#YES, it happened! Anyhow, voting for The Cat, as I just fear that a good hit from its disc will take out Kadeena Machina's weaponbelt.

Forums: Index > Extreme Series 3 > Extreme Series 3 - Iron Maidens


This is Robot Wars Extreme, where the toughest robots in the world meet in a clash of ego and metal. It's hardly handbags at ten paces, that's for sure. But even the competitors today would scoff at that idea. Despite the rumours, Robot Wars is NOT just a man's sport. To prove it, the women are in charge, showing the big guys just how it's done. Its our Iron Maidens championship!

Round 1

Chompalot vs Coyote

Chompalot Coyote
Chompalot 2016
Coyote
Votes for Chompalot
  1. For being rather outdated by the time the new series came along, I have more faith in the defending champion here. Coyote's jaw really didn't look all that effective in what it did. CrashBash (talk) 04:32, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
  2. Coyote's crusher doesn't seem as effective as Chompalot, plus look at Chomppalot's claw then look at the side of Coyote? What do you see? That's right a wheel! A delicious wheel...Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 06:09, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
  3. Chompalot has the speed and driving skills of Debs Cook to get around the sides of Coyote and clamp down on one of the wheels. After this, it's only a matter of time before Coyote loses drive or is pushed into the pit/House Robots. VulcansHowl 08:49, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
  4. Tricky, because Coyote has the bigger range of attack and stronger armour, but Chompalot is better driven, faster and, I feel, more push. Raz3r(talk) 16:18, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
  5. Coyote is basically Chompalot lite; I'd say the original would have all the advantages. Hogwild94 (talk) 17:26, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
  6. Coyote has too many teething problems with its drive to last this battle. Not much will happen, but Chompalot will go through. Nweston8 (talk) 21:50, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
Votes for Coyote
  1. Although Coyote's crusher will not deal that much damage, I find it still to be a better crusher than Chompalot's, since it will be able to attack the sides and control the dragon. Plus, it can also use its lifter to topple over Chompalot, of which has an unreliable srimech. Regardless, Coyote to dominate in my opinion. SpaceManiac888 (Talk) 06:59, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
  2. Coyote has a larger zone of danger, which is lower and more effective at getting under Chompie than vice versa. Jimlaad43(talk) 07:16, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
Winner: Chompalot (6-2)

Chompalot blazes Coyote, who perhaps ought to stick to chasing Roadrunners

TMHWK vs Heavy Metal

TMHWK Heavy Metal
TMHWK
Heavy-metal
Votes for TMHWK
  1. Because of how big and vulnerable Heavy Metal's wheels are, I actually trust TMHWK to hit them a couple of times and break some of the rubber stoppers on each wheel. With no traction, Heavy Metal will be easily pushed around by TMHWK, and lose by either a Judges' decision or knockout. SpaceManiac888 (Talk) 06:59, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
  2. Not an easy decision, but I'll back TMHWK. With the usual drivers I'd back Heavy Metal, but it's a robot that depends entirely on good driving, and I doubt that in the hands of a novice it'll be as aggressive or well-controlled as in the hands of John Jr. TMHWK was reasonably competently driven in the half a minute or so before it died, it should get a good amount of axe blows in, and as the battle wears on more and more of the rubber stoppers will fly off and make Heavy Metal harder and harder to control, and TMHWK will start to dominate. Don't see a knock-out but an easy decision. Combatwombat555 (talk) 19:19, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
Votes for Heavy Metal
  1. I trust Heavy Metal to at least stay alive for a decent amount of time. CrashBash (talk) 04:32, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
  2. HM was decent in my opinion, certainly a better rambot if anything and it will ram TMHWK easily around.Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 06:10, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
  3. It's going to take an awful lot of hits to remove many rubber stoppers and lose HM grip. In that time, HM could have scored a pitting. Jimlaad43(talk) 07:17, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
  4. Heavy Metal's wedge should be reasonably effective at driving underneath TMHWK, whose dreadful reliability will make its higher top speed and more potent weapon count for nothing. VulcansHowl 08:49, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
  5. I trust Heavy Metal to get underneath TMHWK's sides and push them around, perhaps into the pit. Raz3r(talk) 16:21, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
  6. Heavy Metal is solid enough to go the distance and outpush its opponent. Hogwild94 (talk) 17:26, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
  7. Will be an interesting one, but Heavy Metal feels like it'll edge out a win eventually against TMHWK, which will probably breakdown. Nweston8 (talk) 21:50, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
  8. It just speaks volumes when I have NEVER seen an active live competitor survive for a full fight. TOAST 23:00, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
Winner: Heavy Metal (8-2)

