Votes for Panzer Mk 2
- In today's news, Global Warming still exists, Brexit has been delayed again, and Toast is still voting against Robochicken in fantasy tournaments. It's the same argument I've always used, but Robochicken is just as vulnerable to a one-flip-and-done as its fellow opponent, which always seems to be a flipper/lifter that cannot self-right. Funny thing is, apparently Panzer Mk 2 did have a srimech that simply broke in its fight, but I'll write that off under grounds of insufficient evidence. It's not like we're judging Drillzilla's "invertibility" here! While Robochicken could get the OHKO, I have more faith in the faster and better-driven Panzer Mk 2 to carry out that fate upon Robochicken. TOAST 12:31, November 4, 2019 (UTC)
- I'm siding with Panzer here too; Panzer seems just a bit too sturdy and heavy for Robochicken's flipper to be able to properly flip. I can see it missing its first flip, allowing Panzer to shoot in and turn it over itself. Hogwild94 (talk) 18:35, November 4, 2019 (UTC)
- Robochicken's narrow flipper-long sides combination will be exploited by Panzer which will go on a long drive and leave Robochicken awkwardly overturned either in a CPZ or against the side wall. NJGW (talk) 19:10, November 4, 2019 (UTC)
- I feel inclined to back Panzer here. Their 6WD should be enough to dominate Robochicken around the arena and the lifting scoop has sufficient power to overturn them too. While Panzer Mk 2 can't self right, neither can Robochicken with the head attachment. And I trust Panzer to get that fatal flip sooner than the chicken. SFCJack (talk) 20:04, November 4, 2019 (UTC)
- Allegedly, Panzer could self right, but Tornado broke their lifter. Panzer is faster and better driven. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 04:24, November 5, 2019 (UTC)

Votes for Robochicken
- This would be a great battle, Panzer should be decent at pushing the chicken if it gets on the side, but I think Panzer's know issues with flippers will be the problem. After all, Panzer was flipped over by Philipper, and I certainly rate and trust Robochicken more than Philipper. Now, Robochicken is also vulnerable to being flipped over, but Panzer's flipper vs Robochicken's shape is less likely to cause a KO flip than the reverse, which puts my vote on this side.

- This is the best outcome we can have for Robochicken, who isn't likely to proceed much further but gets a big scalp along the way. Toon Ganondorf (t c) 11:51, November 4, 2019 (UTC)
- Now, both 'bots seem prone to getting one-flip-and-done'd... until RoboChicken takes its pecking head off. Then only one 'bot is in danger of a killer flip, and that is Panzer MK2. It doesn't matter if Panzer has all the speed, all Robochicken needs to do is get under Panzer's masssive ground clearance and get a one-flip-and-done. --TheyCallMeDoot (*doot doot*) 12:11, November 4, 2019 (UTC)
- Panzer Mk2 is a very good robot...but it can't self right and after rewatching Extreme 1 again, namely the Second World Championship, it struggled to get underneath both Phillipper and Tornado, which doesn't seem very good what so ever...Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 13:04, November 4, 2019 (UTC)
- It's a battle between two robots who have flippers, yet can't self-right (despite claims from both that they might be able to). For me this comes down to two things - ground clearance and flipper lowness, both of which Robochicken has the edge. Panzer CAN certainly win, but I'd argue 7-3...maybe 6-4...times that Robochicken has the advantage. Am I being generous here? CrashBash (talk) 15:12, November 4, 2019 (UTC)
- Unless Panzer is a little conservative in its approach to get underneath, I would be more inclined to bet on Robochicken getting a cleaner chance to glide under and toss Panzer over. Datovidny (talk) 15:33, November 4, 2019 (UTC)
- I think Robochicken can get the first flip in, and Panzer, as a good a machine as it might be, can't self right. Adster1005 20:02, November 4, 2019 (UTC)
- Considering Robochicken's team could always take the head off to enable the robot to right itself, I see no problems backing the chicken here. I see it ultimately overturning its opponent with one powerful flip. SpaceManiac888 (Talk) 22:09, November 4, 2019 (UTC)
- To me, Robochicken is more likely to get the flip in than vice versa- and I'd back the team to remove the head anyway. The flip might take some time to get, but Robochicken showed against Tough as Nails it can take some slams, so it should survive until throwing Panzer Mk 2 over.
