If this were the Series 8 PP3D, I would be confident enough to vote for it, based on its performance against Eruption. However, PP3D's reliability got worse in Series 9, and Series 8 Eruption did tank some blows. If Toxic 2 has around the same toughness and reliability as Series 8 reliability, maybe it will survive long enough to shock PP3D enough for the latter to break down? It's possible, I suppose!

+ | #Given that Toxic 2 is another of the live event crowd that (at the time) never face spinners, I'm not convinced it's particularly well-armoured - according to the FRA website it's 3.2mm HARDOX, so a touch thinner than Eruption's armour without the additional panels added. Add in the flat sides, and Toxic 2 really doesn't strike me as resilient to high-powered spinners. PP3D's reliability was worse in Series 9, but the disc also had more power - I back it to cause terminal damage to Toxic 2 before it conks out itself.

PP3D to get the required damage done first, and ride on those coat tails for the rest of the fight.

+ | #Fully expecting to be alone in this, but I'll throw PP3D a bone. Yes, PP3D is unreliable - but it should be noted that Aftershock lasted one single hit from Carbide - well, okay, one big one which seemed to make the drives unhappy, and then it got clipped twice more and stopped. If Aftershock delivers a hit to anything but the disc, it wins, but given that PP3D's disc covers the front of the robot, provided Gary Cairns doesn't deliberately turn PP3D's back on its opponent Aftershock has to take a hit first to deliver one - and I'm just not convinced it can. PP3D is a timebomb, but I do think it can finish Aftershock before it detonates. [[User:Combatwombat555|Combatwombat555]] ([[User talk:Combatwombat555|talk]]) 21:04, 27 July 2021 (UTC) |

PP3D isn't going to get the wheels hit, there'll be one weapon-to-weapon impact and somebody will die. PP3D is unreliable of course, but Aftershock went down so, so easily to Carbide. Just one glancing hit, not even a particularly strong one. A hit from Aftershock will mainly just hit the weapon of PP3D, it ''could'' survive, but a PP3D hit to Aftershock will hit something major and I think it's going to come off worse. <span style="font-family:Pirulen; font-size:10pt">[[User:ToastUltimatum|<font color="maroon">'''T'''</font><font color="ff8c00">'''OAS'''</font>]][[User talk:ToastUltimatum|<font color="maroon">'''T'''</font>]]</span> 21:57, 28 July 2021 (UTC) |

Latest revision as of 19:21, 29 July 2021
This is Robot Wars! Last time, we saw Terrorhurtz book its place in the Grand Final alongside Eruption, both looking to take home the title of Robot Wars grand champion. The winner of tonight's heat will also be one step closer to glory, but back in the pits, there's something even greater at stake. For years, the most effective weapon in the arena has been the flipper, but time and time again, deadly spinning weapons have been nibbling at their toes. Tonight, three flippers and three spinners are looking to settle the argument as to which weapon is superior once and for all! Who will reign triumphant? Will any of our wildcard weapons - the axe and crusher - get in the way? And most importantly of all, who will book their place in the Grand Final? Let battle commence!
