Forum:If a small thing had changed

I want to use this page to discuss possibilities of a certain robot winning a single battle, or not dropping out, or if a seed had changed. Use this page to break into subsections.

Anyone is welcome to add their own "what if", as long as they have reason to believe it would be worth discussing.

However, please do not add your opinion to a section if all you are doing is agreeing fully with what was said.

Razer being more reliable
What would have happened in Series 2-4 had Razer not had technical faults? in Series 2 Razer will crush and pit Inquisitor. but vs Behemoth with out the self-righting wings they will lost. Series 3 Razer will crush Aggrobot and Blade for the win. Razer will crush Beast of Bodmin and Steg-O-Saw-Us into submission they will lost to Hypno-Disc Series 4 vs they will lost to Pussycat--Bulldogbreed 02:26, October 5, 2010 (UTC)

I think that in series 2 it would defeat Behemoth. The scoop wasn't as potent as later series, and it failed to flip over Elvis and Inquisitor. In the semi final gauntlet it may take 1st or 2nd since Napalm completed it in about 15 seconds. Then in the trial Razer comes first. It faces Killertron and crushes through the bin lid shell before fighting a close battle with Panic Attack, but eventually wedges it off the ground and shoves it down the pit. In the Final I think Cassius would win if Rex Garrod could steer it right on the day. The front looked lower than Razer, who didn't have the scoop system in this series, or a srimech. One good flip and Razer is gone.

In series 3 it would defeat Blade, it can crush through the 3mm thick steel and get to the wheels. Then it would defeat Beast of Bodmin the same way. Against Steg-O-Saw-us Razer would be rammed a few times, but eventually manage to get under it and crush into it. Against Hypno Disc, Razer's armour was quite thin before the 100kg weight limit. It might put some holes in Hypno Disc's 4mm aluminium, but if Hypno Disc gets a chance it could rip through Razer's sides and disable the wheels. If Razer could be repaired in time for the playoff it would defeat Firestorm.

In series 4 it would still lose to Pussycat. In Extreme 1 it wasn't mechanical faults that let Razer down, it was Pussycat causing problems with the wheels. Plus again, Razer's armour is too thin here. Razer keeps moving for a while, but Pussycat tears it apart.TheStigisaRobot 10:39, October 5, 2010 (UTC)

BizarroKing's thoughts
Series 2: hmm, well considering Razer took 1st place in it's gauntlet run in it's heat, I feel it can easily win the trial run. In the pinball run judging from it's 3rd Wars run, it can easily do well but I think it will only take 2nd behind Panic Attack so Razer faces Mortis (if it goes 1st vs 3rd and 2nd vs 4th) and beats him and goes to the finals with Panic Attack, who still beats Killertron. Razer's luck runs out here and loses to the boxed bot in the finals as Panic has more power here. In the playoff, he can hold his own and pierce Roadblock at least once or twice, but will ultimately fall and takes 4th place.

Series 3: After defeating Aggrobot, Razer crushes Blade, no contest really. In the semis Razer is in a grudge match against Beast Of Bodmin, successor to the bot that beat him last year. Razer avenges his 2nd wars loss by piercing the eye and causing BOB to break down. Against Steg, honestly i think Steg-O-Saw-Us may pull off the upset win and shove Razer around the arena though he may put a hole in Steg before he breaks down, thus ending his 3rd Wars run.

Series 4:...I'm not gonna lie, I think Pussycat might still pull off the win here so nothing changes. BizarroKing 01:20, February 12, 2012 (UTC)

Onslaught in Series 4
Had Onslaught, and not V-Max, fought in Series 4, what would the result have been?

TG's thoughts
Since Cerberus was felled by the wedge of V-Max, I think its reasonable to think it would last longer against a lifting arm and a scoop. Not much longer though, I still think Cerberus would have fallen.

In round 2, however, not even little Onslaught could have held off Hypno-Disc. Same result for me.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  23:28, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

Llama's Thoughts
I agree with the above, but Onslaught might dart about the arena for almost the enitre match, either eventually being caught or being beaten by judges. Llamaman201 (talk) 08:54, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

Alternate Extreme 1 Annihilator
Had Bulldog Breed 3 and Atomic 2 made it into the annihilator, how would the results have changed?

TG's thoughts
I would list the results as follows.


 * Sixth: Napalm 2 - Ripped apart by The Steel Avenger and Disc-O-Inferno
 * Fifth: Atomic 2 - Severely damaged by Disc-O-Inferno just like Hypno-Disc.
 * Fourth: The Steel Avenger - Two lifting weapons leaves much to be desired for a limited self-righter.
 * Third: Panic Attack - Just the same
 * Second: Disc-O-Inferno - I just haven't seen it dish out damage on the scale of Hypno-Disc, who was actually quite lucky to KO Bulldog Breed the way it did. Meanwhile, Bulldog's flipper would bounce Disco around, and thats the best way to KO a robot like that.
 * First: Bulldog Breed  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  23:28, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

CBFan's Thoughts
Agree with TG completely EXCEPT For Bulldog Breed beating Disc-O-Inferno. I don't think you realise that Hypno-Disc had already immobilised Bulldog Breed BEFORE tearing the link out, so lucky had nothing to do with it. Add to the fact that Disc-O-Inferno's disc is much heavier and spins much faster....CBFan (talk) 07:23, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

Llama's Thoughts
Remember Disco has broken down before and this is the Series 4 version so I reckon that Bulldog Breed could flip it around enough to dislodge something. Llamaman201 (talk) 08:54, December 15, 2009 (UTC)


 * Series 4 version? It's the Extreme Series 1 version. CBFan (talk) 17:50, December 15, 2009 (UTC)


 * Its the same, shape at least and weapon. Llamaman201 (talk) 17:53, December 15, 2009 (UTC)


 * Hmm....I find that difficult to believe, somehow. Sorry, but they're very different. CBFan (talk) 18:40, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

What if the eight billed robots who'd had to pull out never had to? 80.111.172.25 19:57, October 9, 2013 (UTC)

Hypno-Disc/101 outcome
If 101 had defeated Hypno-Disc on that judges decision, how would it have gone in the Grand Final?

TG's thoughts
Well it would have been drawn against Steg, so its a match of two push power monsters with very little weaponry. With no pit, its going to resort to who damages the other with push power (I've seen more from Steg), who has more aggression (I've seen both be pretty aggressive, but I think 101 would have it), who shows more control (definately Steg) and who has better style (I'd have to say that 101 would have style). Steg therefore wins for me, based on weighting.

In the Grand Final, though, Chaos 2 would be more than capable of dispatching Steg.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  23:28, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

Llama's Thoughts
Steg would probably beat 101, just. For 3rd place, Firestorm may have trouble getting under 101 as it is just wider than 101 at the front due to 101's tracks, plus it could get drawn up the tracks. However eventually I think Firestorm will get underneath and flip 101 against a wall, hooking a track over the edge of the arena. Llamaman201 (talk) 08:54, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

How I think Series 4 would have followed:
The rest of the seeds stay how they were.
 * 1) Chaos 2
 * 2) Steg 2
 * 3) Razer
 * 4) Panic Attack
 * 5) Firestorm
 * 6) Behemoth
 * 7) 101
 * 8) Hypno-Disc
 * 9) Gemini

Heat D:


 * Cronos vs Crusader vs 101: 101 rams Cronos. I still think Cronos will go out.
 * 101 vs Iron Awe: 101 bashes the Somerset robot into the wall and out of bounds.
 * 101 vs Mortis: 101 doesn't have a flipper, so Mortis won't have the self righting problem. I think 101 is the better pusher, but Mortis has the lifting arm. I'm going to say 101 will pit Mortis. In the real life battle Mortis' lifter became jammed open, so that will put it at a disadvantage.

Heat E:
 * Gemini vs Dominator 2 vs Henry 2: Still think Henry will go out.
 * Gemini vs Major Tom: the twins flip the poor water barrel over and pit it eventually.
 * Dominator 2 vs Gemini: the axe destroys at least one of the twins, and the series 2&3 semi finalists are dead meat.

Heat F:
 * Hypno-Disc vs Kater Killer vs Tornado: the disc will smash up Kater Killer. The poor cat gets smashed up.
 * Hypno-Disc vs The Creature: the Welsh machine has its armour torn off and its wheels damaged.
 * Hypno-Disc vs Tornado: Hmmm. Tornado with no scoop. I still think that H-D will take this one on damage due to its weapon.

Heat P:
 * Steg 2 vs The Predator vs Raizer Blade: The Predator will be flipped over by Steg 2 and attacked by the house robots meaning it and R-B go through.
 * Steg 2 vs V-Max: Sorry V-Max, but Steg 2 has the better flipper, you're going down, no need for flywheel damage. Out you go!
 * Steg 2 vs Raizer Blade: I suppose R-B could flip over Steg 2, but the dinosaur will ultimately flip Raizer Blade over and out. The second seeds have made it.

Semi Final 1:


 * Chaos 2 vs 101: 101 are no match for that flipper. The reigning champions might even get them out of the arena.
 * Hypno-Disc vs Wheely Big Cheese: The poor cheese gets its wheels smashed in, not unlike the Extreme 1 Mayhem.


 * Chaos 2 vs Hypno-Disc: H-D have a srimech this time, but I still think Chaos 2 will win.
 * Dominator 2 vs Pussycat: no change.

Semi Final 2:
 * Steg 2 vs Splinter: The dinosaur flips over Splinter.


 * Steg 2 vs Wild Thing: I think WT will get its wedge underneath the dinosaur and pit it eventually. The reigning runner-ups are out!

Grand Final:


 * Chaos 2 vs Stinger: same.
 * Pussycat vs Wild Thing: Wild Thing goes through on aggression in my opinion.

Third Place Playoff:
 * Stinger vs Pussycat: not sure.


 * Chaos 2 vs Wild Thing: Chaos 2 throws Wild Thing around. However, Wild Thing shoves him around but Chaos 2 still wins on aggression. Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 17:26, June 28, 2014 (UTC)

Corkscrew in Series 6
Suppose that the pit trigger had worked properly and not waited 20 seconds to open?

RA2's Thoughts
Corkscrew knows to stay away from the pit, and instead focuses on tearing up Panic Attack. Kronic flips Panic attack like it did in the real battle, but this time Panic Attack is out.

Next round, it faces A-Kill, and you can probably guess how that goes; lots of destruction and another win.

Against Terrorhurtz, I have to say that I think Corkscrew can pull off the upset. The thingee on top will block Terrorurtz's axe, whilst the spinning body rips through Terrorhurtz's polycarb armour easily. Now things get interesting.

Onto the semifinals, and here I think Corkscrew is out of luck. Its small shape and high clearance of those blades means Spawn Again will probably OotA it.

In the losers' melee, its opponents are Hypnodisc and Bigger Brother. We know that Bigger Brother is quite hard, and with Hypnodisc in barely-working condition, Bigger Brother just has to concentrate on pitting or flipping Corcksrew, and it goes through.

Now, Bigger Brother faces Spawn Again instead of Terrorhurtz. Now, the outcome depends on how much damage Spawn Again took from Corkscrew, but let's say it's nothing the team couldn't ffix. Now, I have yet to see Spawn Again get more than a few flips in a single match, so if it came down to a battle of endurance, Bigger Brother would take it for sure. All it would have to do it flip it over once or twice, and that's curtains for Spawn Again.

In the Grand Final, Bigger Brother has a grudge match against Razer and loses again. It loses the 3rd place palyoff to Firestorm as well. '''R A 2 ; [http://www.youtube.com/user/ResettisReplicas aka Resetti's Replicas. ] ( My Talk )''' 16:01, December 15, 2009 (UTC)


 * Agree up until Spawn Again. This was the hobbling Series 6 version. Corkscrew could easily destroy Spawn who wouldn't get anywhere near flipping it. Corkscrew meets Bigger Brother who dispatch of Corkscrew easily. Bigger Brother wouldn't face Razer as they were the top 2 seeds, so the draw is now Razer/Tornado and Firestorm/Bigger Brother. Tornado and Firestorm won these encounters in Series 6 and Extreme 2 respectively, so fight in the final. Tornado still champions, Firestorm second, Razer third and Bigger Brother fourth. Seeds for Series 7 stay as they were. J  im laa  d4   3 (talk) 19:27, October 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * If Corkscrew made it to the semi finals instead of Terrorhurtz, the top seedings would probably look like this:


 * 1) Tornado
 * 2) Firestorm 5
 * 3) Bigger Brother
 * 4) Dantomkia
 * 5) Spawn Again
 * 6) Corkscrew
 * 7) 13 Black
 * 8) Panic Attack
 * 9) Pussycat
 * 10) Behemoth
 * 11) X-Terminator
 * 12) Bulldog Breed
 * 13) SMIDSY
 * 14) Thermidor 2
 * 15) Terrorhurtz
 * 16) Storm 2

So, they wouldn't exactly stay the same. Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 22:20, January 3, 2014 (UTC)

Terrorhurtz, Thunderpants, Flippa and Typhoon 2
Lets assume these robots didn't have to drop out of their respective competitions of Series 7 (and also lets assume Typhoon 2 IS in a fully fit working state). How'd that effect Heats 2 and 5, the annihilator and the world championships? CBFan (talk) 17:53, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

TG's thoughts
This is less of a small thing and more like four small things. Regardless, my answers are thus;

1) Terrorhurtz would have defeated Jackson Wallop as it was easier to strike than Gyrobot. It would have hacked both Big Nipper and Grim Reaper, but would have falled to Storm 2.

2) No change, Thunderpants would be side stranded by any of the three. Out in Round 1.

3) No change - Flippa has no capability to defeat any of these remaining robots. 5th.

4)Typhoon 2, its hard. With the pit, I think Tough As Nails could close to distance and shove Typhoon 2 into the pit without taking fatal damage - not saing no damage, just saying it would live. TAN would still win, in my eyes.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  20:00, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

BuggyBash's Thoughts
I agree with the first 3, but I believe that Typhoon could have hit TAN's exposed wheels in the right way and immobilised it. Rawbot wouldn't be a problem. That would set up a grudge match against Storm 2 and I believe Storm 2 would have its revenge and either pit it or throw it to the House Robots. BuggyBash666 15:42, June 10, 2010 (UTC)

Napalm - Series 2
Let's assume Napalm was not cheated out of the competition and Mortis had gone out. This one is NOT as simple as it looks.

CBFan's Thoughts
If Napalm had gone through instead of Mortis, then the line-up would have been completely different. Judging by how both semi-finals did go, it would have been....


 * Panic Attack vs Behemoth
 * Killertron vs Napalm

Now, Killertron, I think, would have beaten Napalm. Panic Attack vs Behemoth, I'm really not sure. Maybe Panic Attack has the edge slightly....CBFan (talk) 20:11, December 15, 2009 (UTC)


 * Why does the lineup have to change, may I ask? Why doesn't Napalm just face Panic Attack? Was the linup decided by Pinball scores?  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  20:13, December 15, 2009 (UTC)


 * 8 or 9/10 times, the line-up in the arena stages of Series 1 and 2 depended on how well the robots did in the trials. For example, in the very first show, we had Nemesis (1st) fighting Roadblock (3rd), with Killertron (2nd) against Shogun (4th). Both Semi-Finals of Series 2 followed this format. CBFan (talk) 20:20, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

Matt's Thoughts
Now call me naive, but I honestly think that Napalm could've got a pitting victory here. I mean I know the robot was very crudley built, but Killertron's axe wasn't brilliant either. For me, strange as it sounds, Napalm could've made a grand final. From there, it would meet Cassius, Panic Attack and Roadblock in the Grand Final. I think against Panic Attack, it would've lost badly, and the same goes for the third place Matt (Talk) 10:22, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Mace beat Panic Attack
On a similar note from above, what if Mace, not Panic Attack, had won the race-off? The same Napalm controversy takes place in the Pinball.

TG's thoughts
Now, in the Pinball, I can't accurately predict Mace's score, but I'd say it could probably beat Behemoth, and its score would be higher than that of Mortis. With Napalm out, the semi-finals are.


 * Killertron vs Mortis: I'd go for Mortis on any occasion if Rob was driving, but since its Ben, I'm going for Killertron to have a better push, even if the axes don't influence anything.
 * Mace vs Behemoth: In my eyes, Mace, no contest.

Now these two move on to the Grand Final. Killertron and Mace fight, and I have a feeling Mace would win by pushing and dodging the axe. Killertron loses to Roadblock again.

In the Grand Final, however, Mace doesn't have the quick push that Panic Attack had, and I think Cassius claims the title.  TG    (t    c)  12:17, June 10, 2010 (UTC)

Stock Robots thrown Gauntlet
What would have happened had the Stock Robots sabotaged themselves in the Gauntlet, rather than the Trial, meaning that Barry, Plunderbird and Elvis went through?

TG's thoughts

 * Heat A: Barry can defeat or stalemate Shunt, but lets say it takes first place. Shogun is now eliminated. Barry fights Killertron, and loses. The rest of the Heat plays out in the same way.


 * Heat C: Plunderbird is able to move, which gives it one up on Dreadnaut. Its a good machine, so lets assume it takes the second goal. This now means that Robot the Bruce fights and beats Wedgehog in the Arena Semi-Final, whilst Plunderbird beats Cruella. In the final, I think Robot the Bruce is in trouble, and gets tipped over by Plunderbird 1.


 * Heat F: Elvis is a pretty substandard robot, but TRACIE getting stuck means that its the end of the line. Prince of Darkness now fights Elvis, and wins, whilst Skarab beats the Blob. In the final, I think Prince of Darkness is much more capable of pulling off victory. Jeremy Clarkson would have a fit, but still...


 * Grand Final: Now with two altered finalists. Cunning Plan is not going to last long, one way or another, its out. Recyclopse and Prince of Darkness would also be defeated, leaving only three robots left with a chance at the title. For me, Roadblock was always the most potent, and its huge shape means that nothing short of a large flipper will deny it the championship. Roadblock wins, but manages to overturn Bodyhammer this time, meaning Plunderbird comes the unofficial second.  TG    (t    c)  12:29, June 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * I disagree with Prince of Darkness beating Skarab, considering that it's 60kg lighter than Skarab, and is only equipped with spikes. Skarab looks sturdy enough to win. I feel that Skarab would have lasted about as long as Recyclopse in the Grand Final.  ManU Crazy   (talk)  16:58, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

Matt's Thoughts

 * Barry would've defeated Shunt, and tipped over Killertron, before being defeated in a close judges decision by Roadblock


 * Agree with TG, Plunderbird would've won the heat


 * Skarab to win this one, smashing Prince of Darkness to a pulp, JC kisses the team

In the grand final, Cunning Plan goes out first, Roadblock then tips over Skarab, then Recyclopse, then Plunderbird, but fails to beat Bodyhammer Matt (Talk) 10:27, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

If Cassius 2 had won....
Against Pussycat, How do you think it would have changed the course of series 3?

TG's thoughts
It would have easily beaten Scutter's Revenge and 101. Against Hypno-Disc, I think it would certainly lose, because rear-hinged flippers are very hard to pull off a quick victory with. Cassius would have to all the way underneath Hypno-Disc to take it out, but I think a few hard slams from the disc would have left Cassius in trouble - the armour is only polycarb.  TG    (t    c)  23:14, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

LightningStorm93's thoughts
I agree with TG up to the battle with Hypno-Disc. I believe that Cassius 2 has the capability to defeat Hypno-Dsic, as at the time, Hypno-Disc's flywheel was only running at half speed. As Cassius has an adjustable ground clearance and a high top speed, I think it'd be able to outmaneuver Hypno-Disc, and get underneath and flip it over. Against Steg-O-Saw-Us, I think that Cassius can get in underneath Steg and flip it over, much like in Steg's battle with Gravedigger, though it'd be hard pressed to get underneath Steg with it's constant ramming. However, in the Grand Final, Cassius 2 would put up an absolutely brutal battle with Chaos 2, but here, Cassius's run ends with a loss on a judges decision. LightningStorm93 18:36, March 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * There also wouldn't have been that disqualification drama that happened after the battle between Pussycat and Scutter's Revenge. Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 11:51, August 23, 2014 (UTC)

Bigger Brother flipping Typhoon 2 in Round 1
What would have happened if Iron Awe had not flipped Bigger Brother out with and had lost to the seeded machine? Dandaman012 11:41, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

Buggy's Thoughts
Bigger Brother vs Hypno Disc. With no comeback BuggyBash666 16:20, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

Ok i decided to adjust this one slightly. What would have happened if during the First Round of the heat, Bigger Brother had successfully re-righted Collosus and Typhoon 2 had been counted out instead? The second round draw remains the same but with Collosus fighting Hammerhead 2 instead of Typhoon 2. Dandaman012 12:12, August 16, 2010 (UTC)

TG's thoughts
Much better.


 * Colossus loses to Hammerhead 2
 * Hammerhead 2 loses to Iron Awe 2.1
 * Iron Awe 2.1 loses to Thermidor 2
 * Thermidor 2 loses to Atomic
 * Atomic loses to X-Terminator
 * X-Terminator loses to Storm 2

 Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  12:15, August 16, 2010 (UTC)

Hammerhead 2 would defeat Colossus before losing to Iron Awe. Thermidor 2 would then defeat Iron Awe before losing to Atomic. I think that Atomic could flip X-terminator over and then possible defeat Storm 2 by flipping it oota to win the championship.TheStigisaRobot 15:00, October 5, 2010 (UTC)

Killertron in Extreme Annihilator 1
What if Killalot hadn't interfered and pitted Killertron in the Mayhem, and Killertron had gone through to the Annihilator instead of Splinter. Would the outcome of changed in any way? Hogwild94 20:13, August 16, 2010 (UTC)

It wouldn't last long in the Annihilator. Hypno-Disc would damage it and Thermidor 2 and Splinter would attack it. 6th place. User:ShotgunJustice


 * You realise that Splinter wouldn't be there if Killertron was? Llamaman201 (talk) 09:45, October 3, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, I overlooked that. Anyway, still 6th or 5th if it survived before Thermidor broke down. ShotgunJustice 09:59, October 3, 2010 (UTC)

Tsunami in series 7
Had Tsunami left X-terminator to be counted out, how far do you think it would have gone in series 7? I think it would defeat St Agro on a Judges decision or by flipping it oota, before flipping Bulldog Breed out. Then it would defeat Typhoon 2 by simply flipping it over, and I think that by using aggressive driving and its superior speed, Tsunami could flip Storm 2 over before flipping it oota or exploiting the inverted scoop by shoving it down the pit.TheStigisaRobot 15:00, October 5, 2010 (UTC)

I agree with all but Tsumani beating Storm 2. I think Storm 2 would pit Tsunami. Middle Eye 20:26, February 27, 2011 (UTC)

Spawn Again in Series 7
What would have happened if Spawn Again's pneumatic ram didn't burst in its Heat Final? Personally, I think that it would OotA Raging Knightmare, and then pull off the upset against Tornado. This version impressed me a lot more than in Series 6, and I think it would win on a judges decision. Then, due to Gravity's constant wheelies, I can see Spawn Again in the Grand Final. It wouldn't beat Storm 2, though, but would defeat X-Terminator with one flip. Middle Eye 20:26, February 27, 2011 (UTC)

Storm2's thoughts
The flipper will be key, as when RK flipped Spawn over, it almost flipped itself over as well. I'm not sure about OotA, but Raging Knightmare is hardly the most robust of machines, so Spawn Again will flip until Raging breaks. Against Tornado, again, invertible, but I think the disc only works to its full potential on Tornado if it's the right way round. As for the rest of its arsenal, well, one flip and it's cannon fodder. Spawn tosses Tornado out of the arena. Totally agree, Gravity's wheelies make it vulnerable for the few seconds its front is off the ground. If Spawn Again is in the right place at the right time, it can use its speed to flip Gravity out of the arena from the rear. The Grand Final is where it turns turtle. Even though Spawn claim to be as fast as Storm 2, I never saw it that fast, and Storm isn't the kind of machines that Spawn Again can catch. Storm will dodge until it pushes Spawn down the pit. One flip, and it's curtains for X-Terminator, whose srimech is much to be desired when upside-down.-- STORM  II   14:50, October 29, 2011 (UTC)

VampireWeekend4ever's thoughts
If they beat Raging Knihtmare, the draw would be like this: Tornado vs Tough as Nails Dantomkia vs Gravity X Terminator vs St Agro Spawn Again vs Bulldog Breed

Tornado v TAN: tough one. Both are very good pushers, but TAN could pierce Tornado's sides and so considerable damage. Then it could pit Tornado. Spawn Again vs Bulldog Breed. Two very good flippers, but I reckon S.A. would just edge it.

Now TAN faces Gravity, and it would be a repeat of the World Championship Qualifier. Gravity pitted, TAN in the final.

Now XT versus Spawn Again, and that's being discussed further up. Two different finalists.

Now, the grand final. TAN faces Storm 2. TAN ends up pitted. Now Spawn Again faces Typhoon 2, and I think Typhoon could seriously damage SA.

The grand final plays out how it did, but in the playoff, I reckon TAN would pit Spawn Again. Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 17:10, March 17, 2014 (UTC)


 * I can see why you shifted the battles around, because of the seedings (you wouldn't have the first seed against the sixth seed with so many unseeded robots), but I really can't see Tough As Nails getting the better of Tornado. Tornado isn't quite as powerful as Storm 2, but still, a four wheel drive powerful machine against two wheel drive... Plus I don't think Tough As Nails' crusher getting through the sides of Tornado, it got through Robochicken but that had quite thin armour. Spawn Again against Bulldog Breed, with two fully fit robots I really wouldn't like to call it, but I'd probably agree with you for a limping Bulldog Breed. The rest I agree with. Combatwombat555 (talk) 21:34, March 17, 2014 (UTC)

What if The Big Cheese had beaten Chaos 2?
How would the rest of the series have gone if this had happened? The Big Cheese would have been able to easily defeat Trident by turning it over, and up against Mace 2, it'd turn it's opponent over, albeit with a few close calls. In the grand final, up against Firestorm, it'd be very difficult for The Big Cheese to defeat Firestorm. However, should The Big Cheese successfully defeat Firestorm, which I would assume would be done by The Big Cheese turning Firestorm over several times and avoiding being flipped, winning on a judges decision, I think that The Big Cheese would be able to defeat Hypno-Disc, as its armour is probably strong enough to stand up to the flywheel, and Roger Plant could probably stop the flywheel by clamping it with the lifter, and in the time it takes to get it started again, would successfully turn Hypno-Disc over. So, Roger Plant would take home the Series 3 title, proving that The Big Cheese is just what he said it was. --LightningStorm93 19:18, February 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Trident and Mace would clearly lose to the Big Cheese, but Firestorm would definitely slide in underneath Big Cheese (like with Facet) at least once in 5 minutes to win, since Big Cheese can't self right. Firestorm loses to Hypno-Disc, since it probably won't get at least half of its flipping arm underneath without the disc hitting it (or the wedge) and deflecting away while causing damage. Hypno-Disc claims the title by KO. And for the record, I don't believe that Big Cheese would have beaten Hypno-Disc either.  ManU Crazy   (talk)  20:20, February 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Your logic for Big Cheese beating Firestorm is very unlikely. I could use that same logic to suggest that Colossus or Knightmare could defeat Firestorm, because all you've said is "could flip and avoid and win judges". I believe that ManU has got it exactly right, though even Mace 2 would put up a good fight against the Big Cheese.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  20:54, February 28, 2011 (UTC)

Fair enough. I can see your point here, but The Big Cheese was definitely capable of reaching the grand final at least. --LightningStorm93 21:00, February 28, 2011 (UTC)

What if there were no Hardened Arena Spikes?
This is something of an Elephant in the Room, if I say so myself. As we all know, the Hardened Arena Spikes in series 3 robbed us of some very interesting battles. If they weren't there, Behemoth would've defeated Pitbull in the heat final, as it was easily able to turn it over, but it would be outmanoeuvred in the semi-final by Firestorm, who would go in on Behemoth's vulnerable sides and flip it around until it won the judges decision. Darke Destroyer may well have beaten Gravedigger, as it'd be able to win more points in the damage category, as well as being a very awkward shape for Gravedigger to try and flip. However, it would be rammed into submission by Steg in the semis. Berserk 2, with its hardened armour, would be able to stand up to Hypno-Disc's flywheel, and without the flip it recieved from the spike, would manage to edge the judges decision, if only just. In the semi-finals, it would be able to beat Evil Weevil by either axing it until it's immobile or by turning it over with the forklift. After this, it'd have an absolutely brutal battle with 101. It'd be very close, but with it's axe and the hard armour, I think it'd be able to clinch a victory. However, I think it'd ultimately be outclassed in terms of sheer power by Steg-O-Saw-Us, but if it could survive the ramming and hold Steg off to a judges decision, as well as bring it's axe into play, it may be able to just about take a decision. However, no matter who wins that battle, Chaos 2 would dominate the final without question. It's a shame that that damn spike had to ruin so many battles. There could certainly have been some impressive outcomes from the underdogs. --LightningStorm93 21:29, February 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Behemoth would have beatn Pitbull and lost to Firestorm.
 * Darke Destroyer would still have lost to Gravedigger, it was only a matter of time until flipped.
 * Berserk 2 would need to have done more than survive, which I doubt. Hypno-Disc still win.
 * S.M.I.D.S.Y., can't prove this was arena spike damage, but I'd like to think so, so lets say victory over Rattus, Dreadnaut and maybe Trident, before obliteration by Chaos 2.
 * Scarab still loses to Victor.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  22:51, February 28, 2011 (UTC)

What about Wild Willy and Schumey Too? Both their losses were (in effect) the result of getting flicked by the spike, loosing control, and driving into the pit. Wild Willy would've beaten Evil Weevil and Panzer, but Hypno-Disc would probably have destroyed it before it could do anything to harm it. Schumey Too could possibly beat Diotoir, but certainly not Firestorm. Hogwild94 21:34, May 9, 2011 (UTC)

Behemoth would have beatn Pitbull,Firestorm as this Firestorm had a slow lifting bar and Behemoth would lost to Panic Attack as Kim Davies being one of the best drivers in the UK competition. Darke Destroyer would still have lost to Gravedigger, it was only a matter of time until flipped Berserk 2 would survive to the judges Hypno-Disc still win

Mortis being more reliable
in Series 3 Mortis one of its tracks broke in it lost to Gravedigger and Series 4 the lifing arm became jammed open


 * The idea is you post your thoughts....and please remember to use proper grammar and sign your name in future. Thank you. CrashBash 10:25, May 21, 2011 (UTC)

GF's thoughts

 * Even still, I think it's something worth considering- how well Mortis would've done if it had gotten past those stages where it had fallen short due to the reliability.


 * If Mortis had won against Gravedigger in Series 3, I personally think it could've actually done very well. It would've beaten Darke Destroyer quite easily (A standard flip/axe job.), and from there would've been in the Semis. Against Steg-O-Saw-Us, it would've been a very back-and-forth pushing match which goes in its favour, due to getting in some nice axe blows and the occasional lift with the arm. Then there's Beast of Bodmin in the Second Round. Here, I see Mortis hacking into its fiberglass armour with the Tanto, before lifting the Cornish machine onto its back and doing the same to its chassis to win by KO.


