Terrorhurtz (15) vs. Boxed In vs. Mass Disctruction Ultimate 4
Terrorhurtz (15) is the only seeded UK realie in this competition. Martyn Forsyth entered John Reid's creation into the C&BT2, and it was a good idea. Thz sports his famous rack-and-pinion style double-headed axe, the most powerful one in Robot Wars, powered by 2 2kg CO2 tanks. It gives out about 900kg of force on every hit! It also has front and side skirts, and 12mm polycarbonate armour. C&BT1: Smashed Ripper into tiny pieces and also beat crowd favourite Wedge Devolution into submission, only to get tossed right to the pit by Enter the May Tracks in the Heat B Final.
Boxed In ain't pretty. Nor is it meant to be; it's got FOUR LEM200s powering it, plus very light batteries, all run at 24V! It has a single 1kg spike at the front, the end point very thin so it can push out 11 tonnes of force at full speed (15.1mph)! It is also invertible too, and uses treads for movement. It may look like only a box with skirts, but Matty Fowler's devil will box you in if you're not careful. The best you could do is to try and exploit its 6mm titanium armour. C&BT1: Did not enter.
Mass Disctruction Ultimate 4 returns to the Crash & Burn Tournament to give Aaron Knight an added boost. It's basically Y-Pout, Cyclonebot, and a keg of Captain Morgan's rum mixed together to give out this indescribable freak of nature. :-O It has 3-4mm Hardox armour, and a sub-sonic tip speed of 480mph. It is quite compact though and hitting wedges frontally will result in some huge air. C&BT1: In Heat C, he destroyed The Crashing Bore and Cassius Chrome, and then destroyed Cassius Chrome again next round but 13th seed Wedga Revo 2.0 dumped him into the pit about 10 seconds after.
Roboteers, stand by...
Booth 1: Mass Disctruction Ultimate 4, Terrorhurtz Booth 2: Boxed In
Double Big Mac looks as tasteless as ever, as does Exa-Gore-Ic: AI.
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!
Terrorhurtz is away towards the pit release button, crashing into it, as Boxed In bolts out of his spot and straight into the half-spunup MDU4! CRASH!! Already we have a blow, as Boxed In flies about halfway across the arena, the spike slightly bent! MDU4 is also belted away and Terrorhurtz flies at the translational spinner, immediately tackling him before he can spin up, and stuffing MDU4 into the wall, and gives him an axe pounding! WHACK! MDU4's top armour however withstands the blow. Boxed In rushes at MDU4 again, and the spike slams into MDU4's side, though it being bent doesn't cause nearly as enough damage as it should and Aaron's bot is rather grateful for this, slammed away from Terrorhurtz and is now spinning up to speed. Terrorhurtz apparently has the same idea as Boxed In, and rushes the now fully spun up MDU4! CRASH!!!! The wide grin on Aaron's face tells the tale here: Terrorhurtz's front end has been completely torn open, skirts gone, Lexan bent, and Terrorhurtz has been flung all the way across the arena, all from a single hit, but MDU4 is again thrown by the force of his own hit! Boxed In wants to spare Terrorhurtz and goes to ram MDU4 full on hoping to get him out first, only to find that he's nearly back at full speed again! CRASH!!! The spike is gone now, flung OOTA actually, and Boxed In is spun around like a baton, and MDU4 retains about half his tip speed and is spinning up again! Terrorhurtz, it seems, is not dead yet and turning to use his rear goes to backslam into MDU4, yet it's Boxed In who comes in first, charging headlong into the demonic spinner! CRASH!!! Boxed In is launched again, the front end bashed into the vapourbot's chassis, but again thrusting MDU4 in the opposite direction and into the wall; this allows Terrorhurtz to bash into MDU4 again with the back end, without fearing a spin-up, and pin him! Boxed In gets back into the fight and with his rear end slams into MDU4 as well, and the spinner is up against it here now! They're pushing him towards a CPZ, and Terrorhurtz's axe comes down! WHACK! Again no effect! Boxed In decides that it's had enough of Terrorhurtz's