#A battle that occurred back in the early days thanks to Wikia Series 8, and I think the outcome remains the same. Vertical spinners are potentially dangerous to Dantomkia, but unlike the awkward S3, Cedric Slammer's body is much easier to flip. With such a high ground clearance, Dantomkia should be able to overturn its foe, controlling this one from there. Cedric Slammer's srimech is questionable, and I think its trouble self-righting may enable Dantomkia to line up another out of the arena.

#Chip damage is the best Cedric could hope for. Just hope Dantonkia doesn't sustain critical damage in an OotA attempt like with IG-88. <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> 09:48, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

Forums: Index > International Series 6 > International Series 6 Heat W


After a Heat Final exit from Dutch Series 1, PulverizeR came back strongly, overcoming such machines as Twister, Scrap-2-Saur and Belgian champion Philipper 2 to take the Dutch Series 2 crown! Now, PulverizeR is looking to show that it has what it takes to become International champion too! Nonetheless, it does have another Dutch vertical spinner to contend with, Meshuggah, who showed promise by proving it had what it took to earn a wildcard spot for the Grand Final last time around. So, LET THE WARS BEGIN!

Round 1

PulverizeR (4) vs Flepser vs Dantomkia vs Short Circuit

  1. PulverizeR and Dantomkia. Yup, here's the new kid on the block at last! Alas, Dantomkia will probably be a bit cautious with the idea of tackling the dangerous seed, and thus will most likely deal with the most vulnerable here, Short Circuit. I think an out of the arena is not out of the question here. Meanwhile, PulverizeR will see Flepser's exposed wheels as heat magnets, thus targeting and destroying its fellow Dutch competitor. Therefore, I think the All-Stars will avoid each other this round, maintaining a truce... for now. SpaceManiac888 (Talk) 08:22, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
  2. Dantomkia and Flepser. Mike Lambert had a well-publicised strategy of taking out the spinner first, which he's mentioned on Robot Wars and outside of it. Even in his first RW fight, he's quite capable of taking out the fourth seed. Follow that up with the less prominent disc. TOAST 08:27, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
  3. Dantomkia and Flepser - Agree with Toast's logic here.Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 08:39, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
  4. Dantomkia and Flepser. I just can't see PulverizeR's flywheel surviving a few flips where it lands on the flywheel.,Short Circuit will start to collapse after a few flips too, and Flepser will begin to push PulverizeR once it sees it has been weakened by the yellow and black newcomers. Jimlaad43(talk) 09:03, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
  5. Dantomkia and PulverizeR - I can see Dantomkia attacking every machine here. It'd be an ask for it to go after PulverizeR the entire match. Dantomkia's flips aren't explosive and don't achieve much height, so I don't particularly see any terminal damage to PulverizeR landing on its own weapon, and I don't think it will get OotA'd either. Dantomkia will flip everybody around, and PulverizeR will go through too with clear points in the Damage category compared to the other machines in the melee. NJGW (talk) 14:32, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
  6. Dantomkia and PulverizeR - Dantomkia is safely through. I see PulverizeR surviving just as it gets a hit on one of the other two Dantomkia doesn't go for, before it goes for the one PulverizeR has just hit. Adster1005 17:36, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
  7. PulverizeR and Dantomkia. I understand where others are coming from re Dantomkia and spinners, but given PulerizeR's invertibility and reasonably good reliability, I can see it withstanding enough flips to buy it the time it needs to take down the opponents before Dantomkia gets it OotA or in the pit. Hogwild94 (talk) 17:43, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
  8. Dantomkia and PulverizeR PulverizeR shares a lot of similarities with S3 in terms of shape and weaponry, and Dantomkia will be wary of the potential damage it can dish out. I do think it’ll have a go at PulverizeR, and prove more successful than against S3 due to the Dutch champion’s more compact shape, but I don’t think any of the flips it does deal out will especially trouble PulverizeR when there are also two other robots in the war zone for Dantomkia to have a go at. Short Circuit will struggle against all of its opponents, while Flepser William definitely want to avoid PulverizeR for the entire fight. I don’t think it’ll be successful though, and eventually it’ll start taking damage from the spinner, and get flipped around a couple of time soon by Dantomkia as well.

  1. Cedric Slammer and Meshuggah. If I believed for a moment that the two spinners would collide, I would vote Hydrotec and Terror-Bull through, because I cannot see either spinner surviving each other's blow. However, I suspect Meshuggah's team, considering their machine's reliability issues in the past, would probably avoid Cedric Slammer, and likewise, I think Cedric Slammer would not be keen taking on a fellow powerful spinner just yet. Therefore, another truce here where Hydrotec's vulnerability to vertical spinners will cost it dearly. Meanwhile, Terror-Bull's armour is alright I suppose, but it has no real means of fighting back, thus likely suffering internally as the hits occur. The two vertical spinners maintain a truce... for now. SpaceManiac888 (Talk) 08:22, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
  2. Cedric Slammer and Meshuggah. Agree with the spinner truce. TOAST 08:31, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
  3. Cedric Slammer and Terror-Bull - Terror-Bull was pretty resilient in its battles and I think it will do well here, especially with the far better lifter than Hydrotec. As for the spinner, I have NO FAITH in Meshuggah as it constantly had reliability issues and its spinner never seemed too powerful (if it's even spinning!) while Cedric Slammer should easily kill Meshuggah in one hit if Terror-Bull hadn't have charged into it.Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 08:32, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
  4. Cedric Slammer and Meshuggah. The two spinners have some aluminium checker plate armoured opponents that will not like the powerful spinners they possess. Hydrotec and Terror-Bull will have side-panels removed in a few good hits from Cedric, leaving the inner workings too exposed to survive the rest of the fight. The bull will be spun around by Sir Killalot once it is torn apart, while Hydrotec is getting bullied into Sgt. Bash's CPZ for a burny cremation. Jimlaad43(talk) 09:05, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
  5. Cedric Slammer and Meshuggah - Yeah, these two will be the more dominant machines, and even if they do not KO both opponents, I cannot see Terror-Bull or Hydrotec sustaining enough dominance to override the clear Damage advantage. NJGW (talk) 14:34, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
  6. Cedric Slammer vs Meshuggah. Hmm, all the similar spinners in the same heat, getting flashbacks to Audited S4. But, yeah, the two spinners will be largely untroubled here. Hogwild94 (talk) 17:44, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
  7. Cedric Slammer and Meshuggah Agreed with the general consensus, the two spinners would probably not want to take chances against each other, and will instead focus on the two lifters instead, and cause enough damage to pull through ahead of them even without a KO. Raz3r(talk) 18:24, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
  8. Cedric Slammer and Meshuggah. After a think, I see Cedric and Meshuggah each taking on a non-spinner to KO and then go through on the account that they are the surviving two. Adster1005 17:19, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

  1. After surviving a scare in Round 1, I think PulverizeR can make it to the Heat Final. Both machines are powerful vertical spinners, but in terms of who is more likely to survive a blow, the seed easily has this. Meshuggah is just too unreliable for me to confidentially back it.