TMHWK gets scalped, as Heavy Metal rocks on to the next round

The Cat vs Jellyfish

The Cat Jellyfish
Thecat
Jellyfish official
Votes for The Cat
  1. Fun fact: I originally had Ironside3 taking part, but I figured that it'd win too easily with little hassle, and it had already just won the Tag Team Terror, so I replaced it with The Cat, who had gotten enough votes to act as a substitute. This is bad news for Nuts' pretty little Galway Girl, though. CrashBash (talk) 04:32, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
  2. Who knew cats ate Jellfish? I didn't...Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 06:11, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
  3. Need to see The Cat face Kadeena Machina. It may still happen, with The Cat easily tearing apart Jellyfish. SpaceManiac888 (Talk) 06:59, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
  4. Shredded Jellyfish? Jimlaad43(talk) 07:18, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
  5. The remains of the Jelly will be sold in cans of cat food once this battle is over with. VulcansHowl 08:49, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
  6. Jellyfish won't be purring after this. Big damage expected. Raz3r(talk) 16:22, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
  7. About as big a massacre as you'd expect. Hogwild94 (talk) 17:27, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
  8. Unfortunate, but Jellyfish will be torn apart. Combatwombat555 (talk) 19:10, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
  9. Jellyfish departs. Nweston8 (talk) 21:50, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
  10. At least Jellyfish looks a bit like my birthday cake today! TOAST 23:00, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
Votes for Jellyfish
Winner: The Cat (10-0)

There's no sting left in Jellyfish, as The Cat prowls through to the next round

Ms Nightshade vs Kadeena Machina

Votes for Ms Nightshade Votes for Kadeena Machina
  1. Never have I been more sure. CrashBash (talk) 04:32, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
  2. Ms Nightshade makes me so angry, but hey it's never going to win a single battle here, atleast it can be taken apart in this battle, even if it's Ms Nightshade itself that tears itself apart.Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 06:13, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
  3. I will say this: providing the team can improve Ms Nightshade, it will be better than a similar design, Hammer & Tong, which I will be honest is not saying too much. A one-hit knockout to occur here. Plus, Diotoir, you seem to dislike robots that I think are cool, including Ms Nightshade, Overkill GTI and the original Tiberius. Those poor robots, what did they do to you? SpaceManiac888 (Talk) 06:59, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
    A twist of fate? :P Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk)
  4. Do we need to debate this? Jimlaad43(talk) 07:21, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
  5. Ms Nightshade; nowhere near as elegant or as deadly as its floral namesake. Kadeena to rip the petals off and throw it over. VulcansHowl 08:49, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
  6. Well, someone was getting that free pass. Ms Nightshade may well have been the worst competitor of the reboot (so far at least), but I don't hate it for that; its design is unique and it has a decent name. That won't stop Kadeena Machina from utterly destroying it though. Raz3r(talk) 16:24, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
  7. Ditto. Hogwild94 (talk) 17:28, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
  8. I'm expecting Ms Nightshade to flail around beautifully before Kadeena delivers an Apollo-style launch. Combatwombat555 (talk) 19:23, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
  9. Consider those petals well and truly plucked. TOAST 22:59, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
  10. Oh goodness. Nweston8 (talk) 21:50, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
Winner: Kadeena Machina (10-0)

A sickening performance from Ms Nightshade, as the round races on for Kadeena Machina

  1. It's very difficult to unsee Kadeena's battle against Dee here, especially given it seemed easy to break off Heavy Metal's wheels as is. CrashBash (talk) 04:26, June 21, 2017 (UTC)
  2. Wheels.Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 05:09, June 21, 2017 (UTC)

  4. Even if the wheels somehow do not break, the rubber stoppers will. SpaceManiac888 (Talk) 07:03, June 21, 2017 (UTC)
  5. At least one wheel to be removed. Combatwombat555 (talk) 13:46, June 21, 2017 (UTC)
  6. Team 13 will be having Concussion flashbacks before and once this battle begins. VulcansHowl 14:53, June 21, 2017 (UTC)
  7. One wheel on that wagon... No wheels on that wagon now! Raz3r(talk) 15:03, June 21, 2017 (UTC)

