+ | #Got to disagree. Based on its only battle, Shockwave's spinner LOOKED impressive, but its only real damage was a couple of scratches at Sub-Version, which really is not enough to take out Cataclysmic Variabot. More importantly, however, Shockwave tended to use its spikes instead, which I actually feel would be a mistake using them against C.V., because the purple machine's axe can easily hit the large body of its opponent. Not to mention, Shockwave was quicker, but by no means the greatest in terms of control, so I believe the hits from Cataclysmic Variabot's axe will be enough to sway the Judges in the end.

#Shockwave and Aftershock in the same episode? Oh wait, not that Shockwave. Anyway, I had to put this battle in this episode, especially as I think this will be the first revisited battle that could be close to a judges' decision again. Shockwave had a decent spinner that looked potent enough. C.V. never did anything really impressive and I can see a few shreds on the side being enough to swing a decision in their favour.

Firstly, Aftershock is using the bar spinner, after discovering mobility issues while turning with the 30kg disc, also exposing less points to entangle. Even if an entanglement briefly took place, what happens when the solid flail falls out of the spinner? S3 vs Mousetrap says it starts back up again. Nuts 2 cannot KO Aftershock, while Aftershock can KO Nuts 2.

+ | #So I see that Nuts 2 is truly going down the Gabriel 2 route of 'pretend I'm underrated so that I could convince people to give me votes against virtually every machine. Nus 2's Series 10 was a dream story. It was great to see i work properly, and it provided variety and freshness. However, Nuts 2 also faced the ''exact'' set of opponents that it could beat. There's a good half of Series 10 that I could see Nuts 2 struggling with, and Aftershock is one of these. Aftershock is a virtually confined, and destructive machine. Its spin up is quick, its weapon is chunky, its damage potential is big, and very importantly: it cannot be beached by the minibots. I can't see Nuts 2 scoring a knockout, and again: if it doesn't score a KO, Nuts 2 as a machine isn't able to score aggression points. Sitting and spinning isn't an aggressive action, so the minibots will have to score points in that regard, which they probably won't because it's very hard to chase Aftershock around like Carbide - with the latter a much easier robot to beach. Aftershock to charge into Nuts 2 directly from the off, and the nutty boys will on the backfoot for the majority of the time from then on.

+ | #With either of its bar spinners installed, Aftershock has already circumvented the issue of Nuts 2's chains getting through the holes in its discs. Furthermore, given its gung-ho approach against Carbide, it is likely that it will charge straight into Nuts 2 before the flails have had the chance to spin up properly, thus ensuring that it can cause damage to the ring, wheels and chassis from the start. There is a strong possibility of Aftershock sustaining damage to its armour and weapon mount (the ends of the axle holding the bars/discs in place look particularly vulnerable), or having its weapon belt broken/dislodged, but providing that the whole machine is still left functioning after Nuts 2's initial blows, it will go nuts on the main robot and its minibots for sure.

#''"Lets be honest, Nuts is only going to win a battle if the opponents is severely limited in terms of movement." - Jimlaad43, Ragnabot 2 qualifers.''

Oh how wrong quite a lot of us were in Ragnabot 2 about some of the Series 8 robots *cough Eruption cough* xD. Anyway, back to this doozy of a battle. From the super-slow mo's we saw, Nuts 2 had the reach and speed of spinning that if your robot has something vulnerable at the correct height, it '''will''' hit it. Aftershock's vulnerability? The holes in the flywheel. Designed to increase the inertia of the flywheel, they are great in every battle expect this one, where the chain is going to spin through that hole. As it gets ripped around, the chain will smash into the top of Aftershock, being a much more effective entanglement device than any other ever used, as the force of it stopping the flywheel will be massive to the internals of Aftershock, which we've seen can be a bit suspect to hard hits. Nuts 2 might lose that chain, but the other one can swing in and hit Aftershock again as it likely implodes with the force of the hit. Nuts might become a bit imbalanced when it loses one chain, but against an immobilised Aftershock, that isn't an issue.

#There's a chance that Nuts 2 could strike Aftershock in just the right place to tear out Aftershock's drive belt, basically rendering Aftershock useless and vulnerable to Nuts' flails. There's also a chance that Aftershock could just negate that, charge in, tear Nuts apart and end it there. There's also a chance it could use its bar-spinner and extra armour, thus making it very difficult for Nuts to hit the weapon belt, but then there's a chance that Nuts could hit one of the wheels and immobilise it that way. Basically, a fight between these two means anything is possible. So why am I voting for Nuts? Because it finds a way.

Nuts 2 (or more likely, its minibots), can go to work from there. One thing is for sure: if Nuts 2 ends up in the Rumble, Carbide is doomed, I tell you.
