triggered and he bolts out to get Clawdius' attention. This he gets, but not in a good way! Clawdius indeed turns, but slides away from the charge, and aims for the axle! But no, for Salamander spins around and out of harm's away as well, and goes for a disc hit on Clawdius! CRASH!!! The side's taken some damage, and Clawdius has been thrown for a loop, but thankfully lands back on his wheels! Salamander comes forward again forgetting that his blade is stopped and bumps Clawdius on the other side panel near the front. Clawdius wakes up and swivels around to possibly get that claw around the back and clamp, but Salamander eludes Clawdius' attempts to grapple him. A little frustrated now, Clawdius hunts him down and tackles him with the front wedge into the arena wall. Salamander tilts upwards, and with the disc spinning again that's not too good! But the bottom of the disc scrapes Clawdius' beak and slows down, and gradually is stopped. Clawdius sinks down the claw again and he's got him! Umm...oh dear. Suddenly, Sir Killalot comes out of nowhere and tackles Clawdius from the back! ...ah wait, they were fighting near a CPZ, weren't they? Anyway this rough shove loosens clawdius' grip on Salamander, who again escapes. Steve glares at Sir Killalot before Clawdius makes another attempt, diving straight into the spinning disc of Salamander! CRASH!!! And I must say that Clawdius' chances in this final are pretty slim now that's he's lost his front wedge! Look at that; as soon as the disc connects with the wedge, the panel flies right off! Talk about power! But Clawdius seems to disregard this completely, tackling Salamander again and ramming him right into Mr. Psycho waiting in one of the CPZs! Psycho brings down the hammer and hits Salamander straight on the left wheel! Ooh, I wonder how this is going to effect him...Psycho brings down the grappling arm but Salamander is already away and YES THERE IS SOME DAMAGE! Salamander's left tire is flat! He's hobbling around the arena...the power of that hammer does its job again. New life has been given to Clawdius as he hurtles again into Salamander, and misses him only by a fraction, glancing off of the left side and spinning Salamander around. Salamander now has its weapon spun up and buries it into Clawdius' left side again! CRASH!!! An even bigger hole has been given to the panel, and if you look closely you can see one of the S28-300 Magmotors powering Clawdius! Clawdius is again resilient to the hit and rams Salamander into the wall again! Salamander struggles to get away, and suddenly Sir Killalot, again nearby, interrupts the moment with his own claw, and grabs Clawdius! What's going on?! Clawdius breaks free, but does not pursue Killalot, knowing that he's outnumbered 4 to 1. This, however, allows Salamander to escape AGAIN. Steve gives another glare to the knight and Clawdius goes on the attack again. Salamander is not doing too well out there with that left tire, he's just wobbling around, and missing the pit release button which he meant to hit...Clawdius takes advantage and piles Salamander into the wall again. Salamander escapes AGAIN before the claw can sink down. Furious with this onslaught of quick getaways, Clawdius himself hits the pit release button, and for the final time this tournament, the gate of robot hell descends into the depths. Salamander comes in but misses Clawdius with the disc. Clawdius tackles Salamander again from the side, and drives him up the exposed wedge in his claw. But in doing so the disc travels along the side and connects with the claw! CRASH!!! The crowd gasps as a piece of the claw is sheared off and hits DBM, ricocheting off and landing in the pit. Well at least the pit claimed something. Anyway, now Clawdius is really disabled by this blow...
10...9...8...7...
Clawdius allows Salamander to go free, and Salamander nearly ends up driving himself down the pit!
6...5...4...
Clawdius comes in but it's too late, and Salamander is away, wobbling towards the flame pit in a desperate attempt.
3...2...1...

CEASE!!!
Goodness me! What a match! This is a final for sure! Let's take a look at this big melee while we get the judges decision!