 * In the Grand Final, it'd then come up against Hypno Disc, in its original incarnation. I see this one going in its favour as well- although the armour's not quite up to the "Diamond Coated" level it was in the next series, that's still Carbon Fibre, Kevlar and Titanium there amongst other things, so it's still very strong, and it has the good power and ramming wedge shape behind it as well, which will be key. Here, I see Mortis constantly shoving Hypno Disc around the Arena, interspersed with periods where it shoves it into the House Robots or hits it with the Axe. Eventually I'm seeing it either winning the Decision on Damage and Aggression, or perhaps if it's feeling ambitious, stopping the disc and then turning Hypno Disc over to win and make the Final.
 * Last of all, the Grand Final, which would be against Chaos 2. Although it would've done well to make it this far, this is where I think Mortis would come unstuck. It has quite a high ground clearance, slow self-righting, and one of its big weaknesses is how easily its weapons can be nullified by being flipped over. I can't see George Francis bottling this one, so ultimately, Mortis will finish Second and Chaos 2 will become Champion after constantly throwing the Cambridge-based machine around to win the decision.


 * As for Series 4 however, the unlucky draw against Chaos 2 (In this case, again!) will seal its fate quite early on. It'll be thrown around the Arena and eventually either pitted or put out of the Arena by the Reigning Champions, and from there the Series continues as normal. Well unless the draws are shuffled around to accommodate the altered Seeds, but I'm going to go with what's there for the moment. --GoldenFox93 (talk) 21:50, May 29, 2014 (UTC)

Pussycat's Hardened Blade
So we all know Pussycat was DQ'ed for the hardened blade it used in the heat final against Scutter's Revenge back in the 3rd Wars. But what if the team never swapped it out and stuck with the regular blade? Would it have still beat Scutter's Revenge? If so, how far in the Semis do you think it could have gone? I like to think it could beat 101... --BizarroKing 00:30, February 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * Remember that Pussycat was declared the winner of its fight with Scutter's Revenge, and only then was it disqualified. However, 101 is a very blade-resistant shape, and additionally, 101 relies on pushing to win matches, and Pussycat is very easy to shove around. So I'm gonna say that it would play out roughly the same. Toast  Ultimatum  00:40, February 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think Pussycat would possibly beat 101 on damage, maybe it could make a few scratch marks on its shell and tracks. If Pussycat did win, I would say against Hypno-Disc it would have its wheels ripped off. Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 18:56, August 14, 2014 (UTC)


 * 101 was only scratched by Hypno-Disc so Pussycat wouldn't do as much damage. I think 101 would win after pushing the kitty into the house robots, the flame pits and the floor spikes. Sam (BAZINGA) 19:53, August 14, 2014 (UTC)

Fluffy vs. Pussycat
On another note of Pussycat, what if Fluffy didn't break down. Pussycat was getting lambasted in that fight, and only won by a fluke. If Fluffy then went further, I believe it had a strong chance of beating Panic Attack. If it went even further, then Firestorm's armour looks like it could take a buffeting from Fluffy. But Fluffy also has a high ground clearance. Or it could break down, as usual. What do you guys think? Toast Ultimatum  00:53, February 12, 2012 (UTC)

Firestorm would flip Fluffy until it breaks down.Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 22:32, April 30, 2014 (UTC)

Hypno-Disc - Victorious
What if Hypno-Disc didn't suddenly lose it to Bigger Brother? What if Hypno-Disc had persisted, hung on, or whatever, to defeat Bigger Brother and face Razer in the final? I'm asking what would happen in the final, and the playoff between Firestorm 3 and Bigger Brother. Datovidny (talk) 20:26, March 1, 2012 (UTC)

Datovidny's Thoughts
Firestorm 3 would come out on top ahead of Bigger Brother, partly because it would've been limping after the Grand Final Eliminator, and partly because Firestorm proved mant times in Robot Wars to be superior to a fully functioning Bigger Brother. However, in the final, Razer's armour was, to be fair, average, weak enough therefore for Hypno-Disc to cause Razer terminal damage, quick enough to prevent Razer doing the opposite to Hypno-Disc, as Hypno-Disc's armour was actually quite strong by Series 5. Datovidny (talk) 20:51, March 1, 2012 (UTC)

Snowdog140's Thoughts
Bigger Brother to finish third because its flipper is better than Firestorm's, driving is pretty much even so maybe an OOTA....Final, hm, well, Razer will need to turn on a sixpence to get to the vulnerables of Hypno-Disc, whereas one lucky shot with the disc has Razer immobile, so I'd say the Roses finally winning the crown. Charlie M 20:44, March 1, 2012 (UTC)

ToastUltimatum's Thoughts
Well, no questions regarding the playoff. Firestorm is far too big for Bigger Brother to flip out of the arena, and Bigger Brother, in turn, is very small itself. Plus, Firestorm can get under almost anything, and I think it would be a repeat of their clash in Extreme 2, or just a straight OotA. In fact, the latter is rather likely.

Hypno-Disc vs. Razer is a tough one, as Razer could get in there first, and if Razer did get the first touch, it should be able to get through Hypno-Disc's armour. If Hypno-Disc did get the opportunity though, it could wreck Razer's armour. I'm not going to try and call that one. Toast Ultimatum

Roadblock eliminated in the Skittles trial
What if Limpet had somehow scored just enough points to shockingly eliminate the series 1 champ Roadblock in Heat G of the Second Wars? How do you think the rest of the series would play out?

Here's my view: Let's say Limpet would face Killerhurtz in place of Roadblock...I'm not 100 percent sure how well Limpet would do in combat but I have a feeling Killerhurtz has this one beat and axes it's foe to death, leaving them to face Onslaught in the heat finals. I can see Killerhurtz winning this fight as well and as such makes it to the series semi finals.

With Plunderbird 2's poor 0.9 distance in the gauntlet, they're still out. Killerhurtz did well in the 4th wars pinball but poorly in the 3rd....I'll say they'll make it to around 150 pts and just beat G.B.H.

Going with the 1st vs 3rd and 2nd vs 4th matchups, it should be King Buxton vs Killerhurtz. I can see King Buxton taking this one and slam Killerhurtz all around, defeating them via judges decision if not KOing them, while Cassius still beats Haardvark.

In the grand finals, I can see Cassius still pull off the win over King Buxton and Buxton defeating Killertron in the playoff. So the grand final remains the same, just with King Buxton taking 3rd instead. But that's my opinion what do you think?--BizarroKing (talk) 20:48, July 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * Killerhurtz should beat Limpet with ease, axe vs non-weaponed budget bot and all. Onslaught, well that's tricky to call.  Killerhurtz can't go as fast as it, and Onslaught's armour is way too hard for it to break.  I see Onslaught either boradsiding Killerhurtz into the CPZ or flipping it with that wedge.


 * Gauntlet and trial, Onslaught shouldn't even break a sweat if we assume the other robots do exactly the same. Onslaught will tear up the pinball course, a small and fast robot is the house bots' worst nightmare, it should come in first like Roadblock.  This means it faces King B, who should be able to out-maneuver and out-push its way to victory.  King B loses to cassius but beats Killertron for 3rd. R A 2 ; aka Resetti's Replicas.

T-Wrecks competing in Series 3
What if T-Wrecks didn't have to pull out and Steg-O-Saw-Us never competed? What do you think would happen?

I think T-Wrecks would still win the heat but lose in Round 1 of the Semis to Gravedigger who would in turn lose to Beast of Bodmin, putting Beast in the Grand Final where they would (in my opinion) Beat Hypno-Disc before losing to Chaos 2. Hypno-Disc would lose again to Firestorm.

Now what are your opinions? Badnik96 01:03, May 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * If T-Wrecks was subpar in Series 7, then I can't fathom how the unimproved version would be. I have to assume less reliable.  Steg O Saw Us' heat was frankly not difficult to win.  I'll say it breaks down against ORAC, who loses to Henry, who loses to Napalm.  Napalm loses to Gravedigger, who beats Beast of Bodmin.  Hypno beats Gravedigger, Firestorm beats Gravedigger in the playoff. R A 2 ; aka Resetti's Replicas.  ( My Talk ) 04:01, May 1, 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, but I can't see Gravedigger beating Beast of Bodmin. Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 19:20, April 25, 2014 (UTC)


 * It's a difficult one, but ultimately I think Gravedigger has more killing power. Beast of Bodmin can't really immobilise Gravedigger with its weapons; if it manages to get a flip in on Gravedigger, it should just self-right. The reverse isn't true. Whoever goes through, though, I can't see either of them beating Hypno-Disc, so it's of no real consequence. Combatwombat555 (talk) 19:24, April 25, 2014 (UTC)

Assuming that Gravedigger makes the final, here's how I think seeds 7-32 will look:
 * 1) Chaos 2
 * 2) Hypno-Disc
 * 3) Razer
 * 4) Panic Attack
 * 5) Firestorm 2
 * 6) Behemoth
 * 7) Gravedigger
 * 8) Gemini
 * 101
 * 1) Spawn of Scutter
 * 2) Wild Thing
 * 3) Evil Weevil 2
 * 4) Bigger Brother
 * 5) Wheely Big Cheese
 * 6) Killerhurtz
 * 7) King B3
 * 8) Cerberus
 * 9) Pussycat
 * 10) Aggrobot
 * 11) Diotoir
 * 12) X-Terminator 2
 * 13) Mortis
 * 14) Berserk 2
 * 15) Shadow of Napalm
 * 16) Plunderbird
 * 17) Sir Chromalot
 * 18) Weld-Dor 2
 * 19) Dreadnaut XP1
 * 20) Stinger
 * 21) Centurion
 * 22) Suicidal Tendencies
 * 23) Darke Destroyer (it looked more reliable than Inverterbrat)

Cerberus, let's say, has to remove the head as in real life. I think it will falk to ATD and Medusa 2000. In the second round, Atomic sends either ATD or Cerberus flying out before falling to Chaos 2.
 * Heat A:

Aggrobot replaces Pussycat, and rams Milly-Ann Bug into submission. In round 2, Razer beats Reptirron, and Aggrobot pits Robochicken. In the heat final I'll assume Razer gets revenge on Aggy.
 * Heat B:

X-Terminator takes on Ming 2 and Bolt from the Blue, where it gets Ming 2 in the pit, I reckon, after BFTB flips the Bath robot over. In round 2, X-Terminator pits Morgue, but Firestorm 2 beats it in the heat final.
 * Heat C:

Gravedigger vs Cronos vs Crusader 2. I think Gravedigger will prevail in this heat starter. In the secind round, it flips over Iron-Awe, whilst Berserk 2 beats Mazakari and Crusader 2 only to be flipped over and beaten by Gravedigger.
 * Heat D:

Plunderbird 4 grips Major Tom and pushes it around, but Disc-O-Inferno breaks down before Major Tom can go out. Dominator 2 then dominates poor and Plunderbird then 101.
 * Heat E:

Shadow of Napalm goes for The Creature, but Inverterbrat suffers the same malfunction. In round 2 Tornado beats SON. Rest as normal.
 * Heat F:

Bigger Brother and an unseeded Steg 2 fight in Gravedigger and Darke Destroyer's places. BB goes for Thermidor's high ground clearance so no semi final for the lobster. Meanwhile, Steg 2 and Stinger dent Warhog and flip it over, but Warhog has rubbish reliability anyway. In round 2, the two seeds wouldn't be drawn against each other, so Bigger Brother fights Steg 2, and I think it would win, and Kronic fights Stinger, where I think Stinger would dent Kronic's armour. Stinger dominates the heat final due to BB's crappy armour.
 * Heat G:

The seeds are Killerhurtz and Darke Destroyer 2. Killerhurtz smashes in Prizephita's armour, while DD2 and Killertron gang up on Maverick. Killerhurtz vs Killertron: I think Killerhurtz will kill Killertron, disagrwe with me if you like. DD2 beats Wheelosaurus in what surely must be a weak-looking heat. In the heat final, Killerhurtz dismantles Darke Destroyer.
 * Heat H:

King B3 pits Destruct-a-bubble, while Suicidal Tendencies and Splinter get rid of Small Torque. King B3 then pits Splinter, and ST beats Eric. In the heat final, Suicidal Tendencies picks up the so-called King and pits it.
 * Heat I:

The seeds are Wheely Big Cheese and Centurion. The former throws over Clawed Hopper with its giant flipper, and the latter is flipped over by Bulldog Breed and rammed by Spikasaurus. Round 2 sees Spikasaurus dented by Hammer and Tong, and Wheely Big Cheese outclass Bulldog Breed with its flipper. Wheely's too strong for Hammer and Rong in the heat final.
 * Heat J:

Dreadnaut XP1 takes Weld-Dor's place for this heat. Here, I thobk it can send Sunpthing packing by forking underneath it. In round 2, the lone seed is unable to get under Mousetrap and Mousetrap either dents it to win on damage, or pits it. The final plays out as normal.
 * Heat K:

Sir Chromalot and Vercingetorix get rid of Fatboy Tin easily. In round 2, Sir Chromalot is rolled over by Knightmare, denying an all-Essex heat final.
 * Heat L:

Weld-Dor and Reactor help to beat Scorpion, before Weld-Dor is outclassed by the Steel Avenger who loses to Wild Thing.
 * Heat M:

Mortis takes on Judge Shred and Millennium Bug. Same result. Mortis then beats Arnold A Terminegger, and the heat final is a repeat of the world championship, and Behemoth betters Mortis.
 * Heat N:

Diotoir and Saw Point dispatch of Oblivion. Diotoir then falls foul of SMIDSY.
 * Heat O:

Pussycat and V-Max team up to flip over and carve into Terrorbull. Pussycat then tears Raizer Blade's armour apart, and the heat final is the biggest upset of them all - Pussycat easily beat HypnoDisc in the real life grand final, so I can't see that changing here. The #2 seeds are out.
 * Heat P:


 * Semi 1:
 * Chaos 2 vs Gravedigger: Chaos 2 wins without question.
 * Killerhurtz vs Tornado: Tornado smacks Killerhurtz around the place.
 * Stinger vs Razer: This will be a close one, but I think Razer could ultimately win.
 * Firestorm 2 vs Dominator: no change.
 * Chaos 2 vs Tornado: no change.
 * Dominator 2 vs Razer: Dominator wins on damage, for me.


 * Semi 2:
 * Wheely Big Cheese vs Mousetrap: Wheely wins this one, because of its weapon.
 * Spawn of Scutter vs Panic Attack: same.
 * Pussycat vs Suicidal Tendencies: Pussycat will probably win this one.
 * Wild Thing vs Behemoth: Behemoth's got the scoop, so I think they could win here!
 * Wheely Big Cheese vs Panic Attack: Well in the real series five we saw it flip PA. Ultimately i think it can muster a few flips, but Panic Attack will have a better chance.
 * Behemoth vs Pussycat: Pussycat tears shreds out of the Hertfordshire machine.


 * Final:
 * Chaos 2 vs Panic Attack: Panic Attack gets sent out of the arena.
 * Pussycat vs Dominator 2: no change.
 * Panic Attack vs Dominator 2: Difficult one, but ultimately I think it's going to Dominator 2, thanks to its axe.
 * And Chaos 2 beats Pussycat to take the title once again.

So a lot could have changed in the fourth wars if Steg 2 hadn't entered series 3! Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 20:53, January 23, 2015 (UTC)

Beserk 2 in Series 4
What if Beserk 2 was kept the design and armour of the Series 3 model B2?

I think it would have been able to beat Tornado, but it would lose to Gemini. If Gemini would then lose to Wheely Big Cheese, who would then lose to Chaos 2. If Gemini beat WBC, Chaos 2 would send one of the clusterbots OOTA. Does any one agree with me?  Mad looney 6 10:59, May 3, 2012 (UTC)

Typhoon 2 in the 3rd World Championship
Team Typhoon had to choose between the Middleweight championship and the 3rd World Championship. Suppose they made the opposite call?

RA2

 * First, the Middleweight Championship with no Typhoon. Dear oh dear, what was already a boring match certainly won't be better with the only destructive weapon out of the picture.  I'm going for Phoenix, it looked considerably faster and could probably broadside the lengthy Steel Sandiwch.


 * Second, the World Championship. Typhoon is deceptively swift, and its ability to dodge until spun up was pretty flawless.  Tough As Nails isn't going to be the one exceptional robot that can outdo this.  Pincers are inherently fragile, even if TAN can get a grip, Typhoon will probably strike that hinge between the pincers and immobilize them.  It could als smash TAN's ram at the back.


 * Storm 2 is tougher to call, it's hard to say which team would benefit more from a rematch, since both sides believe they played a perfect game the first time. I'm goign to predict Storm 2 for the win, because if they had been bolder with their attacks, then the decision would have been much less justifiable.  And by Cairns' own admission, Typhoon's spinner does sometimes stall, being a petrol engine.  So yeah, if Storm 2 can do more ramming, and keep Typhoon near the wall or CPZ, it should win the decision, thus normalizing the rest of the competition. R A 2 ; aka Resetti's Replicas.

Prizephita beating Wild Thing
If Prizephita was awarded the win against Wild Thing in the 5th wars, how would it have done? Well, in the next round,it would meet defending double champion Chaos 2. Prizephita could certainly give a decent battle, but ultimately would be defeated by the champs. Again, up against S3 and Spawn Again, it would most likely be defeated. Ultimately, the loss of Prizephita in the heats meant that the brilliant Wild Thin vs Chaos 2 battle could happen. Jimlaad43 (talk) 10:43, June 24, 2013 (UTC)

Bulldog Breed Disqualified
What if Bulldog Breed was disqualified for the mesh? Well for starters, Heat K would have been even duller than it already was.Infernal Contraption mounted an attack in the battle, so would have gone through with Mantis. Hard would easily deflect IC's attacks and dominate the match. Hard vs Kat 3 is tougher, but Hard has decent armour and Kat 3 has always struggled to self-right, so Hard goes through to the semis. Hard meets Tough As Nails and is conveniently the perfect size and shape for TAN to grab and pit. So Tough as Nails now fights X-Terminator, who cannot damage the HARDOX and consequently loses the judges decision due to TAN's pushing prowess. In the Grand Final, TAN meets Typhoon 2. As discussed in Ragnabot Heat N, Tough As Nails would just have the edge to win this. The third place playoff sees Typhoon battle Tornado using the chain flail scoop. Typhoon 2 would cause some damage to Tornado's side and takes 3rd place. The final between Storm II and Tough As Nails plays out largely like the 3rd World Championship fight where TAN grabs Storm but gets out pushed and pitted. Storm II are champions of series 7 and Mentorn go nuts and try to disqualify Storm II but fail. J im laa  d4   3 (talk) 15:44, July 30, 2013 (UTC)
 * I kinda wish this actually happened now. Hard as a heat winner is quite laughable, and I totally believe it would happen, unless they were drawn against Mantis instead. Toast  Ultimatum  22:22, November 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * No, it would be over quickly as Mantis couldn't self-right. Hard vs TAN would be the quickest pit immobilisation battle ever, as it would be just like the pitting of Scraptosaur. Tough As Nails vs X-Terminator would be an interesting battle to watch, as would Typhoon 2 vs Tornado, because I think Tornado wasn't the best against side impacts. J  im laa  d4   3 (talk) 22:25, November 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * Mantis can self-right, that I'm pretty sure of. CrashBash (talk) 22:50, November 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * Can it? I still think even with this that Hard would win the battle. J  im laa  d4   3 (talk) 23:04, November 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * I think Mantis has it easy no matter what, it can just pick up the tiny Hard and carry it around. Hard might not even be able to flip Mantis over, it only ever flipped robots up instead of over. Toast  Ultimatum  23:06, November 7, 2013 (UTC)

Wild Thing in series 5
Ok, this one will sound absolutely mundane, but as stated on Wild Thing's page, for series 5, the spike on the end of the lance was taken off, and the lance itself was shortened to stop it getting in the way of the disc. Well, what would happen if the lance was kept at the same length, and still didn't affect the disk. I have a feeling Wild Thing's heat battles would've been the same. But in the semi final against Chaos 2, we all know how close to pitting Chaos 2 Wild Thing was, as it was pushing against the wheels with its lance, now with the lengthened lance, Wild Thing successfully pits Chaos 2. Chaos 2 goes down to the loser's melee, where I can see it going after Spawn Again, who ends up upside down with the flipper open and is counted out. Chaos 2 then takes on S3, and we know Chaos 2 struggled with spinners in its later life, so lets go for the shock and say S3 buckles the side armour into the wheel of Chaos 2 which locks up, and the champs are out again, with no coming back. So, S3 is reinstated, and now it faces either Wild Thing or Razer, lets say it still faces Razer and loses. Now Bigger Brother vs Wild Thing, and I think that the disc will be Wild Thing's downfall, as Bigger Brother gets underneath it, lifting it up, before flipping it over and against the arena wall, with either an OotA, or a judges' decision in Bigger Brother's favour.

So the seeding changes in series 6, with Wild Thing seeded 5th, Dominator 2 6th, S3 7th Chaos 2 8th, Panic Attack 9th. Wild Thing now participates in Heat C, and I think it could probably make it through its first round melee, probably with Iron Awe 2.1, as they won't be flipped out this time. Dantomkia beats Iron Awe like in the Challenge Belt, and Wild Thing watches Crushtacean drive into the pit. The heat Final sees Dantomkia through as Wild Thing's compact shape seems easier to flip out.

Now Chaos 2 fights in Panic Attack's heat, where it can win its first round melee with Kronic, who loses to Terrorhurtz, whilst Chaos 2 fights brilliantly against A Kill, who is breaking apart from the constant flips. Chaos 2 fights Terrorhurtz in the final, and I think this is a very difficult decision. But I think Terrorhurtz impressed me enough in series 6 to beat Chaos 2 to beat the new eighth seeds in a shock, also abiding by the eighth seed curse.

Now Panic Attack fights in Wild Thing's heat, where it can maybe take out UFO and the Stag. Now Panic Attack Au fights 259, and remember that this version of PA was no where near as durable as Wild Thing was, so 259 can probably win, now it fights Vader in the heat final, and I think it can pull it off, by probably flipping Vader or breaking through the armour or dislocating the disc, putting them through to the semis.

Now 259 fights Razer in the semis, I can imagine one of the wings breaking, but Razer can probably beat 259 well, absolutely destroying it, and putting it out of the running for the Loser's Melee, or at least putting it in very bad shape for it, and with Dantomkia and 13 Black in there, I can't see it lasting very long.

But, as 259 reached the semis, it fights in the All Stars, provided it didn't retire after series 6, where it faces a rematch in Razer and 13 Black, but I don't think 259 will survive the first melee.

Well, that's a huge change, especially for something as simple as keeping the self righting lance the same length. Well, that was my thoughts, what are yours? RelicRaider (talk) 20:35, August 9, 2013 (UTC)

Mortis in Wild Card Warriors
What if Mortis had fought Axe Awe as originally planned, and not Panic Attack?
 * Not much different. Mortis would have won. Nothing else really. J  im laa  d4   3 (talk) 09:24, October 1, 2013 (UTC)

What if X Terminator beat Corkscrew in Series 5?
How far do you reckon X-Terminator's 5th Wars journey would have gone if the judges had gone for them instead of Corkscrew? What if their battery hadn't failed? What do you reckon would have happened? 80.111.172.25 22:43, November 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * They would have been beaten by Dominator 2, and not seeded in Series 6, so not much would have changed. J  im laa  d4   3 (talk) 07:48, November 6, 2013 (UTC)

Series 5, Heat B, Round 2
If Hypno-Disc and Atomic weren't drawn against each other before the heat final, and Hypno Disc fought Bulldog Breed, and Atomic fought Lambsy, how do you reckon it would have gone down? 80.111.172.25 21:10, November 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * Atomic would've won against Lambsy and Hypno-Disc probably would've won against Bulldog Breed and then Atomic would've lost to Hypno-Disc. Sam (BAZINGA) 21:20, November 7, 2013 (UTC)

Series 6, Heat F, Round 2, Fluffy vs Stinger
What would have happened if Fluffy had kept hitting Stinger, enough times to immobilise it, and Stinger's wheel never got back working again, meaning Fluffy, not Stinger, was thought to the Heat Final to face 13 Black. What do you reckon would have happened? 80.111.172.25 21:34, November 16, 2013 (UTC)
 * If Fluffy beat 13 Black, Firestorm 4 would've beaten it. Fluffy would then lose Wild Thing and Dantomkia. If 13 Black beat Fluffy, nothing changes. Sam (BAZINGA) 21:41, November 16, 2013 (UTC)

But what if, if he beat 13 Black, he goes to the Semi Finals and goes for the back of Firestorm instead if facing Firestorm from the front? 80.111.172.25 21:44, November 16, 2013 (UTC)
 * Firestorm turns around and flips Fluffy again. Lots of things could be different if the well driven robot was badly driven. J  im laa  d4   3 (talk) 21:55, November 16, 2013 (UTC)

Behemoth won the First World Championship
The Razer vs Behemoth battle was oh so close, and either robot could have won it, both during the battle and in the judges decision. Say Behemoth just edged it, what would happen?

Well firstly, Behemoth would have been 3rd seed and Razer 6th for Series 4. Behemoth would have blasted through round 1 of Heat B, probably disposing of Robochicken. Milly-Ann would be a walkover, and Pussycat would struggle to get Velocirippa, but would win in the end. Both seeds would struggle, but using votes in Ragnabot to decide because it would be close, Pussycat would win. Heat N would include Razer. AAT is more a shape to be crushed, so Razer and Rambot go through. Judge Shred 2 wouldn't stand a chance and XT2 would be able to beat Rambot. In the final, XT2 would fall to Razer. Semi-Final 1 would pan out normally, but Semi Final 2 would see Razer face Wild Thing. If they won that without breakdown, the run of play says Razer would face Hypno-Disc, but I think the producers would want to avoid that. I think Panic Attack is the only robot of the three second round Semi-Finalists that Razer could beat in the Series 4 guises. But for arguments sake, we'll say they fought Hypno-Disc, which I think would go in H-D'd favour. The final would pan out as it did.

What do you think? J im laa  d4   3 (talk) 11:06, January 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * Agree with most of that, expect I think Rambot would be more likely to go out to Razer than Arnold A. Hogwild94 (talk) 12:15, January 12, 2014 (UTC)

Firestorm 5 beats Storm 2
I've seen a few people on here speculate Firestorm could've beaten Storm 2 had the front strip not come off. How would the Series 7 Grand Final have gone if they'd manage to get a killer flip and turn Storm 2 over, and thus won the match?

Well, lets presume they'd have kept the top two seeds apart in the Grand Final. Lets say Firestorm plays X-Terminator, and Tornado Typhoon 2. I think Tornado would've been too much for Typhoon 2, and would've got them in the pit, while Firestorm would've been controlled enough to dodge X-Terminator's disc, and turn it over, and not make the Tsunami mistake. The resultant third place play-off would be a repeat of what actually happened in the real match between the two.

As for the final, I'm going to presume Firestorm will get a killer flip on Tornado, and not make the mistake of righting it they did in Series 6. Firestorm manages to out-manoeuvre Tornado, and pit them, to take the title. Tornado follows Razer in coming second the year after winning.

My views; any other thoughts? Hogwild94 (talk) 12:23, January 12, 2014 (UTC)

Storm 2 pitted in New Blood
In Storm 2's first round melee in the New Blood, it very nearly drives into the pit, but just stops in time, leaving Direct Action to go out. What if it had fallen in and been eliminated? How would that have affected the rest of the New Blood and, by extension, the Seventh Wars? Combatwombat555 (talk) 16:58, February 20, 2014 (UTC)

My personal view: in round 2, Direct Action beats Chopper, I can't see Chopper doing a great deal of damage and Direct Action's disc is pretty powerful. Heat final, ICU's ariel only needed one hit from Storm 2 to come off, Direct Action should be able to match that. In the Grand Final eliminator, Direct Action faces Thor, and here its luck runs out, Thor's hammer should get through the 6mm nylon armour fairly easily. Playoff, it's a tricky one, both robots have good weapons but exposed wheels... I'm going to say a scarred Direct Action takes third over Cedric Slammer, with the more powerful weaponry getting a few hits on the framework and getting through to the wheels. In the final, Mute against Thor. Mute's armour should stand up to Thor's hammer, and I'm not sure how easily Thor can self-right, so Mute is the New Blood Champion and takes the 16th seed spot.

So, the Seventh Wars, and this requires a bit of jiggery-pokery: Mute as the 16th seed now goes in Storm 2's heat, heat I, leaving a gap in heat L. I'm going to suggest that Direct Action would fill in there; Storm 2 would be a complete unknown, losing in the first round of New Blood, so the third place robot would probably go in instead.

Heat I: in the 'Heat of Doom', Mute faces Rhino, Supernova, and Mayhem. Mute doesn't have the killing power of Storm 2, but I don't think Rhino can self-right, so over goes Rhino, it and Mayhem go out, leaving Mute and Supernova to go through. Mute faces Trax, and should be able to control the battle in much the same way Storm 2 did, pushing it around, getting flips in, and winning on the judges' decision. Supernova against The Steel Avenger, and I think the Sri Lankan machine has it, The Steel Avenger is hardy but enough damage will be caused to it for Supernova to go through. The heat final, and... I really don't know, Mute's armour is very hard, I don't recall seeing much damage at all done to it, and it's also pretty reliable, I'm not sure Supernova's disc will worry it too much. I'm going to give the seeds the benefit of the doubt.

Heat L: Direct Action in a melee with Judge Shred 3, Corkscrew Two, and Demolition Man. Corkscrew Two goes in the same way as before, and I believe Direct Action's disc is better than Demolition Man's, and it'd also stand up better to being flipped by Judge Shred. Direct Action faces Behemoth in round 2, and that's the end of the line I think, Behemoth can stand up to the disc better than most and the axe can go through the armour pretty easily. Heat final, and it's Judge Shred 3 against Behemoth. Another tricky one, Judge Shred is the more competent self-righter, but Behemoth is lower and has the axe... Behemoth edges it when Judge Shred runs out of gas, it looked a bit vulnerable to that.

Semi Final: Behemoth faces Firestorm 5, pretty simple result seeing as Behemoth really can't self-right that easily, Firestorm takes it. Mute goes against The Grim Reaper, and I think has the lower front and the marginally better flipper, Mute through by the judges. So, Firestorm against Mute, we've seen that one, Firestorm in the Grand Final, and that scenario is being discussed further up.

