User blog:ThatRedOtter/Reddit does Robot Wars: Extreme 1

So now everything was different. Dominator 2 was a champion now, defeating the champion which was there in real life and setting the course of robot wars history into a very different direction. So really the only possible thing to do was really pull my finger out and really make this my own, make this our own. So I decided to give it all a name. That name, was Reddit’s Robot Wars. Nice and simple. But I couldn’t do Series 5 yet, I had to get Extreme out the way. And at this point it was the perfect time to show how I was doing this now. 15 episodes (An episode will be uploaded here every 2 or 3 days) with my own spin on tournaments which will be explained when a tournament begins. But for now, let’s see how things got on, in Reddit’s Robot Wars Extreme!

EPISODE 1:
So Straight off in Episode 1, we have two new tournaments, one which functions very differently from before, and a completely new one, but is also one that pretty much everyone has thought of at least once. The first of these is the Redemption Championship: 8 robots that lost on the first round of Series 4 enter, one robot leaves, with their heads held high and the 24th seed for the upcoming Series 5. Think of it like New Blood in Extreme 2. The other is the Wild Card Warriors, wherein robots from the series 5 that didn’t do so well, will fight non-qualifiers. If the non-qualifier wins, they then get to take part in the upcoming series 5, in place of the robot they thought. So let’s have a quick example. Let’s say Haardervark defeats Behemoth by some miracle, then Behemoth would not be in Series 5, and Haardervark would be there instead. This is out Bot-substitutions are being done if you haven’t guessed by now. So with that all out the way. Let’s see what battles we had.

Wild Card Warriors: Dome VS Aggrobot 3 Not the best fight to start Extreme off with…

Redemption Championship: Supernova VS Fighting Torque Ouuuuch. RIP that kilt. For future reference, Fighting Torque is the robot that was in the mayhem. The robot that was also called Fighting Torque will be referred to as Hippobotamus.

All-Stars: Chaos 2 VS Gemini: If any producers of the old series are reading this right now, I’m sorry you never got this fight. I’m sorry for that too.

All-Stars: Dominator 2 VS Spawn Again: Y’know as much as I dislike Spawn Again, it sure deserved to be in the actual All-Stars tournament. Why wasn’t it?

Grudge Match (From Heat C final of the third wars) Wild Thing VS Panic Attack: Grudge matches were more about settling scores here from battles that had taken place in the past. Anyway nice to see a score settled. Think I’ll have another rematch in Extreme 2.

Tell me what you think after every episode! How would have you done things? Which battles would you vote differently? I always like to hear!
