Votes for Spikasaurus
- Oh, I must be brave to make this vote under Jimlaad's nose here! Indeed, I can already forsee the rage underneath my vote here. But anyhow, how do I explain my vote for Spikasaurus? Well, firstly, I cannot see this ending in an out of the arena, because Spikasaurus was agile and slippery, thus being likely to be thrown about but not out of the arena. However, what really makes me vote for Spikasaurus are two factors; firstly, speed, which the Series 4 machine easily outmatches Gravity in, enabling it to edge away from the flipper and attack Gravity's vulnerable sides. This leads me to point two: Gravity's armour is weak as heck, which will enable a penetration from Spikasaurus' spikes to occur. The two machines will become latched onto each other, enabling the Series 4 robot to push its opponent around with no resistence. Alternatively... them wheels look a little suspect, don't they? The tiny bit of polycarbonate will prevent this from becoming an official count update, but even so, Spikasaurus will penetrate the wheel guards with the spikes, puncturing the tyre. After that... what can Gravity do, aside from a lucky flip? Spikasaurus to use its intelligence, speed and agility after a tense start to exploit Gravity's weak armour and wheels, controlling the battle from there, and winning on a judges' decision.

Votes for Gravity (7)
- This is definitely going on the OotA list. Jimlaad43(talk) 08:33, October 6, 2019 (UTC)
- I think Spikasaurus could win this, I mean it's fast and could easily stab the wheel guards of Gravity easily,and survive a flip or two. But the thing is Gravity is very powerful and Spikasaurus being lighter in weight will result in lots of flips.Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 08:50, October 6, 2019 (UTC)
- Gravity has weak armour, but Spikasaurus' is just as brittle. Those roll bars got bent so easily, and a few Gravity flips will either leave it beached on its back or out of the arena. NJGW (talk) 09:31, October 6, 2019 (UTC)
- This fight hurts me so much 'cause Spikasaurus is such an underrated 'bot, but it has zero answer against Gravity who'll hurl it all over the arena, eventually finishing in a good ol' OotA. --TheyCallMeDoot (*doot doot*) 09:33, October 6, 2019 (UTC)
- On the contrary, votes like Space's prove just how overrated Spikasaurus is. Permanent impaling doesn't mean victory, as Kan-Opener has proved too often, and I'm sure the time it got permanently impaled in its heat it ended up losing that battle... Jimlaad43(talk) 09:40, October 6, 2019 (UTC)
- To call a spade a spade, your Kan-Opener argument makes no sense. The reason it lost the battle was because... there were two other machines present, damn it! Put it this way, if Kan-Opener was facing Barbaric Response in a one-on-one battle like this, it would win, no question about it. And if Spikasaurus and Gravity were in a melee and were latched onto each other throughout the battle, as long as the other two machines are still present, they will lose. But since this is not a melee situation, an impaling is a very good way to win this match. But again, I don't think you read my vote correctly... I actually mentioned that Spikasaurus could impale a wheel two, which will not mean that the two robots will be stuck together, but will instead result in Gravity struggling with mobility while Spikasaurus can dart about. In addition, I could say that Gravity is better, but situationally, Spikasaurus will win because Gravity cannot do much of meaning to it, a similar reason why you voted for General Chompsalot 2 over St. Agro back in A Fantasy Audited War 3! As for Spikasaurus being overrated... Maybe, although this is not my debate. My debate generally focuses on why Steg 2 is overrated. SpaceManiac888 (Talk) 10:01, October 6, 2019 (UTC)
- The tyres and polycarbonate could prove ideal targets, but I feel Spikasaurus's ground clearance and spears are going to make it even more vulnerable against the forerunner of modern UK flippers. Not so sure the rollbars are going to take many hard landings at this point. VulcansHowl 09:37, October 6, 2019 (UTC)
- OK, this is where I stand. I can see Spikasaurus managing to puncture Gravity's sides and wheels. I can even see it winning this fight. But for lack of a better description, for every ten fights these robots have, I can see Gravity winning seven of them. Spikasaurus still has a lot of its own vulnerabilities that Gravity can exploit just as vise-versa....slightly difficult to control, rollcage vulnerable to being buckled (especially if Gravity can get it into a House Robot) and a fairly high ground clearance. Those are just as big a problem as Gravity's thin armour and exposed wheels. CrashBash (talk) 12:32, October 6, 2019 (UTC)
- Well it's certainly not a close battle in my mind... TOAST 15:28, October 6, 2019 (UTC)
- If Gravity was slower, I'd probably give this to Spikasaurus, who could easily get around the sides and stab the tyres, leaving it pretty much a sitting duck for further attacks a la Tornado. Alas, as Gravity is also pretty quick and a lot more maneuverable, so I can only see it outdriving Spikasaurus for the win. Hogwild94 (talk) 18:04, October 6, 2019 (UTC)
- Gravity can beat Spikasaurus, and although Spikasaurus could spike the wheels, I think I have to use Behemoth-Apollo logic here, and 9 times out of 10, Gravity will win. Adster1005 (talk) 21:06, October 6, 2019 (UTC)