Chaos 2 beating Dantomkia in Series 6
How do you think Series 6 would have gone if Chaos 2 had been able to get under Dantomkia and flip them out of the arena, as opposed to the other way around? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 17:53, February 20, 2014 (UTC)
 * Probably the same as Dantomkia, to be honest. I can't see Chaos 2 standing up to S3's disc that well. However, in the loser's melee, it only takes one flip on 13 Black to put it out, and Wild Thing is very easy to throw around in its Sixth Wars guise. 13 Black did put Chaos 2 out of commission in the All-Stars, but then it was focussed on Razer really and 13 Black could attack the sides and back easily: here, there's probably take 13 Black as the main threat and target them. That'd put them against Razer, and that'll be where the run ends. Razer has faced many flippers, and most of them didn't even force it to self-right. Chaos 2 didn't really improve from their encounter in the First World Championship, whereas Razer got lower and more reliable. Rest of the series plays out as normal. Combatwombat555 (talk) 18:36, February 20, 2014 (UTC)
 * After that, Chaos 2 go into Dantomkia's spot in the All-Stars and Panic Attack take Choas 2's spot. I'll let someone else play it out. Also, Dantomkia probably wouldn't have become my favourite bot. J  im laa  d4   3 (talk) 18:46, February 20, 2014 (UTC)
 * Hmm... Well, Panic Attack faces Razer and 13 Black. Those skirts and forks look very vulnerable to 13 Black's discs, I think Panic Attack is out, so same as before. In Chaos 2's new heat, it faces Terrorhurtz and Tornado... Tough one, but I think it could easily go the way it did when Dantomkia was present, sending Terrorhurtz out. Chaos 2 faces Firestorm, which is lower and has improved dramatically from their Series 3 meeting, so Firestorm through, and the tournament continues as normal. Combatwombat555 (talk) 19:03, February 20, 2014 (UTC)
 * S3 hates Wdges with a burning passion. It beat DTK only because of a driving error that got it stuck in an angle grinder. CHaos 2 to OOTA it quite easily.  The losers' melee should be interesting, I'll back 13 Black to win it by breaking one of S3's exposed wheels.  Now, it's impossible to tell who would face whom, but Razer has beaten all three of these bots in one-on-one, and the popular opnion is that Firestorm could beat Chaos 2 - and we know it can beat 13 Black, so same Grand Finalists. R A 2 ; aka Resetti's Replicas.  ( My Talk ) 21:16, March 2, 2014 (UTC)
 * The likliest draw would be Razer vs 13 Black and Firestorm 4 vs Chaos 2. They wouldn't put the winner of the melee straight back against the robot that beat it beforehand, and they'd surely want to keep the highest ranked seeds separate for as long as possible.

Invertabrat working properly in series 4
What would have happened if Invertebrat had not got stuck on its lifting arm in its battle against The Creature and Berserk 2?Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 15:51, March 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * I would imagine The Creature would go out in the melee, its weaponry was a bit feeble and the armour wasn't great either, so Invertebrat goes through in its place, but then is outclassed by Gemini. Maybe not an OotA, but I can't see Invertebrat delivering a killer blow or any real aggressive action to Gemini. Rest of the heat continues as normal.

Pussycat beating Firestorm in series five semi finals
Firestorm won the judge's decision even though Pussycat had a late comeback. What if Pussycat had won, and was through to the Grand Final? I reckon it would beat Razer for a third time, putting them in the play-off. Then, Razer would put up a good fight against Hypno-Disc, but H-D would do considerably more damage, and with the disc in the way of the piercer it's hard to do much damage meaning Hypno-Disc would come third and Razer fourth. Now onto the grand final, it's Bigger Brother or Pussycat. Hard to say, really, BB could just get them out of the arena, take the title, and it would be all over. What does everybody else reckon? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 19:22, March 6, 2014 (UTC)

Agree with Pussycat against Razer, Pussycat nicks a wheel and it's all over (although if Razer grabs and just pits instead of barbecuing it first...). The play-off, I don't really want to call, both robots could critically damage the other if given the chance. The Grand Final, Bigger Brother's seriously hard armour should hold off the Pussycat blade, and Pussycat is pretty easy to throw around. I think Bigger Brother takes the battle and the series with a close judges' decision. Combatwombat555 (talk) 20:29, March 6, 2014 (UTC)

How would the 7th series gone down if, in the Heat D, The Alien never had his safety link knocked out? Would they have survived in the competition? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 17:40, March 18, 2014 (UTC)
 * 13 Black was not doing well in the melee when The Alien conked out, I think the seeds are out. However, against Gravity, I can't see The Alien winning, Gravity has killing power in spades and is surprisingly hardy, it took no damage from 13 Black, at least. Rest of the heat plays out as normal. Combatwombat555 (talk) 17:44, March 18, 2014 (UTC)

Atomic pits Hypno Disc
How would series 5 have gone if the former runners-up had suffered a shock second-round loss?Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 17:48, March 24, 2014 (UTC)
 * I think that Atomic would beat Bulldog Breed, since it looked faster and had a more effective flipper blade. Bulldog Breed's Series 5 stat card said that it couldn't self right. Even if it was an error, I still see Atomic bulldozing Bulldog Breed into the pit.


 * In the Semi-Final, Atomic faces Firestorm. Graham Bone is a more experienced driver and I see him flipping Atomic around until it runs out of CO2 or gets pushed over the arena wall. I can see Atomic making a comeback in the loser's melee, getting around Wheely Big Cheese like Chaos 2 did, and getting some good flips in on Panic Attack to win the Judges' decision. In round 2, Firestorm fights Dominator 2 and Atomic faces Pussycat. Firestorm's armour was thicker than in Series 4, but Dominator 2's axe improved as well. It'll be a tightly fought grudge match, and I can see Dominator 2 pulling out a close win through aggression and making holes with its axe.

Meanwhile, Pussycat has usually never been a fan of being bulldozed by powerful rear hinged flippers (except Thermidor 2). I think that Atomic could potentially flip the cat out, if not it will take the Judges' decision.


 * The Grand Final, Razer vs Atomic. I think Atomic's title run comes to an end here. Razer hit its stride in Series 5, and has beaten many a great flipper. I see Atomic pierced and pitted. Meanwhile, we saw Dominator 2 beat Bigger Brother in Series 6. Bigger Brother had weaker armour in Series 5, so my thoughts are that Dominator 2 will immobilise BB for the win. Atomic manages to get some redemption in the Playoff by using its speed and wider front to bulldoze Bigger Brother and flip it out. The Final: Razer vs Dominator 2. I've thought for a long while that Dominator 2 was one of the few solid counters to Razer. It has a sloping shape with tough armour that the claw will struggle to gain any purchase on, and it has the weapon to rack up damage points on Razer. After a long hard battle, Dominator 2 wins the title on Damage and Aggression. MassiveDestruction49 (talk) 22:19, March 24, 2014 (UTC)


 * I'll agree up until the second round of the Semi Final, a fully fit Firestorm would beat Atomic (although something wasn't right in the real fight, Firestorm wouldn't ordinarily conk out after one hit from Hypno-Disc, but we'll ignore that) and a loser's melee is difficult to judge, but Wheely Big Cheese seemed to be limping and Panic Attack could get thrown around easily. However, I think Firestorm would avenge its series 4 defeat, it seemed lower in this series and could get under Dominator easier than before; if the last decision was very tight, and Firestorm's improved more than Dominator, I'd suggest a narrow win for Firestorm. Atomic against Pussycat... I really wouldn't like to call, to be honest, Pussycat would get bulldozed around more but could easily cause severe damage, and Atomic is only the series 5 model which seemed less potent... I'm going to leave that for others to decide. Combatwombat555 (talk) 22:29, March 24, 2014 (UTC)

S3 fails to reach heat final of series 6
Sir Chromalot tried to lure S3 into the pit in their battle in Heat D. What would have happened if the 7th seeds had suddenly crashed out of the competition? How would the heat final against Shredder have gone?Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 19:49, March 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * Interesting one. The Series 6 Sir Chromalot was by far the best iteration, and the S6 Shredder wasn't at its best. I think it'd be close, but Sir Chromalot should stand up to Shredder's discs and flip it enough times to take the decision on aggression. In the semi-final, Chromalot faces Dantomkia, and I think Dantomkia will outclass the Class Act here, Chromalot is too susceptible to running out of gas against a flipper as good as Dantomkia. In the loser's melee, however, against Wild Thing and 13 Black, I think there could be an upset. If it goes as it did, and Wild Thing pits itself, 13 Black is quite susceptible to flippers, and Sir Chromalot looked as if it took hard knocks pretty well, it didn't break down after getting battered by S3, after all. I think if Sir Chromalot gets a flip in on 13 Black, which is quite likely, its flipper was pretty good, it'll be through. So Sir Chromalot through to face Razer, and there it's the end of the road I think, if Dantomkia didn't even force Razer to self-right I can't see Sir Chromalot doing that. Combatwombat555 (talk) 20:09, March 27, 2014 (UTC)

And after that I can see Sir C being in the Extreme 2 All Stars and being seeded in the 7th Wars. But we never saw the Series 7 model in action so I don't know how that will go...Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 20:20, March 27, 2014 (UTC)


 * In the All-Stars I can't see it doing too well at all, it'd be against Firestorm and Bigger Brother if it replaced S3, two very good flippers that I can't see Sir Chromalot beating. However, because it's in the All-Stars, I doubt it'd enter the Challenge Belt as well, so it wouldn't get destroyed by Matilda, so it would be the same (or an improved) machine as the Series 6 version, which would make things interesting... Combatwombat555 (talk) 20:23, March 27, 2014 (UTC)

I think it would be a more interesting situation if S3 was instead immobilised by Mr. Psycho, which nearly happened. Still, Armadrillo wouldn't get past Sir Chromalot. I can see Sir Chromalot getting past Shredder, but I can't imagine Wild Thing pitting itself without having Dantomkia to run away from. I don't think Sir Chromalot is capable of beating 13Black either, so that's the end of the run. Toast Ultimatum  20:41, March 27, 2014 (UTC)

Mute wins New Blood
This is quite similar to the last scenario I posted, with Storm 2 going out in the first round, but the outcome should be slightly different. The judges' decision in the New Blood final was very tight and could have easily gone the other way: what if it had? Mute gets the 16th seed, what impact would this have had on Series 7? If Storm 2 fills the gap left by Mute, what happens there? Would such a fuss have been made over Storm 2? We know the producers didn't like it, and without getting the seeding the team wouldn't necessarily have to be allowed to qualify, would it even have been allowed to compete? I have my own opinion on it, but I'd be interested to know what other people think before I post my thoughts. Combatwombat555 (talk) 17:28, April 14, 2014 (UTC)

Mute beats the robots that Storm 2 did to win its heat. Storm 2 does the same. Not much change.Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 17:45, April 14, 2014 (UTC)

It's not really as simple as that though... Is Storm 2 even allowed in? If it is, will it just blitz through the heat? If not, what is its replacement? Can Mute really beat the ones Storm 2 did? And what happens in the semi-final? Combatwombat555 (talk) 17:50, April 14, 2014 (UTC)

My own thoughts: Mute takes the 16th seed spot, and I explored that in the Storm 2 going out first round scenario, I think it could get through the melee with Supernova, Mute beats Trax, Supernova beats The Steel Avenger, Mute beats Supernova (that one is debatable). I'm going to suggest that Storm 2 does enter the Seventh Wars with the lifter and takes Mute's spot in heat L. In the first round, Storm 2 could quite easily take out Demolition Man and a not-spinning Corkscrew Two, going through with Judge Shred 3. Behemoth is an interesting fight, Behemoth might actually be lower at the front, that bucket practically scraped the floor, but ultimately Storm 2 has too much power and goes through. Judge Shred 3 should be fairly straightforward for Storm 2, they shouldn't be able to get underneath.

Semi Final, and it's a reversal of what actually happened, Mute faces The Grim Reaper and Storm 2 fights Firestorm 5. I think Mute just has the beating of The Grim Reaper, the flipper's slightly better and it can get underneath easier. It'd be tight, but Storm 2 beat Firestorm in the real series so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt, so Mute fights Storm 2 again. It could go the same way, but I think the lifting arm just gives Storm 2 the edge this time. Storm 2 into the Grand Final, so ultimately it's the same result...

Fourth Wars: Bigger Brother self rights against Bulldog Breed
What if Bigger Brother had been able to self right and didn't suddenly crash out of the competition. How would series 4 have turned out?Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 17:37, April 14, 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, this is really dependent on whether Bigger Brother can beat Bulldog Breed even if it does self-right. For the purposes of this, though, I'll assume it will, or else there'll be no change whatsoever. I would suggest that with Bigger Brother in probably its weakest form and Stinger at its best, I think Stinger takes the heat final on damage, or maybe immobilises Bigger Brother. I'm not even sure that Bigger Brother would win in its most recent form, so I don't think it really stands a chance against Stinger in this form. Rest of the series plays out as normal.

S.M.I.D.S.Y. beats Chaos 2
Something I'm surprised hasn't been brought up at all: what if S.M.I.D.S.Y. had been given the judges' nod in series 5 instead of them deciding on a rematch? What would have happened in subsequent series with the seeding and everything? Combatwombat555 (talk) 17:43, April 14, 2014 (UTC)
 * S.M.I.D.S.Y. would've fought Wild Thing in the Semi Final. Wild Thing would probably win as it is more persistent in its pushing and is more than capable of causing damage to the side of the Cybernet bot. S.M.I.D.S.Y. might cause damage to Wild Thing but that would require S.M.I.D.S.Y. to show its back end to Wild Thing, allowing Wild Thing to push its foe around. Sam (BAZINGA) 18:04, April 14, 2014 (UTC)
 * So Wild Thing goes through. S3 takes the losers melee, and Wild Thing faces Bigger Brother. Bigger Brother would win that one. No change in the end then. J  im laa  d4   3 (talk) 22:15, April 14, 2014 (UTC)
 * Seedings would change for series 6 though, which would make things interesting. I'm not really sure how, though, because it's not as simple as swapping Wild Thing and Chaos 2 and bumping Tornado for S.M.I.D.S.Y., Chaos 2's two championships and then in this case a heat final probably count for more than Wild Thing's 3 semi finals... Combatwombat555 (talk) 22:25, April 14, 2014 (UTC)

The seeds would probably look like this:
 * 1) Razer
 * 2) Bigger Brother
 * 3) Firestorm 4
 * 4) Hypno-Disc
 * 5) Wild Thing
 * 6) Dominator 2
 * S3
 * 1) Panic Attack
 * 2) Spawn Again
 * 3) SMIDSY
 * 4) Chaos 2
 * 5) Stinger Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 21:24, June 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm not so sure. It's not quite as simple as just placing the robots in the order they finished, certain robots would be bumped higher for past victories, like Pussycat in Series 7 was seeded 9th despite not competing in Series 6, or Tornado being seeded in the real Series 6 despite going out in round 2 to Diotoir. As I said before, Chaos 2 had two championships under its belt, is it only worthy of being seeded 11th? S.M.I.D.S.Y. only got to the first round of the semi final in this scenario, so is a single semi final and a heat final worth a higher seeding? Combatwombat555 (talk) 21:36, June 16, 2014 (UTC)

They could do what they did for series 5, and be influenced by the fourth wars. Stinger and Tornado were seeded because of their previous successes in that series.

Would this be a good version?

The Morgue awarded win against Firestorm
If they had been awarded that controversial win, what do you reckon would have happened in the semis?Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 15:56, April 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * The Morgue would have been pummeled by Dominator 2.
 * Are you sure one of them wouldn't have been drawn against a seeded robot?Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 16:02, April 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * Probably not, but if they were it'd be impossible to know what seed they'd face. I would imagine if they did shuffle the seeds around either Chaos 2 or Steg 2 would shift as that was the only all-seed tie in that semi-final. Chaos 2 would easily beat either, Steg 2 would defeat The Morgue easily but might fall to Dominator 2. Combatwombat555 (talk) 16:07, April 15, 2014 (UTC)

Mute eliminated
Yep, another New Blood one: Mute pitted itself but Terror Turtle was deemed immobilised first, what if the judges had made the opposite call? Again I have my own opinion but I'd be interested to see what others think first. Combatwombat555 (talk) 11:53, April 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * This is assuming the line-up otherwise stays the same, which makes sense, considering the strongest robot in one melee usually fought the second strongest from the other melee. Therefore, Terror Turtle would likely have been drawn up against Mr Nasty, and it would have been a pretty convincing victory for the rambot. Mr Nasty then goes on to face Roobarb and whilst Roobarb might get some flips in, its high body and questionable armour allows for some nice little penetration from Mr Nasty's spike, who eventually takes the judges, provided it doesn't pit Roobarb first.
 * Come the Grand Final, Mr Nasty's luck runs out against Cedric Slammer. It wasn't that strong against heavy blows, and even then, there's the off-chance that Cedric might cut off its aerial. Either way, it falls here. In the playoff, Mr Nasty meets up with Thor, and is able to use its speed to keep away from Thor's hammer and eventually pit it. Cedric, on the other hand, fights Storm 2 and is unable to get its flywheel to use at all against Storm's wedge, whilst its own high ground clearance proves an easy target. In the end, Storm still does win.
 * No idea as to what that would affect for Series 7, though. CrashBash (talk) 12:11, April 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * For Series 7 I would work under the assumption that the other Grand Finalist would fill Mute's position, I doubt a first round drop out would be likely to return, but Mr Nasty wouldn't be allowed in because of the moving weapons rule, and Cedric Slammer didn't attempt to enter Series 7 apparently, so I don't know who would fill that position... Maybe Cedric Slammer would have been encouraged to return or something? Combatwombat555 (talk) 12:16, April 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * I agree with how the rest of the New Blood would go. If Cedric Slammer was encouraged by a slightly more successful run, it might have made it into/been allowed into series 7. For Mr Nasty, let's just say that for the sake of this hypothetical scenario it kept the front spike, but added a small moving weapon (such as a drill) that wouldn't make much difference to how it would perform in battle. Assuming that Cedric Slammer and Mr Nasty get put in Mute and Thor's heats, here's how I think things would go.


 * Cedric Slammer would be in Heat L. I see it tearing into Demolition Man's armour and immobilising it, while Judge Shred 3 flips Corkscrew Two Oota. In round 2, Cedric Slammer faces Behemoth, and I'm afraid that it will advance no further. Behemoth is just too solid for the spinner, and its scoop will slide right under the front prongs allowing it to flip Cedric again and again. Behemoth fights Judge Shred and I think it can finally get the second semi-final place it's been dreaming of all these years. Behemoth's scoop practically touches the floor and I can see it picking up Judge Shred 3 using the scoop and axe, before dumping it over the arena wall. In the semi-finals however, Firestorm just overwhelms Behemoth and throws it around, getting it stuck against the side wall before throwing the bulldozer Oota.


 * Meanwhile, Mr Nasty is in Heat D. Gravity would probably still view Hydra as the most potent threat and flip it around. Meanwhile Hodaf The Bad tries to get its flipper into play, but Mr Nasty is too nippy and rams into the bulky machine, making some holes in the side armour and earning valuable damage points. If Gravity breaks a camera by throwing Hydra into it again, then the Judges vote Gravity and Mr Nasty through. If Hydra flys Oota without breaking a camera, then I reckon Hodaf would either eventually break down from Mr Nasty's attacks or get thrown out by Gravity. In round 2, Mr Nasty faces Lightning, and like Cedric Slammer goes no further. Due to Lightning's sloped shape, the only place likely to be pierced by Mr Nasty's spike would be the rear of the machine (still pretty unlikely due to Lightning's tough armour). Considering Lightning's speed and agility, I don't see Mr Nasty getting that opportunity. Lightning will use its wedge to scoop Mr Nasty up and pit it after ramming it and throwing it around the arena for a bit.


 * If Thor entered Series 7, let's say that it replaces one of the cannon fodder robots. I can see it reaching round 2, maybe even a couple of heat finals in some of the heats (H and J come to mind if it can avoid St. Agro or Thermidor 2 until the end/slyly avoid them in the round 1 melee). The only Heat I think that Thor had a shot at winning was B.


 * Another hypothetical scenario; Thor is a reserve for the series, and gets put in Heat B as a substitute for Terrorhurtz. In round 1 I think that it would target the bulky, cumbersome Killerkat, and immobilise it with several hammer blows. Meanwhile, Gyrobot is too low for Jackson Wallop's spinner, and takes its wheels off. Round 2, and Thor fights Big Nipper. I see Big Nipper getting some shoves in, but Thor could beach it on its wedge and hammer the flat top. The Judges put Thor through on damage and aggression. The Heat Final is a closely fought one, with Grim Reaper getting a couple of good flips in, but Thor smashes the top polycarb panels. Another Judges' Decision, and Thor goes through to the Semi-Finals on damage. There however, Storm 2 just slams Thor into oblivion. MassiveDestruction49 (talk) 15:29, April 16, 2014 (UTC)

The Brute in World Championship
The Brute had to pull out because The Revolutionist damaged it badly in season 1. What if it was able to compete and Drillzilla never competed? How do you think the 2nd World Championship would've gone down? We would definitely have had a different runner-up.Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 20:15, April 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * Brute would have been in the same rumble as Firestorm, most likely. That being the case, I think it'd be an easy win for Firestorm, considering Brute's small size, ineffective weaponary and high ground clearance. That'd put it up against Manta, and Firestorm would eventually come out on top flipping Manta over. Then it'll be an all-UK final, and...well, it's Razer, we all know what happened then. Cue even MORE posts claiming how it was "rigged" for Razer to win....CrashBash (talk) 20:28, April 19, 2014 (UTC)

Wild Thing vs Hypno-Disc
Wild Thing vs Hypno-Disc was such a tightly fought and close battle. According to Wild Thing's entry in the Fun Fax guide, it only lost the Judges' decision by one point. Supposing that Wild Thing just managed to do enough to pull off the upset, how do you think the Series 4 Grand Final (And by extension, Series 5 due to the different top seeds) would have gone?

I think that Wild Thing vs Pussycat would be a great battle. Pussycat is normally quite hard to get a hold of, but Wild Thing has the lance which can pin Pussycat against the wedge. Wild Thing is pretty solid and stood up to Hypno-Disc pretty well, so I can't see Pussycat's blade doing a lot of damage. After a long hard fight, the Judges put Wild Thing through on aggression.

The play-off occurs this time, and is Pussycat vs Stinger. I don't think that Pussycat's extra weight gave it a particular advantage in the Extreme encounter, and I think it would still beat Stinger on damage and control.

The Grand Final: Chaos 2 vs Wild Thing. Just like Series 5, this is a fast paced, exciting battle. Chaos 2 throws Wild Thing around a bit, but Wild Thing fights back with some shoves (more effective this time due to the disc not being there to block the wedge). It goes to the Judges, and Chaos 2's shoves combined with flips give it the win based on aggression.

This is what I think the resulting seedings for Series 5 would look like:

1. Chaos 2

2. Wild Thing

3. Pussycat

4. Stinger

5. Razer (Since the playoff happened this time, I think that the producers would keep the top 4 intact, but squeeze Razer into the high rankings)

6. Panic Attack

7. Hypno-Disc

8. Firestorm

9. 3 Stegs to Heaven

10-24: Same as in real life.

Heat A: Chaos 2 still wins (the S.M.I.D.S.Y. controversy may or may not happen).

Heat B: Pussycat cuts into Black Widow's legs and immobilises it. Atomic gets a few flips in, but Pussycat carves into its shell and takes the Judges' vote. In the Heat Final, Bulldog Breed wasn't quite the beast that flipped Pussycat out in the Tag Team Terror yet, and I see Pussycat tearing the Bulldog's link out.

Heat C: Razer vs Hippobotamus, ouch. Tell me you would not pay to see that! Razer chews the poor Hippo into tiny pieces, and then it traps and pierces yet another rear hinged flipper in General Carnage. We saw the Heat Final in the real Semi-Finals; Razer will once again crush S3.

Heat D: Hypno-Disc decapitates Bee-capitator (well, more like smashes it into oblivion). Sir Chromalot's wheel hub holds firm, but it breaks down under constant pressure from Hypno-Disc. Finally, Reactor gets its wheels smashed in.

Heat E: 3 Stegs to Heaven hits Trouble 'n' Strife with its disc a few times, but gets flipped around and gouged by Strife's rear disc. The Judges vote 3 Stegs out- a seed finally falls! Trouble 'n' Strife puts Napalm out of commission for good, but then falls foul of Prizephita Mach 2- I don't think it can self-right.

Heat I: Firestorm vs Eleven.... wow. This could be either hilarious or really boring: Eleven can't do anything to Firestorm, while Firestorm would probably just drive straight under Eleven half the time. The Judges eventually vote Firestorm through on aggression (bumping into Eleven's legs and tapping the underbelly with its flipper). Firestorm then throws Tetanus straight over and Oota. In the Heat Final, I see a repeat (or foreshadowing) of the Extreme 2 All Stars with Firestorm flipping Bigger Brother until BB runs out of gas.

Heat J: Panic Attack. Déjà vu, much?

Heat K: Stinger bashes Big Nipper until it breaks down, before mullering Widow's Revenge and whacking the boxy Rick to win the Heat.

Heat L: Wild Thing pits The Executioner, then rams Clawed Hopper until the Judges put it through. In the Heat Final, Wild Thing outlasts Fluffy due to superior endurance.

Semi-Final A: Firestorm vs Razer: We've seen this 3 times. Hopefully it would be like the entertaining encounter in the real series 5.

Chaos 2 vs Prizephita Mach 2: Chaos 2 chucks Prizephita Oota.

Stinger vs Spawn Again: Stinger bludgeons Spawn Again into submission; SA just couldn't take hard knocks around this era.

Loser's melee: Firestorm vs Prizephita vs Spawn Again. If Firestorm can be repaired in time, it takes this with utter ease by throwing the others around until they break down or run out of C02 to self-right with.

Round 2: Razer vs Stinger (avoiding rematches): Stinger takes this via the Judges: Razer just can't get a grip on it, and it aggressively whacks away at the World Champion.

Chaos 2 vs Firestorm: Chaos 2 has mostly sat still, while Firestorm has caught up massively. Firestorm flips Chaos 2 over and over until George Francis runs low on C02.

Semi Final B: Wheely Big Cheese vs Dominator 2: Same.

Pussycat vs Hypno-Disc: Hypno-Disc gets its revenge from the real Series 4; the wheel guards are a lot stronger this time around, and it did buckle Pussycat's blade before. Hypno removes Pussycat's wheels.

Wild Thing vs Panic Attack: Another grudge match. Both get some controlled shoves in, but Wild Thing swings the Judges through damage; buckling Panic Attack's forks.

Loser's melee: Wheely Big Cheese vs Pussycat vs Panic Attack. Pussycat buckles Panic Attack's forks leaving it unable to mount a proper offense, and rips into WBC's wheels. Pussycat then beats Panic Attack via the Judges again.

Round 2: Dominator 2 vs Hypno-Disc: Same.

Wild Thing vs Pussycat: Both robots deflect each other with their blades a couple of times, but Wild Thing gets a few good shoves in which give it the Judges' nod against Pussycat yet again.

Grand Final: Hypno-Disc vs Firestorm: Both of them got a victory against each other in Series 5, it's tough. Firestorm looked like it had a loose connection in the Semi-Finals (Graham Bone said before the loser's melee that there were things wrong with the machine that they didn't notice before going into the Hypno-Disc fight), but was able to pit Hypno-Disc without the flipper working in the Play-off. If Firestorm plays it smart, I can see it pitting Hypno again with some superficial damage sustained.

Stinger vs Wild Thing: Wild Thing won't be able to get an effective shove in, so Stinger gets the Judge's nod on aggression.

Play-off: Hypno-Disc vs Wild Thing. Grudge match. Wild Thing's disc hampered its ability to get opponents caught on the wedge in order to push them around, and Hypno-Disc's weapon got a bit stronger between the last series and this. I think it would win on damage.

Final: Firestorm vs Stinger. Bit of an unstoppable force meets an immovable object going on here. The two can't really launch effective attacks against each other, but Firestorm could push/flip Stinger away with the flipper, eventually guiding it into the pit. Firestorm wins!

So, how do you think the Series 4 Grand Final would go, and what do you think the resulting seeds would be like? Other changes could be made e.g. Mini Morg not being seeded 19 (It lost, got reinstated, won through a breakdown then lost again...... seriously?)

Better Health and Safety in the Pits
Ok, we know that the health and safety in the pits was pretty shocking, with More Panda-Monium dropped at one point causing the spike cannon to go off, forcing the removal of all side competitions in the Third Wars and prompting Rex Garrod's protest. What would have happened if the health and safety procedures were more stringent? I'm asking what would have happened in the side competitions, but more importantly Cassius 2 only withdrew from the International League competition because of it. Razer would not have been favoured nearly as much by the producers, it probably wouldn't be in the First World Championship, so no high seedings, so changes the face of every single war after the Third. So what happens? Combatwombat555 (talk) 12:33, April 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * Well, it's speculation to say that Razer was only favoured by the Producers because of Rex Garrod retiring. It did win the Best Design award twice at that time, and the Razer website only said that they replaced Cassius in the International League, not the World Championship as well. If safety procedures were better, then Rex Garrod would most likely have stayed. I think Cassius would have been seeded for Series 4 having been twice a Grand Finalist despite going out in the previous war.


 * Let's say that for the sake of this hypothetical situation, there were no safety mishaps, Cassius 2 didn't have that blunder against Pussycat (since saying where exactly it could be anywhere in the lowers seedings otherwise- Team Cold Fusion below Cerberus?!?!) and the Heat structures for the next few wars stay as true to real life as they could be.
 * Cassius with more control could pit Pussycat. Then it would flip Scutter's Revenge to reach the Semi-Finals. Cassius would chuck 101 around and win on aggression. Against Hypno-Disc, it's tough to say. A fully working Hypno would have a good shot at tearing into Cassius, but by the time it fought 101, Hypno-Disc's weapon was pretty worn out. If Cassius can get one good early flip in, then it's over. Steg-O-Saw-us falls with one flip, and then the same happens to it against Firestorm in the playoff. Chaos 2 marks the end of Cassius 2's run. Chaos 2 is a lot easier to control and just has to stick its flipper blade slightly under Cassius to chuck it, while Cassius would have to charge and get right underneath. Chaos 2 wins, possibly with another oota.


 * Razer still fights in the World Championship and wins. Cassius 2 blitzes the International League; it quickly chucks Techno-Lease over, then does the same to Prometheus (If it doesn't break down) and Diotoir.

The resulting Series 4 seeds would look like this in my opinion:

1. Chaos 2

2. Cassius 2

3. Firestorm 2

4. Steg 2 (Hey, 4 2s in a row!)

5. Razer (Since the play-off happened, the top 4 would be intact, but the Producers would try to get Razer into the high rankings)

6. Panic Attack

7. Behemoth

8. Gemini

9. Hypno-Disc

10. 101

11. Wild Thing

12. Evil Weevil 2

13. Gravedigger

14. Bigger Brother

15. Wheely Big Cheese

16. Killerhurtz

17. King B3

18. Cerberus

The order onwards is the same except Pussycat is pushed down; Aggrobot 2 is bumped up to 19, Diotoir to 20, X-Terminator to 21. Pussycat is 22 (Runner-up with Bodyammer, but then lost in Gauntlet and Round 2), and the normal order resumes from Moris at 23 to Suicidal Tendencies at 32. Though, Spawn of Scutter could have a shot at a lower seeding.

Here's how I think Cassius 2 would do. Heat P- Predator looks more prone to toppling, so Cassius and Raizer Blade advance. V-Max gets the honour of meeting its inspiration.... and then gets chucked around before being pitted. In the Heat Final, Cassius disposes of Raizer Blade with a flip. Splinter then has a much more merciful fate than in real life and is merely flipped over.

