Forum:Series 8 Side Events

This is me meerly pondering here, but is our Series 8 going to have little side-tournaments and battles, a bit like Series 4 and 7 did?

I think it should. I don't think we need to do a 4th World Championships, but maybe have a few weapon themed battles, or an annihilator. I think I've got a good idea for an annihilator. CBFan 20:17, 25 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I certainly agree as well. I think we should go for


 * An annihilator
 * A profession battle of some sort (teachers, techicians, etc)
 * Maybe a larger Flipper Frenzy.

Annihilator
If I may post my thoughts, this is my idea for an annihilator...I actually combined it with the All-Stars concept.


 * Kan Opener - Defending annihilator champion, winner of two competitions.
 * Pussycat - Former annihilator champion.
 * Disc-O-Infero (assuming it qualifies) - Another former annihilator champion.
 * Raging Knightmare - Competed in three competitions, the most of any robot.
 * Thermidor 2 - In part for the infamous final of Extreme 2's annihilator.
 * Dominator 2 - The highest placing returning robot from the very first annihilator.

 * I'd be ok with Kan Opener returning to defend its title, but with Thermidor and Team Knightmare in, that's half of the Extreme 2 Annihilator. I think there should be, at the very least, two who've never done an annihilator before; because of the format of the annihilator, you quickly get tired of seeing the same robots every time.

 * That is a very good point. I'd like to have some robots that have never really had a chance to shine get a go. So, I'd like to have these.


 * Kan Opener
 * Raging Knightmare
 * Hellbent - The best of the robots who were eliminated before their chance to shine
 * Spawn Again - The best performing robot to never win a title in any form
 * Atomic- Since it never reached the annihilator in Extreme 1
 * Bulldog Breed - Same as Atomic

 Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  05:25, September 4, 2009 (UTC)


 * Better, but I'd still like to lose Raging Knightmare because it's had three tries and no wins; I feel it's time to give someone else a turn. A lot of the Annihilators had a robot that didn't qualify for the main series; maybe after we decide on a full list of robots who won't return, we can pick one of them to take part. R A 2 ; aka Resetti's Replicas.  ( My Talk ) 20:00, September 4, 2009 (UTC)


 * Sounds like a good plan. But are you happy with the other five I chose?  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  21:51, September 4, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, it looks good. For a replacement, I'd like to consider 13 Black. It's a prominent robot who never even got a chance to participate, and it's never faced any of the five bots currently in the annihilator. R A 2 ; aka Resetti's Replicas.  ( My Talk ) 04:04, September 6, 2009 (UTC)


 * What happened to including a non-Series 7 entrant? I thought we should have Mayhem or someone like that. If you want 13 Black, we could drop out Bulldog Breed seeings as its already in the Tag Team.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  07:33, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * Actually, I'm going to drop out Hellbent, because its already in the Tag Team. I'll put in Derek, who didnt fight in Series 7, but we'll bring it back for this reason only.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  11:20, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

Others
I'd like to see the pinball back, but perhaps a little different with no Sir Killalot. Llamaman201 (talk) 12:28, 26 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I'd also love the sumo, but most robots would probably beat Shunt no problems. Maybe a shove with Cassius Chrome?


 * Lets have a look at the trials, get some ideas from there?  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  12:33, 26 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Perhaps the Tug of War, but against another competitor robot? Llamaman201 (talk) 12:39, 26 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Maybe the Football tournament? I was half expecting it to appear in Series 4, and I must admit I was disapointed. CBFan 19:31, September 3, 2009 (UTC)

Flipper Frenzy
I'd like to make this between all the robots who manage to flip a robot out of the arena in this wars. I don't know how many we'll have, but we'll see when we come to it.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  03:29, September 6, 2009 (UTC)

Tag Team
Since there wasn't one in the 7th wars, how about bringing back the Tag Team Terror competition? Here are the eight teams I propose we have:
 * Bulldog Breed and Robochicken
 * Pussycat and Diotoir
 * Hydra and Barbaric Response
 * Lightning and Steel Avenger
 * X-Terminator and Mega Morg
 * Spawn Again and Comengetorix
 * Bigger Brother and Major Tom 3
 * Hellbent and Constrictor (They were partners in the Technogames)

And if we decide that any of these teams need to pull out, Firestorm and Kat 3 could be an alternate; they were also Technogames partners. '''R A 2 ; [http://www.youtube.com/user/ResettisReplicas aka Resetti's Replicas. ] ( My Talk )''' 03:54, September 6, 2009 (UTC)


 * I'd agree with most of those, but that means we've got half the Extreme 2 Tag Team. What I would like is to put up Firestorm 5 and Scorpion, the original runners-up.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  04:29, September 6, 2009 (UTC)


 * Actually I'm not happy with that. Since Steel Avenger isnt coming back, they cant be in. I think your bottom 3 and the reigning champs, thats all. New teams would be more fun, so we can propose some new matchups.