  10. A wheel will fall off at some point. Nweston8 (talk) 18:52, June 22, 2017 (UTC)
Winner: Kadeena Machina (10-0)

Kadeena Machina evidently prefers classical, as she races into the final

Votes for Chompalot Votes for The Cat
  1. Not sure how dangerous The Cat's blade will be to a legitimate competitor, but Chompalot always suffered against horizontal spinners. Or, alternatively, The Cat (and Kadeena) as stock robots will be forced to throw the round....but lets not think of that. CrashBash (talk) 04:26, June 21, 2017 (UTC)
  2. Y'know Chompalot may survive for a while, like it did in the group battle but because this is a head to head the outcome won't be so lucky...Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 05:13, June 21, 2017 (UTC)
  3. Cat vs Dragon comes out in favour of the cat's flywheel. Jimlaad43(talk) 06:28, June 21, 2017 (UTC)
  4. Chompalot blazes Coyote, who perhaps ought to stick to chasing Roadrunners. I had no idea that this Coyote chased Roadrunners (for those that do not get it, look at the official image of the robot in question). Anyhow, The Cat did have some control problems, but I fear that if Chompalot try to grab the BotS machine, it will suddenly lack the ability to crush. If that happens, The Cat can simply attack its opponent's sides for a knockout. At this rate, a dream match is going to occur in the final! SpaceManiac888 (Talk) 07:03, June 21, 2017 (UTC)
  5. Chompalot took a lot of damage from 13 Black, which The Cat's disc was heavier and faster than, and it didn't fair much better against Ironside3- can't see it surviving the whole battle here. Combatwombat555 (talk) 14:01, June 21, 2017 (UTC)
  6. You know, I'd consider Chompalot to be the one which starts stronger here, being able to capitalise on The Cat's manoeuvrability issues by pushing and trying to grab it from the sides and rear. However, there's no denying that its previous experiences with 13 Black, Ironside and Pulsar have proved it to be especially vulnerable against heavy spinners, and The Cat's disc is powerful enough, I reckon, to cause substantial damage to the sides and internals once it gets into position. VulcansHowl 14:53, June 21, 2017 (UTC)
  7. Chompalot could actually start off better with its superior control, but it'll take just one hit for the tide to turn in The Cat's favour. From there, they can tear off the armour easily while Chompalot is stunned. Raz3r(talk) 15:04, June 21, 2017 (UTC)
  8. The Cat is legit excellent. TOAST 02:45, June 22, 2017 (UTC)
  9. Ditto. Hogwild94 (talk) 17:32, June 22, 2017 (UTC)
  10. The Cat slashes its way through again. Nweston8 (talk) 18:52, June 22, 2017 (UTC)
Winner: The Cat (10-0)

The Cat gobbles up the dragon and goes through to the final

Votes for Draven Votes for Rapid
  1. This is probably the easiest Mayhem of the lot. I get the feeling Rapid will be treated a lot like Mortis was, but at the end of the day, it's a new-age robot facing off against two relics that simply haven't aged well. CrashBash (talk) 04:45, June 23, 2017 (UTC)
  2. There is nothing to grab on Rapid, which puts both of its opponents at a major disadvantage. I can see Rapid continually flipping its opponents, either to the point of two knockouts, or a commanding Judges' decision victory. SpaceManiac888 (Talk) 06:41, June 23, 2017 (UTC)
  3. Rapid will rapidly dispose of the others, taking gold as they beat the other two.--Jimlaad43(talk) 06:47, June 23, 2017 (UTC)
  4. Very, very easy draw for Rapid, I feel. Draven might be able to self-right, but its jaw will be very ineffective against Rapid's angled sides and wedge, while Crushtacean could easily be thrown out, stranded or immobilised after a succession of flips. VulcansHowl 09:15, June 23, 2017 (UTC)

  1. Welp, looks like everyone got their dream heat final. What swings it in favour of Kadeena for me? Cat's severe mobility issues, which will almost certainly hinder it. CrashBash (talk) 04:45, June 23, 2017 (UTC)
  2. I think you'll find, Jimlaad, that The Cat's wheels also got shredded by Arena Cleaner's blade, which I could easily see Kadeena Machina doing by avoiding the disc and attacking from the sides. Even with the gyroscopic forces at play, Kadeena's manoeuvrability was considerably better than The Cat's, and will play into its hands again here. VulcansHowl 09:15, June 23, 2017 (UTC)
Votes for The Cat
  1. YES, it happened! Anyhow, voting for The Cat, as I just fear that a good hit from its disc will take out Kadeena Machina's weaponbelt. Once that happens, The Cat is pretty much facing a defenceless robot. SpaceManiac888 (Talk) 06:41, June 23, 2017 (UTC)
  2. BotS was a race to take out your opponent's wheels. The Cat has protected wheels whereas KM's are very exposed, leading me to think they'll go first.--Jimlaad43(talk) 06:49, June 23, 2017 (UTC)
  3. Whilst I rate Kadeena as the better machine, I fear The Cat's larger attack range will be its saving grace. One hit could bend the weapon mechanism and stop it in its tracks. The wheels are exposed on both but I think Kadeena's are more exposed also. I think Kadeena will lose this unfortunately. RelicRaider (talk) 13:51, June 23, 2017 (UTC)