For who Cassius would meet in the top 8, we look at the structure of Heats M and N. The seeds in what was truly M (since it and F were swapped around possibly to make Gemini fight Chaos 2 in the semis) would be Gemini and Berserk 2. Tornado still wins this.

Heat N, the seeds are Panic Attack and Pussycat. Panic Attack pits Rambot, while Pussycat cuts up Millenium Bug's legs. Panic Attack then carries Judge Shred 2 around the arena and into the pit, while the Extreme 2 annihilator final happens a year early with Pussycat beating Arnold Arnold Terminegger via the Judges. We saw Pussycat vs Panic Attack in Series 5, and I imagine that Pussycat would still win here.

In Round 1 of the semis, Pussycat faces Tornado. I think that Tornado can still do what it did to Pussycat twice in Extreme. It used the disc there and still survived Pussycat with some scars, so I can see it giving Pussycat some mighty slams, possibly removing a wheel again. The Judges put Tornado through, but then it falls to Cassius 2, who exploits its high ground clearance by chucking it around.

Cassius faces Hypno-Disc in the Grand Final eliminator (Hypno-Disc beat Henry 2, Shadow of Napalm, Dominator 2, Razer! and Firestorm 2 to get here), and Hypno-Disc gets its revenge. The disc is a lot stronger and more reliable this time, plus Hypno-Disc can self right. Hypno-Disc cleaves into Cassius' flipper when it fires it, then smashes the sides in to win.

Chaos 2 won its real heat, then beat Behemoth and Wild Thing to get here. Stinger had the same run as in real life until it fought Steg 2 in the top 8. Chaos 2 beats Stinger like in real life, then Stinger beats Cassius 2 in the play-off via the Judges on damage and aggression. In the final, it's a fight that everyone wanted to see; Chaos 2 vs Hypno-Disc with a Srimech. I think that Chaos 2 could still win this one. It's 10mm thick chassis is strong enough to take some hits from Hypno-Disc if it needs to, and it has the necessary speed and control to scoop Hypno up and throw it Oota. Chaos 2 wins!

Who knows what would happen beyond then?

The seedings for Series 5 looks like this in my mind (partly based on the priorities of the real list, could be extended to 32 robots):

1. Chaos 2

2. Hypno-Disc

3. Stinger

4. Cassius 2

5. Razer (It did reach the semis this time, plus the Producers would take the side competitions into account again).

6. Firestorm 3 (Won heat C easily, flipping Aggrobot 2 around in the Heat Final. defeated Thermidor 2 via the Judges before having its 3mm aluminium torn apart by Hypno-Disc).

7. 3 Stegs to Heaven (flipped S.M.I.D.S.Y. into the pit to win Heat O, then beat 101 before losing to Stinger).

8. Behemoth (round 1 semi-finalist after winning Heat D, veteran with first World Championship runner-up status).

9. Wild Thing (Won Heat F against Steel Avenger. Beat Wheely Big Cheese on the Judges in the semis, then lost to Chaos 2).

10. Tornado

11. 101 (Won Heat L by pitting Knightmare, but then got chucked around by Steg 2 in the semis).

12. Wheely Big Cheese

13. Pussycat (previous great success in Series 1, demoted a bit for crashing out in Series 2 and 3).

14. Panic Attack (Heat Finalist, but former champion).

15. Thermidor 2

16. Splinter

17. Gemini

18. Mousetrap 2

19. Dominator 2 (Heat Finalist and Annihilator runner-up).

20. Suicidal Tendencies (twice a Heat Finalist).

21. Aggrobot 2 (same, ST pushed above for generally better fights. While it wasn't in the real Series 5, it did try to qualify. Gets automatic entry for seeding).

22. The Steel Avenger

23. S.M.I.D.S.Y.

24. Bulldog Breed 3

Eric Pits King B2
What would've happened if Eric had successfully put King B2 in the pit instead of just driving in itself? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 20:53, April 22, 2014 (UTC)


 * Eric would probably beat Weld-Dor; the axe won't do anything, and I can see Eric either tipping the Irish machine over,or hooking under it with the lifter and guiding it into the pit ala The Big Cheese. Eric will come up short against 101 though. Mike Franklin's great driving will allow him to shove Eric around easily, and 101 might even be able to make some small holes with the spike. The Judges put 101 through to the Semi-Finals on aggression. MassiveDestruction49 (talk) 21:34, April 23, 2014 (UTC)

How would heat H of series 4 have gone if Prizephita had not been ruled immobilised, and Wheely went out instead. Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 22:07, April 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * Interesting one. Prizephita could probably beat Killerton in round 2. It wouldn't flip it, but the old Bin lid's axe has past its best and I see it ending up down the pit. Suicidal Tendencies beats Prizephita in the Heat Final through axing and pitting it. In the Semi-Finals however, Tornado bulldozes ST into submission.

Hypno-Disc beat Behemoth in All-Stars
How would the All-Star Quarter Finals have gone down if that upset had not been pulled off? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 18:27, April 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * Razer vs Hypno-Disc. The match up everyone wanted to see, everyone has their own opinion on how it would go, and no one's really sure how it would actually go. If Razer gets the first bite, it wins, if Hypno Disc gets the first hit in, it wins. I don't want to call it, but I'll put Hypno Disc through for the sake of this being different from the actual competition.


 * Hypno-Disc faces Firestorm, and whilst it won in series 5 (initially), something wasn't right with Firestorm, it shouldn't have just taken one hit and conked out. Seeing as it completely bossed the third place playoff without a flipper, I think Firestorm takes it. Firestorm vs Tornado in the final... Tornado won in series 6, but I think without the wedge Tornado is at a clear disadvantage, Firestorm can keep getting underneath and tipping it over, winning on the judges' decision.

Sixth Wars, Heat H
What if Spam pitted Spawn Again, not itselfVampireweekend4ever (talk) 19:51, April 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * Supernova smegged themselves up in the heat final, they had problems. So Spam go through. Spam face Terrorhurtz in the next round and get obliterated. Losers Melee isn't a win, even if they get it fixed. Spam reach the Extreme 2 All-Stars. Up against Dominator 2 and Hypno-Disc, they get picked off. Say they did get the 7th seeds for series 7. ROTAS are the strongest in round 1 and go through with Chip. Chip are able to beat R.O.C.S. and face Raging Knightmare, who are beaten by the judges on damage. Chip vs Tornado is easy. J  im laa  d4   3 (talk) 21:17, April 25, 2014 (UTC)


 * Supernova did have problems and only got a few hits in on Spawn Again in the Heat Final, but I have a feeling it could take care of Spam given that window of opportunity by shredding the wheels. Terrorhurtz upgraded its side armour after the Fluffy incident, but I think it would still be vulnerable to a shredding from Supernova. In the loser's melee, Terrohurtz and Bigger Brother immobilise Hypno-Disc before Terrorhurtz smashes up BB like in real life. To avoid a rematch, the round 2 draw is Tornado vs Supernova and Terrorhurtz vs Dominator 2. Tornado shoves Supernova into the arena walls from the Sri Lankan machine's sides, which causes it to fly away from the disc hitting the walls. Under the constant barrage of stress, Supernova breaks down. Meanwhile, Dominator 2 and Terrorhurtz aggressively flail away with their axes. Dominator 2 makes several holes and its shell holds firm under pressure from Terrorhurtz's axe. The Judges put Dominator 2 through to the Grand Final.


 * Tornado beats Firestorm, while Dominator 2 gets its wish and pulls off an upset against Razer, making several holes in the shell and resisting attacks from the crusher thanks to its thick sloping armour. Razer beats Firestorm in the playoff, before Tornado pits Dominator 2 in the final.


 * Without getting into the All-Star placement, here's the resulting Series 7 seeds: 1. Tornado 2. Dominator 2 (If it doesn't pull out) 3. Firestorm V 4. Terrorhurtz 5. Supernova 6. Dantomkia 7. Bigger Brother 8. 13 Black 9. Panic Attack 10. Pussycat 11. Spawn Again 12. Behemoth 13. X-Terminator 14. Bulldog Breed 15. Thermidor 2 16.

Hypnodisc Wins 6th Wars Losers Mêlée
What if H-D, not Bigger Brother was through to the last eight to face Terrorhurtz? Now that would be a good battle, disc vs axe. I'd love to hear other people's opinions;here are mine: H-D and Terrorhurtz fight instead of Bigger Brother. Terrorhurtz if lucky could dent the disc, but personally I think Hypno would smash up its polycarbonate armour, putting it through to the final for the fourth consecutive time. There it faces Razer; Firestorm still faces Tornado. In the eliminator between HD and Razer, I'm afraid I can't see Razer doing any real damage, and I've read lots of people speculate that H-D can beat Razer, so it smashes and buckles the latter's wheel before it can really do anything. The resultant third place play off results in Razer coming third and Firestorm fourth; Razer would in all likelihood win. Then in the actual final, Tornado was seen beating Hypno Disc in the real semis, so with HD's disc so high up I can't really see it do anything, and Tornado could either pit it or, should it go to the judges, win on aggression.

This is how the seeds for the 7th Wars would look:
 * 1) Tornado
 * 2) Firestorm
 * 3) Bigger Brother
 * 4) Terrorhurtz
 * 5) Dantomkia
 * 6) Spawn Again
 * 7) 13 Black
 * 8) Panic Attack
 * 9) Pussycat
 * 10) Behemoth
 * 11) X-Terminator
 * 12) Bulldog Breed
 * 13) S.M.I.D.S.Y,
 * 14) Thermidor
 * 15) Ming
 * 16) Storm 2

The same as in real life, but two robots swapped. And in the series 7, Bigger Brother wins Heat B instead of The Grim Reaper who it beats in the heat final, Typhoon 2 still wins Heat O, BB loses to Storm 2 in the semi's, and the rest of the series plays out as normal. If BB did manage to beat Storm 2 (not impossible), it would lose to Firestorm, who would beat Tornado, who would win the play-off, and then in the final Firestorm V trounces Typhoon 2 to finally be crowned champion.

What if Tornado never used its anti-crusher frame, etc? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 19:08, April 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * Seeing as Razer defeated Tornado with ease every time the frame wasn't used, it's a bit of a foregone conclusion I'm afraid. The only competitions that would have changed as a result would have been the European Championship, so Razer goes through to fight Philliper 2 and probably wins- the crusher is more effective and the lifter won't do much- and the International Competition in US Season 2, where it faces General Chompsalot 2. I've never seen General Chompsalot fight, but those exposed wheels look very vulnerable, and the jaws won't gain much purchase on Razer. Combatwombat555 (talk) 23:07, April 30, 2014 (UTC)

Razer pits Tornado in Series 6
On a similar note to the above entry, here's a clash that could have changed a lot had it gone the other way. At the end of the Sixth Wars' final, Razer tried to dump Tornado over the pit, but couldn't let go. Had Razer been able to properly suspend Tornado with all of its wheels dangling over the pit, it would have been declared the winner of the battle. If Razer won and the team were convinced to enter Series 7 (wether the fallout in Extreme 2 happened or not), how would that series change?

First of all, this is probably how the seeds would look:

1. Razer

2. Tornado

3. Firestorm V

4. Terrorhurtz (may or may not be ready in time)

5. Bigger Brother

6. Dantomkia

7. Spawn Again

8. 13 Black

9. Panic Attack

10. Pussycat

11. Behemoth

12. X-Terminator

13. Bulldog Breed

14. S.M.I.D.S.Y.

15. Thermidor 2

16. Storm 2

The entire seeding system is bumped down a notch aside from Storm 2. Assuming that the non seeded robots in each Heat and the draw for the Semi-Finals remain the same, how does the series turn out? MassiveDestruction49 (talk) 12:32, May 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * I've just spent the last half an hour crafting a response to this, but I clicked on a link by accident and lost the whole thing. Damn it. Combatwombat555 (talk) 16:59, May 1, 2014 (UTC)

Do you have a copy of it? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 17:59, May 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * No, I was just doing it on here... I had got to 13 Black's heat and was mentally debating 13 Black against Tough As Nails, went to check something about one of the robots and lost this page... Combatwombat555 (talk) 18:13, May 1, 2014 (UTC)

For the sake of a good argument, I'm going to assume two things. First, Terrorhurtz is properly prepared. Second, Thunderpants is replaced with Ming Dienasty. Otherwise, everything else is the same.


 * HEAT A: Razer easily takes out Saw Point 2 and takes out Devastator, perhaps seeing it as the biggest threat. Nothing changes in the second melee as Ming Dienasty is regretably ravaged by both spinners before Barber-Ous breaks down. Razer then treats Leveller 2 like any other flipper before evading Tetanus Booster's drum and crushing into it, ala its first few fights with Tornado.
 * HEAT B: Firestorm manages to flip Killerkat on its side and Jackson Wallop onto its back. It is drawn against Big Nipper and eventually gets it out of the arena, before treating The Grim Reaper to the same trip.
 * HEAT C: Bigger Brother teams up with King B Powerworks to defeat Rick and Hassock's Hog. It weather's Scorpion's blows long enough to flip it out of the arena before overturning IG-88 for an easy win.
 * HEAT D: Spawn Again easily deals with Herbinator and The Alien. Drawn up against Gravity, a very tactical battle develops, but eventually Spawn's lower ground clearance wins out and Gravity is flipped OOTA. Lightning is easily beaten due to flipper set-up.
 * HEAT E: Panic Attack narrowly survives the first round after Roobarb helps it beat Twister and Brutus Maximus. Its luck runs out against M2 who eventually flips it over. Rest of the heat proceeds as normal.
 * HEAT F: Behemoth helps dispose of Major Tom and Diabolus, and has no trouble at all with Killer Carrot 2. Against Tsunami, however, it is completely outmanuvered and flipped OOTA.
 * HEAT G: Bulldog Breed easily gets past Terror Turtle, Cygnus and Mean Streak, but Atomic's superior flipper lip gives it the win, and the OOTA.
 * HEAT H: Thermidor flips Metalis over, and eventually turns its attention to Scraptosaur, who isn't as good at self-righting as Ceros is. A close battle against St Agro follows, with Thermidor eventually taking the win after being able to better exploit the ground clearance. It uses the same advantage against Ceros until it gets stuck.
 * HEAT I: Nothing changes.
 * HEAT J: S.M.I.D.S.Y. chooses to defeat Mobot by pitting it, and treats 8645T just the same as before. It also manages to pit The Kraken before ramming Mighty Mouse around enough to get it down the pit.
 * HEAT K: X-Terminator destroys Jabber and Infernal Contraption (259 all over again) before immobilising Hard in one hit. It tears several chunks out of Kat 3's side to take the victory.
 * HEAT L: Pussycat chooses to take advantage of UFO's flipper not working rather than take out Crushtacean. Obviously Tartarus goes out, but the judges will most likely eliminate UFO. Pussycat is drawn against Mute, and finds itself in problems from the newcomer's flipper, which is too much like Firestorm's for its liking. I suspect it may unfortunately lose the judges decision. Judge Shred, meanwhile, manages to flip Crushtacean enough times to get it to the arena wall and then OOTA. Heat final plays as normal.
 * HEAT M: 13 Black manages to get past Spin Doctor and Edge Hog, but is unable to damage Tough As Nails at all, and is eventually pitted. Heat continues as normal.
 * HEAT N: Dantomkia defeats NEATer Machine, Chip and R.O.C.S., and manages to outmanuvere and outlast Raging Knightmare, getting it OOTA.
 * HEAT O: Terrorhurtz easily takes out Colossus and U.R.O., and lands numerous axe blows on Iron Awe 2.1, who can't do what it did to Bigger Brother because Terrorhurtz's frantic axe swings mean it can't be flipped too easily. Typhoon 2, however, is a different matter. A bit like Fluffy, anyone?
 * HEAT P: Tornado pits Bamm Bamm and Black & Blue, then does the same to Reptirron the Second and Ripper, putting some nice tooth-marks in the latter's paper-thin armour.
 * SEMI-FINAL 1: Razer beats Dantomkia in the same way it did the year before, as does Bigger Brother against Spawn Again. Tsunami is able to get its flipper underneath Thermidor's claws before throwing it OOTA, and X-Terminator is able to resist TAN's push and cause some minor damage with its flywheel, ultimately winning on aggression. In Round 2, Razer beats Bigger Brother as it did in the Series 5 Grand Final (minus the war wounds) and, as much as I'd love it to be different, X-Terminator vs Tsunami plays out the same way with the same mistake on the German machine's part.
 * SEMI-FINAL 2: Tornado manages to defeat Mute by pushing it more convincingly than Storm 2 did when they faced off. Typhoon 2 immobilises S.M.I.D.S.Y. with little effort. The battles between Storm 2 and Firestorm/Atomic and M2 play out as normal. Both the Round 2 matches also play out as they did when the robots actually fought.
 * GRAND FINAL: Typhoon vs X-Terminator plays out as normal. Razer vs Storm 2 (some fight, eh?) is very close, but eventually, Razer manages to win out with its uber-low-ground clearance (I'm pretty sure it's lower than even Storm's), and it uses its crusher to grapple, penetrate and pit the New Blood winners. Storm 2 beats the limping X-Terminator in the playoff pretty much the same way Tornado did. Razer faces Typhoon 2 in the final, and is completely overwhelmed - the cone is the wrong shape to grab and Typhoon's blades are low enough to catch the wheels. Eventually, Razer is hit in just the wrong place and the wheels lock up. Typhoon wins Series 7, in a much more convincing and fair way. CrashBash (talk) 18:20, May 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * Totally agreed, the only minor differences was that I'd have put Gravity through against Spawn Again and St Agro beating Thermidor 2 by using the claws as a chock, but I can't argue with your logic. Kudos, that must have taken ages! Combatwombat555 (talk) 18:28, May 1, 2014 (UTC)

Daisy competing
How would series 3 have gone down if Daisy entered the arena and Binky never competed?Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 16:23, May 2, 2014 (UTC)
 * We don't know how effective the 'skipping rope' weaponry was, but the original Aggrobot was huge and slanted, it'd have a job causing any damage whatsoever to it. Aggrobot is a bit slow and ponderous, and the weaponry is mounted too high to hit Daisy, but it should have the edge in a pushing battle. No real change. Combatwombat555 (talk) 16:27, May 2, 2014 (UTC)

Inshredable pitted in round 1
What if Inshredable had failed to escape from the pit? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 16:45, May 2, 2014 (UTC)
 * So that'd be Terror-Bull against Anarchy. I don't think Terror-Bull can't self-right from its side, and the armour's not too bad but Anarchy's axe is very good. Anarchy to win by knockout, so nothing changes. Combatwombat555 (talk) 16:48, May 2, 2014 (UTC)

Shredder not pitted in Fifth Wars
Shredder started aggressively against Mousetrap, but accidentally drove into the pit. What if it hadn't? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 16:59, May 2, 2014 (UTC)
 * Shredder against S3. Shredder would be... well, shredded, it'd lose worse than it did in series 6. Combatwombat555 (talk) 17:48, May 2, 2014 (UTC)

Blade's Big Bruva & Trident in the Fourth Wars
These two were seeded but pulled out before the competition began. What if these robots didn't pull out and competed? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 13:02, May 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * I've always been curious about what Blade's Big Bruva looked like and why it and Trident had to pull out. It's hard to guess how well they would do since we don't know how different they were for this series, so I'm going off how they were in Series 3 for this scenario. First of all, I'd imagine that they would be seeded between Gravedigger and Big Brother. I'll give BBB 14 and Trident 15 (Blade looked a little bit more impressive in its heat to me). Blade fights Hammer and Tong and Clawed Hopper in round 1 of Heat J. Blade and H&T go through on a Judge's Decision after constantly ramming the walker. Blade fights Bulldog Breed 2 and even if it could self-right/run inverted for this series, I'd still back Bulldog Breed to keep flipping it to win via the Judges.


 * Trident fights Wheelosaurus and Prizephita Mach 2 in Heat H. I envision Wheelosaurus getting bashed into the pit/eliminated on a Judges Decision. Trident fights Killertron in round 2 and gives us one of the weakest axe vs axe fights in the series' history. It's fibreglass pricking axe vs plastic bin lid and axe past its prime vs weak shiny metal. The two robots would do minimal damage to each other, and I think Killertron's superior pushing power and scoop would be the winning factor, allowing it to pit Trident.


 * Now things get interesting. Centurion and Suicidal Tendencies were only seeded because Blade's Big Bruva and Trident pulled out, so the rest of the seeds get shunted down by 2. Also, the seeding order was wrong in Heats H and I; WBC was 15, so Centurion (31) should have been grouped with it instead of Centurion (31) to make a gap of 16 like the others e.g. Chaos 2 (1) and King B3 (17). Suicidal Tendencies was introduced as the 31st seed in the Northern Annihilator- a bit of behind the scenes mishap?


 * Anyway, in this scenario, we can assume that the seeds after Trident would be:

16. Big Brother 17. Wheely Big Cheese 18. Killerhurtz 19. King B3 20. Cerberus 21. Pussycat 22. Aggrobot 2 23. Diotoir 24. X-Terminator 2 25. Mortis 26. Berserk 2 27. Shadow of Napalm 28. Plunderbird 4 29. Sir Chromalot 30. Weld-Dor 2 31. Dreadnaught XP-1 32. Stinger


 * Bigger Brother in Heat I: Destruct-A-Bubble may be able to roll back onto its wheels, but it has nothing that it can really retaliate with. Bigger Brother and Eric through via the Judges. Bigger Brother fights Splinter and I see this being the exact opposite of the Series 5 encounter- Bigger Brother is a lot weaker, Splinter faster and I think its gas supply will be ruptured from repeated slams. Now, if we go by the proper order, Stinger would also be in Heat I. Stinger bludgeons Small Torque and Eric before coming up against Splinter. Splinter's front scoop actually held off Hypno-Disc for a while, so I can see it bulldozing Stinger around and winning the Judges' vote on aggression.


 * Wheely Big Cheese comes up against Medusa 2000 and Attila the Drum in Heat A. Attila stays out the way while WBC breaks Medusa with powerful flips. Chaos 2 and WBC throw Attila and Atomic Oota, respectively, before facing each other in a Grudge match. Sorry Roger, but you're still not gonna beat George this time. Remember that All-Stars battle? Imagine that, except WBC is less powerful and reliable this time. Chaos 2 through.


 * Killerhurtz axes Predator into submission in Heat P, before finishing off the limping Raizer Blade. Killerhurtz goes through to fight Hypno-Disc in the Heat Final, ouch. Imagine Dominator 2 in the Annihilator, except 10 times worse. Killy did survive Mauler in Battlebots, but there aren't any killsaws here to save it. Hypno-Disc rips Killerhurtz apart.


 * King B3 slams Reptirron into submission in Heat B, before doing the same to Robochicken. Heat Final time and while King B is a good robot, there's absolutely nothing it can do against Razer except hope that it breaks down (and King B was never the most reliable either). High ground clearance + 4 completely exposed wheels + polycarb armour = tasty snack for Razer before the Semi-Finals.


 * Cerberus in Heat O. Saw Point still immobilises Oblivion 2, before Cerberus comes up against Panic Attack. Head or no Head, the Cyprian Dog of the Underworld stands no chance against the Welsh Champion and gets swiftly pitted.


 * Bolt From the Blue and Ming 2 fight a far superior opponent to a weaponless Diotoir in Heat C this time; Pussycat. BFTB looked a more sturdy and lest suspect to spinning blades than Ming 2 for me, so I think Pussycat will cut into Ming 2's polycarb, before slicing the Morgue and beating it via the Judges. The Heat Final is an interesting one. Firestorm beat Pussycat in Series 4, but it's armour is quite a bit thinner here. I think that Pussycat will take this via the Judges.


 * Aggrobot 2 in Heat N, vs Judge Shred 2 and Millenium Bug. Decent rammer and axe/flipper vs slow walker, no prizes for guessing who wins here. Aggrobot 2 then fights Arnold A and pits it. In the Heat Final, Behemoth just keeps getting under Aggrobot's with scoop and Man-handling (or Bot-handling?) it. The Judges put Behemoth through to the Semis.


 * Heat D- Diotoir vs Mazakari and Iron Awe. As weak as Mazakari's disc is, I think it will still show enough damage and aggression by ripping away Diotoir's fur. Iron Awe axes away and eventually hits something vital due to the almost overweight Diotoir's lack of covers.


 * X-Terminator fights Invertabrat and The Creature in Heat F, and gives us a much more exciting fight this time thanks to its speed. If Invertabrat doesn't get stuck on its flipper, I think that its superior Tag Team partner will pit it. X-Terminator and Tornado would then have a great shoving match, which I think X-Terminator would get the upper hand in thanks to its front scoop, allowing it to control Tornado and get the Judges' vote. The Heat Final still doesn't go well for Gemini. Even though X-Terminator isn't invertible, its self-righting was at its best this year- look at how swiftly it self righted against Behemoth and in the Tag Team Terror, so it would recover from a flip quickly. I doubt that a Gemini twin would throw X-Terminator out on its own, so X-Terminator rams one into an arena spike just like Tornado did.


 * Mortis in Heat E vs Major Tom and Disc-O-Inferno. Disco either gets switched off again or Mortis knocks something loose. Mortis fights Dominator 2 and what an encounter that would be, the 2 best axes before Terrorhurtz. Both robots probably wouldn't cause that much damage to each other due to their tough armour, but Mortis would probably gain the upper hand by using its lifter and shoving Dominator 2 around. Mortis pits Dominator 2, before hacking away at 101 in the Heat Final, advancing to the semis on damage and aggression.


 * Berserk 2 in Heat L. I think it would play a similar role to Plunderbird 4: Sit back as Vercingetorix flips Fat Boy Tin, before being tipped over by Knightmare. If Berserk 2 can self-right, Knightmare pits it.


 * Heat M- Shadow of Napalm has a pretty slow paced battle with Scorpion and Reactor, with Reactor eventually turning Scorpion over like in real life. Shadow of Napalm fights Wild Thing a year early and gets immobilised with another hard slam.


 * Plunderbird 4 fights Sump Thing and Little Fly in Heat K, and pits Sump Thing. Plunderbird 4 uses its good pushing power again to put Mousetrap, before doing the same to Little Fly. The Plunderboys make the semis again!


 * Heat G- Sir Chromalot's wheel hub was pretty tough, so it could probably withstand Warhog until the Hog breaks down. Sir Chromalot's curse of losing in round 2 to the Heat winner applies this time however and Thermidor 2 flips it around until the Srimech tower breaks.


 * Weld-Dor fights in Heat J. I think that it and Bulldog Breed 2 would flip Spikasaurus until it gets stuck against the wall and wouldn't have enough momentum to roll back onto its wheels. Weld-Dor 2 then flips Hammer & Tong, but then Bulldog Breed beaches the Northern Irish machine on its side.


 * Finally, Dreadnaut XP-1 gets put in heat H and fights Maverick and Killertron. Dreadnaught might finally lift something here and put Maverick on its side, or Killertron immobilises the green machine. In the Heat Final, Prizephita defeats Dreadnaut with a flip.


 * Now, the Semi-Finals look like this IMO:


 * Semi 1:
 * Chaos 2 vs Steg 2= same
 * Prizephita Mach 2 vs X-Terminator= X-Terminator slams Prizephita into the Pit.
 * Thermidor 2 vs Razer= Razer crushes the Lobster and eats it in stew.
 * Pussycat vs Mortis= I agree with the consensus from Redone Series 4. Mortis will resist the blade, put holes in Pussycat and shove it around to win a Judges' decision.


 * Chaos 2 vs X-Terminator= We saw this in the All-Stars in Extreme. If X-Terminator couldn't beat Chaos 2 with a great weight advantage and stronger axe, what chance does it have here?
 * Razer vs Mortis= Another thing I agree with the Arena forum on. Mortis has rock hard armour and will hack away at Razer to immobilise it.


 * Semi 2:
 * Bulldog Breed 2 vs Plunderbird 4= The Dog flips Plunderbird
 * Spawn of Scutter vs Panic Attack= same
 * Hypno-Disc vs Splinter= the same absolute carnage.
 * Wild Thing vs Behemoth= Wild Thing is faster, but Behemoth's very low scoop will allow it to bulldoze the Adams family and constantly turn it over to get the Judges' nod.


 * Bulldog Breed 2 vs Panic Attack= Panic Attack either immobilises the Bulldog with a flip or pits it.
 * Behemoth vs Hypno-Disc= I think this would play out like the All-Stars battle.


 * Grand Final:
 * Chaos 2 vs Panic Attack= A fight I'm sure everyone wanted to see. I'm going for the upset and will say that Panic Attack wethers some flips before carrying Chaos 2 around and pitting it.
 * Behemoth vs Mortis= Deja vu, anyone?


 * Playoff- Chaos 2 vs Mortis: Chaos 2 recovers some glory by flipping Mortis Oota.


 * Grand Final- Panic Attack vs Behemoth. This fight happened very recently in real life, with Behemoth winning. Even without years and years of upgrades, I think that this version of Behemoth could still bulldoze Series 4 Panic Attack around and flip it, either getting it Oota or stranding it on a wall. Behemoth is the Champion! MassiveDestruction49 (talk) 17:13, May 17, 2014 (UTC)

Series 4, Heat K
And while on the subject of the Fourth Wars, what would've happened if Evil Weevil had stayed mobile? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 20:41, May 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * Mousetrap gets eliminated. Weevil would probably face the easiest opponent in Round 2, which I believe to be Sumpthing.  It wins when Sumpthing breaks down.  However I think it's not well controlled enough to beat Little Fly in the heat final.  Little Fly's blade get smashed by Stinger in the semifinals and it loses there. R A 2 ; aka Resetti's Replicas.  ( My Talk ) 22:43, May 17, 2014 (UTC)

Hypno-Disc beat Bigger Brother
What if Hypno-Disc had beaten Bigger Brother but lost to Razer? One thing I can think of is the heats would have swapped so Hypno-Disc would have fought in the last heat and Bigger Brother in the penultimate heat.

If Razer beat Hypno-Disc

 * Heat K: I can see Bigger Brother beating 4x4 and Granny's Revenge 2 easily. Bulldog Breed might cause a problem but I think Bigger Brother could beat it so it fights Barber-Ous 2 again. Bigger Brother would probably reverse at the drum and slam it into and onto the wall where it would be trapped and Bigger Brother can simply flick it out.
 * Heat L: Hypno-Disc would be able to destroy Riptilion and Major Tom before damaging Killer Carrot 2. Round 2 would see Hypno-Disc fight Behemoth, a fight which Behemoth won before and win again. Behemoth would probably deal with Disc-O-Inferno the same way as Hypno-Disc, meaning Behemoth makes the semi-final for a second time.
 * Semi-final 2: Bigger Brother would have fought Tornado, a fight which Bigger Brother won in Extreme 2, so Tornado is relegated to the losers melee. Dominator 2 also has a different foe, Behemoth, which it would defeat by axing it until it hits something important. Losers melee is now Tornado, Behemoth and Spawn Again. Tornado would win. Round 2 would see Bigger Brother fighting Dominator 2, which Dominator 2 would win and Terrorhurtz fighting Tornado, a fight won by Tornado.
 * Grand final: In the eliminators, Razer would fight Tornado, where it Razer would win, and Firestorm 4 would fight Dominator 2, a fight I reckon Dominator 2 could win by causing more damage again. Play-off is now Tornado verse Firestorm 4, which Firestorm 4 would probably lose by being pitted. The final is now Razer verse Dominator 2, a fight many have wanted, where Razer is unable to bring its claw into use and Dominator 2 pepper pots Razer's armour leading to Razer losing the title of champion.

