Heat K

 * Toast: oh look, Nick's sister is here again after four straight weeks of after-school activities
 * Toast: that calligraphy club better be of good use
 * Cam-Cam: yeah the times they've been putting the episodes on at the mo hasn't been handy :// why do they keep changing it
 * Nick: Why did they just show Killerkat being chucked by the floor flipper
 * Nick: Lol they didn’t even hype up the seed in Craig’s intro
 * Toast: next one is on Sunday according to the Radio Times
 * Nick: At 1:15am
 * Cam-Cam: OOOHH IT'S THAT CRUSHER WE SAW A FEW EPISODES AGO
 * Cam-Cam: IN THE SPOILERS JUST THEN
 * Cam-Cam: YES I WAS LOOKING (they're not as bad as series 6 tbh)
 * Toast: and here it is in the arena, what a beautiful machine
 * Nick: Mantis looked very handy in that fight. Could do well
 * Toast: Unprotected wheels they say, unprotected everything more like
 * Toast: 1200rpm drum spinner on Infernal Contraption, should cause some serious damage
 * Nick: They didn’t even read out Bulldog Breed’s seed there!
 * Nick: Did they just forget to seed it until afterwards
 * Toast: must be 15th-ish
 * Cam-Cam: 'weakness: absolutely none!' sure, jan
 * Cam-Cam: ooh Jabber looks cool
 * Toast: The lass on the Jabber team might be the palest person in the world
 * Nick: And Bulldog Breed has a bad record against spinners, y’know
 * Nick: I’ll go Mantis and Bulldog Breed though
 * Toast: I doubt Mantis can self-right, so much as I like the look of it, I have to go Bulldog Breed and Infernal Contraption
 * Cam-Cam: Yeah, I'm really not sure here tbh
 * Toast: yep, great hit on Jabber from Infernal Contraption
 * Nick: What a good fight so far
 * Cam-Cam: Has Infernal Contraption ever been driven well?
 * Cam-Cam: Mantis holding Jabber is hilarious
 * Toast: Jabber's spinning bar is about the size of a Wham Bar
 * Cam-Cam: I was also just saying about how tiny it is
 * Nick: Jabber’s back alive!
 * Cam-Cam: Woah has Bulldog Breed used some entanglement stuff?
 * Toast: Some sort of webber?
 * Nick: Well that was a great fight to open with
 * Toast: Craig there's no such thing as the Woo Ayy Arr, be quiet
 * Cam-Cam: Is Bulldog Breed actually gonna get eliminated this early on???
 * Toast: Well that was really close between all three, I reckon they're going to punish Bulldog Breed here and put it out
 * Toast: It's not like the third-best robot did badly in the fight, Infernal Contraption was decent - Mantis clearly through
 * Nick: Yeah there’d be no reason to hype the controversy up if not
 * Cam-Cam: Oh god looks like we've got Kat 3 in the next melee judging by that clip
 * Nick: Damn, Bulldog Breed got away with it
 * Toast: ....ok?? I guess??
 * Nick: Ah damnit the judges bottled
 * Toast: I would've taken that opportunity to lose a seed, feel sorry for Infernal
 * Nick: Jayne: “we’ve got to uphold the rules”
 * Nick: ...hence they only got a warning...?
 * Toast: nice of someone to be venting the CO2 out of their robot for that entire interview
 * Toast: "sorry Tony, I know that was pretty harsh, but can we refilm the bit where we firmly tell you off for breaking the rules?? We couldn't hear it properly"
 * Nick: From where...?
 * Nick: KAMPANHOWT
 * Cam-Cam: I think we've seen this Hard robot before haven't we
 * Cam-Cam: I remember the guy with the eyebrows
 * Nick: WTF
 * Nick: Why is Velocirippa here as well
 * Nick: And what the hell is T-Wrecks
 * Cam-Cam: Velocirippa was outdated when it first debuted, dear god
 * Toast: they could have at least TRIED to put Velocirippa and Mighty Mouse far apart, time for a second heat final in a row
 * Nick: Well this is evidently the bad melee
 * Cam-Cam: Is T-Wrecks meant to be a full body spinner idgi
 * Nick: Oh god and Kat3 tops it all off
 * Toast: Fifty hits on Kat 3, they won't have to wait for a good hit, go nuts girls!
