Heat F

 * Nick: So yeah: X-Terminator is the seed this week, isn’t it?
 * Toast: Yeah, seems reasonable, must be between 12 and 14
 * Nick: It is, and has a disc - cool
 * Toast: 10,000 British teams active, Craig says, where did he find that number
 * Nick: Lol, it probably means that the Robot Wars website got 10,000 hits
 * Toast: or 11th seed, my bad, that's another heat winner off the cards possibly
 * Nick: 11 is incredibly high for something like X-Terminator
 * Nick: Ooh, this flipper looks cool
 * Toast: how did he say this robot's name?
 * Nick: Tussarmy, I think
 * Toast: Looks to be called Tsunami
 * Nick: Loool
 * Toast: WHAT HAPPENED TO MAJOR TOM
 * Nick: OMG WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO MAJOR TOM
 * Toast: It looks... competent!!!
 * Nick: THEYVE JUST STUCK A HEAD ON THE BACK OF A RECTANGLE FFS
 * Nick: A DOUBLE CLAMPING SPIKE ?????
 * Toast: ok never mind
 * Toast: meanwhile someone entered a bleeding tooth
 * Toast: are the discs on the back or are they just filming it weirdly
 * Nick: Right, well Tsunami and X-Terminator look the favourites here
 * Toast: I think Major Tom COULD be OK if it's fast
 * Toast: it's not.
 * Toast: WELL IT DID ONE THING QUICKLY
 * Toast: LEAVE THE PREMISES
 * Nick: HOLY CRAP I DIDNT MEAN ‘FAVOURITES’ THAT EMPHATICALLY
 * Toast: we even get a full replay of the entire fight, it was that short! Fantastic stuff though!
 * Toast: I didn't really notice until the replay but X-Terminator did a lot of damage actually
 * Toast: Tsunami though, immediate heat favourite!
 * Nick: Looks like a new Chaos 2, tbh
 * Nick: Ooh fluffy is back
 * Toast: Maybe I'm too prompt in calling Tsunami the heat favourite, Fluffy is an immediate top two
 * Toast: Killer Carrot 2 looking like a Killer Carrot 3 tbh, very different
 * Toast: Did they actually spell it as "Scarey-Go-Round" grrrr
 * Nick: Hahaha, it’s going nowhere now! Great hit, Fluffy
 * Toast: yep they've already qualified on a Judges' decision minimum
 * Toast: The carousel is bashed to bits lol
 * Toast: Fluffy's hardly moving now, this would be a major disappointment
 * Nick: What sort of a fight is this
 * Nick: I mean fluffy is still mobile so it should progress because nobody else has done anything on note
 * Toast: what do you mean, Carousel tried to set itself on fire! Qualifies on pure comedy!
 * Nick: Constrictor and Killer Carrot were active but hardly scored points -especially the former
 * Nick: Oh Jesus Christ Judges really
 * Toast: I had a feeling :(
 * Toast: Oh hey up Hydra gets a second chance!
 * Nick: Um where is Dominator 2
 * Nick: I mean I guess it’s like Spin City for the second tier
 * Toast: yeah I quite like that idea, Spin City would've been weird with Hypno-Disc bashing everybody up. I'm open to an axes battle without Dominator
 * Toast: But don't two of these have flippers?
 * Nick: True! Very dodgy. Maybe they can’t use them
 * Nick: I’ll back Hydra anyway
 * Toast: yeah you're right, they clearly aren't using the flippers
 * Nick: Um, Kat 3...
 * Nick: It’s literally just stopped working
 * Toast: wow what the heck - Hydra dominating though
 * Toast: wow good power from Iron-Awe to lift Cassius Chrome!
 * Toast: and then Hydra just kills both of the House Robots!!
 * Nick: Hydra is on a hot streak!
 * Nick: Screw you, Gravity - what a shame Hydra couldn’t do this in the UK Champs
 * Nick: OH NO
 * Nick: REFBOT YOU SHUNTHOUSE
 * Toast: revenge of the house robots!!
 * Nick: Haha, indeed! Jesus Christ
 * Toast: So it's X-Terminator vs Killer Carrot and Tsunami vs Constrictor. Obvious winners, surely?
 * Nick: You’d think so. Fluffy could’ve made this second round competitive
 * Toast: oh if Fluffy beat 259 then it could beat the tiny disc on X-Terminator
 * Toast: Killer Carrot kid talking the house down as always
 * Nick: Wait, did Killer Carrot’s flipper even work in Round 1?
 * Toast: Not sure. Should be a nice chance to see how X-Terminator works without it getting overshadowed by Tsunami
 * Nick: Doesn’t look like it’s working here either
 * Nick: Oh damn, nice hit
 * Toast: wow fair play - X-Terminator deserving of credit here!
 * Nick: Absolutely - though at the same time I’m not quite sure if that disc is capable of damaging Tsunami
 * Toast: you were right though, Carrot can't self-right
 * Nick: Two good, damaging performances but only against aluminum checkerplate machines
 * Nick: PIT RELEASE TIME BOIS
 * Nick: WAIT WHAT
 * Nick: A DISC OOTA WHAT
 * Toast: OH MY GOD OUT OF THE ARENA!!!!!