If Hypno-Disc beat Razer, this is the outcome of series 6

 * Heat A: Hypno-Disc dominates the first round, destroying W.A.S.P. and Brutus Maximus. Cyrax is torn up and Raging Reality shredded in the heat final.
 * Heat K: I can see Bigger Brother beating 4x4 and Granny's Revenge 2 easily. Bulldog Breed might cause a problem but I think Bigger Brother could beat it so it fights Barber-Ous 2 again. Bigger Brother would probably reverse at the drum and slam it into and onto the wall where it would be trapped and Bigger Brother can simply flick it out.
 * Heat L: Razer would be able to immobilise Riptilion and Major Tom before damaging Killer Carrot 2. Round 2 would see Razer fight Behemoth, a fight which Behemoth lost before and will lose again. Disc-O-Inferno would destroy Razer however in the heat final.
 * Semi-final 1: Hypno-Disc would destroy Wild Thing before being sent out by Dantomkia in round 2.
 * Semi-final 2: Bigger Brother would have fought Tornado, a fight which Bigger Brother won in Extreme 2, so Tornado is relegated to the losers melee. Dominator 2 also has a different foe, Disc-O-Inferno, which it would defeat by axing it until it hits something important. Losers melee is now Tornado, Disc-O-Inferno and Spawn Again which Tornado would win. Round 2 would see Bigger Brother fighting Dominator 2, which Dominator 2 would win and Terrorhurtz fighting Tornado, a fight won by Tornado.
 * Grand final: In the eliminators, Dantomkia would fight Tornado, where Dantomkia would win, and Firestorm 4 would fight Dominator 2, a fight I reckon Dominator 2 could win by causing more damage again. Play-off is now Tornado verse Firestorm 4, which Firestorm 4 would probably lose by being pitted. The final is now Dantomkia verse Dominator 2, a fight many have wanted, Dantomkia would be able to topple Dominator 2 before tossing it over the wall.

I'm not going to say how that would affect series 7 but it does seem that series 7 would be very different. Sam (BAZINGA) 19:03, May 17, 2014 (UTC)


 * In your Hypno-Disc beats Razer scenario (Which I think could happen if the Series 5 versions of both machines came to blows), this is what the seeds for Series 7 would look like IMO:

1. Dantomkia 2. Dominator 2 (No faults) 3. Tornado 4. Firestorm V 5. Hypno-Disc (Might still be absent due to the real-life work and family commitments). 6. Bigger Brother 7. Terrorhurtz 8. Spawn Again 9. Disc-O-Inferno 10. 13 Black 11. Panic Attack 12. Pussycat 13. Behemoth 14. X-Terminator 15. Bulldog Breed 16. Storm II


 * If Hypno-Disc is still absent, then everyone below except Storm 2 gets bumped up and S.M.I.D.S.Y. receives the 15th seeding. If Hypno is present, and the real life draw remains the same, then:


 * Heat A (Or E if the broadcast order is still swapped): Dantomkia sees Devestator as the biggest threat and throws it Oota while Ewe 2 pits Saw Point. Dantomkia then easily throws Leveller 2 and Tetanus Booster out.


 * Heat B: Tornado uses the scoop in round 1 because of Killerkat, learning from what Diotoir did to the drum in Series 5. Tornado slams the cat into submission, while Gyrobot hacks into the higher Jackson Wallop's wheels. Tornado then storms through the rest of the Heat by pitting Big Nipper and Grim Reaper.


 * Heat C: Hypno-Disc has some nice juicy, boxy targets in Round 1. Hypno goes for Hassocks Hog first, tearing off the side armour plates and killing the motors. King B pushes Rick around for a bit, but then has its wheels torn off by Hypno-Disc. In round 2, we see a huge upset. Scoprion manages to resist blows from Hypno-Disc with its tough armour, and manages to tear off Hypno-Disc's exposed wheels. IG-88 immobilises Rick, and then finishes what it started in Round 1 by smacking Scorpion into submission.


 * Heat D: Terrorhurtz goes for Herbinator and absolutely hammers the poor Beetle into submission, caving in the top armour effortless. Meanwhile, Lightning pits and flips The Alien. In round 2, Gravity's weak armour and occasional wheelying prove to be its downfall, as Terrohurtz cracks the polycarb body and ruptures its CO2 supply for the win. The Heat Final is a closely fought battle, with Lightning getting some good shoves and flips in, but Terrorhurtz holds firm and retaliates with some devastating axe blows. It goes to the Judges and both robots are practically tied in Style and Aggression. Lightning wins Control, but Terrorhurtz is put through to the semis on Damage.


 * Heat E: Disc-O-Inferno has an absolute ball in Round 1, turning Brutus Maximus into sawdust, before teaming up with Twister to shred Roobarb. In round 2, Tiberius III resists Twister's blade before puncturing it and pitting it, while M2 exploits Disc-O-Inferno's ground clearance to flip it Oota. M2 still beats Tiberius III.


 * Heat F: Panic Attack slides under Major Tom and drops it into the pit, while Tsunami throws Diabolous Oota. Killer Carrot then fails to get under Panic Attack before being dumped in the pit. In the Heat Final however, Panic Attack is totally outclassed. With no Srimech, no Kim and only 8mph speed, Panic Attack gets swept up by Tsunami and thrown Oota.


 * Heat G: Behemoth and Atomic bulldoze Terror Turtle and Cygnus Oota in a matter of seconds. Behemoth then axes and lifts the boxy Mean Streak over the wall. In the Heat Final, both Behemoth and Atomic get some mighty slams and flips in. Behemoth's floor touching scoop gives it the edge however, and it scoops Atomic Oota to finally reach another semi-final.


 * Heat H: Bulldog Breed: goes for Scraptosaur due to its pedigree, and flips it until it can't self-right anymore. Ceros disposes of Metallis in seconds. Bulldog Breed flips St. Agro a couple of times, gets bored and decides to pit it. In the Heat Final, Bulldog Breed stacks Cero against the wall before throwing it Oota.


 * Heat I: No change whatsoever.


 * Heat J: X-Terminator targets the cannon fodder entry Mobot first, and sends it home in a bucket like the team hoped. Beast then suffers a similar fate while Mighty Mouse runs away. X-Terminator then slays The Kraken, before clearing all Mice from the arena in the Heat Final.


 * Heat K: Pussycat and Infernal Contraption have a duel, with Pussycat getting more effective and controlled attacks in, slicing IC's armour. Mantis pits Jabber, and the Judges put Pussycat and Mantis through. Pussycat fails to penetrate Hard's armour, but slices the wheels a bit. Pussycat eventually tears Hard's link out. In the Heat Final against Kat 3, Déjà vu?


 * Heat L: 13 Black tears Tartarus apart, while UFO shoves Crushtacean around and into the pit. 13 Black then employs its sit and spin tactic against Mute, preventing the New Blood runner-up from getting underneath it. 13 Black then immobilises Mute with a solid slam to the side. In the Heat Final though, Judge Shred 3 is too low and curved for 13 Black to get a good attack in, so the Judge flips the seed around until its Srimech fails.


 * Heat M: Spawn Again immediately throws Spin Doctor Oota, turning it into an airborne Beyblade that nearly rips through the cage. Mega Morg stays out of the way while Spawn Again does the same to Edge-Hog. Tough As Nails proves to be no match for Spawn Again's speed and power, and gets turned into a Flying Dutchman for about 2 seconds before landing outside the arena. In the Heat Final, Robochicken gets thrown straight out. Spawn Again defies the 8th Seed curse!


 * Heat N: Bigger Brother flips the bulky NEATer Machine Oota, while Revenge of Trouble 'N' Strife immobilises Chip with its drum. Bigger Brother then chucks R.O.C.S. out of the arena, before clamping and pitting Raging Knightmare in the Heat Final.


 * Heat O: Firestorm V goes one better than last time and flips Colossus Oota, and then teams up with Typhoon 2 to slam U.R.O. into submission. In round 2, Firestorm flips Iron Awe against the wall and right out. Firestorm then immediately chases Typhoon 2 in the Heat Final, managing to slow its spinner down before flipping the Air Cadets over. Firestorm guides Typhoon 2 into the pit to reach the semis.


 * Heat P: Dominator axes Bamm Bamm into submission while Daisy-Cutter shreds Black & Blue. Dominator 2 then pepper pots Reptirron, but can't finish off the bulky Ripper and gets bulldozed into the pit.


 * Semi-Final 1:
 * Bigger Brother vs Dantomkia- Bigger Brother uses its classic flip & clamp combo to pit the champions.
 * IG-88 vs Terrorhurtz- a fight we saw in Resetti's Wars but I'm going for an upset and the opposite result this time. IG-88's armour wasn't very durable, but Team Hurtz has never liked spinners, and the axe does has a tendency to send Terrorhurtz toppling off balance. IG-88 will exploit this with good slams to Terrorhurtz's front, sides and underbelly, eventually immobilising it.
 * Tsunami vs Bulldog Breed- the Bulldog might have the edge in durability, but Tsunami is faster and more powerful. Tsunami to Oota the Bulldog.
 * Pussycat vs Spawn Again- another grudge match, and finally a good clean fight- no illegal blade or Diotoir & Commengetorix to worry about. Team Cold Fusion may be 2 up, but I think Spawn Again has the advantage this time. It's a lot more reliable now and its armour is too solid for the blade to do anything. Spawn Again will flip Pussycat through the air and Oota.


 * Bigger Brother vs IG-88- Bigger Brother throws IG-88 out almost as quickly as Dantomkia did.
 * Tsunami vs Spawn Again- a close match, both are well matched in speed and power. Spawn Again looks a little lower and more suited to chucking Tsunami around, so Spawn Again throws the Tsunami high and out to claim its first Grand Final.


 * Semi-Final 2:
 * Judge Shred 3 vs Ripper- Ripper flips and pits Judge Shred with a resounding "I AM THE LAW!!!!".
 * X-Terminator vs Firestorm v- Firestorm gets under X-Terminator from the side and throws it right over, before dumping it in the pit.
 * Tornado vs Storm II- same result, the Judges put Storm 2 through.
 * M2 vs Behemoth- M2 rolls over from a couple of flips by Behemoth, before gathering its bearings to get under the bulldozers side and flip it. M2 shoves Behemoth towards the wall and throws it out.


 * Ripper vs Storm II- Ripper's spaced armour will act as a great crumple zone allowing to survive being slammed, but Storm 2 is to quick for it and will pit it.
 * Firestorm vs M2- M2's ground clearance will be its undoing. By the end of Robot Wars, Firestorm could counter just about any flipper with its speed, control and low front, and it took Razer or a mosntrously powerful rammer to really put it down.


 * Grand Final:
 * Bigger Brother vs Storm II- I agree with ToastUltimatum's theory that Bigger Brother could pull it off against the mighty Storm II. It's masterfully controlled and has a very low flipper blade, so I think that it can catch Storm II out and flip it over at some point. With the wedge rendered useless, Bigger Brother catches Storm II on its wedge, clamps down and pits it.
 * Spawn Again vs Firestorm V- Firestorm flips Spawn Again towards the wall and gets it out.


 * Play-off: Storm 2 vs Spawn Again- Spawn Again has the monstrous speed and power required to scoop up Storm 2 and throw it Oota.
 * Grand Final: Bigger Brother vs Firestorm V- Firestorm does a repeat of the Extreme 2 All-Stars to finally become champion! MassiveDestruction49 (talk) 09:04, May 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * Firestorm V finally wins, nice. Nice work, glad to see someone hink that Firestorm deserves a championship. Sam (BAZINGA) 10:59, May 22, 2014 (UTC)

Series 7 Semis Reversed
Simple idea, and it's not really a small thing to change, but bear with me. What if the Top 8 of Series 7 in fact lost in the first round of the semi-finals? How would the series progress then? Here's my thoughts:


 * Raging Knightmare vs Dantomkia - I don't think an OotA is on the cards, but Knightmare is still no real competition for Dantomkia (or many of the semi-finalists)
 * St Agro vs Tough As Nails - St Agro might prove awkward at first by being a pure wedge shape, but TAN will eventually grab hold, and then it will be a straight path to the Grand Final.


 * Mute vs The Grimreaper - Close call. The Grimreaper will have more of an advantage by getting a flip, as Mute struggles with self-righting. However, Mute's flips will be stronger. Mute looks lower to the ground, so I think I'll support it. The Grimreaper is quite a lot like Judge Shred 3, after all.
 * Thermidor II vs M2 - The biggie. This sure was a close-fought thing back in the Audited Series 5 days, eh? Thermidor is definitely capable of exploiting M2's high ground clearance at the sides, but I can also see M2 slotting between the flipper and claws, and pulling a Prizephita-eque victory, or a Judges' decision.


 * Dantomkia vs Mute - Dantomkia is a robot I can trust more than The Grimreaper to exploit Mute's self-righting issues.
 * Tough As Nails vs M2 - M2 will be hard to catch, given its top speed, and its general tactic of running away. But Tough As Nails can grip M2 easily once it comes by, thanks to its big, soft sides. Much as I would like to see M2 in the Grand Final...


 * Mute vs M2 - ...I'm quite happy to see my two favourite robots fighting. Mute could possibly take it just by being lower at the front when M2 kicks back, but Mute was already quite lucky to get past The Grimreaper (and Firestorm!!!), so a few flips should do it in again.


 * Dantomkia vs Tough As Nails - Dantomkia should finally prove too much for TAN, and can consistently slip underneath it and keep flipping. Were any of the Round 1 losers really capable of beating Dantomkia? Toast  Ultimatum  01:46, May 18, 2014 (UTC)

If Thermidor 2 did beat M2 and faced Tough As Nails, I reckon Thermidor would send the Dutch machine flying. In the third place playoff, Tough As Nails would crush Mute. I think if Dantomkia can beat TAN, it will beat Thermidor. Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 14:36, June 21, 2014 (UTC)

Stinger wins, Mace loses
What if Stinger had beaten Mace and went on to fight Wheeliwako? I think had it not driven into the pit, that could well have happened. Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 18:05, May 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * Stinger can beat Weeliwako, but Suicidal Tendencies is the end of the line. Big Brother then beats ST but loses to Chaos 2. They'll get their revenge later. Toast  Ultimatum  22:28, May 21, 2014 (UTC)

Trazmaniac beats Philipper II
I don't know how many of you are familiar with Dutch Robot Wars: Series 2, but the eventual runner-up Philipper nearly lost a Judges' decision to Trazmaniac in the second round. If Trazmaniac got the decision, how would the wars pan out?

I think Trazmaniac is capable of winning the heat by beating Twisted Metal Evo, but Krab-Bot will stop it in the next round. This puts Crushtacean into the Top 4, where it can also beat Bamm Bamm. They meet PulverizeR in the Grand Final... and win! A new champion is born! Toast Ultimatum  22:39, May 21, 2014 (UTC)

Loanerbots unnecessary
A little bit of an interesting situation, but one I've been thinking about a fair amount. As we know, many of the side competitions of the US series featured loanerbots as the teams couldn't always enter with their real robots for one reason or another. But what would have happened if they had been able to enter with their actual robots? Would anything have changed? To note, loanerbots will still be used IF we never actually saw the team's real robot in action (so since we never saw The Wife, Tiger Cat stays).

Extreme Warriors 1
 * For the Robot Rebellion, Brute (Silver Box) easily pushes Close Enough around until it breaks. Tricerabot and Rosie the Riveter easily overpower Shuriken (The Green Mouse) and Mad Cow (Rott Box) in much the same way they did with the loanerbots. Which leaves us with Cyclone (Tut Tut) vs Bot-Ugly (The Green House), and whilst I can't say much for Cyclone's power or reliability in this series, you'd think it'd be enough to do some damage to the exposed Bot-Ugly. In the Rebellion itself, Brute and Cyclone don't quite get their way, but Tricerabot still dominates, so...yeah, almost same result.
 * In the Tag Team Terror, Cyclone is now paired with Drillzilla, but nothing changes as Drillzilla dominates everyone. Since I don't know what the original Joker looked like, and I can't simply assume it was the same as the actual version, Humdrum remains.
 * For the Cival War, Bot-Ugly actually wins a battle after driving the largely useless Spartacus (Spike) around the arena. Nevertheless, it is completely overpowered by Manta in Round 2.

Nickelodeon Robot Wars
 * In the Tag Team Terror, The Gap (Zanzara) puts up a better fight against Spin Doctor, but you can't forget that it was still immobilised very quickly by The Revolutionist in the second US series, so that team will still lose. It'll probably also put up a better fight against Bigger Brother, but it's still a loss.
 * In the Mayhem, Hannibal (Vert-I-Go), whilst unable to flip anyone over, is still able to win after pushing Techno Trousers and Joker around, resisting its flail. The only real change is that it can't do that fancy little trick of tearing Joker's link out. Basenji (Rigby) is destroyed by Revolutionist. In the final, Hannibal tries to resist Propeller-Head, but eventually succumbs to the blows.
 * For the Challenge Belt, Tricerabot (Tut Tut, just for the sake of argument) completely overpowers all three opponents, including its own "sister".
 * For the Robot Rebellion, Basenji (Squirmin Vermin) and Diskotek (Humdrum) are completely outclassed.

Dutch Robot Wars Series 2
 * The original Hard faces off against Neater...and wins. Its small size allows it to avoid the axe, and push Neater around, and IF it were to overturn Neater, I'm not convinced it can right itself. Even if it doesn't (more likely), the constant pushing and lifting earns it the jury's nod. Against Blackdevil Warzone, its luck runs out, and it is buffeted by Blackdevil's drum. Now Blackdevil faces Lizzard, and puts up a good fight...one I wouldn't like to call myself. I think Lizzard MIGHT swing it on aggression, but I'll wait to hear what anyone else thinks.

Phew...CrashBash (talk) 12:44, May 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * Well I think Hard can beat Blackdevil Warzone. BdWz's drum wasn't amazing, and it will struggle to gain a purchase. High ground clearance will cost it, although I think Lizzard would beat Hard. It can probably beat Blackdevil Warzone as well, as long as the Jury don't mind a missing eyeball or two. Toast  Ultimatum  19:47, May 22, 2014 (UTC)

Mousetrap given the win over S3
If Mousetrap had been awarded the win over S3, what would have happened in the later Fifth Wars? Dave Barker said himself it was a close battle. Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 22:12, May 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * If Stinger would've beat Mousetrap again, Bigger Brother be able to pit Stinger I reckon so Stinger would fight Wild Thing and Spawn Again. If Spawn Again dies again, Wild Thing would be able pester Stinger and damage the tires of the axle bot. Wild Thing wins and has to fight Razer, where Razer would be victorious. If Mousetrap beats Stinger, Bigger Brother would just toss it over before it losses the melee to Wild Thing, which fight Razer and loses. Sam (BAZINGA) 21:45, May 23, 2014 (UTC)

The resulting 6th Wars
How do you think that would have affected the seedings for the 6th Wars? Assuming it was Stinger who won, I'm assuming Wild Thing would be seeded sixth, Dominator 2 would be seeded seventh, Panic Attack eighth, Stinger ninth, Spawn Again 10th, Tornado 11th. The twelfth and final seeding would go to S.M.I.D.S.Y..

Heat D:
 * Dominator 2 (7) vs Roobarb vs Shredder vs Armadrillo: The two time semi finalist and Annihilator runner up makes holes on Roobarb with its axe. Armadrillo breaks down, and the two favourites go through.
 * Dominator 2 vs Sir Chromalot: Dominator 2 pepper-pots the Essex machine's armour, and they are counted out.
 * Dominator 2 vs Shredder: Shredder can't stand up to that axe. Dominator 2 into the semi finals for the third consecutive time.

Heat E:
 * Stinger (9) vs Stag vs Vader vs UFO: Stinger swings away at UFO. The Stag gets its wheel destroyed by Vader. Stinger's devastating weapon does enough to put UFO out.
 * Stinger vs 259: Here, we see a huge shock. 259's big, destructive disc damages the former bronze medalist's wheel, sending them out like S3 in real life.
 * 259 vs Vader: Like RelicRaider said, I think 259 will destroy Vader.

Heat F: Heat G: SMIDSY (12) vs Edgehog vs Terror-Bull vs Inshredable: SMIDSY pushes around T-B and maybe rolls it over. Edgehog still gets stuck, and is counted out and goes home. Heat H: No change.
 * Tornado (11) vs Chompalot vs Thermidor 2 vs 13 Black: Thermidor 2 flips Tornado. However, Tornado rams Chompalot smack into the wall. Chompalot is then smashed up by 13 Black, and Thermidor 2 suffers the same mechanical s*** and is counted out.
 * Tornado vs Fluffy: Tornado rams Fluffy into the wall with enough power to break it down.
 * Tornado vs 13 Black: Tornado will use its scoop like it did against Hypno-Disc. I can see 13 Black being pitted and possibly not seeded in series 7 because of this. The series 5, round 2 dropouts are into the semis.
 * SMIDSY vs Thor: SMIDSY repeats Tornado's actually-happened performance.
 * SMIDSY vs Anarchy: Anarchy will try to flip SMIDSY, but flips are just flips, and I think SMIDSY's scoop will be able to get under Anarchy and tip it over. The Cyberspace boys finally make the semis.

Heat I: No change.

Heat J:
 * Wild Thing (6) vs Hydra vs AxeCDent vs Sumpthing: Wild Thing is invertible, so flips won't be much of a worry. ACD is still eliminated. Will Thing is flipped by Hydra, but it's Sumpthing who is eliminated, I think WT will immobilise it with the disc.
 * S3 vs Comengetorix vs Warhog vs St Agro: Watch out, S3's about. The robot beaten in the fifth wars damages Warhog badly with that disc, before the East Yorkshire robot breaks down as always. S3 then rips off one of St Agro's wheels and the two losers are pitted.
 * Wild Thing vs S3: Two very good robots, but I think I know who's going to win. I think Wild Thing is a bit low for S3 to really do anything, and its disc will buckle S3's wheel. S3 out before the heat final again, a very different story from what happened in real life. WT get their revenge from in real life.
 * Wild Thing vs Hydra: I think Hydra could flip WT a few times, but not enough to beat the Adams family.

Semi 1:
 * 259 vs Razer: 259's disc won't be enough I reckon.
 * Tornado vs Firestorm 4: The scoop on Tornado will put the Durham machine in the losers melee for the second year running.
 * Dominator 2 vs Dantomkia: Dominator 2 is flipped out of the arena.
 * 259 vs Firestorm 4 vs Dantomkia: Firestorm 4 will turn over 259 to be counted out, and Dominator 2 will be beaten, judges' decision or otherwise.
 * Razer vs Tornado: a repeat of the real life Grand Final, two episodes early. Tornado goes through.
 * Dantomkia vs Firestorm 4: Firestorm 4 slips Dantomkia over the wall.

Semi 2:
 * Hypno-Disc vs S.M.I.D.S.Y.: A huge shock unfolds as SMIDSY's shovel easily gets underneath the spinner king, and pushes it into the pit.
 * Bigger Brother vs Wild Thing: Bigger Brother throws WT out of the arena.
 * Spawn Again vs Terrorhurtz: same.
 * Spawn Again vs Hypno-Disc vs Wild Thing: I think with H-D and Spawn Again past it, the former in much poorer shape, and the latter making it through Heat H by the skin of its teeth, Wild Thing is through to the last eight for the fourth year running.
 * Bigger Brother vs SMIDSY: The Kent team pull off the shock by pushing BB around, lifting it and pitting it.
 * Terrorhurtz vs Wild Thing: I think Wild Thing could finally make the final by slicing through that polycarb!

Grand Final:
 * Wild Thing vs Tornado: The sixth seed is out of luck as it is pitted by the Sawtry boys.
 * Firestorm 4 vs S.M.I.D.S.Y.: Firestorm 4 easily wins this one. No matter how hard SMIDSY pushes it, Firestorm betters it, gets it against the wall and dumps it out the arena.
 * Wild Thing vs SMIDSY, third place play off: Disc vs lifter, what's it going to be? I reckon Wild Thing will struggle to get away from the 12th seed's lifter and the Kent machine will takes the bronze medal.
 * Firestorm 4 vs Tornado, decider: Tornado, with its scoop, pulls off a tight win against Firestorm 4! TORNADO IS THE SERIES 6 CHAMPION!!

(Of course, if it was Mousetrap who won the heat, Spawn Again would be seeded ninth and Mutant Mousetrap tenth, followed by Stinger & Tornado. Pity we never saw MM in action.) Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 19:50, May 24, 2014 (UTC)

Dominator in series 7
What if Dominator 2 didn't have to pull out and kept its seeding? Here's my prediction:

Heat A: same, except Thunderpants is replaced by Ming, who still loses.

Heat B: same as real life.

Heat C: Dominator takes Dantomkia's spot, and dents Hassock's Hog and Rick, before facing Scorpion. Even if it is a low robot, I'm still gonna say Dominator dents it to win on damage. In the heat final Dominator faces IG88 and can stop the wheel weapon with its axe before pummeling the armour.

Heat O: same as in real life. Heat P: same as real life. Other Heats: see "Razer in series 7" section.

SF1: Tornado vs Dantomkia: Dantomkia is pitted.

Spawn Again vs Dominator: No matter how Spawn tries, it's flipper won't be any match for the axe which will dent its armour.

Tsunami vs Thermidor: Tsunami wins easily.

X-Terminator vs Tough As Nails: XT edges it.

In round2:

Tornado vs Dominator: Tornado wins on aggression.

Tsunami vs XTerminator: Tsunami wins this time.

SF2:

Firestorm vs Mute: self same result.

Typhoon 2 vs SMIDSY: Typhoon destroys SMIDSY.

Storm 2 vs Grim Reaper: flip all change.

Atomic vs M2: flip-all change.

In round2:

Firestorm vs Storm 2: same.

Atomic vs Typhoon 2: same.

GRAND FINAL:

Typhoon 2 vs Tsunami: Tsunami overturns Typhoon 2 and it is counted out.

Storm 2 vs Tornado: no change.

Play Off:

Tornado vs Typhoon 2: Tornado rams Typhoon into submission.

Final:

Tsunami vs Storm 2:

Too close for me to call, I'll leave it to somebody else.

Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 21:05, May 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * Hate to break it to you, but Dominator 2 would have been seeded 4th seeing as Razer didn't return, so it would have been in heat O... Combatwombat555 (talk) 22:01, June 4, 2014 (UTC)

Above Bigger Brother? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 22:02, June 4, 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid so, the Dominator 2 page states that it 'was to be given the 4th seed placing (originally 5th when Razer was presumed to be returning)'. Combatwombat555 (talk) 22:05, June 4, 2014 (UTC)
 * Both robots reached round two of the semi final. I would've had BB above Dominator because it came second in series 5 and Dominator never made the grand final. Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 22:08, June 4, 2014 (UTC)
 * Maybe, but Dominator 2 did beat Bigger Brother in series 6 and Bigger Brother had to come through the losers melee. I'm just repeating what it says on the Dominator page though. Combatwombat555 (talk) 22:10, June 4, 2014 (UTC)

This was done using my prediction of what the seeds would have looked like. If it did enter Heat O, I reckon it would've hacked the two eliminees apart and sailed into round 2 to do the same to Iron Awe, before facing Typhoon 2 in a battle I couldn't really call myself... Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 22:17, June 4, 2014 (UTC)
 * Dominator's one big weakness was the wheels (so I guess that's two big weaknesses), even with the guards they kept getting banged and jammed up. It happened against Hypno-Disc and then against 13 Black in the All Stars (when Dominator had the harder armour), I think Typhoon 2 can do the same. Combatwombat555 (talk) 22:20, June 4, 2014 (UTC)

Storm 2 unseeded
What if Storm 2 had not been given the number 16 seeding and which one of the veterans would have instead? How would that have changed the competition?

My prediction:

I assume Kat 3 will be seeded 16th and fight in Heat I, and Storm 2 will fight in Heat K.

Heat I:

Mayhem vs Rhino vs Kat 3 (seeded 16) vs Supernova: Storm 2 wouldn't've been in this fight, so it's unlikely Supernova would've been slammed into the wall and immobilised. Kat 3 is attempted to be lifted by Rhino, and even if it is tipped over, the axe will help it self right. Supernova slams into Mayhem and immobilises it like in reality. However since it was Storm 2 who immobilised Supernova, it doesn't have that to worry about. Rhino gets sent out alongside Mayhem, they were limping in real life.

Kat 3 (16) vs Trax: axe vs flipper. Dunno if the axe will be enough, but at least Storm 2 ain't around. I think Trax could flip Kat 3 over, but I think it'll be a repeat of the Mantis battle and Kat 3 will win on damage done by its axe.

The Steel Avenger vs Supernova: stronger disc than Shredder. But I think TSA can stand up to it. Its axe can stop the disc. It'll do what it did to Shredder Evolution and reach the heat final.

Kat 3 (16) vs The Steel Avenger:

TSA takes this one for me, based on its superior axe. Kat 3 may do some damage but I've a feeling TSA will do more.

Heat K: Velocirippa vs Hard vs T-Wrecks vs Storm 2: Storm 2 slams Velocirippa around the arena, and the Nottingham machine breaks down. T-Wrecks is pitted like real life. So Hard and Storm through.

Mantis vs Storm 2: Storm 2 is too low to be caught by that clutcher. I can see Storm 2 slam it around until it breaks, or into the pit.

Storm 2 vs Bulldog Breed (12): Not even a flipper will save the poor 12th seeds. Slammed into the wall, roughed up. Another seed fails to win its heat.

Semi Finals:

Storm 2 vs Tough as Nails: Storm pits the Dutch robot. We saw that in the real-life World Championships, didn't we?

TSA vs The Grim Reaper: TSA dents the Grim Reaper.

Storm 2 vs X-Terminator: Storm 2 rams the series 4 semi finalists into the wall. That flywheel won't do sh*t.

Firestorm 5 vs The Steel Avenger: the Durham team make it to their fourth grand final, and third consecutively, by getting under TSA and getting them over the wall like they did with Ripper.

Tornado vs Typhoon 2: I think Tornado will pit Typhoon 2.

Firestorm 5 vs Storm 2: I'm going to assume the front strip stays on, and Firestorm is able to flip Storm 2. Maybe out of the arena.