For me, I'd love to make Shredder and Splinter, Rhino and Ceros and to bring Firestorm and Scorpion back as Tag Team partners. How about IG-88 and Vader in a Team Vader pairup?  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  04:37, September 6, 2009 (UTC)


 * I'd like to see both Tag Team Champions return, but I propose we keep them as far away as possible. I agree with Firestorm and Scorpion returning, and I would also like to see Hydra and Barbaric Response have another go. I like the Hellbent/Constrictor team-up, and also the IG-88/Vader idea. I'm going to be really cheeky here, and suggest a team-up between "rivals" 13 Black and Chompalot, and I'm also going to propose Kan Opener and Ripper, because they are good friends. That way, we have four veteran teams and four new teams. CBFan 15:38, September 6, 2009 (UTC)


 * I'd actually prefer to avoid Pussycat and Diotior, and instead bring a partnership between Rhino and Ceros. I think it would be funny.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  00:10, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * Bulldog Breed and Robochicken
 * IG-88 and Vader
 * Hydra and Barbaric Response
 * Ripper and Kan Opener
 * 13 Black and Chompalot
 * Hellbent and Constrictor
 * Bigger Brother and Major Tom 3 Kat 3
 * Rhino and Ceros
 * Firestorm and Scorpion

How is that for the final choice? I cut Spawn Again and Comengetorix because they've changed very little.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  07:33, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * Two changes....put Bigger Brother with Kat 3 (the most potant of all of Bigger Brother's tag team partners), and replace one of the teams with Firestorm 5 and Scorpion (because I want that as much as you do). Otherwise, it's good. CBFan 07:51, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * I chose to cut Hydra and Barbaric Response, because I feel that they had their chance.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  08:27, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * What about Kat 3 and Firestorm? Centurion and Sir chromalot?


 * Please sign with four of these "~" symbols. Also, Firestorm is already paired up with Scorpion, and Kat 3 with Bigger Brother. And it is blatantly obvious why we can't even begin to think about Centurion. CBFan 19:41, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * Firestorm member Hazel Heslop was with Kat 3 and they were partners in techno games football. Ray Tait worked with Centurion before joining Sir Chromalot, and Bigger brother was partner with Bulldog breed in Techno games footy.

Vengeance
This is the one I want back. I want to see some grudge matches fought. Possible ones include


 * G.B.H. 2 vs Firestorm 5
 * G.B.H. 2 vs Splinter
 * Spawn Again vs Thermidor 2
 * Terrorhurtz vs Splinter

 Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  04:29, September 6, 2009 (UTC)

Good idea. What about Diotoir vs Firestorm 5?  Helloher    (talk)  16:22, September 6, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, just list ones you want.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  00:10, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

I'd list Scorpion and Rhino as Reactor cost Scorpion in series 4. I'd also like Nasty Humphrey vs Steel Advenger, Bigger Brother against Iron Awe, and Mega Morg against Ming Diensty. Robochicken vs Crushtacean and Behemoth against Crushtacen can also be included. Panic attack-Terrorhutz, Razer-Tornado and Supernova vs Storm 2 also are appropriate.

War of the Weapons
This was an idea I've had for quite a while now...a War of the Weapons tournament. Here's the concept.


 * Axe Attack - A battle between four robots with axes (such as Dominator 2 and Terrorhurtz).
 * Crusher Crunch-Up - A battle between four robots with crushers. These can be either horizontal (Tough As Nails) or vertical (Tiberius 3).
 * Spinner Showdown - A battle between four robots with spinning discs. Again, horizontal (Disc-O-Inferno), vertical (IG-88) or full-body (Typhoon 2) are allowed.
 * Flipper Frenzy - A battle between four robots with flippers. Forward-hindged (Firestorm) or back-hindged (Dantomkia) are allowed, once again.
 * Rammer Rampage - A battle between four ramming robots (like Tornado or Storm 2)
 * War of the Weapons - A battle between the five winning robots from each of the previous battles.

You may have noticed I picked some well known, successful robots as examples. I actually reccomend we DON'T make these our first choice. What do you think? CBFan 15:48, September 6, 2009 (UTC)


 * I like this. Perhaps Tomohawk for the Axe Attack?  Helloher    (talk)  16:19, September 6, 2009 (UTC)


 * This sounds like a good idea and interesting. Llamaman201 (talk) 16:20, September 6, 2009 (UTC)


 * Ripper, Dantomkia and Iron awe for flipper frenzy as they are still around today.

Final Choices
I think, before this gets too much and we have to reject them, I've chosen these.


 * Annihilator, comprising of Kan Opener, Hellbent, Atomic, Spawn Again, Derek 2 and 13 Black.
 * Tag Team, with these teams
 * Bulldog Breed and Robochicken
 * IG-88 and Vader
 * Ripper and Kan Opener
 * 13 Black and Chompalot
 * Hellbent and Constrictor
 * Bigger Brother and Kat 3
 * Rhino and Ceros
 * Firestorm and Scorpion
 * War of the Weapons
 * Kickboxing (essentially the Sumo, except with Cassius Chrome)
 * Pinball (maybe. Not sure how we'll score it though)