 * Nick: Well there’s the answer to my question then!
 * Toast: We've never seen that before! Only from Matilda, I didn't think something that wasn't a House Robot could do that!
 * Nick: That was marvelous
 * Toast: It's such a tiny disc too, that should barely be able to lift anything, not throw it into the ceiling lights!
 * Nick: “This is Terminator-X” what the hell, Craig
 * Toast: I wonder if that was a genuine flub or an attempt at a joke
 * Toast: Constrictor team sad about getting Tsunami, but after that performance from X-Terminator, what's actually worse?
 * Toast: oh Jayne Middlemiss, we were watching Toonami this morning, it's time for TSUNAMI now
 * Nick: Oh, immediate trouble here
 * Toast: one flip and it's falling apart!
 * Nick: Tsunami isn’t even trying, man
 * Toast: Stop trying to self-right Constrictor, you're invertible!
 * Nick: Well that was emphatic! How good is Tsunami, man
 * Nick: Constructor is rubbish, but that’s two incredible displays
 * Nick: I thought Gravity’s first two fights were impressive but these have potentially surpassed them!
 * Toast: I just realised, that's THREE robots out of the arena from Tsunami! X-Terminator got one too!
 * Nick: How have we got a Heat Final between two machines that look this impressive
 * Toast: "new wave of robot" oh craig
 * Nick: And that’s WITH Fluffy dropping out in Round 1, Hahaha
 * Toast: flipping heck you're right!
 * Toast: Who on EARTH is going to win out of X-Terminator and Tsunami??
 * Nick: X-Terminator looks in more trouble in those Heat Final preview clips
 * Toast: I suppose the question is, how does X-Terminator self-right?
 * Nick: Exactly. I’ll back Tsunami. Could be a decent fight though
 * Toast: yeah the seeds have done poorly this series, we look to be set up for another
 * Toast: Imagine, the piddly axe X-Terminator got to win a heat, but the amazing flywheel one won't!
 * Nick: Is it going to another flipper win?
 * Toast: that would be five out of six, hmm
 * Toast: STOP SAYING TUSS ARMY
 * Nick: STUART MCDONALD, MATE
 * Nick: Here we go!
 * Nick: Man, Tsunami looks timid
 * Toast: well I would be!
 * Nick: OOH EARLY HIT
 * Nick: AND AN EARLY FLIP WOW GREAT TIMING
 * Nick: Hahaha off it skittles
 * Toast: That could be it! I don't see X-Terminator turning itself back over from that!
 * Nick: Nope! It’s literally flat on its back
 * Nick: Omg OotA surely!
 * Toast: lol it really does have side srimechs
 * Nick: Hahaha what a mess
 * Nick: OH MY GOD HOW DID IT STAY IN
 * Toast: Oh Tsunami you've proper bodged it there!!!
 * Nick: Jesus Christ what a fight
 * Nick: Tsunami backing off to find that moment again but X-Terminator is coming on strong
 * Toast: is the wedge damaged? The advantage may be gone here!
 * Nick: Damn another big hit
 * Toast: you know with damage being the main criteria, I think X-Terminator is winning here!
 * Nick: And I think that hit has done in Tsunami’s drive!
 * Nick: Well those hits certainly have!
 * Nick: Wow what a fightback
 * Nick: Man, what a shame for Tsunami
 * Toast: smoke pouring out! The spinner has won this - I cannot believe it! Tsunami completely destroyed!
 * Nick: This is incredible
 * Toast: come in Refbot!
 * Nick: AND ANOTHER OOTA OMG THATS IN THE TOP 4 FIGHTS EVER SURELY
 * Toast: NO WAY DID THEY DO IT AGAIN
 * Toast: Top 4 might be an understatement mate!
 * Nick: I can’t get over that! What an amazing fight!
 * Toast: I could name 100 fights and none were as good as that!
 * Toast: omg I haven't even calmed down yet, that genuinely might be the best fight I've ever seen, right up there with M2 and Tiberius 3
 * Toast: but why didn't Tsunami just leave it on the wall?
 * Nick: I guess they got caught up in the moment
 * Nick: But omg we’ve had sensational heat finals in 5/6 Heats
 * Toast: and then there was Tornado
 * Toast: X-Terminator wants another crack at Panic Attack - won't even be close, honestly!
 * Toast: At this rate, Panic Attack won't even be in the semis
 * Nick: Wait what
 * Toast: what the heck why is Atomic the seed
 * Nick: Well I’m glad it’s back but what the hell
 * Nick: Well that was a decent episode!
 * Toast: Yeah I don't remember Atomic even being in the last series - how did they blag that one?
 * Toast: but seriously, we must have just watched one of the best episodes of all time
 * Nick: I’m starting to get a bad feeling about some of the all-stars not returning
 * Nick: But yes: it doesn’t matter who appears if the Heats are like that!
 * Toast: oh here's a thought - they have the Top 12 seeds as normal, and then the middle four heats don't have any
 * Toast: we'll find out next week
 * Nick: That’s true
 * Nick: But yes: it should be good fun