In the third place Play-Off, I reckon Storm 2 could actually win this time, by ramming Typhoon 2 into the wall several times and causing it to break down. And in the final... Top two seeds. I reckon Firestorm will win, it could just flip Tornado over and leave it to be counted out. Anyone agree/disagree? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 18:12, June 16, 2014 (UTC)

Behemoth doesn't self right CV
What would've happened if CV had been left on its back by Behemoth? I think Tiberius 3 would have trouble against Behemoth which gave Razer a good fight. If Behemoth does beat Tiberius 3, I think that Behemoth would beat Infinity. What is everyone else's opinion? Sam (BAZINGA) 16:39, May 26, 2014 (UTC)

Behemoth would have:
 * 1) Possibly overturned Tiberius, and Tiberius is slow to self right so it would've been counted out
 * 2) Easily toppled Infinity over the arena wall to win. Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 16:59, May 26, 2014 (UTC)

Disc-O-Inferno in series 4
This robot had potential, but broke down in its first round heat. What if that didn't happen?

I would've thought that it would have destroyed Shadow of Napalm in the first round before going into the second round where Dominator's axe could reach it but D.O.I smashes up its exposed wheels anyway. Then in the heat final it could possibly do the same thing to 101. Onto the semi finals, and Firestorm will easily flip it out of the arena, or flip until it breaks down, Firestorm now goes on to fight Pussycat, and wins, putting it into the final. Here, it faces Hypno-Disc, which it clips over to win the judge's decision, third place play-off pans out as normal. The big one, Chaos 2 vs Firestorm, I still think Chaos 2 would win. What do you, the other Wiki users, think?Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 18:45, May 26, 2014 (UTC)


 * I don't believe Dominator 2's axe couldn't reach Disc-O-Inferno, it might be low but that axe put holes in the equally-low Firestorm 2 with no problems whatsoever. Dominator 2 was well driven as well and should keep the wheels away from the disc whilst doing enough damage to Disc-O-Inferno to take the win. Combatwombat555 (talk) 12:57, May 30, 2014 (UTC)

Still, the disc could be a threat to the wheels. Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 14:44, May 30, 2014 (UTC)


 * Very true, and yours is a very valid argument, that was just my take on events. Combatwombat555 (talk) 15:28, May 30, 2014 (UTC)

12 seed gap in series 5
Here's something I found interesting. This is what I think would happen if the Fifth Wars followed the same seeding format as the series before:

Heat A: Spawn Again flips Obsidian up and over into an uncomfortable position. In the second round, it then does the same to 8345T but Chaos 2 is too strong for them in the Heat Final.

Heat B: Behemoth replaces Atomic, and in its first round it beats Kan-Opener. The seeding mistake is not made this time so H-D beats Bulldog Breed and Behemoth narrowly beats Lambsy, and in the Heat Final it is a repeat of the Extreme 1 All stars and Behemoth pulls off the upset.

Heat C: Splinter replaces Mousetrap. It holds off Shredder, before being torn apart by S3 in round 2.

Heat D: Mini Morg takes Gemini's place. Here, it bulldozes and overturns Dougal putting it through to face Reactor who, due to the low ground clearance can't really do much to Mini Morg. Firestorm get the better of them in the heat final however.

Heat E: Suicidal Tendencies fights Prizephita Mach 2, and due to the wedge on ST I can see them not get flipped very easily, and then crushing PP's armour. Then if they don't suffer those mechanical problems, they crush the Alien, but Wild Thing beats them in the heat final.

Heat F: 101 pits Immortalis. Corkscrew then does damage to it to win the judges decision, Heat Final proceeds as normal.

Heat G: SMIDSY replaces Spawn Again and pits Hydra before doing the same to Evolution. In the Heat Final, it will be a big pushing battle but I'm confident they won't make the Tornado mistake and will beat Diotoir on aggression.

Heat H: Atomic faces Supernova. If they are quick enough they can flip Supernova without the flipper being damaged. SN weren't as controlled in this series so that will be their downfall. Atomic does then to Crushtacean what Chaos 2 did the year after. Up against Wheely Big Cheese, and the high ground clearance will be Atomic's advantage, like someone else on here said, so the 10th seeds go out.

Heat I: Mousetrap takes Splinter's place. It beats Viper 01 due to its ineffective weaponry. In round 2 however, Bigger Brother owns it greatly.

Heat J: Gemini fights Kat 3. I can see it win by flipping the poor feline robot over. In round 2 they defeat Major Tom, but Panic Attack will be more than a match for the twins.

Heat K: Thermidor flips Rick over - and possibly out. It does similar to Destructabubble putting it through to face Razer, who crushes it up.

Heat L: X-Terminator could hold off Fluffy with its front shovel, but Fluffy could still rack up more damage points. Rest of heat carries on as normal.

Semi Final 1: Atomic vs Dominator 2: Tough one to call, but I think Atomic could get under Dominator and flip it over. Behemoth vs Firestorm 3: An easy win for Firestorm. Pussycat vs Panic Attack: same.

Dominator 2 vs Panic Attack vs Behemoth: Dominator 2 hacks the other two into submission.

Firestorm 3 vs Dominator: Firestorm gets its revenge. Atomic vs Pussycat: Atomic flips the cat out, or at least takes the judge's decision.

Semi Final 2: Bigger Brother vs S3: same. Chaos 2 vs Wild Thing: same. Razer vs SMIDSY: Razer crushes SMIDSY.

S3 vs SMIDSY vs Wild Thing: S3 destroys the other two.

Rest of semi final pans out as normal.

Final: Razer vs Firestorm: same. Bigger Brother vs Atomic: Atomic wins due to its wider front and superior speed.

Play Off: personally think Firestorm would win.

Grand Final Decider: Razer pierces, and pits, Atomic to take the prize.

Anyone agree/disagree with me? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 22:58, June 2, 2014 (UTC)


 * There's the odd decision I'd disagree with or have to think hard about, like Reactor 2 against Mini Morg (which doesn't affect the rest of the heat). It's mainly the Atomic fights really: Pussycat against Atomic is one of the few matches I genuinely have no idea which would win, but I think Dominator 2 against Atomic I think would end in Dominator 2's favour because of the potency of the axe and the generally fast self-righting (but then I think Atomic would win the losers' melee so nothing changes), and Bigger Brother vs Atomic (I stated my argument against the S7 Atomic in Ragnabot, and this Atomic is weaker). I can't argue with the rest of your logic though, and with your overall result. Combatwombat555 (talk) 23:10, June 2, 2014 (UTC)

Panic Attack pits 101
In the First World Championship, Panic Attack attempted this but drove into the pit itself! If 101 was the one who got pitted, how do you think the quarter finals would have gone? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 20:50, June 4, 2014 (UTC)
 * Panic Attack could have easily beaten Weld-dor- lift, tip over, pit (probably)- but then would have fallen foul of Razer, it's a boxy shape, easy to crush, and if Panic Attack does tip Razer over (which I doubt, it's still very low at the front), Razer can self-right easily.

Cyrax eliminated instead of Ruf Ruf Dougal
What if Cyrax had lost the judges' decision and RRD had been put through to round 2 instead? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 16:35, June 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * Dougal against Razer. Combatwombat555 (talk) 16:37, June 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * And how does that go down?Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 16:39, June 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * Ruf Ruf Dougal is largely armoured in loft insulation. Razer will not struggle to pierce that. Because Dougal's so big and the internals are hidden away a bit, I'm not sure Razer can get to them, but surely the decision will go Razer's way on damage if nothing else. Combatwombat555 (talk) 16:45, June 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * I thought I read someone on here saying Razer were lucky that the two were not drawn against each other. Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 16:53, June 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * I imagine they were probably joking. Ruf Ruf Dougal is underrated, sure; that spike could and did do some damage, and the anti-flipper flywheel was clever. But Razer's in a different league, I can't see Dougal would win, especially with this being probably Razer's most reliable form. Maybe the loft insulation might get into the workings and jam something? But I doubt it. Combatwombat555 (talk) 16:57, June 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * What if Dougal did beat Razer? We would have had at least one different finalist, a different semifinalist, a different heat winner and a different overall runner-up. Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 21:35, July 21, 2014 (UTC)

The Alien in series 6 heat final instead of Shredder
How would the Alien have done had it won that judges' decision? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 20:34, June 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * I think The Alien has a decent chance against S3, actually. I think S3 would eventually win, but if we assume it doesn't, The Alien would win the heat and lose to Dantomkia. Firestorm would get rid of Dantomkia, while 13Black wins the Losers' Melee in the same way it beat The Alien in Series 7. Razer ends a plucky run because it is Razer. Toast  Ultimatum  22:32, June 5, 2014 (UTC)

Warhog being more reliable
What if Warhog had better reliability? It broke down and lost in all three of its appearances. Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 13:35, June 6, 2014 (UTC)

Here are my thought: Those are my thoughts. Sam (BAZINGA) 14:48, June 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * Series 4: Warhog might have still lost so the heat would remain the same. If Dreadnought lost in round 1, Thermidor 2 would probably beat it so the heat final remains the same. If Darke Destroyer 2 was eliminated in round 1, Kronic would survive Warhog and the heat final remains the same.
 * Series 5: Warhog would have beaten Napalm so it now fights Wild Thing which wins by slamming Warhog around the arena walls until it breaks down or it pitted. The rest of the heat remains the same.
 * Series 6: I think Warhog would have still lost as S.M.I.D.S.Y. got under Warhog fairly easily. No change to the heat.

Behemoth wins Heat N
What if the World Championship runner-up had had actually won that judges' decision? They flipped X-Terminator three times but X-Terminator was given the win anyway. Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 18:16, June 6, 2014 (UTC)


 * Behemoth might have been able to pull off the win if that cog hadn't slipped inside, a lot could change in this scenario. I think that its lower front would allow it to scoop Wild Thing up and shove it around to beat the Addams family on a Judges' decision. Against Hypno-Disc, Behemoth might not have been as thickly armoured in Series 4 as it was in Extreme, but then again Hypno's weapon was slower this time. I can see this fight playing out largely the same as the All-Stars encounter, with Behemoth deflecting Hypno-Disc either until the Spin 2 Win boys suffer a mechanical fault or get rammed into the pit.


 * Against Pussycat, it's a tricky one. Behemoth is notorious for having small problems that cost it the battle such as links falling loose, and Pussycat is notorious for causing little problems like making links fall out. However, if Behemoth can keep its front facing Pussycat, then the cat's blade is not going to do anything more than scratch the Titanium bucket. If Behemoth plays its cards right, it can hold off Pussycat until the pit opens and then shove the cat in. In the play-off, Pussycat beats Stinger via the Judges on damage like it did in Extreme.


 * The Grand Final, Behemoth vs Chaos 2. Behemoth has great power and I can see it putting up a terrific fight and getting some flips in, but ultimately Chaos 2 is faster, excellently controlled and can easily exploit the sides and rear of Behemoth to toss it around and eventually Oota.


 * The seeds for Series 5 look like this IMO:

1. Chaos 2 2. Behemoth 3. Pussycat 4. Stinger 5. Razer 6. Panic Attack 7. Hypno-Disc 8. Firestorm 9. 3 Stegs to Heaven 10. Wheely Big Cheese 11. Dominator 2 (Narrowly missed out on winning the Annihilator, and Wild Thing didn't reach the Top 8 this time) 12. Wild Thing 13. Tornado 14. Spawn Again 15. X-Terminator 16-24: Same order from Thermidor 2 to S.M.I.D.S.Y. as in real life.


 * Anyone who wants to tackle that hypothetical Series 5, be my guest. MassiveDestruction49 (talk) 19:13, June 6, 2014 (UTC)


 * I'll give it a go.

Chaos 2 wins as in real life. Pussycat cuts into Black Widow, then Atomic, but Bulldog Breed flips it OOTA. Razer crushes Hippobotamus and General Carnage before piercing S3 and immobilising it. Hypno-Disc beats Bee-Capitator, then Sir Chromalot, then smashes Reactor's wheel in. 3 Stegs beats Trouble and Strife, then Napalm, but not PrizePhita. Spawn Again sends Immortalis flying and Corkscrew as well, then pulls off the shock against Dominator 2. Wild Thing holds off Hydra, then Evolution, and flips Diotoir over and Diotoir is set alight. X-Terminator has a close battle with Supernova, winning on damage. In round 2 though, Crustacean pits it. Firestorm gets underneath Eleven, and should it go to a judges' decision, I think it will win. Firestorm then beats Tetanus easily. In the heat final against Bigger Brother, BB have trouble getting under and Firestorm wins. No change and Panic Attack wins. Behemoth overturns The Executioner, then Clawed Hopper, before holding off Fluffy with the bucket scoop.
 * Heat A:
 * Heat B:
 * Heat C:
 * Heat D:
 * Heat E:
 * Heat F:
 * Heat G:
 * Heat H:
 * Heat I:
 * Heat J:
 * Heat K: Stinger hits away at Big Nipper and then beats Widows Revenge. In the heat final with Rick, the same destruction, only Stinger causes it, not Razer.
 * Heat L:


 * Semi 1:
 * Firestorm vs Razer: razer wins.
 * Chaos 2 vs Prizephita: The only non-seed in this semi is thrown out of the arena.
 * Stinger vs Wild Thing: Wild Thing's disc cuts Stinger's wheels. The 4th seeds are demoted.
 * Firestorm vs Prizephita vs Stinger: The Durham team win through.
 * Chaos 2 vs Razer: Razer destroys Chaos.
 * Firestorm vs Wild Thing: Firestorm reach the final again.


 * Semi 2:
 * Wheely Big Cheese vs Spawn Again: The Cheese prevails because its flipper is better.
 * Bulldog Breed vs Hypno-Disc: Hypno-Disc destroys the bulldog.
 * Behemoth vs Panic Attack: The Welsh wizards pit the number two seed.
 * Behemoth vs Spawn Again vs Bulldog Breed: All three robots will get some good flips or lifts in, but I reckon it's Behemoth who will prevail.
 * Wheely Big Cheese vs Hypno-Disc: H-D will destroy the wheel before the cheese can send it out of the arena.
 * Behemoth vs Panic Attack: Panic Attack beats Behemoth again.


 * Grand Final:
 * Razer vs Hypno-Disc: Hypno-Disc destroys Razer.
 * Firestorm vs Panic Attack: Panic Attack goes over the wall.
 * Razer vs Panic Attack: I think PA will turn Razer over and pit it before it can self right.
 * Hypno-Disc vs Firestorm: I'll let somebody else decide that one. Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 20:27, August 2, 2014 (UTC)

Crusher immobilises Beast of Bodmin
The semi finals would have been very different had this shock been pulled off! How well do you reckon Crusher would fare in the competition if it had managed this? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 21:30, June 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * Crusher would be against Onslaught in round 2, and would struggle immensely to get any sort of attack in unless Onslaught drives straight into the crusher, Razer struggled to catch Onslaught and it didn't have tracks. Onslaught should ram and lift for the win. The heat final is now Onslaught against Invertabrat, and I think Onslaught takes it, it can't self-right if Invertabrat manages to get a flip in, but Onslaught is quicker and I don't believe that Invertabrat will manage to use its weapons effectively against it. In the semi final, Onslaught faces Blade and wins, again it's more manoeuvrable and might be able to get a flip in on Blade to immobilise it. Against Steg-O-Saw-Us, though, I think the dinosaur takes it, it's more powerful than Onslaught and won't be flipped as easily as previous opponents, Steg-O-Saw-Us to ram for the win. Combatwombat555 (talk) 18:25, June 10, 2014 (UTC)

I suppose Onslaught would be seeded then in the fourth Wars, wouldn't it? It did make the top eight, so a top 10 seeding. Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 19:36, June 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I forgot about doing the seedings for the next war. Seeing as Beast of Bodmin didn't enter the next war so I can't just slot Onslaught in where BoB would have been, I think it'd go at 10th, I don't think it would displace any of the other top 8 or Behemoth or Razer. Every other robot moves down a place then, and Suicidal Tendencies misses out. Really can't be bothered saying how the Fourth Wars would play out though, I'm supposed to be revising. Combatwombat555 (talk) 19:48, June 10, 2014 (UTC)

The Mauler allowed to qualify for World Championship
Cerberus would have a deadly enemy to face - but how would that have changed the competition?

I think the Mauler would've destroyed both them and Diotoir - but Behemoth would be a different story. Behemoth would hold it off like Hypno-Disc.Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 22:45, June 10, 2014 (UTC)

Opposite seeding system in series 4
Here's what I reckon would have happened if series 4 used the series 5 seeding system:

Heat A:

Suicidal Tendencies fights Medusa 2000 and Attila. With similar weaponry to King B3, it could get under Medusa, and dent it. ST does to Attila what KB3 did, and it loses the judges' decision. In round 2, Atomic's flipper can get under ST easily so it has the advantage. Heat final plays out as normal.

Heat B:

Stinger replaces Pussycat, where it faces M.A. Bug and Reptirron. Stinger swings its weapon at Reptirron so that it dents the armour, destroying the fuel lines as before. Against Robochicken, due to the armour, I think Stinger takes this one. Onto the heat final with Razer, and with Pussycat not around, Razer need not worry about its wheels, I think it will pierce and immobilise Stinger.

Heat C:

Diotòir is replaced by fellow Irish machine Weld-Dor 2, up against Bolt from the Blue and Ming 2 I would say it could actually get underneath Ming 2 and flip it over. But in the second round, Morgue topples it over though. Heat final as normal.

Heat D:

Mortis is replaced by Plunderbird. Up against Mazakari and Iron Awe, it's a bit of a conundrum but I reckon it will grip/ram Mazakari and do what Mortis did. Plunderbird and Iron-Awe gang up on Mazakari and it's goodbye to them. In round 2, Crusader 2 can't really get under Plunderbird and ends up getting crushed. In the heat final, Steg 2 wins quite easily with its flipper.

Heat E:

Berserk 2 takes on Disc-O-Inferno and Major Tom. I think all it needs is to tip over Major Tom to win, so it goes through with Disc-O-Inferno. In round 2, Berserk faces Dominator 2, while Disc-O-Inferno faces 101. Dominator will hack the 24th seed up, while 101 would hold DOI to a close judges' decision, which is taken by 101. Heat final stays the same.

Heat F:

Shadow of Napalm fights Invertebrat and The Creature. Invertebrat suffers the same weapon misfortune and the others go through. Shadow now faces Tornado, who rams it into submission.

Heat G:

Aggrobot takes over from Dreadnaught. Warhog breaks down again. Aggrobot now faces Thermidor 2, who flips it to win, and heat final continues as normal.

Heat H:

Cerberus is thrown in the ring against Maverick and Killertron. Killertron goes through due to its destructive axe. Maverick gets under Cerberus and it's out due to no srimech.

In round 2: Maverick faces Wheelosaurus. Maverick beats the ailing robot with its flipper. Maverick succumbs to WBC in the heat final.

Heat I:

Splinter, Small Torque and King B3 do battle. KB3 will slam Small Torque into submission and Splinter will hack it. Small Torque sent home to Scotland. In round 2, King B3 has a rematch with Eric, and pits it once again. In the heat final, it faces Splinter, and I reckon Splinter will win.

Heat J:

Pussycat tears up Spikasaurus before doing the same to Hammer & Tong. In the heat final Pussycat does enough damage to win the judges' decision.

Heat K:

Assuming Diotoir is ready in time, it could flip over Sumpthing, and cause it to break down from flipping it. Diotoir now faces Mousetrap, and I think Mousetrap will win.

Heat L:

Mortis steps in for Plunderbird, where it faces Fat Boy Tin and Vercingetorix. Fat Boy Tin goes out. Now Mortis faces Knightmare, and smashes its front hinged flipper in, before tipping it over. Heat final, up against Spawn, Mortis pits the Essex machine.

Heat M: X-Terminator takes on Scorpion and Reactor. XT hacks the poor Scorpion before it faces the Steel Avenger. Here, I think there will be an upset, SA's superior axe will bash in XT's aluminium armour. Heat final plays out normally.

Heat N:

Sir Chromalot vs Judge Shred vs Millennium Bug: Sir Chro and Judge Shred take the walker down. In round two the Class Act are outclassed by Arnold, who flip them on their side. In the heat final, Behemoth take it.

Heat O:

Dreadnaut vs Oblivion vs Sawpoint. I think Sawpoint and Dreadnaut will send Oblivion 2 into oblivion. SMIDSY vs Dreadnaut, Dreadnaut will be rammed into submission. No further change.

Heat P:

Terrorbull vs Centurion vs V Max: Centurion is turned up over by V-Max. No further change.

Semi Final 1:

Chaos 2 vs Steg 2: no change. Wheely Big Cheese vs Tornado: no change. Razer vs Thermidor: The world champion wins greatly. Firestorm vs Dominator: same.

Chaos 2 vs Tornado: same. Razer vs Dominator 2: Dominator pulls off the upset!

Semi Final 2:

Pussycat vs Mousetrap: Pussycat does an S3 and destroys the trap weapon to win. Mortis vs Panic Attack: I think Mortis could actually win this one or maybe even pit PA. Hypno-Disc vs Splinter: Same. Behemoth vs Wild Thing: Behemoth pushes Wild Thing around and wins.

Mortis vs Pussycat: Mortis' armour is too much for Pussycat, and it holds it off. Behemoth vs Hypno-Disc: Behemoth wins.

Final:

Chaos 2 vs Mortis: Chaos 2 takes it. Dominator 2 vs Behemoth: Dominator does immense damage to MAKE Robotics.

Play Off:

Mortis vs Behemoth: Behemoth takes it.

Grand Final:

Chaos 2 flips D2 to take the title.

These will be the seedings for the Fifth Wars, going by my forecast:
 * 1) Chaos 2
 * 2) Dominator 2
 * 3) Behemoth
 * 4) Hypno-Disc
 * 5) Pussycat
 * 6) Razer
 * 7) Tornado
 * 8) Panic Attack
 * 9) Firestorm
 * 10) 3 Stegs to Heaven
 * 11) Wild Thing
 * 12) Wheely Big Cheese
 * 13) Thermidor 2
 * 14) Splinter
 * 15) Mousetrap 2
 * 16) Spawn Again
 * 17) Gemini
 * 18) 101
 * 19) Atomic 2
 * 20) Stinger
 * 21) SMIDSY
 * 22) King B. Powerworks
 * 23) Bulldog Breed
 * 24) The Steel Avenger

If Mortis did enter, they would be seeded fourth. X-Terminator lost their seeding because they fell in the second round.

Anyone agree/disagree?

Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 19:46, June 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * I've noticed a small problem... You said that you think Dominator 2 would beat Razer, and then sent Razer through. Combatwombat555 (talk) 21:10, June 13, 2014 (UTC)

Fixed! Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 21:13, June 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * There we go. :P I actually believe Razer wouldn't make it out of the heat, Stinger is at its peak and Razer has reasonably weak armour. Stinger is also very hard to get hold of, Razer is probably the best equipped vertical crusher to do so but even so, that's a close run thing. Plus, this Razer's a time bomb, its reliability is not great and it could just conk out. Combatwombat555 (talk) 21:20, June 13, 2014 (UTC)

That'd put Stinger against Thermidor - whose side are you on? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 21:28, June 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * Difficult one, but I think Stinger, this Thermidor wasn't as powerful as the post-weight-limit-increase model that flipped Stinger out in the Mayhem. Stinger should do enough to win on damage. Combatwombat555 (talk) 21:31, June 13, 2014 (UTC)

Now Stinger faces Dominator 2 - which swinging weapon will prevail? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 21:39, June 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * Dominator 2 can hit the receiver in Stinger's wheels, and I think took out Stinger in the Northern Annihilator? Dominator 2's shape is also pretty good at resisting Stinger's attacks, the mace should just bounce off. Combatwombat555 (talk) 21:41, June 13, 2014 (UTC)

Any other things you don't quite agree with? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 21:48, June 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * I think that's about it, nothing that really changes the outcome anyway. Combatwombat555 (talk) 22:06, June 13, 2014 (UTC)

And here's what would have happened in series 5:
Heat A: Seeds: Chaos 2 and The Steel Avenger

Win their matches like in real life, and Suicidal Tendencies fights Obsidian, and takes one or two blows but ultimately crushes it. In the second round, Chaos 2 flips over ST beyond self-righting, and 8345T is smacked up by SA's axe. Heat final plays out like in the real-life second round.

Heat B: Seeds: Behemoth and King B Powerworks

Behemoth overturns the Black Widow easily, and KBP's pushing power is a bit much for Kan Opener. Bulldog Breed are in Heat L, so their place against Juggernot 2 is taken by Mini Morg, who easily gets under the Scots machine. In round 2, Behemoth and King B face Mini Morg and Lambsy respectively. Behemoth would beat MM and Lambsy would flip around King BP to pull off a bit of an upset. In the heat final, Behemoth pits Lambsy.

Heat C:

Seeds: Pussycat and Stinger

Pussycat fights Shredder, and does plenty of damage to the brick-like machine. In round 2 it faces S3, and cuts its wheels, rendering 1 Law Associates immobile. In the heat final, Pussycat beats Stinger.

Heat D:

Seeds: Tornado and 101

Tornado bashes Beecapitator around and into the pit, while 101 withstands Rruf Ruf Dougal. In round 2, Tornado beats Sir Chromalot, and 101 can beat Reactor 2 due to its robust structure and pushing power. Tornado beats 101 to win the heat.

Heat E:

Seeds: Firestorm and Spawn Again

Firestorm totals Trouble and Strife, and Spawn Again obliterates Prizefighta. Round 2, and Firestorm topples Napalm over while Spawn again flips The Alien over and its counted out. Firestorm wins the heat final.

Heat F:

Seeds: Wild Thing and Splinter

Wild Thing has the edge over Derek, and Splinter mortalises Immortalis. In round 2 we have no King B Powerworks, so X-Terminator will have faced Kronic 2, who overturns it. Wild Thing beats Kronic 2, while Corkscrew smashes up Splinter. In the heat final, Wild Thing vs Corkscrew. I predict Wild Thing will hold off Corkscrew with the lance and pit it.

Heat G:

Seeds: Wheely Big Cheese and Thermidor 2

WBC flips Gravedigger, maybe out of the arena! Hydra is flipped by Thermidor 2, who just has the better flipping weapon of the two. Round 2 sees WBC beat Diotoir like it did in Extreme 1 and Thermidor 2 beat Evolution. In the heat final, Wheely Big Cheese has the bigger flipper, so it beats Thermidor 2.

Heat H:

Seeds: 3 Stegs to Heaven and Mousetrap 2

3 Stage to Heaven vs Wolverine: The dinosaur takes this on damage due to the circular saw.

Mousetrap 2 vs Supernova: Supernova shreds up the 15th seeds.

In round 2 3 Stegs loses to Axe-Awe, and Supernova beats Crushtacean. Heat final sees Supernova rip Axe-Awe apart.

Heat I:

Seeds: Panic Attack and Gemini. Gemini faces Viper 01, and the twins flip it over easily. Panic Attack beats Eleven. Round two, and Gemini is beaten by Bigger Brother, but Panic Attack manages to pit Tetanus. Panic Attack vs Bigger Brother, and I think Panic Attack would narrowly win.

Heat J:

Seeds: Razer and Atomic 2

Razer crumples Barber-Ous, and Atomic sends Kat 3 flyin' out of the arena! In round 2: Razer vs Tiberius. Similar weaponry, but Razer is gonna dominate this one. Atomic 2 vs Major Tom: Atomic uses its flipper to advantage. Razer wins the Heat Final.

Heat K:

Seeds: Hypno-Disc and SMIDSY

Hypno-Disc vs Big Nipper: H-D smashes the beetle-like robot up with its flywheel. SMIDSY faces Rick, and beats it. Hypno-Disc vs Widows Revenge: more flywheel destruction. SMIDSY vs Destruct-a-Bubble: SMIDSY pits the bubble. Onto the heat final, Hypno-Disc vs SMIDSY, and I think Hypno Disc will badly damage SMIDSY.

Heat L:

Seeds: Dominator 2 and Bulldog Breed

Dominator 2's axe does serious dents in the Executioner, causing it to beat it a second time. Bulldog Breed, meanwhile, sends Fluffy flying. In round 2, Dominator beats Clawed Hopper, and against Terrorhurtz, Bulldog Breed suffers an upset and gets smashed in by that axe. Heat final: Dominator 2 vs Terrorhurtz. I think Terrorhurtz will take this on damage.

Semi Final 1:

Panic Attack vs Pussycat: same as real life.

Chaos 2 vs Firestorm: same as the series 3 grand final.

Wheely Big Cheese vs Hypno-Disc: H-D smashes the cheese's wheels in!

Loser's mêlée: same line up as the other semi in real life. Firestorm wins!

Chaos 2 vs Pussycat: Chaos 2 is through to the final.

Firestorm vs Hypno-Disc: Hypno-Disc actually beats Firestorm this time.

Semi Final 2:

Supernova vs Wild Thing: Supernova buckles WT's wheels.

Behemoth vs Tornado: Tornado bashes Behemoth into submission!

Terrorhurtz vs Razer: Razer rips through that polycarb.

Losers mêlée: Terrorhurtz, Wild Thing and Behemoth. Terrorhurtz tears through Wild Thing, and Behemoth goes the same way.

Razer vs Supernova: Supernova shocks us all by cutting the world champion's wheels Pussycat-style.

Tornado vs Terrorhurtz: Tornado pits Terrorhurtz.

Grand Final:

Chaos 2 (1) vs Supernova: Chaos 2 sends the Sri Lankans OOTA.

Tornado (7) vs Hypno-Disc (4): Tornado has better pushing power, I can see them win.

3rd Place Playoff:

Supernova vs Hypno-Disc: Battle of the flywheels. Very difficult call to make, but I reckon Hypno Disc would stand an ever so slightly better chance.