 * Cam-Cam: 'that is a very powerful weapon' have you ever watched this show, Jane
 * Nick: I’ll go Kat3, and... Hard?
 * Nick: It looked okay against Riptilion
 * Cam-Cam: Yeah I guess so
 * Cam-Cam: Kat 3 always manages to get through randomly
 * Toast: Velocirippa to get through just for the hilarity of it
 * Toast: will Kat 3 get counted out for being stuck this long?
 * Cam-Cam: Kat 3's hits are even more inaccurate than normal oh my god
 * Toast: that's the biggest hit we've ever seen from a sit-and-spin attack! Not a weapon that will ever do well in Robot Wars, but y'know
 * Nick: Has Kat 3 lost drive on the left side?
 * Toast: Kat 3 doesn't have its axe pick, Velocirippa genuinely is going to win a fight finally!
 * Cam-Cam: Kat 3 lost its axehead wtf
 * Nick: HAHAHAHA
 * Cam-Cam: Ah man, that's a shame for Velocirippa
 * Nick: Poor Mighty Mouse 2.0
 * Nick: Or 0.5
 * Toast: aaaaaaaand Kat 3 wins "just because", like always. It's hardly going to become an All-Star like this
 * Toast: YES MIDDLEWEIGHTS GET IN
 * Toast: I'M SO READY
 * Nick: Oh boy
 * Cam-Cam: OH GOD MIDDLEWEIGHTS????
 * Nick: Oh, hi Typhoon
 * Cam-Cam: FFS NOT TYPHOON AGAIN
 * Toast: Do we get the Typhoon Twins again?
 * Nick: Did JP say Steel Sandwich has a SPINNER?
 * Toast: WHERE IS 259?????
 * Toast: erm
 * Toast: guys what do we say about this
 * Cam-Cam: Well this is nowhere near as explosive as I thought
 * Nick: omg Phoenix tanked zero hits
 * Toast: Can we at least have some Growler comedy in another Typhoon fight, this sucks
 * Cam-Cam: shame, the melees in this heat were great
 * Cam-Cam: and then this happened
 * Nick: A literal circle carried out a pitting
 * Toast: Typhoon wins for the sixteenth time hooray
 * Toast: I guess that's just the point of Team Typhoon, they win everything ever except for the heavyweight championship
 * Nick: Well that special event was bad but the Heat itself has started very well
 * Nick: Bulldog Breed vs. Hard should be another fight that goes the distance
 * Toast: This seems a harsh matchup, Hard vs the seed
 * Toast: I guess they're punishing Bulldog Breed for cheating by giving it a stronger opponent
 * Toast: There shouldn't be any reason for Bulldog Breed to lose, but Hard will at least make it difficult
 * Cam-Cam: I'll go Bulldog Breed here, but Hard will probably survive to make it go to a judges' decision or something
 * Nick: Yep
 * Cam-Cam: Is Hard already dead? Man how disappointing
 * Toast: well that wasn't hard at all
 * Toast: These failed OotA's are even worse!! We know it has the potential, why has it transformed into Roobarb?
 * Nick: Hard, more like easy !!
 * Cam-Cam: I was literally thinking the same thing, embarrassing attempts there
 * Toast: the floor flipper toss was the only good thing about this fight
 * Cam-Cam: They pulled it off in Extreme 2 pretty well, but those were so weak
 * Toast: "we have seen Mr. Psycho destroy our plexiglass arena side walls, that's how big he is"
 * Toast: When was this??