interference and pushes past the axebot, and backslams MDU4 into the wall! WHAM! MDU4 bounces off and away from the wall, exactly what Aaron was hoping for. Terrorhurtz is moving more slowly now, and Boxed In gets an idea and tries to get under Terrorhurtz but the rear static forks deny him his wish. MDU4 is back at full speed now, so the next hit could decide it! Terrorhurtz slides away, but Boxed In follows him and shoves him into the wall! As Terrorhurtz tries to push Boxed In away, the spinning "Vortex of Destruction" approaches! Boxed In tries to turn and ram, but MDU4 is way too close!!! CRASH!!!! Apparently 480mph is a good tip speed, because it has sent Boxed In not only into the wall, but bouncing diagonally off of it and into the other wall! The side has been almost completely ripped open. Of course, this once again means that MDU4 has sent himself backwards...AND RIGHT INTO DBM'S CPZ!!! CRASH!!! MDU4 is mashed away like a pinball, one of the three sides seriously dented! Terrorhurtz bravely charges MDU4 again...and it doesn't look like MDU4 can get up to full speed! CRASH! Nonetheless, it's a hit, as Terrorhurtz is sent spinning away, the rear taking a rip in the Lexan. Boxed In seems to have only his right side drive working...Terrorhurtz turns and rams Boxed In instead, and slams him into the arena wall. MDU4...can't spin up that well now, is something wrong? Terrorhurtz lashes out his axe! WHACK! Boxed In's top armour is badly dented! Matty Fowler looks nervous in the control booth, as Boxed In is unable to get away from Terrorhurtz! WHACK! Another hit and Boxed In's top armour is getting...boxed in! It seems MDU4 is having some problems of its own, and Terrorhurtz goes forward...very slowly. Well, all three bots are very much damaged here...Terrorhurtz's damaged front end is also beginning to take its toll on him. Boxed In...seems to be having a hard time moving its other tires now...The Watcher is coming over to have a look. Aaron steers MDU4 over towards Boxed In, hardly spun up enough to cause much damage as Terrorhurtz slams into them. He gets spun around a little but that's all that's done as Terrorhurtz disregard the front end and tackle MDU4's temporarily-immobilized spinning body and try to shove it around...it's more mobile than Boxed In, however, as the rambot is now completely stationary! The Watcher is out of standby mode, and into countdown mode! 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!
CEASE!
Boxed In got rocked by a something like a hurricane. Terrorhurtz (15) and Mass Disctruction Ultimate 4 advance to Round 2!

Baldur Gamma vs. Cyclone Force 2.5 vs. NSBFR-X
Baldur Gamma is so compact you could fit it in a beer cooler. It's also Alex Holt's toughest machine, with 5mm titanium kevlar over a very thick Hardox chassis. At the front is a lifting scoop that can lift about its own weight, but it's more than just a weapon. It has about 40mm of titanium foam added to its heavy shockproofing to absorb heavy hits, with a 5mm hardox plate overtop. This means that it has over 50mm of armour in front, and with LEM drive, should be practically invulnerable to anything! ...really? It looks like it could be flipped easily... C&BT1: Did not enter.
Cyclone Force 2.5 is Christopher Mason's chameleon bot with many gimmicks, but for this battle it will use the Storm 2-like lifter that can lift 190kgs. It's also got a body shape and drive system like Storm 2's, and 7mm titanium armour. It can go at 25mph, and is completely invertible. However being invertible means axes and crushers can find its tires... C&BT1: Did not enter.
NSBFR-X is Frank Goacher's chameleon bot. He DOES have a spinning bar, a 5kg one to be exact that spins at 1500rpm. Its shape is an invertible box wedge with rounded sides, plus side and rear skirts. It has 5mm titanium armour and its 4W LEM-drive gives it a top speed of 20mph but it doesn't perform as well in melees as it should. It is invertible, though, which should help, even with the spinning bar. C&BT1: Got flipped OOTA by Y4 in Heat A's first round.
Roboteers, stand by...