Grand Final:

Tornado vs Chaos 2: Tornado beat Chaos 2 twice in Extreme 1, whereas Chaos 2 had only beaten it once. I think Tornado would be Series 5 Champion in real life. Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 18:52, June 14, 2014 (UTC)
 * Hmm... One thing I would say, some of these robots (like Tornado, Terrorhurtz, Supernova) were not the beasts they were in series 6/7, like Tornado only has the drum weapon so won't be able to get underneath other robots and push them quite around as easily, Terrorhurtz wasn't quite as powerful, and Supernova didn't seem quite the finished product either. Perhaps worth bearing in mind. Combatwombat555 (talk) 20:25, June 14, 2014 (UTC)
 * If Dominator 2 did win its heat, and Wild Thing beat Supernova:


 * 1) Dominator faces Razer and wins. In the losers melee, Razer pierces Supernova and Behemoth. In the last eight, they beat Tornado.
 * 2) Wild Thing, in the second round, are dented by Dominator 2.
 * 3) In the resulting grand final. Chaos 2 flips Dominator 2 for the win, and Hypno-Disc de-wheels Razer, then in the third place playoff Dominator 2 beats Razer once again before Chaos 2 beats Hypno-Disc in what is only different from series 3 because H-D has a srimech. That sound more realistic to you? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 18:28, June 20, 2014 (UTC)

Series 6:
Chaos 2 throws Brutus Maximum and Wasp out of the arena. In round 2 it does the same to Cyrax, and beats Raging Reality in the final.
 * Heat A:

Dominator 2 will dent the armour of Colossus and Mega Hurts 2. In round 2 Dominator 2 dents Barbaric Response, and X-Terminator is terminated by Cedric Slammer's disc. However, Dominator dominates the heat final.
 * Heat B:

Firestorm oota's Destructosaur, and possibly Iron Awe 2. In round 2, it beats Crustacean like in the Commonwealth Carnage. Against Dantomkia, it wins like in the Extreme 2 Allstars.
 * Heat C:

Tornado pushes Roobarb around, doing it considerable damage. Shredder hits Tornado into the wall, but Tornado survives. Roobarb and Armadirllo still go. Tornado pits Sir Chromalot followed by Shredder. "That'll teach him a lesson!"
 * Heat D:

The ninth seeds, Behemoth, pits the Stag so UFO doesn't have to. Joining them in the second round will be Vader, who immobilise UFO. 259 could do some damage to Behemoth but the Hemel Hempstead boys take it on control. In the heat final they beat Vader in the same fashion.
 * Heat E:

No change. 13 Black wins.
 * Heat F:

Spawn Again seeded twelfth throws Inshredable oota. It then throws Edge Hog out whether immobilised or not. In round 2, Anarchy beats Terror Bull, and Spawn Again faces Thor. Thor will probably be flipped out again. Onto the heat final with Anarchy, and I expect Anarchy to pull off the upset by smashing in the Scutterbot's armour, taking it on damage and making history.
 * Heat G:

Supernova stays in the heat, this time seeded, and is joined by S3. The two disc wielding robots pose a potential threat to Tiberius III and Short Circuit. Supernova immobilise Short Circuit, and Tiberius is destroyed by S3 and Supernova. In the second round, Spam faces S3, and its weaponry will be ineffective, and S3 will knock it into the pit, or immobilise it with the disc. In the heat final, S3 will push Supernova against the angle grinder, destroy its wheel, and cruise to the semis.
 * Heat H:

The absolute same and Terrorhurtz goes through.
 * Heat I:

Wild Thing - as I stated on the "Mousetrap beats S3" section, goes through. It faces S.M.I.D.S.Y., and I reckon the Ixion boys will scoop up Wild Thing, pit it, and pull off an upset. In the heat final, SMIDSY pits Hydra.
 * Heat J:

Razer crushes Barber-Ous 2's plastic armour. Granny's Revenge, badly hit by the immobilised robot, is counted out, so 4x4 goes through instead! In round 2, Razer faces Bulldog Breed, and even if the dog gets a few good flips, I still think Razer will put it to sleep with its crusher. In the other heat semi, Kat 3 dents 4x4. Kat 3 vs Razer, i think there will be a repeat of the second US series. Razer rides on.
 * Heat K:

Hypno-Disc smashes up Tridentate and Derek 2 is destroyed by Disc-O-Inferno. In round 2, against Bigger Brother, I think it will go to a judges' decision, but Hypno will win on damage. Against Disc-O-Inferno in the final, very good battle, I reckon Hypno-Disc will pull off a close win.
 * Heat L:


 * Semi 1:
 * Chaos 2 vs Behemoth: The three (two in real life!) time champions beat Behemoth badly.
 * Dominator 2 vs 13 Black: The Dominator takes some damage from those discs, but the Leicester boys take even more from the axe.
 * Firestorm 4 vs Tornado: Tornado's got the scoop, and is able to push the constant semi finalist around and maybe into the pit!
 * Behemoth vs Firestorm 4 vs 13 Black: Firestorm 4 is easily able to beat these two machines. But I think behemoth will be in a bad shape from 13 Black's discs.
 * Chaos 2 vs Firestorm: Firestorm 4 pulls off the shock by getting underneath Chaos 2. Revenge from the third wars!
 * Dominator 2 vs Tornado: Tornado savages Dominator 2 until either the wheels don't work well anymore, or they're in the pit.


 * Semi 2:
 * Razer vs Anarchy: Razer does to Anarchy what it did to its predecessor in the 1st World Championship.
 * Hypno-Disc vs SMIDSY: Hypno-Disc is pitted by SMIDSY in a shocking upset.
 * S3 vs Terrorhurtz: S3 tears through that polycarbonate.
 * Terrorhurtz vs Anarchy vs Hypno-Disc: H-D will easily beat these two, neither has particularly good armour.
 * SMIDSY vs Razer: An easy win for Razer.
 * S3 vs Hypno-Disc: Hypno-Disc I think will win.


 * Grand Final:
 * Firestorm vs Razer: Razer will win this on damage, if there is no immobilisation.
 * Hypno-Disc vs Tornado: Tornado will hold off H-D with its scoop.
 * Hypno-Disc vs Firestorm IV: I'm not being different or interesting when I say that I think Hypno-Disc will smash Firestorm before it can get a good flip, so HD comes third.
 * Tornado vs Razer: Tornado wins the same controversial way. Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 00:21, July 26, 2014 (UTC)

Series 7 All-Stars - All Eligible Candidates Participate
How would the competition have gone if Bulldog Breed, Ming Dienasty, SMIDSY, Spawn Again, Supernova, Terrorhurtz, Thermidor 2 and X-Terminator had all been available to compete? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 15:59, June 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * Who takes the last spot them? SA or someone else? and if so, then who faces who? --WolfwingandSlaveLeia (talk) 17:30, June 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * Don't think another one's required, there's 8 there. Combatwombat555 (talk) 17:31, June 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * I think they're refering to the fact that Dantomkia only got in because these robots didn't make it in. CrashBash (talk) 17:49, June 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * That's exactly what I'm referring to. Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 21:15, June 16, 2014 (UTC)

Here's what I think would've happened. Bulldog Breed would've taken Dantomkia's place and qualified.

SMIDSY rams MD-N around, its drill won't be very effective. Spawn Again will try to flip its opponents. I think Spawn Again and Terrorhurtz will go through, SA can flip SMIDSY out of the arena.
 * Spawn Again vs Terrorhurtz vs SMIDSY vs Ming:

Supernova will be a threat with its disc. I think X-Terminator will severely damage The Steel Avenger, putting it against Thermidor 2, and I think Thermidor 2 could flip the 4th place robot upside down, meaning Thermidor 2 and Supernova go through.
 * X-Terminator vs Thermidor 2 vs Supernova vs The Steel Avenger:

Two very good flippers, but I think Thermidor will get underneath Spawn Again and flip it over. You never know, maybe it will be a repeat of the Heat N final and Team Scutterbots will be unable to right themselves!
 * Spawn Again vs Thermidor 2:

That disc could tear through that polycarb. Another former grand finalist gone.
 * Terrorhurtz vs Supernova:


 * Pussycat vs Supernova: Supernova could damage the wheels, but so could Pussycat. I'm going to say Pussycat does more damage to the Sr Lankan robot.


 * Bulldog Breed vs Thermidor 2: The dog will probably win.


 * Pussycat vs Bulldog Breed: not gonna try call that one. Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 16:55, June 30, 2014 (UTC)

Series 7 Second Round Semis Reversed
What if the results of the first round of the semis had stayed the same, but the four Grand Finalists actually lost to Firestorm 5, Bulldog Breed, Gravity and Atomic? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 14:27, June 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * Firestorm V would beat Gravity, while Atomic would probably beat Bulldog Breed (I'm not certain on this though). Bulldog Breed would beat Gravity to come third, while Firestorm V would walk away as the winner. Toast  Ultimatum  15:01, June 21, 2014 (UTC)

Disruptor beats Panic Attack
What would have happened in series 2 if the eventual champions had actually failed to win their heat? At one point it seemed Disruptor had the upper hand.

Here's my prediction: I don't think Disruptor would do much better in the Gauntlet. This time there will be no need for a race off, so Mace through. In the pinball, I think Behemoth will narrowly beat Mace but Napalm will go out. Mortis will then damage that bid Lin Killertron with its axe and maybe even flip it over, and Mace vs Behemoth, Behemoth will turn over Mace, but Mace will self right and pit it. In the final Cassius faces Roadblock, and Mortis faces Mace. In the former, Cassius from Roadblock over, and pits it. Mortis then beats Mace. I can see Roadblock winning the third place playoff due to its low front, and I think Cassius will beat Mortis.That means that with no seeds in series 3, the top two lose to Pussycat and Gravedigger in their second-round battles. Anyone agree? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 17:31, June 21, 2014 (UTC)

The Parthian Shot successful in Gauntlet
And pertaining to the same heat, what would have been the situation if TPS hadn't been timed out and Disruptor went out instead? I reckon in the basho, it doesn't stand much of a chance; Shunt can simply slam the poor circular machine with little pushing power of the edges. The last four is now: Panic Attack vs Whirling Dervish, Ron vs Corporal Punishment. I think CP's wedge is pretty good, but Ron is designed to ram. I think the frame will ho!d off Ron, but Ron will ram CP nonetheless. Ron could indeed pit Corporal Punishment. Whoever does win though, I think they'll be no match for Panic Attack. The decision in real life between Disruptor and CP was pretty close. Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 17:31, June 21, 2014 (UTC)

Pussycat in series 7 heat final
What if Pussycat's disc didn't let it down and it beat M2? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 17:54, June 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't think Pussycat's disc was really the problem, the disc was never going to immobilise M2 and Pussycat got thrown around very easily by M2 making the judges' decision obvious, a bit like Firestorm against Pussycat in Series 5. However, if Pussycat had caused enough damage to sway the judges, it'd probably beat Tiberius in the heat final, causing damage and avoiding the crusher, before losing to Atomic, probably going OotA. Combatwombat555 (talk) 18:00, June 23, 2014 (UTC)

Typhoon 2 vs Atomic S7
This was a very good battle, mind you. What would have happened in the competition if Atomic had been able to self-right before Typhoon 2 deadened it with that big blow? Would the Worcestershire robot have won the battle?Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 19:08, June 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * I think that Atomic would beat X-Terminator, no matter what. Storm 2-Tornado is the same, and I'll assume that the Tornado-X-Terminator is much closer. The final, eh it depends on how good Atomic is and who you talk to. Personally I think it will be very close, possible one point between the two that separates it. --WolfwingandSlaveLeia (talk) 18:30, June 29, 2014 (UTC)

X-Terminator vs Immortalis battle
What would have happened in round 1 of the heat if, rather than Refbot righting the fourteenth seeds, the robot just got counted out? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 17:17, June 29, 2014 (UTC)


 * In all likelihood, Corkscrew would beat Immortalis even if its spinner didn't work by ramming Team Death's machine into submission. If Immortalis got a lucky flip in, then Dominator 2 would turn it into swiss cheese in the Heat Final. MassiveDestruction49 (talk) 20:02, June 29, 2014 (UTC)
 * If it went to a judge's decision, it would probably be in favour of XT so nothing would change. Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 22:17, June 29, 2014 (UTC)

Kan-Opener OOTA'd by Ripper
This nearly happened in round one of the last Annihilator. If it actually had, this is what I think would've happened from there on out:


 * Round 2:

Flippa suffer the same mechanical failure.

Kan opener is gone, so Raging Knightmare self rights every time. I think Ewe 2 will still be unable to self right. Just as the Refbot is finishing to count out Ewe 2, Raging Knightmare will pit Robochicken successfully, but Ewe 2 go out instead because they were immobilised first.
 * Round 3:

So Ripper, Raging Knightmare and Robochicken. An all heat-finalist lineup. I think the former two will team up to get the poor bird out of the arena. Ripper's flipper blade could do that if Raging Knightmare's doesn't. Either way, I don't think the poor bird stands much of a chance.
 * Round 4:

Due to the shape of Raging Knightmare, I think Ripper would most likely become annihilator champion. Raging Knightmare doesn't have K-O's weaponry and can't do what the West Midlands robot did to Ripper. Plus even if RK did use its flipper, Ripper has that bump-like thing above the blade, meaning it could easily ram the Leicestershire robot into the wall, and do to it what Firestorm did to itself in the real-life final heat. Ripper beat RK in the real annihilator nonetheless (before losing to the robot who, in this instance, goes out in round 1). A robot that flipped a seed out of the arena in its heat final, is flipped out by a robot flipped out by a seed in its heat final, and Ripper is victorious.
 * The Final:

What are your thoughts, guys? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 17:26, June 30, 2014 (UTC)

X-Terminator pits Typhoon 2
What would happened in the third place play off, the decider battle and the World Championship if X-Terminator had pulled it off and the Scottish robot bounced into the pit? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 16:58, July 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * Playoff-Tornado wins, no matter what. Doesn't matter if Typhoon 2 adapts the robot or not, Tornado's driving wins. Final-Depends on damage, and how the robots come out, really. But for me, Storm 2. 3rd World Championship-impossible to tell. --WolfwingandSlaveLeia (talk) 18:30, July 4, 2014 (UTC)

All-Stars Extra Battles
Something a little different from what we normally talk about, but I think it still counts, so I'll go with it.

You know what the Extreme 2 All-Stars championship reminds me of, in terms of set-up? The German Championship. Minus the playoff and loser's melee, of course. But what if there wasn't a "minus"? What if there was a playoff for 3rd and 4th (Bigger Brother vs 13 Black)? And what if there was a loser's melee (Dantomkia vs Tornado vs Spawn Again vs Dominator 2)? What would have happened? CrashBash (talk) 07:28, July 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * Loser's Mêlée:

Four very good robots in the arena together. Hmmm let's see, I think Spawn Again would be rammed into submission by Tornado and pummeled by Dominator 2. It wasn't at its best during series 6. Then I think Tornado will ram Dominator 2 into the wall and its wheel will be damaged, leaving Tornado and Dantomkia left to fight it out. I think Dantomkia will probably throw Tornado out of the arena.


 * 3rd Place:

Bigger Brother will do to 13 Black what Gravity did to it in the Seventh Wars. Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 08:12, July 9, 2014 (UTC)

Eleven in the Fifth Wars
What if it had been put through by the judges to the second round instead of 3 Stegs To Heaven? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 19:59, July 15, 2014 (UTC)


 * If 3 Stegs was eliminated (severe mechanical failure that can't be repaired in time maybe?), Then Eleven would face Tetanus. Realistically, Tetanus would win either win through rupturing the hydraulic cables with the sharp forklift, or after a boring 5 minute "battle" of driving around and poking Eleven, winning the Judges' decision on Aggression. If by some miracle Tetanus got grounded by bending its own chassis or drove over a CO2 jet again, then Eleven would fight Bigger Brother in probably the weirdest Heat Final ever. If Bigger Brother's much weaker Series 4 flipper could flip over Clawed Hopper, then its House Robot slaying flipper could could most likely flip 194 kgs. However, I doubt that Bigger Brother could effectively throw over or push something as massive as Eleven, so it wins this fight either by firing the flipper and catching some hydraulic cables, or Killalot getting bored of seeing BB poke Eleven and coming in to dump the massive walker oota (If Kilallot doesn't fall right over while trying to pick such a hugh and heavy thing up lol).


 * But wait! Bigger Brother suffers from a severe mechanical failure halfway through the battle, putting Eleven through to the Semi-Finals! Eleven looks to be the underdog against S3, but the Hammerhead Shark's disc gets caught on a hydraulic cable, allowing Eleven to slowly, torturously drag S3 into the pit! Eleven then comes up against the mighty Chaos 2, and surely it's heroic, Costa Rica-esque underdog run is about to end.... No! Chaos 2 can't flip Eleven over, and then Eleven slams the jaws/hammer down on Chaos 2's rear, piercing right through the polycarb cover and miraculously destroying Chaos 2's motor connections!


 * Into the Grand Final, and Eleven faces the terrifying Hypno-Disc. The Rose boys are merciless; ripping into Eleven's legs and jaws, causing hydraulic fluid to spew everywhere! It must be over now, Eleven can only twitch and move 1 millimetre per minute! Hypno-Disc decides that enough is enough and goes for the pit release trigger. Hypno-Disc lines up, ready to slowly push the crippled walker into the abyss..... OH NO!!!!! Hypno-Disc drives straight under Eleven and slides on the Hydraulic fluid, skittering into the pit! Eleven through to the final battle, and the World Champion Razer awaits. Razer immediately rams into one of Eleven's raised legs and crushes part of the shaft, almost hitting a cable. Eleven still ventures forth, and Razer is completely stumped! It literally runs rings around Eleven, but just can't find a way to effectively grab it! Razer decides to go for the front and.... WHAT A MISTAKE! Just as Razer lines up an attack from the front, Eleven's jaws come crashing down and clamp around the mighty Claw! Eleven picks Razer up and holds it in the air like a scalp! Craig, JP, Philippa, the Judges and the Audience are utterly spellbound at this sight, to the point where no-one can form enough words to bring up the 30 second pinning rule, and the announcer forgets to call cease! Over the course of an awe inspiring 30 minutes, Eleven slowly struts towards the pit release, turns around, then carries Razer over the hole and drops it in! ELEVEN IS THE FIFTH WARS GRAND CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!!!


 * ..... Sorry for quite the tangent there, felt like a bit of fun :) MassiveDestruction49 (talk) 21:20, July 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * Maybe Eleven could beat Storm II after all. Toast  Ultimatum  21:41, July 15, 2014 (UTC)


 * Sooooooo, basically, Eleven is the ultimate troll-bot is what you're saying? CrashBash (talk) 20:39, July 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * Potentially, yes. Eleven really isn't capable of fighting, but there's very little that an opponent can actually do to it unless they have the power to rip it apart- even then it'll leak hydraulic oil and you'll struggle to gain traction on the floor afterwards. It probably can't be pitted- it's 2 and a half metres long, very wide and has 8 massive legs on the ground, if you put 2 legs over the pit, the other 6 would probably stay on the ground and keep it out. Want to push Eleven around? Good luck. By ramming a leg, you're pushing against 1/8th of the weight distribution and might shunt the 194kg machine in an arc a little bit. The only way to push Eleven in a straight line would be to have the power of Storm 2 and a wedge/scoop wide enough to make contact with both of Eleven's front legs, or tall enough to shunt against the main body- Behemoth might have a chance. Want to try crushing it? Eleven's chassis has a massive ground clearance, so Razer, Tiberius etc would just lift themselves off the ground as soon as the claw makes contact with the top of the robot; they might crush into Eleven when the wedge hits the bottom, but then they'd be stuck in the air. Finally, the only flippers I can see with a shot at turning Eleven over are massive launch pads like Wheely Big Cheese, Gravity and Spawn Again.


 * In the long run though, Eleven would lose to any semi-competent robot, but it's fun imagining what an awkward opponent it could be for others to fight. MassiveDestruction49 (talk) 21:25, July 16, 2014 (UTC)

SMIDSY in series 6
What would have happened in the heat final had S.M.I.D.S.Y. been given that judge's decision and Dominator 2 went home? What would have happened to Bigger Brother and Tornado in the semifinals? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 19:23, July 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * I've thought about this before, S.M.I.D.S.Y. could have done really well. First of all I think it would have beaten Hydra. Hydra's hammer wasn't that punishing in Series 6, and S.M.I.D.S.Y.'s front wedge looked lower and more effective, so it shoves Hydra around and into the pit. In the Semi-Finals, S.M.ID.S.Y. faces Bigger Brother, and I reckon it can pull off an upset. Bigger Brother most likely won't flip S.M.I.D.S.Y. Oota- it's more suited to flipping big bulky robots like Splinter and S3 out, while the low, flat 3 Stegs and Disc-O-Inferno just wouldn't go over the wall. S.M.I.D.S.Y. has more pushing power, just as much experience in the arena, is well driven, and if it gets flipped over it can readjust the lifter to lie against the ground again. S.M.I.DS.Y. to lift Bigger Brother up and pit it.


 * Against Tornado, I really think that S.M.I.D.S.Y. can pull off a tight win. It actually managed to beat Tornado in a live event Tug of War around the time of Series 5, and I think that the lifter can get under the scoop and lift Tornado up to carry it around. S.M.I.D.S.Y. through to the Grand Final on a close Judges' decision. There however, S.M.I.D.S.Y. is probably outclassed at last. Firestorm IV is quick, well driven and will just keep scooping up S.M.I.D.S.Y. and flipping it before the Cyberspace machine can get an effective attack in. The Play-off with Terrorhurtz? We saw that fight in the Challenge Belt. Still, 4th place is not bad at all.


 * Into the All-Stars, let's say that S.M.I.D.S.Y. is in Dominator 2's position. It and Spawn Again will team up to pit the tired Hypno-Disc, but then 13 Black constantly hammers S.M.I.D.S.Y. into submission.


 * Due to Razer retiring, S.M.I.D.S.Y. is seeded 3rd for Series 7. It clears its heat fairly well; shoving and pitting/getting the judges' vote against Killerkat, Jackson Wallop, Big Nipper and the Grim Reaper. However, S.M.I.D.S.Y. is hopelessly outmatched against Storm 2. It puts up a valiant fight and does well to hang on, but Storm 2 yells "Sorry Mate, I Didn't See You" as it blows the cyberspace machine into the pit. MassiveDestruction49 (talk) 21:48, July 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * If Tornado wasn't in the final, does that mean Firestorm V is seeded first? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 22:05, July 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * Argh completely forgot about that, good point. Hmm, Razer would most likely win the Series 6 Final in this case. Let's say that they were convinced to return for Series 7 as reigning champion. Razer wins Heat A/E about as easily as Tornado did, Firestorm wins Heat P, Terrorhurtz still isn't ready and shows up for drama, and S.M.I.D.S.Y. is seeded 4th. In Heat O, it teams up with Typhoon 2 to ram Colossus and U.R.O into submission, before pitting Iron Awe. The Heat Final however is a bloodbath for poor old S.M.I.D.S.Y., who can't stop Typhoon 2's spinner, and gets ripped apart by the RAF cone of doom. MassiveDestruction49 (talk) 23:39, July 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * Razer would beat Raging Knightmare but Gravity proves to be a tricky opponent and Razer is caught side on and sent out. Gravity fight Storm 2 and loses after being pitted. Gravity wins the play-off after getting under X-Terminator's side and sending it onto its back. Sam (BAZINGA) 12:36, July 17, 2014 (UTC)

13 Black in the Fifth Wars
What if 13 Black had been put through instead of Corkscrew on that judges' decision? 13 Black appeared to be mobile at the end but not Corkscrew, but Corkscrew got sent through anyway. Personally I think it could beat X-Terminator, but Dominator will beat the unimproved series 5 version of the machine. What do the rest of us think? I love to hear your opinions. Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 09:30, July 23, 2014 (UTC)

Corkscrew Pitted in Commonwealth Championship
In the Commonwealth championship in Extreme 2, Corkscrew was nearly pitted just before Bondi Fitch was immobilised. What if the Scottish robot went out? I suppose on a judge's decision it would've been pit through, but if it wasn't, I reckon Bondi Titch would lose to Crushtacean who would lose to Firestorm as usual.Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 16:28, August 2, 2014 (UTC)

Firestorm 3 given win over Razer in Series 5
In the grand final eliminator between Firestorm and Razer, it was so close the judges had to go into the arena to inspect the damage, only the second time in Robot Wars history that this had ever happened. They gave the win to Razer on a close decision. What would have happened in the very last battle if they had made the opposite decision, how would the play off have gone down, and what would the seedings for Series 6 look like? I think Firestorm would have beaten Bigger Brother. Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 21:18, August 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, for a start the play-off would have been Hypno-Disc against Razer, a fight I genuinely don't know which way it'd go and I'm not going to try and call. The final would be interesting, because Firestorm's flipper had been killed by Razer, leaving it weaponless, but it's very low at the front and difficult to flip from the sides anyway... I'd give Firestorm the benefit of the doubt, I'm thinking it's aggressive and fast enough to scoop up Bigger Brother and probably pit it like it did to Hypno-Disc (although maybe not following it in this time). If Firestorm's flipper is working, easy win.
 * As for the seedings, depending on whether Hypno-Disc or Razer won the play-off, the top four seeds would be:
 * Firestorm
 * Bigger Brother
 * Razer (timeline 1)/Hypno-Disc (timeline 2)
 * Hypno-Disc (timeline 1)/Razer (timeline 2)
 * So the new series then goes as follows:
 * Heat A: No real threat to Firestorm here, breezes through the melee by taking out Brutus Maximus and W.A.S.P. as the two weakest, dispatches Cyrax, then out-flips Raging Knightmare to win the heat.
 * Heat B, timeline 1: If Razer takes the third seed, the opening melee might change a bit, as I imagine it'd steer clear of the robot that looks most threatening in Cedric Slammer, so takes on and knocks out Colossus and Mega Hurts 2. Razer can get to the wheels of Barbaric Response and immobilise it from there, whilst X-Terminator can withstand Cedric Slammer's disc and axe away at the top to take the judges' decision. X-Terminator could take out the wings with the axe then get side on and tip Razer with the scoop, but I think it's more likely that Razer simply charges in, out-wedges the scoop, and crushes through the front.
 * Heat B, timeline 2: If Hypno-Disc was the third seed, I'd imagine that Colossus is perhaps seen as the biggest threat with the large flipper; this plus Cedric Slammer's semi-exposed wheels and Mega Hurts' weak armour makes those two a tempting target. In the next round, Hypno-Disc may not like scoops much, but Barbaric Response's wheels again look a little vulnerable to a powerful weapon. I actually think Colossus might be able to beat X-Terminator, a big flipper that can turn it right onto its back seems to be a weakness. In the heat final, it makes no difference, Hypno-Disc takes it against either robot with ease.
 * Heat K, timeline 1: If Hypno-Disc's the fourth seed, nothing changes...
 * Heat K, timeline 2: ...But if Razer's fourth it's a bit more interesting. In the melee, dissuaded by the look of Barber-Ous 2 and stumped by Granny's Revenge, Razer goes after 4x4 as the easy target and crushes through it easily. Barber-Ous takes out the granny. Bulldog Breed is a more difficult opponent, but Razer just doesn't lose to flippers, I don't think Bulldog Breed can even touch the ground clearance, so a few crushes and Razer's through; even if Bulldog Breed's fairly tough armour holds it off, Razer will have controlled enough of the fight to win. The heat final, and I think Barber-Ous, though dangerous, won't beat Razer here- it's prone to knocking itself out, for a start, and if Razer just manages to charge at Barber-Ous and catch it with the wedge, the drum will stop and Razer can crush through the plastic at its leisure.
 * Heat L: no change.
 * Semi Final 1: Firestorm faces Wild Thing and wins, exploiting the gaping ground clearance. Depending on who won Heat B, it's Razer against 13 Black, which we've seen, or Hypno-Disc... I think the Rose family take this: with 13 Black having two flywheels, the weight must be balanced somewhere, either through weak armour (so Hypno-Disc can smash through to the wheels), or weaker discs (so Hypno-Disc doesn't take as much damage) or most likely both. The Losers Melee goes as normal, so either S3 faces either Razer (seen it) or Hypno-Disc, which again can get at the very exposed wheels, and I'd like to see what happens to S3 if the two discs met... In the other battle, Firestorm takes on Dantomkia and wins.
 * Semi-Final 2: Now, Tornado takes on either Hypno-Disc and defeats it as actually happened, or Razer... Tornado would use the anti-Razer cage and win most probably, as Razer doesn't have an effective counter to it yet. Bigger Brother vs Dominator 2 is as normal. The Losers Melee goes either as normal, or Razer, in a fight with two opponents it's fought and beaten before, might find itself ganged up upon like Hypno-Disc was. Unlike Hypno-Disc, this incarnation of Razer is pretty reliable and should withstand, maybe not immobilising either opponent but creating enough damage to see it through a tight judges' decision. In timeline 1, Terrorhurtz defeats Bigger Brother as normal, otherwise Razer faces Terrorhurtz and wins.
 * Grand Final, timeline 1: This consists of Firestorm, Razer, Tornado, and Terrorhurtz, with essentially the same fights taking place in different orders. Razer is drawn against Tornado in the first round and loses: the first fight of Razer against the anti-crusher cage in this timeline, and again, no defence. Firestorm defeats Terrorhurtz narrowly as what happened in the real play-off. Beyond this, Razer pits Terrorhurtz in the play-off and Tornado takes the title by pitting Firestorm.
 * Grand Final, timeline 2: This consists of Firestorm, Hypno-Disc, Tornado and Razer. Hypno-Disc fights Tornado and loses, with Razer once again defeating Firestorm. In the play-off, a lower, less damaged Firestorm can more easily defeat Hypno-Disc. The final is the second meeting in this series between Razer and Tornado's anti-crusher cage, so maybe by now they've devised a way to counter it more effectively, I'll leave that to your imagination... :P Combatwombat555 (talk) 22:01, October 29, 2014 (UTC)

 * Yeah, I realise it'd have been about half the length if I'd just made a decision on that, but I think making the decision would have taken about as long as writing all of this out... Combatwombat555 (talk) 22:45, October 29, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeeeeeeah, that's kinda what I'm worried about. Probably should have made that the first fight analysis, and not Panic Attack vs Tornado. Oh well. CrashBash (talk) 22:52, October 29, 2014 (UTC)

One more weapon themed battle
As we know, there were three weapon themed battles, to decide who had the best spinner, the best axe and the best crusher...well, out of the robots available. As we know, Shredder Evolution, Iron Awe 2.1 and Mantis won those respective battles. But what if there was one more battle? One more three-way melee to decide...which weapon was the best overall? What if the three winners of their weapon-melees faced off against each other? What then? CrashBash (talk) 17:21, August 13, 2014 (UTC)

I think Shredder Evolution would be the most likely winner. Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 22:27, February 7, 2015 (UTC)

Thor beats Storm 2
What would have happened in the New Blood Championship if Thor had actually won? Storm II were sent through even though their tyres were smoking! Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 16:27, August 19, 2014 (UTC)

Gemini's wheely bars
I've decided to make this topic more open, rather than about just one battle. For Extreme 1 and the Fifth Wars the clusterbot had its wheelying problem solved - badly - with the addition of wheely bars - but this only made things worse when the robot clusters got flipped, as they couldn't self right. In other words, they solved a small problem of theirs with an even bigger problem. What would have become of the robot in series 5 and Extreme 1 if the wheely bars had never been used? How would it have changed their performance? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 17:27, August 19, 2014 (UTC)
 * Extreme 1: I think the wheelie bars were only added for the Mayhem, not the All-Stars, so Razer's still going to have won that. In the Mayhem, The Spider got immobilised really quickly and, let's face it, Napalm was hardly stiff opposition by this stage, so Gemini should easily win. In the Annihilator, Gemini would definitely outlast Fighting Torque- it's made of plastic and can't self-right- and probably flip The Steel Avenger over enough times so that it runs out of gas. If we assume Panic Attack still has to retire because of the damage, Gemini's through against Spirit of Knightmare, which it'll probably outlast, but then it's out of luck against the destructive Disc-O-Inferno, the armour can't be that strong and those exposed wheels, ouch...
 * Series 5: Reactor 2 against Gemini is an interesting fight, because both are going to get back on their wheels every time. I think Gemini can probably take the judges' decision by getting more flips in though. Against Firestorm, though, it's out of luck: Firestorm's difficult to flip and should be able to scoop one of the twins up and throw it out of the arena. Combatwombat555 (talk) 18:56, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

Gravedigger in Series 4
What would have happened in Heat G if Gravedigger's flipper was working? How would it have fared against Kronic the Wedgehog and Thermidor? It lost because the flipper malfunctioned and so it couldn't self right. My opinion:
 * If Gravedigger is eliminated: no change.
 * If Thermidor II is eliminated: Kronic narrowly beats DNXP1, and Gravedigger beats DD2 for the second year running. I reckon Kronic would win the heat final, but Pussycat would beat it. Kronic gets the #16 seeding next year.
 * If Kronic is eliminated: Gravedigger beats DD2, and Thermidor 2 beats DNXP1. I think Thermidor II will win the heat final. We know what happened next...