 * Nick: “We couldn’t get underneath it”
 * Nick: Couldn’t get underneath an immobile robot - good job
 * Nick: Ooh, this fight should be good though!
 * Cam-Cam: surely Mantis has this next fight, they can control Kat 3
 * Toast: I don't think so, Kat 3 could KO it in one hit if they're lucky
 * Cam-Cam: mmm I guess I didn't think about the exposed bits but Kat 3's axe sucks so I'm not too worried
 * Nick: And I’m backing Mantis. Kat 3’s hit-and-miss ratio is awful
 * Toast: oh wow they've hooked it!
 * Toast: I'm glad I held faith, Kat 3 heading for its first proper win in a long time
 * Cam-Cam: Ugh this battle's been so frustrating, massive opportunity missed by Mantis here just because Kat 3 kept getting hooked
 * Cam-Cam: They've got a couple of decent lifts in though, maybe the judges will consider those?
 * Nick: Pfft that was tense
 * Toast: I like Mantis, but Kat 3 making another Heat Final on its own merits is quite sweet - I don't doubt that they won this one
 * Nick: Kat 3 landed one good axe blow. The rest of the time was just the axe dropping inwards
 * Nick: Well there it is
 * Cam-Cam: Yeah, that is frustrating
 * Toast: Craig Charles clearly wanted Mantis to win as well, based on this interview
 * Nick: Mantis would’ve provided a better Heat Final, too - can’t see Kat 3 damaging Bulldog Breed at all
 * Toast: I think they fought before, didn't they?
 * Toast: Easy win for Bulldog, but there's some charm in a cat vs dog Heat Final
 * Nick: True
 * Toast: those post-ads highlights of Bulldog Breed vs Hard, wow, they had nothing to show
 * Nick: THEY WANT TO TAKE OUT BULLDOG BREED’S AERIALS!?
 * Nick: With an axe!?
 * Toast: minus points for the choker on Georji Williams
 * Cam-Cam: This has gotta be Bulldog Breed surely
 * Cam-Cam: Imagine Kat 3 in the semi-finals...
 * Toast: at least it wouldn't be a flipper
 * Nick: Kat 3 vs. Gravity please
 * Toast: after we lost so many big seeds at the start of the series, we're looking at our third seeded win in a row, I guess the momentum is shifting
 * Toast: weird that the seeded wins lately have been Thermidor II and Bulldog Breed, but they still ARE the seeds I guess
 * Cam-Cam: Yeah I'm not a big fan of Bulldog Breed which makes me wish Mantis could've got through instead
 * Toast: I was gonna say that you both strike me more as cat people, but you hardly seemed bothered about that either
 * Toast: do you have a pet insect perchance
 * Cam-Cam: Kat 3 is a disgrace to cats around the world
 * Nick: Bulldog Breed easily weathering those axe blows - Tony Somerfield’s machine proving that it is tough as nails
 * Nick: Well Kat 3 did okay but that’s a Bulldog Breed Heat win surely
 * Nick: WHY ARE THE JUDGES INSPECTING THE MACHINES??
 * Toast: so Bulldog Breed goes through, solid enough heat win but no OotA's - I don't think they'll win against their next opponent which will inevitably be another flipper
 * Nick: Well that was a good Heat overall
 * Nick: There’s only five Heats left though - we really need to see the big seeds now surely
 * Toast: tenth seed next, probably Spawn Again?
 * Cam-Cam: Shame about Bulldog Breed vs Hard, that left a really sour taste
 * Cam-Cam: Rest of the heat was solid though
 * Nick: B-Behemoth...? Is this Extreme again??
 * Cam-Cam: WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO CORKSCREW???
 * Nick: Lmfao
 * Toast: I don't think we've hated on that awful middleweight fight enough, to be honest
 * Cam-Cam: Oh god I forgot about that, says a lot
 * Nick: It was awful but thankfully a special event
 * Toast: well look forward to seeded Behemoth I guessssss
 * Nick: ...yeah...?
