#Ooof... I think Typhoon 2 just about has this. Blows from PP3D caused Eruption to lose drive, and whilst Typhoon 2's shell might not have the same weight or as much speed, it can still deal the hits and, as it's been said, it doesn't stop. Eruption has one chance to get a flip in at the start before it spins up, and Gary Cairns drove it exceptionally, it just won't close the distance in time. Next Ragnabot though, with a Series 9 Eruption, it could be very different. [[User:Combatwombat555|Combatwombat555]] ([[User talk:Combatwombat555|talk]]) 20:55, March 13, 2017 (UTC) |

#If I had a dollar every time Typhoon 2 should've lost by being flipped, I'd be able to buy my name onto PP3D's disc. Eruption should be able to do it, but so should Iron Awe, and Thermidor, and XTerminator, and Storm 2. Gah! I'm voting Typhoon 2. Typhoon 2 to being flipped is what napalm is to losing battles in round 1 - it should happen, but just doesn't somehow.

+ | #Had to think about this but I agree with all of the above, Typhoon is fast and will spin up to speed while avoiding Eruption. Eruption's only going to win this if Typhoon 2 stops spinning meaning it'll have to get in quick but by that point Typhoon would wiz past and avoid. Typhoon will hit hard ad decimate the weak Series 8 Eruption, had this been the more improved version I would argue otherwise.

#No. nonononononono. No. Typhoon 2 might have a full body spinner, but I bet ya 10 quid it isn't nearly as powerful as that of PP3D. Also a problem is the fact that Eruption has a flipper, which is more than capable of killing Typhoon and considering the overall prowess of the driver, I have great faith in Michael "Vertigo" Oates to get a killer flip on Typhoon 2 and take it out of the running. It might not be spinner killer yet, but I'm not so sure Typhoon 2 is able to cause catastrophic damage to knock out Eruption before t'other way around. I mean, Raging Reality managed it, so why shouldn't a more modern machine? --[[User: DemonOfTomorrow|<span style="color:red">Demon Of</span>]] [[User talk: DemonOfTomorrow|<span style="color:red">Tomorrow</span>]] 15:43, March 13, 2017 (UTC) |

#The key for this one for me is that Typhoon 2 is constantly on the retreat in order to not be toppled and to get up to speed, whereas PP3D came in with the hits on Eruption. As a result, Typhoon 2 will struggle to ever damage anything on Eruption other than causing minor damage to its flipper, because the front of Eruption is, on most occasions, what will make contact with Typhoon 2 whenever Eruption closes in on it. Also, the square shape of the new arena will probably haunt Typhoon 2. In the old, rectangular arena, Typhoon 2 could go on long vertical drives up or down the arena before changing its angle, whereas here, Gary Cairns will be required to carry out sharper turns more often without Typhoon 2 being able to build up speed (not the weapon, but the machine itself) to move away as fast. I see Eruption comfortably dealing with a couple of contacts, before stopping Typhoon 2's spin by resting it on its steep front and then chucking it over.

#I know that Eruption is one of my sweepstakes (if this causes any issues, feel free to say) so I'll try to make my case. I really think that Typhoon 2 will struggle against the flipper of Eruption. In fact, you could see this as far back as Extreme 2 where it got defeated relatively easily by Raging Reality. A lack of a srimech could mean this is all over in one flip. If it came down to hits then I think that Eruption could take the damage long enough to either flip Typhoon 2 over or hurl them out of the arena. This'll be a quick fight.

+ | #:Yes, but was Typhoon 2 spinning at the time Raging Reality flipped it? No. Kan-Opener had already punctured its shell, stopping its spinner and ultimately disrupting its rhythm. There's no Kan-Opener to do this here. Eruption would need to disrupt Typhoon's rhythm on its own accord. [[User:CrashBash|CrashBash]] ([[User talk:CrashBash|talk]]) 09:30, March 14, 2017 (UTC) |

+ | #An incredibly difficult fight, and whilst I'd probably be more for Typhoon 2 cruising into the top 4, I'd like to give it to eruption on the ground of a few things. PP3D's spinner, at least according to Gary Cairns is more powerful than Typhoon 2. In their first meeting, yes the disc took out eruption, in the second they didn't let it get up to speed. One flip is all it takes, and even if Typhoon does get a. Hit in, Eruption may be able to take one or two, and not to mention the lip on the flipper which was available last year, as its the live events flipper, will enable it to get underneath more easily.
