User blog:BizarroKing/Series 5 Redux-Heat I

The 2nd half of the 5th war heats is about to begin. Who can we expect to see advance? A seeded vetran? A seasoned competitor? A newcomer? Let's find out! LET THE WARS BEGIN!

Gemini (16) vs Derek! vs Big Nipper
House Robots: Sir Killalot and Dead Metal

Gemini splits itself up as the battle begins and both separate robots go after both opponents. Big Nipper grabs one of them and slams it into the wall, then goes after Derek who tries and fails to flip the other half of Gemini. Big Nipper grabs a hold if Derek and begins squeezing it while one half of Gemini activates the pit. Derek breaks free and attempts to flip one of the twins and succeeds in getting it stuck onto the anti-wheelie bar. Derek then gets gripped by Big Nipper again, who pushes it near the pit trying to dunk it in only for Derek to push back. The other half of Gemini tips it's other half back over and they help Big Nipper out and push against Derek, helping Big Nipper to shove it into the pit.

Eliminated: Derek!

Plunderbird 5 (32) vs Arnold A. Terminegger vs Terrorhurtz
House Robots: Dead Metal and Matilda

The 32nd Seeds were the fastest of the 3 and starts to go after Arnold who attacks with the spike. Terrorhurtz fires it's axe and nails Plunderbird, then Arnold. Plunderbird tries to sink it's 'beak' into Arnold again, only to get nailed with the overhead spike once more, which leaves a noticeable hole in the armor. Terrorhurtz clashes with Arnold's spike while Plunderbird charges and rams Team EyeEye's bot into the wall and near Matilda. Once near Matilda's CPZ, Arnold escapes and the triceratops house robot nails Plunderbird with it's flywheel, causing a huge lash in the shell. Another hit with the flywheel hits Plunderbird so hard, it actually goes flying right OoTA!

"Well what do you know! Plunderbird's flying....Out of the arena!"

- Jonathon Pearce, on Plunderbird 5's exit

Eliminated: Plunderbird 5

Gemini (16) vs Arnold A. Terminegger
House Robots: Sgt Bash and Shunt

Arnold goes forward and tries to attack with the lifting arm while Gemini splits apart and go on opposite sides of Arnold trying to overturn it. One twin gets underneath and flips Arnold onto it's side. Arnond tries activating it's spiked arm but seems to be having some trouble as Gemini pushes it in Shunt's CPZ. Shunt hits one of Arnold's eyes with it's axe while the Terminegger is still unable to self ride, so Refbot counts it out while the other half of Gemini activates the pit release and the 1st half waits for Refbot to deem Arnold immobile. Once immobilized, Gemini pushes Arnold into the pit. Just before cease is called, the 2nd half of Gemini falls in as well.

Winner: Gemini

Terrorhurtz vs Big Nipper
House Robots: Sgt Bash and Shunt

Terrorhurtz, the faster of the two without a doubt, nails Big Nipper with the axe, not doing a ton of damage at first but stays persistent and continues to fire away and shoves Big Nipper against the angle grinder. The Nipper fights back by attempting to sink it's pincers into Terrorhurtz, getting a good grip and shoves it back aiming for Sgt Bash's CPZ but Terrorhurtz continues to axe away, delivering some dents in the armor. Big Nipper breaks it's grip and tries to grip Terrorhurtz again. Terrorhurtz delivers another axe blow and tries to shove Big Nipper into one of the CPZs but bumps into Refbot by accident. Nipper hits the pit release in hopes to do to Terrorhurtz what it did to Derek, but one more shot from Terrorhurtz axe and it seems to stop working all together, the damage being too much for it. Terrorhurtz moves it away from the wall and not even waiting for Refbot to count it out, slowly pushes Big Nipper into the pit.

Winner: Terrorhurtz

Gemini(16) vs Terrorhurtz
House Robots: Sir Killalot and Matilda

Upon “ACTIVATE!” Gemini splits itself apart and one half goes for the pit release right away while Terrorhurtz begins chopping away at the other half which tries to flip it. Once the pit is activated Gemini team up to try and shove Terrorhurtz in but the experienced bot dodges and fires it's axe again on the two. One twin accidentally flips it's other twin over and inadvertently causes it to get it stuck on the wheelie bar, leaving it unable to get back down. It tries to fix this but Terrorhurtz starts attacking it and distracting it while Refbot begins to count the other half out. Terrorhurtz leads the other half into Sir Killalot's CPZ and the house robot grabs it and twirls it around as Gemini is deemed immobilized and thus eliminated.

Heat Winner: Terrorhurtz

Team Hurtz finally made it to the series semi finals! Stay tuned to see who will join him next.
