User blog:Diotoir the son of nemesis/Grand Final prediction

Now that we've seen all the fights and all the heats it's time for the Grand Final! We haven't found out who the wildcard is as of yet so here I'll predict outcomes for each potential wildcard in battle. I will list the robots from least likely to win to most likely to win.

Pulsar
I predict that Pulsar is certain for doom. It's a robot that dies every five seconds and, as noted in the heat melee, it doesn't like fighting more than one opponent especially if they have large rotating blade and who has a large rotating blade in the final? CARBIDE! Carbide is the worse opponent Pulsar could face as it will die after probably one hit, I also thing that Apollo, TR2 and even Shockwave can bully Pulsar flipping and slamming it around the place. The only way I can see Pulsar surviving is against potential wildcards Thor, Dantomkia and (maybe) Gabriel but even then I cannot see it surviving round two let alone getting to the Grand Final. As for Behemoth and Storm 2, they're low enough to depose of Pulsar in my opinion. Great looking machine with terrible reliability.

Wildcard: Dantomkia
If Dantomkia is chosen I honestly don't think it can survive against any of these Grand Finalists, which would be a real shame. It'll be shoved by Shockwave, flipped by TR2 and Apollo and shredded by Carbide and even Pulsar could defeat Dantomkia by getting underneath and killing it off.

Wildcard: Gabriel
Gabriel is difficult to predict as it's an axlebot that can survive just about everything. I can see Gabriel surviving round one but as long as it doesn't meet Carbide or Pulsar who will destroy those large wheels. It could be possible for Apollo and TR2 to get Gabriel OOTA seeing as it has happened plenty of times during the Live Events.

Wildcard: Thor
The mighty axe of Thor and most likely wildcard seeing as it won all of its battles before losing in the heat final, I can't see it doing as impressive as it did in its heat. Carbide will kill it, Pulsar could attack the underneath body, TR2 is likely to flip it out and about as will Apollo. Shockwave could go ether way, if Shockwave uses that plastic scoop, it's dead, but if Shockwave uses it metal sledge it will do fine but may suffer against the other competition...

Shockwave
Shockwave is a great pusher and will easily beat Pulsar and pretty much all of the wildcards. Shockwave will have to play tactically when facing Apollo, TR2 and Carbide seeing as they will give Shockwave trouble getting in from the sides and causing the immense amount of damage. I say Shockwave gets to round two at least.

Wildcard: Storm 2
Storm 2 will die against Shockwave, TR2 and Apollo seeing as they are much more slower and they have a lower ground clearence that can be used to sweep the floor with. Storm 2 will be able to beat Pulsar I believe and could do well against Carbide as Storm 2 is very durable and can even put a stop to Carbide's reign of terror. Storm 2 maybe slower but it is still a force to reckon with.

Wildcard: Behemoth
Behemoth is much better than before and the scoop is a thousand times better than before. Behemoth will lose to Carbide that's a given but I can see it doing well against the likes of TR2, Apollo and Shockwave though I doubt it could win against them it will put up a good fight regardless. Behemoth can beat Pulsar by flipping it all over and I predict it getting to round two if it wins the wild card.

Apollo
Apollo is by far my favourite robot this series and is certainly in my top three to win. Apollo will make mincemeat out of pretty much all except Carbide and TR2. Apollo's weakness seems to be bladed robots and I believe that Carbide will get a good hit on at the side of Apollo killing it. TR2 on the other hand has a wider and lower flipper which can get in from the side and chuck Apollo onto its side and do what Eruption did to it kill it using cold weather and limited CO2.

Carbide
Carbide is the most destructive robot this series and will tear apart the whole competition except one of course. What else to say but Carbide will ether win or become runners up and that I'm sure of.

TR2
TR2 is probably the only robot here that can defeat Carbide in my opinon. It's got a wide, well protected wedge like flipper that will deflect attacks. Its flipper may not be as powerful as as Apollo but I can also see it flipping Apollo to oblivion. TR2 is my prediction to win the championship. What's yours?