Booth 1: NSBFR-X, Cyclone Force 2.5 Booth 2: Baldur Gamma
Double Whamlet will give unwary robots a whammy of a time with his axes, as will Taki-san with her electric wedge and rear cutting disc.
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!
Cyclone Force is immediately away and straight into Baldur Gamma, who is unable to get under the lifter and is thrown up onto it. NSBFR-X rushes in on Cyclone Force with the spinning bar, applying his tactics immediately. CRASH! It's a deflecting blow but it still manages to dent the 7mm titanium of Cyclone Force; nonetheless NSBFR-X spins himself away. Cyclone Force himself hasn't moved from the impact, and is being pushed into the wall! Up comes the lifter! WHAM! Baldur is lifted and smashed into the wall with severe force! NSBFR-X rushes Cyclone Force again with the bar spun up. CRASH! This time there is damage caused, but minimal only! A small rip in the rear of Cyclone Force is made, and NSBFR-X is only jolted back a few inches. Cyclone Force reverses into Frank's bot and starts to push him back, only to find Baldur at his side, and the scoop gets under the side! Baldur's wheels grind as he starts to shove Cyclone Force across the arena and all the way right to the wall with tremendous speed! WHAM!! Chris' bot is hammered harshly and flies off the wall, landing on his back! This only means he can't use the lifter though, as Cyclone Force runs both ways up. But NSBFR-X is about to let him feel a taste of cold steel! CRASH!! The same side that Baldur attacked earlier takes it this time, dented badly, as Cyclone Force is spun away. NSBFR-X hardly moves from the impact and rues it as Baldur comes flying in for an attack on him this time. Failing to penetrate the side skirt the ram sends NSBFR-X teetering in the opposite direction slightly. This allows Cyclone Force however to get an attack in on the rear. A ram into the back of NSBFR-X, but still not going anywhere. NSBFR-X rolls forward and tries to turn to get at Baldur's side, only to find the scoop there anyway. CRASH! Baldur takes the hit and is completely unharmed, other than being buffetted back a few feet. NSBFR-X however and buffetted back several feet this time, unable to maintain his ground! Cyclone Force decides to try and right himself so he can use the lifter properly. He turns to face the wall, and drives right at it, raising the lifter to lift him off the ground a split-second before, and...WHAM! He jumps up, and back down right side up! NSBFR-X has not been idle however and escaping Baldur attacks Cyclone Force's front end again. Cyclone Force greets the spinning bar immediately. CRASH! Another small dent, now on the front armour, but it's again deflective, sending NSBFR-X away and straight into Baldur's scoop! It's obvious that Alex is quite pleased by this as Baldur scoops up NSBFR-X and craters him into the wall! WHAM!! NSBFR-X imitates what happened to Cyclone Force, spinning away, tilting, and dropping back down onto his back! He is also invertible though and really, nothing changes. However Cyclone Force has got at his rear, and this time penetrates the skirt. NSBFR-X tries to turn and attack but is blocked by the lifter, and it begins to lift as NSBFR-X is pushed and lifted straight into the wall! WHAM! NSBFR-X is again rammed with great force, and flies off, looking a little battered. It's Baldur though that finally has had enough and reverses into the pit release button, opening that damned hole. Cyclone Force goes after NSBFR-X again and meets that spinning bar once more! CRASH!! It's apparent that there is quite some damage caused, as Cyclone Force's front end has been really mangled! The 7mm titanium got torn right in, but still Cyclone Force doesn't seem to be quite concerned with the damage dealt! In fact, he's ramming right into NSBFR-X again, and stopping the hardly spun-up bar slams into him and uses the lifter to lift up NSBFR-X and again slam him ala Storm II into the wall! WHAM!! Baldur gets back into the fight by slamming into Cyclone Force's side, but Chris quickly backs his machine away...to find Baldur chasing him down! However it's clear that it's not so good for Alex as the scoop again can't fight the ground clearance of the lifter, and Cyclone Force repeats what he did with the now shaken NSBFR-X: SLAM! WHAM! Baldur is pounded against the wall fiercely and bounces away! NSBFR-X gets his bearings back and spins his weapon up, but will it be too late?