Corkscrew Two's weapon working in series 7
If Corkscrew Two's weapon got working, how would it have fared against Judge Shred 3, Demolition Man and Mute? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 20:52, October 28, 2014 (UTC)
 * In most other heats, I'd say that a weapon like Corkscrew Two's could do a fair amount of damage and it'd probably get through. Against two well-armoured flippers that are on the whole too low to hit when it's been flipped and the blade's positioned at the top of the robot, I think Corkscrew's had it. Maybe Judge Shred will have a little more damage by the end, but I wouldn't mind betting that Corkscrew Two's still going OotA. Combatwombat555 (talk) 20:51, October 29, 2014 (UTC)

Revolution 3 pits Ceros
What if Revolution 3 had actually stayed mobile, pitted Ceros to win, and then went through to face St Agro in the Heat H final? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 19:41, October 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * St. Agro has a good enough wedge to keep getting underneath Revolution 3 and throwing it over, which would probably cause it to break down. Failing that, St. Agro might get it OotA- it's not a bad shape to throw around- or just win the judges' decision on aggression. Revolution 2 would do better to be honest, it's harder to throw around and stands a better chance at getting the wheels with the massive blades. It's a little annoying that the team switched from a great looking design that worked a little to a boring generic box that didn't at all. Combatwombat555 (talk) 19:54, October 30, 2014 (UTC)

Revolution 3 out in round 1
And pertaining to Heat H, what if Revolution 3 had actually been ruled immobile and The Scrapper went through to face Ceros instead? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 20:13, October 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * Seeing as The Scrapper apparently had a drive fail simply by Revolution 3 ramming into it a bit, I think it's safe to say that it's not the most reliable of machines. Ceros' flipper wasn't bad, and can probably throw The Scrapper around enough to invoke the breakdown. If not, I can't really see The Scrapper causing enough damage to Ceros to sway the judges. If by some miracle The Scrapper does manage to beat Ceros, it's of no consequence, St. Agro would dispatch it easily enough in the final. Combatwombat555 (talk) 22:02, October 30, 2014 (UTC)

Fluffy in series 7
How would the judges have voted in Heat F if Fluffy hadn't suddenly lost mobility? Would this destructive machine have made it to round two? I think that it might be put through on damage, and instead Constrictor goes out. In round two, Tsunami washes Fluffy away, possibly OootA.Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 23:20, October 30, 2014 (UTC)

S3 in series 5 final
I know this would've been controversial, but what if S3 had been given the win over Razer, and the world champions went out of the competition instead. How would they have fared in the last four? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 19:22, November 19, 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't think that would happen. Razer was winning by far before the judges' decision, S3 was smoking and had done pretty much nothing all battle. If S3 did miraculously get the decision, it's against Firestorm, which beat it in series 6, and then Hypno-Disc in the play-off: against a powerful horizontal disc that can get the wheels, I think S3's done for. Combatwombat555 (talk) 19:36, November 19, 2014 (UTC)

And Firestorm would probably beat Bigger Brother. Therefore Firestorm becomes Fifth Wars Grand Champion.

So, onto series 6: the top seven seeds would be: Firestorm 4, Bigger Brother, Hypno-Disc, S3, Chaos 2, Razer and Dominator 2.


 * Heat A: Firestorm beats WASP, Brutus Maximus followed by Cyrax and sends Raging Reality over the edge.


 * Heat B: H-D destroys Cedric and Megahurts, followed by Colossus and then the aluminum box that is XT.


 * Heat C: Dantomkia. That is all. It happened in real life.


 * Heat D: Dominator 2 makes holes in all of its opposition and unanimously wins the heat.


 * Heat E-I: same.


 * Heat J: Razer blows Sumpthing's engine and does the same to Axe-C-Dent. It then punctures SMIDSY and precipitates Hydra!


 * Heat K: The two spinners send 4x4 back to Ireland and Granny's Revenge to the old folks' home. Then S3 faces a huge upset - it was never a fan of flipper-wedges, and while it may do some damage to Bulldog Breed, I honestly think the Staffordshire boys have a better chance of winning. The fourth seeds become a victim of their own flipper-prone design. Bulldog Breed then beats Barber-Ous.


 * Heat L: The self same.

If Razer beats Tornado: If Tornado beats Razer:
 * Semi 1:
 * Firestorm vs Wild Thing: Wild Thing has little (if any) chance. The top seeds take this one.
 * Hypno-disc vs 13 Black: H-D has one disc, 13 Black has two... one too many. The Banbury boys will most likely take this one.
 * Dominator 2 vs Dantomkia: Dantomkia will flip D2 over and possibly out!
 * 13 Black vs Wild Thing vs Dominator 2: Interesting one this! I think Wild Thing will damage 13 Black considerably, but D2 will get its revenge from Extreme 1. D2 for me.
 * Firestorm 4 vs Dantomkia: It starts with Fire and ends with Storm. The DTK boys may have beaten Chaos 2 but they won't beat Graham and Hazel.
 * Hypno-disc vs Dominator 2: HD can do D2's wheel in, even if the armour is good and the wheel guarded. I'll assume HD wins.
 * Semi 2:
 * Bulldog Breed vs Tornado: How reliable was the bulldog? Well, I'll assume Tornado has its scoop, so it can push the dog all around the arena, and I think it will win on control and aggression.
 * Bigger Brother vs Razer: Razer will probably win, judges decision.
 * Spawn Again vs Terrorhurtz: No change.
 * Bulldog Breed vs Bigger Brother vs Spawn Again: I think Spawn Again will lose. Bigger Brother vs Bulldog Breed, I think the one with the better flipper will take it. I'mma go with Bigger Bro.
 * Razer vs Tornado: Tornado may or may not use the anti crusher frame.
 * Bigger Brother vs Terrorhurtz: same
 * Final:
 * Firestorm vs Terrorhurtz: Terrorhurtz loses like in real life. It is demoted to play off like in real life, but it won't be against Firestorm.
 * Razer vs Hypno-disc: HD will do more damage to Razer than Razer will do to them, and Razer will face TH.
 * Razer vs Terrorhurtz: The sixth seed takes the bronze medal.
 * Firestorm 4 vs Hypno-disc: It will be a closely fought fight. I think Firestorm will edge it though.
 * Tornado vs Hypno-Disc: Tornado, with the scoop, is easily allowed to outclass the Rose family. The third seeds are demoted to the play off...
 * Hypno-disc vs Terrorhurtz: ...where they tear Terrorhurtz to polycarb pieces.
 * Tornado vs Firestorm 4: Tornado wins like in real life.

In the Extreme 2 All stars, Bulldog Breed takes S3's place, but I don't think it will last long with Firestorm and Bigger Brother in there.

Vader in series 7
Vader went out in the first round heat after breaking down. What would have happened if the robot hadn't suddenly ground to a halt? Would it still have been beaten? And if it did go through, how would it have fared against Pussycat or Roobarb? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 21:32, December 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * Interesting one, it really depends which robot M2 goes for first, it's got the beating of both of Vader and Tiberius 3. For the purposes of this, though, I'll assume Tiberius is sent out in the same way Vader was. Vader faces Roobarb... I might be slightly biased here (Roobarb's one of my favourite robots) but I think it'll win here, it's obviously going to take damage from the disc but Vader can't self-right and Roobarb's flipper is arguably better than M2's for just tipping a robot over... Although to be honest it makes very little difference in the end, I can't see either of them beating M2 in the heat final. Combatwombat555 (talk) 23:21, December 10, 2014 (UTC)

Bigger Brother, Extreme 2 Allstars
I heard someone say that if Bigger Brother had had more CO2 it could've beaten Firestorm 4. What if it had? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 21:13, December 11, 2014 (UTC)
 * Hmm, not sure it would. Firestorm's ground clearance was exceptional; Bigger Brother's was pretty good, but it still needs to get around the side or back to do that, whereas Firestorm can just sweep underneath and throw it over again. If Bigger Brother does manage to outflip Firestorm and probably take it on the judges' decision, it's against Razer, which happened, and I can't see it changing. Combatwombat555 (talk) 21:16, December 11, 2014 (UTC)

Trouble N Strife in series 5
What if they had shockingly knocked out Wild Thing in the first round? Now that would have been interesting. My prediction is that they would've easily beaten Napalm but lost to Prizephita. Prizephita would've then lost to Chaos 2 and then again in the losers' melee to S3 alongside Spawn Again. Not sure about series 6 seeding. Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 21:22, December 11, 2014 (UTC)

Griffon
What if the judges hadn't been arrogant about Griffon and given the poor robot a seeding and left either Mortis or Killertron unseeded instead? It was unseeded even though it reached the top 6 in the First Wars. Let me know what you think below. Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 19:16, December 20, 2014 (UTC)
 * This is a difficult one because I'm not sure the seeding really meant an awful lot in the Second War, I guess all it would mean is that you wouldn't come up against another seed until the semi-final at the earliest. However, that doesn't answer your question, so for argument's sake I'll suggest that Killertron goes unseeded, Cassius and Chaos move up, and Griffon takes the sixth seed. That puts Cassius in Killertron's heat (Heat E), Chaos in Cassius' (Heat H), and Griffon slots into Heat B, with Killertron taking Griffon's place in Heat C.
 * Heat B: If we take the same Gauntlet performance as each robot actually managed, then unfortunately Griffon falls at the first hurdle: travelling only 3.4m leaves it bottom of the leaderboard, so Death Trak survives. For the Tug of War, I'm going to suggest Death Trak lasts longer than Tantrum and Wheelosaurus, it looked to have chunky tyres so fairly good grip and traction, maybe lasting 20 seconds or so. This would mean that Mace fights Wheelosaurus and wins- the flail should do damage to the pram wheels and I can't really see Wheelosaurus doing anything in reply- and Leighviathan fights Death Trak, with Leighviathan taking it after repeatedly wedging underneath. Mace wins the heat final in the repeat.
 * Heat C: The now-unseeded Killertron's 10.3m is more than enough to see it through the Gauntlet, taking fourth place and eliminating Challenger. Killertron had a high ground clearance which would count against it in the Joust, but I still think it could outscore Rameses II, it's faster and would cover the distance quicker. First fights fourth, so Mortis fights Killertron, and Killertron's plastic lid won't stand up to Mortis' axe in a fight that would deserve to be far later in the series. The rest of the fights are repeats, and Mortis takes the heat.
 * Heat E: I can see no threat to Cassius in this heat. It completed the Gauntlet, so is easily through and eliminates Pain. The one potential danger may be in an over-willingness to attack the House Robots in the King of the Castle, but I would argue that Cassius could throw at least one of Shunt and Matilda over and ultimately survive, topping the leaderboard. Cassius fights ORAC and easily wins (look at the ground clearance!) before tipping over Technophobic in the heat final.
 * Heat H: Chaos managed to complete the Gauntlet so tops the leaderboard in Cassius' place. It isn't as good for ball control as Loco, but still scores a goal to come second, again in Cassius' place. Chaos fights Wizard, a fairly easy victory through shoving and jabbing, before doing the same to Loco (possibly exploiting the large ground clearance) in the heat final.
 * Semi-Final 1: The only real differences in the semi-final line-ups are that Cassius swaps semis, taking Killertron's place whilst Chaos moves into the second semi-final in Cassius' spot. Cassius, shockingly, only made 5.15m in its run, lower than all others on the leaderboard. This is where I'm going to have to ask for other opinions: because of the differences in layout of the Gauntlet between the semi-finals, and because the distances covered in the real Semi-Final 2 were far shorter than in Semi-Final 1 (all in the second semi but King Buxton achieved less than Mace's 6.9m), do I eliminate Cassius, or assume it should have gone further than it actually did and put it through? Combatwombat555 (talk) 00:35, December 23, 2014 (UTC)

Ewe 2 beats Tetanus Booster
What if Ewe 2, and not Tetanus Booster, had been declared the winner of that round 2 battle in Heat E? Some say it was quite a controversial decision.

Well, it faces Tornado in the heat final. If we assume that Tornado wins, then nothing else changes. If by some miracle it manages to beat Tornado (probably with its flipper, not entirely impossible), it goes through to face Raging Knightmare in the semis. These two fought in the annihilator, and Raging Knightmare went through because it was a more competent self-righter, but then RK was flipped over by Ewe 2 as well, but I'm going to assume RK goes through where it faces Gravity. Here, Gravity chucks the knight out, plain and simple. In the final, Gravity is beaten by Storm 2, but in the play off, they flip over X-Terminator like a pancake, and the bronze medal is for the Dutchmen's taking.

But I think it's more likely Tornado would beat Ewe 2, so nothing really changes in that case. Anyone agree/disagree? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 22:31, January 8, 2015 (UTC)

Top 4 places get the top 4 seeds
As we all know, Series 6 was the only series where the top four seeds were awarded to the actual top four finishers, respectively, from the year before. I know that's bugged quite a few people, so here's my thought; whilst Series 2 would be impractical, and Series 7 lacked two of them anyway, how would Series 4 and 5 fared if the top four seeds were actually the first, second, third and fourth placers from previously, instead of what we actually got?

For the sake of argument, lets assume that the Series 4 seeds would have gone like this. And then the rest of the robots were as normal.
 * 1) Chaos 2
 * 2) Hypno-Disc
 * 3) Firestorm 2
 * 4) Steg 2
 * 5) Razer
 * 6) Panic Attack
 * 7) Behemoth

Alternatively, for Series 5, if the seeds had been... And then the rest were as normal.
 * 1) Chaos 2
 * 2) Pussycat
 * 3) Stinger
 * 4) Hypno-Disc
 * 5) Razer

In both instances, how would the heats have gone had these been the given ranks? What would have changed? CrashBash (talk) 23:12, January 22, 2015 (UTC)

In Series 4, Behemoth (it beat Mortis before and it could beat it again) and either Razer or The Morgue (depending on Razer's reliability) would reach the Semis, Firestorm 2 would go out in the Heats (Sorry Team Firestorm but your robot was not that good in Series 4 and Pussycat was at the top of its game at the time), Steg 2 still makes the Semis, Panic Attack not sure but probably still makes the Semis as it would end up fighting X-Terminator again (Sorry X-Terminator).

In Series 5, Stinger still out in the Heats, regardless of whether it fights Bulldog Breed 3 or Atomic 2 but the other four still make the Semis (sorry S3).--Nononsensecapeesh (talk) 15:04, February 2, 2015 (UTC)
 * So Stinger you reckon wasn't as good as in series 4? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 16:14, February 2, 2015 (UTC)
 * I just thought Bulldog Breed and Atomic would be harder for Stinger to beat in Series 5. That is not to say I don't think it would have stood any chance whatsoever.--Nononsensecapeesh (talk) 16:46, February 2, 2015 (UTC)

Wild Thing in Extreme II
Let's assume that Wild Thing made one last appearance in the Extreme II all stars tournament and Chaos 2 never competed. How would the Adams Family have fared against Razer and 13 Black? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 14:34, February 2, 2015 (UTC)

No change, Razer and 13 Black still go through.--Nononsensecapeesh (talk) 15:06, February 2, 2015 (UTC)

Grim Reaper eliminates Big Brother
What would've happened in round 2 of Heat D of series 3 if Grim Reaper had been given the win over Big Brother, putting them through to face Sir Chromalot?

In said battle, Big Brother appeared to stop moving towards the end of the battle, but was given the win nevertheless. Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 14:05, February 5, 2015 (UTC)

Ultor probably would have won the heat and went on to lose to Mace. Badnik96 (talk) 23:29, February 5, 2015 (UTC)

But who would've faced Ultor in the final - Grim Reaper or Sir Chromalot, and why? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 23:32, February 5, 2015 (UTC)
 * Sir Chromalot was the best built machine in the heat. It will push Grim Reaper and Ultor for the wins on judges' decisions but get flipped by Mace in the semi's. R A 2 ; aka Resetti's Replicas.  ( My Talk ) 17:19, February 8, 2015 (UTC)

Lightning's flat tyre

Sumpthing being more reliable
What if Sumpthing didn't break down in its battles against Mousetrap in series 4 or Dominator 2 in series 6? I think in the fourth series it would possibly beat Mousetrap, they weren't on top form in the battle, as long as it doesn't get stuck on its axe. In the heat final, against Little Fly, they lose, and Little Fly loses to Stinger.

In series 6, if it beats Dominator 2, then S.M.I.D.S.Y. faces and beats Sumpthing, and Hydra beats Comengetorix, and then SMIDSY beats Hydra, (the 'SMIDSY beats Dominator 2' section should explain what happens next). D2 went through due to Sumpthing losing drive in one wheel even though it was on its side. Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 11:46, February 9, 2015 (UTC)

PulverizeR in the European Championships
If PulverizeR didn't drive into the pit, what do you reckon would have happened in their battle against Razer? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 21:38, April 13, 2015 (UTC)
 * PulverizeR by that stage had apparently already lost its transmitter which was why it was driving erratically, so with control problems, plus the damage that had been sustained to the armour, I don't think PulverizeR would have been able to deal Razer enough damage to either immobilise it or take a judges' decision. If by some miracle it did, it's not getting past Tornado. Combatwombat555 (talk) 10:56, June 10, 2015 (UTC)

Gravedigger flips Steg-O-Saw-Us
If Gravedigger had successfully flipped over Steg in that semi final battle, and went to Bodmin to take on the Beast, how would it have gone down? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 22:49, June 19, 2015 (UTC) I think that the battle would of been quite tedious at first due to the ground clearance of Beast of Bodmin but if Gravedigger manages to flip Beast of Bodmin,they would go through to the Grand Final. Scenario 1: Hypno-disc could get flipped over by Gravedigger resulting in Hypno-disc having to fight Firestorm in the Playoff. However I don't think Gravedigger would win against Chaos 2 I believe Chaos 2 had the more powerful flipper and would of won. Scenario 2: Hypno-disc uses its blade to bash and cut holes into Gravedigger and the battle between Chaos 2 and Hypno-disc would be the same. Playoff on the other hand I would say Firestorm would win because of control and aggression. Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 13:18, June 22, 2015 (UTC)
 * If Beast of Bodmin is in working condition, they'd beat Gravedigger. If it suffers a breakdown like against Steg, then Gravedigger would lose to Hypno-Disc instead. Toast  Ultimatum  12:41, June 23, 2015 (UTC)

Killertron competed in Series 3
I was curious to know what would of happened if Killertron entered series 3. Would Killertron do well i.e. get to the Semis or even the Grand Final, or would it be eliminated in the heats. Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 13:18, June 22, 2015 (UTC)
 * That's a difficult one to answer properly because we don't know which heat it would have been in. However, looking at the winner or best couple of robots of each heat, we can get a rough idea of how well it would fare:
 * A: Without a srimech, Killertron is likely to be in trouble against Mace 2- it might start well, doing quite a bit of damage, but I think it's getting flipped over before the end.
 * B: Killertron should be able to beat Pitbull, mainly because it's too large to fit in the jaws, but Behemoth would probably achieve vengeance with a better scoop and again should flip it.
 * C: Blade might be a difficult prospect, with the good pushing power and strong armour- it withstood an axe blow from Shunt, so Killertron shouldn't penetrate it.
 * D: Nothing really in this heat to trouble Killertron, Big Brother only has a wedge and I don't think could topple it, and Ultor's axe isn't on the same level.
 * E: Chaos 2 and The Big Cheese are a class above, both would defeat Killertron with relative ease.
 * F: Killertron against Mortis would be a great battle to watch, the best axes of Series 1 against each other, but Killertron's wheelie bin lid would let it down. Gravedigger would also likely come out on top; again, no srimech for Killertron.
 * G: Steg-O-Saw-Us has great pushing power but no real weapons, Killertron could go to town on the top and probably win on damage.
 * H: Hypno-Disc against a plastic wheelie bin lid.
 * I: Seeing as Roadblock beat Killertron in both prior series, Beast of Bodmin should do likewise.
 * J: 101 and King Buxton could both push Killertron around easily and win on aggression (or a pitting, if they met before the final).
 * K: Killertron has met Panic Attack before and lost, X-Terminator would be an interesting fight that I actually don't know which way it would go...
 * L: Evil Weevil would be another interesting fight: if the axe can hit low enough, Evil Weevil is in trouble, but I'm not convinced it can, and once again Killertron has no srimech...
 * M: Cassius 2 would definitely beat Killertron, Pussycat is a difficult shape to strike and the blade could leave scars in the plastic, but Spawn of Scutter is beatable with a vulnerable top.
 * N: No very potent weapons in this heat; Thing 2 might possibly be able to wedge underneath and topple it, but besides that there's not much danger for Killertron here.
 * O: Possibly the worst heat for Killertron with 3 good flipping/lifting weapons.
 * P: The only real competition here is Trident, and Killertron's axe is probably better than Trident's.
 * So it looks like Killertron would only likely make it through heats D, G, N or P, possibly making it through L with a bit of luck. Out of those, none of the resulting semi final matches look particular hopeful, so Killertron's war ends there at the latest. Combatwombat555 (talk) 15:18, June 22, 2015 (UTC)

Gemini in the All Stars
In their battle with Razer, Razer was over the floor flipper while it was activated (although this was not shown on the broadcast episode). Razer had had its drive damaged meaning it could only turn in circles, and the hydraulic fluid bag burst meaning it was functionally immobilized. What if Razer had been (controversially) eliminated for this, and Gemini went through to the next round? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 12:32, June 23, 2015 (UTC)

Hard to say what would happen if Gemini won. My prediction is that Behemoth would easily win because of its size and pushing power but if Gemini won that battle then it would certainly lose to Firestorm or Tornado, both these robots are far Superior in reliability, speed and power.

And how would the rest of the competition have played out? Would Behemoth, if it had won, have beaten Firestorm or not? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 14:56, June 23, 2015 (UTC)

Firestorm could get behind Behemoth, flip it about and potentially pit it or flip Behemoth out of the arena (That's unlikely though). Firestorm would face Tornado, who may not have its wedge at this time, Tornado could push firestorm around if it had the chance and simply shove Firestorm into a CPZ or the pit. It could even go to a judges decision as Firestorm would be able to flip Tornado a few times but overall I believe Tornado would most likely win.

If Behemoth won it's battle against Firestorm by shunting and lifting then it could have a even chance against Tornado, however Tornado has more pushing power meaning it could push Behemoth around if it had the chance, then again Behemoth's weight could be an advantage for Behemoth and Behemoth ,just like Tornado, has great pushing power with the added effectiveness of being able to lift Tornado. Behemoth vs Tornado could go ether way and would likely be a judges decision. Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 08:00, June 24, 2015 (UTC)
 * Firestorm would definitely beat Behemoth; both have a gaping ground clearance anywhere but the front, but Firestorm is a lot more nimble and could exploit it a lot easier, there's a reason Firestorm was only ever flipped over 4 times in its life (3 of those times it self-righted, and the other time it went out of the arena, so even throwing it over wouldn't exactly be a winning move). Behemoth's srimech was also a little dodgy, it'd self-right but only eventually, something Firestorm could take advantage of. Firestorm against Tornado; Tornado doesn't have its wedge, it didn't have interchangeable weapons in Extreme 1, and as seen in Series 6 Firestorm could get underneath the sides of Tornado easily. Without the wedge on the front, Tornado is just going to get flipped over and over, and will likely lose the resulting judges' decision as a result.
 * If Behemoth did manage to beat Firestorm (very unlikely), Tornado would beat it, it dominated the fight when they met in the Challenge Belt. Combatwombat555 (talk) 08:55, June 24, 2015 (UTC)

Allstars series 7
I wonder what would happen if S.M.I.D.S.Y, Atomic, Bulldog Breed, X-Terminator and proberbly others managed to get into the allstars of Series 7 would the outcome be different? Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 14:46, June 24, 2015 (UTC)

Zeus in the World Championship
Rawbot automatically qualified for the Third World Championship because Zeus suffered a breakdown before the start of the battle. What if the battle had gone ahead? How would the Italians have fared? Well, I think that if Zeus beat Rawbot, then it would get beaten easily by Tough As Nails the following round. I just don't think it would stand a chance against the Dutch supremoes.

Anarchy takes the decision
Anarchy was maybe a little unlucky to lose its heat final judges' decision to Tornado, getting in some good flips- how would the rest of Series 6 (and by extension the Seventh Wars) have gone if Anarchy had been given the win? Combatwombat555 (talk) 21:36, July 7, 2015 (UTC)

Unlikely to go past Hypno-disc as it would be torn apart. In the losers' melee I have a sense that it would be flipped around or even chucked out but then again seeing as Spawn Again was not hugely active in the real losers' melee it could have a chance against Bigger Brother however that's unlikely. Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 12:00, August 2, 2015 (UTC)


 * If Hypno-Disc beats Anarchy: Bigger Brother wins the losers melee and then loses to Terrorhurtz. Given how rubbish H-D were in this series, I'd say Dominator 2 beats them. In the final Razer beats Terrorhurtz and Firestorm beats Dominator 2, before Dominator 2 beats Terrorhurtz and Razer beats Firestorm to clinch the title.
 * If Anarchy beats H-D: Losers' melee plays out as it did. Bigger Brother makes the final and Anarchy is narrowly beaten by Dominator 2. Final plays out like how I described it in the other timeline. Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 12:20, August 2, 2015 (UTC)


 * Personally I'd have to back Anarchy over Hypno-Disc: that's some really thick plastic at the sides, which I doubt Hypno-Disc could get through, at least not without taking massive hits itself, and Hypno-Disc wasn't the most reliable at that stage... If Hypno-Disc approaches from the flipper end, it'll just get thrown away, and from the axe end there's the scoop to deflect it away, plus that vicious axe of doom that might 'do a Shunt'. Anarchy faces Dominator 2, and I think Dominator's had it, the axe shaft is likely to just strike the chassis before the axe and do very little if any damage, whereas Anarchy can flipper Dominator around and win on aggression. It'd face Firestorm in the final, if we take the same battles as real-life, and then Anarchy's out; Firestorm's a little low to get struck by the axe effectively and the flipper won't get underneath, and it can get underneath Anarchy fairly easily, maybe tipping it over. Razer beats Firestorm once again to win overall, and Anarchy takes on Terrorhurtz- again, Terrorhurtz can't get the axe into play effectively, merely striking the chassis with the shaft, and Anarchy's axe can go through the polycarbonate easily, giving Anarchy third.

Hypno-Disc was starting to decline by the Series 6 Semis and given the size and strength of Anarchy (This is no Black Widow we're talking about), I think Team 101 will finally get their revenge and also get their revenge on Dominator 2 as they have a larger robot with actual offensive at their disposal this time. In the Grand Final, Anarchy is against Firestorm and unfortunately even the extra weight of being a walker can't save Team 101 here as this is the same Firestorm that would go on to flip Mr Psycho of all robots! In the Play-off, Anarchy fights Terrorhurtz and with Team Hurtz' machine walking wounded after fighting Razer and not immune to being shoved anyway, Anarchy just shoves Terrorhurtz into the pit using either the scoop or the flipper.--Nononsensecapeesh (talk) 20:21, August 5, 2015 (UTC)

Soda Stream bottles allowed in series 6
Due to a rule change in the Sixth Wars disallowing the use of SodaStream bottles, Gemini were not able to take part. What if this rule had not been implemented and Gemini participated in this series? We wouldn't know what heat it would be in, but would it be likely to win any of the heats? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 22:58, August 13, 2015 (UTC)

Robogeddon beats Hypno-Disc
In the unedited battle, not broadcast on television, Robogeddon shoved Hypno-Disc against the wall and H-D became stuck in reverse drive. What if the rest was NOT history, and Robogeddon went through? Vampireweekend4ever (talk) 22:12, October 16, 2015 (UTC)

Terrorhurtz
What if Terrorhurtz was more reliable? 37.228.202.244 22:51, December 26, 2015 (UTC)
 * Nothing. It lost in S5 because it was ripped apart. It was beaten in S6 by being out-driven twice. It was beaten in Extreme 2 by being out controlled by wedges and flippers. J  im laa  d4   3 (talk) 23:33, December 26, 2015 (UTC)
 * Actually, it lost to Firestorm via breakdown after damaging them enough that they only had forwards and backwards motion. In series 7, it would've beaten Ripper, and Mute but lost out to Storm II, who had previously beaten Firestorm. RelicRaider (talk) 15:03, January 3, 2016 (UTC)

Suicidal Tendencies, 5th Wars
What would have happened against Destructabubble if ST had not had to pull out and Rick stayed out of the competition, do you reckon? 37.228.202.244 00:52, January 3, 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, I'm not entirely sure how Suicidal Tendencies would beat Destruct-A-Bubble, but there's no doubt in my mind that it would, what could Destruct-A-Bubble possibly do? In the battle of the crushers in the heat final, Razer's a far more nimble machine and has a superior wedge, Razer takes it. Combatwombat555 (talk) 22:33, January 23, 2016 (UTC)

Victor 2
What if their flail had persisted and done damage to Trident? Or what if they were simply careful enough not to fall into the pit? I still can't quite believe Trident won their heat. 37.228.202.244 22:22, January 23, 2016 (UTC)
 * Honestly, Trident is probably the best machine of that heat, it was an incredibly weak one. However, if Victor 2 had kept going and taken the win, it'd be likely to beat the sluggish/chronically unreliable Dreadnaut. And then it'd be against Chaos 2...

Blades of Destruction
This robot seemed pretty damn impressive. What if they had successfully immobilised Robochicken in Heat M? 37.228.202.244 17:41, January 26, 2016 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's just too far-fetched. Pretty damn impressive? You must have been watching a different battle: it had a thin plastic shell that Disc-O-Inferno tore chunks off of on a single attack, the blade looked very spindly with little reach and span really quite slowly, doing no damage to Robochicken on impact, and both the blade and the robot itself seemed to keep stopping. Honestly, there's no possible way it could have immobilised Robochicken. Combatwombat555 (talk) 17:55, January 26, 2016 (UTC)
 * Even if it did go through to the heat-semi, there is no way it could defeat Panic Attack or Mega Morg. Tough As Nails will still take the heat. SpaceManiac888 (talk) 18:22, January 26, 2016 (UTC)

Disc-O-Inferno and Ming Die Nasty swap heats
How would DOI have done in Heat I as the 15th seed, and Ming as an unseeded machine in Heat M? I've read that that Disco was apparently going to be getting the replacement 15th seeding in place of Dominator 2, before it was given to Ming. 37.228.202.244 18:44, January 26, 2016 (UTC)
 * Ming would've fell in the heat, wherever or not it would of been in Round 2 or Round 1 depends on when Tough As Nails pits Robochicken. As for DOI, it would've won the heat, however up against superior opposition (X-Terminator), it would have lost but not before putting up a good fight. --WolfwingandSlaveLeia (talk) 18:56, January 26, 2016 (UTC)
