Votes for Tricerabot 3.0
- This is a massive shock if Tricey wins. Chaos 2 struggled against pushers as the series went on, and it's not like Tricey is in trouble if it gets flipped over. Chaos 2 may be crashing out early. Jimlaad43(talk) 15:20, December 5, 2016 (UTC)
- WOAH! This is shocking but Chaos 2 may get a flip in here and there but will be rammed about.Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 15:40, December 5, 2016 (UTC)
- Yeah, I really cannot see Chaos 2 winning here, even with George Francis at the controls. Tricerabot 3.0 don't forget, was able to push and defeat house robots with relative ease, so if Chaos 2 overflips or misses, its opponent will punish it as a result. I think it will be a similar outcome to Chaos 2's battles with Tornado in Extreme, with it surviving, but not causing enough aggression of its own to win a Judges' decision.

- Ouch, this really hurts to choose between these 2 while we throw Crasha Gnasha/Armour Geddon through to roiund 2. Regardless, Tricerabot can win this simply because its more versatile and Chaos 2 did not like prolonged fights in the later wars. --Demon Of Tomorrow 17:10, December 5, 2016 (UTC)
- I'm seeing too many fallacious arguments to ignore - Tricerabot is a solid brick of a robot wrapped in cardboard. Its flipper does work when inverted, like Vlad 2 with the ramp one way up, and a flat sheet the other. Also, its gas bottle vented early into the match against Panzer, so you can't judge its effectiveness based on that. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 17:35, December 5, 2016 (UTC)
- I was describing Panzer's flipper, not Tricerabot's. Should have made that clearer. Raz3r(talk) 18:40, December 5, 2016 (UTC)
- In that case RA2, I take back what I said about Tricerabot's flipper. I wasn't aware that it could operate either way up until you mentioned it. VulcansHowl (talk) 19:12, December 5, 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry, George Francis, but I cannot trust Chaos 2 against such an aggressive, boisterous machine. As George said after losing to Dantomkia "the robots used to stop, so you could have another couple of flips, but now they don't stop". That's part of Chaos 2's problem here; yes, it was a wonderful flipper, but it has to roll Tricerabot over and over towards the arena wall, and even when Tricerabot is upside down, it'll comfortably be able to keep itself near the centre of the arena. As SpaceManiac said, it's like that Tornado battle in Extreme - it feels like a battle of aggression and speed overpowering Chaos 2 and Chaos 2 flips here and there won't be enough.

- Even if Tricerabot is inverted, the flipping tale works both ways up. Chaos 2 can try but Tricerabot's weight, speed and flipper weapon will outpower them. --Headbanger14/The Hardcore Kid 06:10, December 6, 2016 (UTC)

Votes for Chaos 2
- One of these robots has to lose whilst Crasha Gnasha or Armour Geddon get to go through. Such is the cruelty of Ragnabot. Anyway, I'd be willing to vote for Tricerabot, sure, but like pretty much all American robots, it had a chasm of a ground clearance. Chaos 2 can, and will, exploit that. And goodness knows what the judges will think in regards to all the paper falling off. Also, I feel it's fair to point out that Tricerabot usually lead battles with its spikes, rather than its flipper, if memory serves me correct. That leaves only a very small part of the machine where the ground clearance is low enough to give Chaos 2 trouble. CrashBash (talk) 15:42, December 5, 2016 (UTC)
- A while back, I was thinking to myself about the possibility of Chaos 2 fighting Tricerabot 3.0 at some point during this tournament, but I certainly did not expect it to happen so soon. It’ll be close, but one thing I would like to point out is that when it was fully decorated, Tricerabot 3.0. did not perform as well when it was flipped over by Shunt while fighting Rocky-Bot-Boa
and even without the fur, its own flipper would be rendered useless when inverted. Chaos 2 might as well take advantage of this by pushing and chucking Tricerabot 3.0 against the wall once it gets the dino on its back, before leaving it stranded there. VulcansHowl (talk) 17:07, December 5, 2016 (UTC)
- I'm just going to point out here that, despite my love for Dantomkia, I feel that Chaos 2 would have beaten Dantomkia if they hadn't flipped themselves over in Series 6. I cannot ignore Tricerabot's ground clearance despite its pushing power; people may say Panzer Mk 4 struggled but the size of its flipper didn't really help with that. I also don't see Tricerabot flipping Chaos 2 over, and Chaos 2 will actually be more aggressive, and seeing that the robot is half made of cardboard that could fall off or catch fire, I think Chaos 2 would win on damage too. Raz3r(talk) 17:17, December 5, 2016 (UTC)
- Oh, come on, why do these two have to fight each other now while those two S3 first rounders were available further up?! Sorry, but Tricerabot's ground clearance just leaves it far too vulnerable to being flipped, and its armour won't hold up too well either I would think. Hogwild94 (talk) 18:33, December 5, 2016 (UTC)
- My favourites list is taking a hammering - Pussycat and Ripper and Bulldog Breed and Steely already gone, watch Hypno Disc run into SMIDSY in round one next. But whilst my gut tells me Tricerabot, my brain reminds me Chaos 2 dispatched the similarly heavy and powerful Iron Awe in a few seconds and held its own with Tornado for a while in one of its Extreme rematches. I'll gladly go with my heart. Toon Ganondorf (t c) 21:31, December 5, 2016 (UTC)
- While Tricerabot is an aggressive machine, so was Alien Destructor. And I feel the experience and driving of George Francis could overpower a machine like Tricerabot. TKK3nta (talk) 00:59, December 6, 2016 (UTC)
- It's a very difficult decision, but looking at it Tricerabot is more like the Series 4 Tornado (albeit heavier) than an Extreme 1 Tornado. Chaos 2 was still a formidable opponent and, without a damaging weapon, Tricerabot will struggle to kill it off, and those spikes leave a massive ground-clearance to be exploited. I think Chaos 2 just about has this. Combatwombat555 (talk) 18:18, December 6, 2016 (UTC)
- Whichever side I vote for, I'll feel like I picked the wrong one - this is a battle that we simply cannot decide. We're factoring in a lot of unknowns, so I used the unknown to make a decision. Chaos 2 has at least had SOME experience fighting invertible rammers, including one win over Tornado as well as Alien Destructor, plus the non-rammers Pussycat, Stinger and Crushtacean. Tricerabot has never fought a flipper, ever. Their tactics for taking on a flipper won't be ready yet, and when your first opponent with a flipper is the double UK champion, it doesn't bode well.