10...9...8...7...
Baldur is also recovering, but manages to attack NSBFR-X's side, sliding under it and taking him across the arena...to the wall opposite! WHAM!
6...5...4...
Cyclone Force chases after the both of them, and gets under Baldur's rear as NSBFR-X goes flying by.
3...2...1...
Baldur is lifted up but falls back down, and smoke is starting to spout from NSBFR-X...
CEASE!
Good fight, that was! Ramming good fun! Judges, results please!
Baldur Gamma - Cylcone Force 2.5 - NSBFR-X
Style = 1/5 - 2/5 - 2/5 Control = 2/5 - 2/5 - 1/5 Damage = 2/5 - 1/5 - 2/5 Aggression = 2/5 - 2/5 - 1/5 Strategy = 2/5 - 2/5 - 1/5
Total = 9/25 - 9/25 - 7/25
NSBFR-X gets the whole nine yards. Baldur Gamma and Cyclone Force 2.5 advance to Round 2!

Terrorhurtz (15) vs. Cyclone Force 2.5
Terrorhurtz (15) barely survived the first round, but Mass Disctruction Ultimate 4 killed off Boxed In first.
Cyclone Force 2.5 sent out NSBFR-X on a judges decision when tying Baldur Gamma for 1st spot.
Roboteers, stand by...
Booth 1: Terrorhurtz Booth 2: Cyclone Force 2.5
Taki-san returns again, but flanked by Ancalagon the Black this time.
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!
Both bots are out of their spots immediately, and Cyclone Force being the quicker slams into Terrorhurtz with the disc! CRASH! Terrorhurtz lurches around, a small dent in its front end, but nothing too serious yet, and so turns back to face Cyclone Force, to find the Storm-shaped bot retreating to spin its blade back up! Hurriedly Terrorhurtz gears towards the disc, and stops it before it can achieve deadly speeds. Cyclone Force thus is shoved back into the wall, tilted slightly. Down comes the axe...striking floor! Cyclone Force had not been idle and shifted to the right to avoid the axe, and gets away to spin up its disc. As Terrorhurtz chases him down, retracting the axe, Cyclone Force reverses into the pit release button, opening the pit once again. Terrorhurtz does not meet his front but tries to slide an attack at the side. A little sloppily, however, as Cyclone Force merely turns and catches the side! CRASH!!! The Series 6 Grand Finalist is sent flying by the sheer brute force of that disc, also sustaining a wider gash in the polycarbonate armour! Out comes Cyclone Force from the wall, Chris looking happy that his machine inflicted some damage, but Martyn isn't going to give in just yet. Terrorhurtz comes flying into the fray, forcing Cyclone Force to avoid the charge so his disc can reach maximum potential but he doesn't get the chance! The front wedge of Terrorhurtz finds its path to Cyclone Force's side and the 15th seed's axe flies down into Cyclone Force's top armour! It slams into the 7mm titanium armour and bounces off, actually causing hardly any damage, but the axe comes down again, and ...again, no damage, and Cyclone Force escapes. Terrorhurtz chases after him, intent on beating that titanium into a thin pulp, but he had failed to notice that Cyclone Force's disc had reached full speed during his own attack, and now it comes back to bite him as Chris turns his bot around and drives it into Terrorhurtz's front wedge! CRASH!!! Martyn is dismayed, as Terrorhurtz is flung across the arena, one of the panels making up the wedge ripped right off! Cyclone Force hunts him down again, disc already 3/4 of the way up to speed, but then Terrorhurtz flies at him with the rear wedge, right out of the blue! CRASH! It's Terrorhurtz that takes the blow but it's Cyclone Force that's worse off here as Terrorhurtz has not taken any damage from that blow, nor had he been moved at all, and now throwing him up near the axe head smashes Cyclone Force into the wall! WHAM! Chris tries desperately to manoeuvre his machine away from the rampaging axebot but he's trapped against the wall, and the axe hits from reverse! WHACK! The 7mm titanium again withstands the blow but a tiny dent is now made this time, maybe not too visible, and the axe comes down again - oh! The axe shaft hit Cyclone Force's side, stopping Terrorhurtz's attack? What an interesting turn of events! Martyn seems to realize this too and moves Terrorhurtz forward a little, but in doing so Cyclone Force makes his getaway, riding off of the edge of the rear and away! It seems Terrorhurtz is becoming tired of this assault, as he is not really in a hurry to finish this, moving rather lamely across the arena...but Cyclone Force is, and that deadly disc smashes into Terrorhurtz's front end! CRASH!!! Cyclone Force must be impressed with itself, as Terrorhurtz is again knocked away, hit in the exact same front spot as before, devoid of the wedge, and the polycarbonate is sliced up brutally! Chris backs his machine away from the 15th seed, to find that he might not need to do much more to win, as Terrorhurtz moves with even less agility than before! Martyn is quite displeased with this result, but even more so when he sees Cyclone Force barge in with the disc again! Terrorhurtz tries to dodge the attack but at this point it's...pointless! CRASH!!! It's the other side of the front that takes it, but that wedge takes the blow, though getting smashed up in the process. Terrorhurtz charges forward to try and take advantage but Cyclone Force is much quicker by now and backs off to spin up his disc for an attempt at a killing blow. Martyn decides to rely on the pit and Terrorhurtz moves towards it, but Cyclone Force again rushes in, disc back up at speed, right into the untorn side! CRASH!!! The blow sends Terrorhurtz spinning into the wall, past the pit release button, and coming to a halt between Taki-san's CPZ and the pit! Terrorhurtz does not seem to be moving now...no, it isn't! Martyn frantically works the controls but nothing seems to be working...and resignedly puts it down as The Watcher comes near and starts counting Terrorhurtz out. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10! And it's now over and out for Terrorhurtz, as Taki confirms by shunting him down the pit.
CEASE!
Terrorhurtz will be terribly hurtin' in the mornin'. Cyclone Force 2.5 advances to the Heat H final!

Mass Disctruction Ultimate 4 vs. Baldur Gamma
Mass Disctruction Ultimate 4 ripped apart both of his opponents before almost bowing under his own power. Terrorhurtz joined him while Boxed In...broke apart.
Baldur Gamma tied Cyclone Force 2.5 in a judges decision, which sent NSBFR-X home to sulk.
Roboteers, stand by...
Booth 1: Baldur Gamma Booth 2: Mass Disctruction Ultimate 4
Asterix Heroicus spins around like a twister on steroids in his CPZ. Tira-san's blade spins slowly, almost ominously...
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!
Baldur Gamma comes FLYING right out of his spot...to meet a half-spun-up MDU4! CRASH!!! Baldur is sent flying right across the arena and into the far wall, right near the spinner button, seemingly taking the blow on the front well. However MDU4 is also sent flying, and in his case it's not so good, as it's right at Tira-san's CPZ! The house bot gives one of MDU4's three sides a taste of her blade! CRASH! The 4mm hardox takes the blow well, but it also sends MDU4 flying...RIGHT INTO BALDUR'S SCOOP! The green and purple sparks have hardly faded when Baldur cradles MDU4 into the scoop, and lifts it up, and MDU4 is slammed into and on top of Tira, Baldur crashing into them a split-second later! Asterix flies out as though that was a signal, and smashes into Baldur's rear end, throwing him skyward, and into MDU4, knocking him further into the CPZ! Tira shunts MDU4 away and goes to spin her blade back up, and Baldur pushes MDU4 away as Asterix pushes him in to have a go, and crashes into MDU4, tilting him up again! Aaron is frustrated now, trying all that he can to try and spin his beast up but it's not working for him at all, and so that was good tactics by Alex and Baldur Gamma, shoving him into Tira's CPZ to stop him from rotating! Baldur decides to let Asterix have some fun and backs out of the CPZ...to have Tira's blade meet his rear end! CRASH!!! Baldur smashes into the wall heavily, rather undamaged, but covered in colourful sparks! Baldur turns in wrath and tackles Tira, sliding under her and shoving her all the way across the arena straight into the wall, raising the scoop as he does so! WHAM!!! Tira soars, flying up, and over onto her back! Baldur shoves into her again and stacks her up against the wall to prevent her from doing any more damage, and then goes back to the CPZ, where Asterix has released MDU4, however Aaron doesn't have much breathing room as Baldur smashes into him again before he can spin up at all! WHAM! WHAM! Straight back into the CPZ! Tira uses that srimech to get herself off the wall and back onto her wheels, and now goes after Baldur in equal wrath. MDU4 is stacked himself against the wall, but Asterix tackles him and MDU4 falls right back onto the wedge! Baldur turns to find Tira's spun up blade right in his face! CRASH!!! Baldur ricochets off the wall and into Asterix's side, Asterix hardly noticing, but the scoop is still intact and more or less in on piece! Tira realizes this too late, as Baldur drives into the stalled blade, and again shoves her across the arena, and raising the scoop lifts her...WHAM! Tira again flies...OVER THE FENCE!!! Just barely, though! She was stack-slammed against the wall, tilted onto the railing, and fell out! MDU4 can't get away from Asterix, but The Watcher tackles Asterix to let him know his fun time is over, but Baldur hurries back, just as MDU4 begins to finally spin up. CRASH! It's not monumental, but it does send Baldur lurching a little, but it does mean MDU4 gets to spin up more! Baldur turns and buries the scoop in! CRASH!! The crash is louder, as Baldur is flung again, farther this time, and MDU4 throws himself against the wall! Baldur Gamma spins around to let the audience know he's still alive, and then flies extremely fast, right back at MDU4 who's almost achieved his full speed, his fastest yet! CRASH!!! Baldur is launched across the arena, even thrown into the air, but it's MDU4 who takes the REAL force, catapulting back into Tira's vacated CPZ, now occupied by Asterix! The gaul-bot slams MDU4 into the CPZ opposite and holds him there, as Baldur returns to the fray, the scoop actually a little buckled now. The Watcher comes towards the CPZ and shunts Asterix again but Baldur intervenes and catches one of MDU4's blades, pushing further into the CPZ, right to the corner! Asterix backs off, but Baldur enters the CPZ and positions the scoop under MDU4! The scoop raises and lifts him against the wall! Aaron panics with the controls, but Alex is ectastic with the situation, and before Asterix can move into the CPZ again, Baldur's scoop lifts MDU4's frame up, up, AND DOWN!!! MDU4 crashes outside of the arena, defeated! What a fight!
CEASE!
Mass Disctruction Ultimate 4 has self-destructed. Baldur Gamma advances to the Heat H Final!

Cyclone Force 2.5 vs. Baldur Gamma
Cyclone Force 2.5 went through with Baldur after sending NSBFR-X back to the lost and found box on a judges decision, and then took out the 15th seed Terrorhurtz, straight down the pit.
Baldur Gamma, after going through with Cyclone Force, shocked the audience after giving one of the most feared vapourbots, Mass Disctruction Ultimate 4, a taste of the arena camera track!
Roboteers, stand by...
Booth 1: Cyclone Force 2.5 Booth 2: Baldur Gamma
Double Whamlet and Double Big Mac are ready to deal out a double dose of death!
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!
It's Cyclone Force who's the quicker here, and already trying to ram the front of Baldur, but Baldur is not heading for the front of Cyclone Force in turn; instead, it's heading towards one of the claws! There is a slight bang as the scoop smacks into the left side claw, and Baldur begins to push the Cyclone back towards the arena wall! Cyclone Force tilts and manages to get his right claw around the side but due to the angle of the clamp he cannot get a firm hold of Baldur, who breaks out of the clench, turns around, and buries himself into Chris' bot's front end fully this time. Cyclone Force goes to clamp in, but is interrupted by his rear end being smashed into the arena wall! The scoop comes in again and tilts Cyclone Force up against the arena wall! Baldur however goes too far with the push, and Cyclone Force falls sideways, off the arena wall, and onto his back. Baldur turns to face the now inverted Cyclone Force, but it seems that Chris made his bot disappear! This of course isn't the case as Cyclone Force comes in at Baldur's side and tackles him into the same wall, and the claws grip! Baldur tries to get away, but his rear end is caught by Cyclone Force's claw...and tilted upwards! Chris growls in frustration, seeing that Cyclone Force fails again to get a good clamp in on Baldur, but realizes that since Baldur is on top of Cyclone's clenched claws, he can take him anywhere! And that's just what Cyclone Force does! He heads straight for the pit release button, but Baldur is really putting up a struggle in the claws, and lifts the scoop. Both Alex and Chris gawk at the result, as Baldur lifts himself out of Cyclone Force's grip, the scoop still between the claws, and then falls beside his former captor, scoop upraised. Chris reacts first, though, and Cyclone Force, whipping around bores into him. This proves to be quite lethal, as he successfully slides under the scoop as it lowers and clamps around Baldur's sides! The claws now have a firm grip, however not piercing the 5mm hardox sides, but exerting enough pressure to keep them there. And Cyclone Force's traction comes back to aid him here, as he forces Baldur back towards the pit release button. Baldur lifts the scoop and lowers it down on Cyclone Force in vain, and soon enough gets his rear end acquainted with the pit release! The pit descends, but Baldur is definitely not going to go down without a fight! Alex almost snaps his controls as Baldur tries to push Cyclone Force back. Chris smirks and reverses Cyclone Force, allowing Baldur to push him back, and then tries to turn with Baldur pushing back, and so lining him up with the pit. His smirk becomes a frown as he finds he cannot do so, and so pushes Baldur back into the pit release button. The Watcher jumps in at this point and tackles the pair of them, as Cyclone Force has had enough fun with the claws. Chris looks sulky as Cyclone Force releases Baldur from its grasp, and backs off. Baldur rejoices in lowering his scoop, and the tide of this battle is going back to Baldur now as the MDU-killer slams into him. Cyclone Force tries to push him back, but ends up going onto the scoop and slammed into the wall! This however rights him, and he can now again take advantage of his low side ground clearance thanks to the skirts. Alex isn't worried about those skirts it seems, driving Baldur towards the front for another assault. Cyclone Force turns and Baldur slams into the side of him. The scoop is foiled by the skirts and Baldur drives on top of the chameleon-bot. Cyclone Force spins around and knocks Baldur off of him, and Chris is delighted to find Baldur's rear end exposed completely. Alex is alarmed and tries to drive off but the arena wall is too close and Baldur slams right into it. Cyclone Force's claws find the sides again but from the rear this time, and clamp down! Baldur fights it as best he can but Cyclone Force is slowly beginning to drag him backwards...and so Baldur thrusts backwards. Cyclone Force is pushed back now, not only by Baldur, but by his own reversal, and nearly hits the wall opposite, but able to turn this time slams Baldur into the arena wall. Baldur's scoop raises and he backs towards Cyclone Force, trying to force him back, but Cyclone Force has the greatest grip now, by both claw and tire, and shoves him along the wall...into the angle grinder! Alex lowers the scoop in time, as it hits the grinder. The grinder is unable to inflict its potential and Baldur is unharmed. Cyclone Force however is disappointed that he hasn't been able to give a death blow yet (preferably the pit) and tries to drag Baldur away, yet Alex's bot is quite a pain to deal with - AND HE'S ESCAPED! Baldur has slipped between the claws and...driven right back into the angle grinder. Thrown about 90 degrees, he backs away from the wall he is facing, and has a go at Cyclone Force who is catching up to him. Chris smashes his bot into Alex's with the force of a hurricane, only to find Alex pushing back with all of his might, and Cyclone Force backs off, causing to Baldur to fly forwards. Cyclone Force attacks the rear, but Baldur spins around in time to ward the attack off.
