Votes for Velocirippa
- I honestly think Velocirippa's being hard done by here. Yes, it died after one attack - after Razer went right through the steering servo, which is an attack that nothing here can repeat. Small Torque's got the best weapon in the battle and should tear up The Predator's sides nicely, but in a fight that's likely to go the distance I can't see it surviving to the end with its overheating problems. Velocirippa and The Predator last to the judges' decision, but Velocirippa goes through on the basis of being more aggressive (Velocirippa was getting stuck in well before it lost steering, and even afterwards to be honest- as well as it could, anyway) and The Predator suffering damage.

- Small Torque to cause damage and immobilise Predator, before its cooling system fails causing it to overheat and die. Velocirippa does a Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing. Hogwild94 (talk) 17:33, May 13, 2020 (UTC)

Votes for Small Torque
#Small Torque can try to bite away at the side of Velocirippa with the disc, scoring points and avoiding being pushed about. The Predator isn't even worth considering, except for damage points maybe. Jimlaad43(talk) 13:32, May 13, 2020 (UTC)
- Small Torque to keep nicking the side of Velocirippa and The Predator to take a Judges Decision, and whilst Velocirippa might be aggressive, I think Small Torque will still take it. Adster1005 13:38, May 13, 2020 (UTC)
- Small Torque highly unfortunate to be here in the first place. I don't imagine it will beat Overkill GTI or Steg-2, but if it does come up against Aggrobot 2 again, expect a longer vote this time. TOAST 13:43, May 13, 2020 (UTC)
- I do love The Predator, but to me this is a comfortable Small Torque victory. Velocirippa and Small Torque did indeed get KO'd from one attack each, but those were still attacks that caused some form of internal shake/damage. The Predator will struggle to replicate those type of things. Small Torque to consistently cut into The Predator, while Velocirippa lowkey causes problems for both by being aggressive. However, it breaks down as the fight progresses, leaving Small Torque's spread-out damage to seal the deal on a judges' decision. NJGW (talk) 16:31, May 13, 2020 (UTC)
- Its hard not to think that Small Torque was robbed last round and it’s damage output diminished because people think its not as good as All Torque. How anyone could call Small Torque anything but the second best Team Torque machine is beyond me. Anyway, while the Predator votes are compelling, we just didn’t see enough of how well The Predator drives to give me comfort that it can do what people think. Alex McBride and Martyn Sloss arent Kim Davies or Graham Bone, but they did have a heat final and a toe to toe with Nick Adams in their resume. Toon Ganondorf (t c) 03:46, May 14, 2020 (UTC)
- That doesn't really mean anything, though. I mean, it's clear Piece de Resistance is Team Death's worst machine, so it's obvious that the other three are their best, second best and third best robot...but that doesn't automatically make their best robot, whichever you argue it is out of Immortalis and Metalis, amazing. Small Torque is only Team Torque's second best robot because it has Fighting Torque and Hippobotomus following on from it. CrashBash (talk) 05:30, May 14, 2020 (UTC)
- The only reason I mention it is because I've seen like 3 people call Small Torque their worst machine, which baffles me. Toon Ganondorf (t c) 12:19, May 14, 2020 (UTC)
- Umm, no one actually said that. Doot and I both said that Small Torque is a downgrade from All Torque, not that it was their worst machine. Hogwild did call Small Torque "the weakest Torque robot", but that's not the full sentence - he also said "built as a serious entrant rather than as a child pleasing entrant", so obviously he wasn't counting Hippobotomus and I doubt he was counting the original Fighting Torque either. CrashBash (talk) 12:34, May 14, 2020 (UTC)
- In retrospect, I don't actually think I was right there; Small Torque was probably better than S2 All Torque, but not the S3 incarnation. Hogwild94 (talk) 17:32, May 14, 2020 (UTC)
- The real question is who is better of these two: Fighting Torque or Fighting Torque: Hippobotomus Edition. SpaceManiac888 (Talk) 12:41, May 14, 2020 (UTC)

Votes for The Predator
- As much as I want Small Torque to win here, let's not underrate The Predator here. In terms of durability, it wins by miles, considering it survived multiple Hypno-Disc blows whereas Velocirippa could not survive one Razer crush while Small Torque died against Eric. Secondly, The Predator's lifter is very useful here. It is perfect for catching and toppling the small, srimechless Velocirippa, while its range enables it to outpush Small Torque into potential harm. Ultimately, I feel that if Hypno-Disc took multiple hits to take out The Predator, Small Torque never will, and as this battle drags on, The Predator should secure the knockout victory by pushing a vulnerable Small Torque into the CPZ, where the House Robots should inflict critical damage.

- Was gonna vote Small Torque but Space's vote here has managed to swing this for me. If Predator keeps its front against Small Torque, Small Torque will only grind and won't have any real way to fight back, plus if you throw a running away but occasionally attacking Velocirippa into the mix, then Small Torque really won't be lasting the full bout. Of course, Velocirippa will be avoiding the fight for pretty much 80% of the time so it won't win. Leaving Predator who can out last the others and try to be controlled, damaging and aggressive.Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 16:03, May 13, 2020 (UTC)
- The truth of the matter is, I just don't trust Small Torque in the long run. Yes, it'll outlast Velocirippa. Yes, it should be the most effective of these three. But we all saw how easy it was to burn out when it didn't have the cooling system...and frankly, we have no reason to believe that it even has the cooling system for this fight, or even if it would have worked at all. Therefore, ultimately The Predator wins largely by outlasting the other two. Also, on a separate note, I'm legit surprised that the Robot Wars Magazine never thought to have a Fantasy Fight between Predator, Arnold A and X-Terminator, as they literally called out the "Arnie" connection in one of the magazines. CrashBash (talk) 16:40, May 13, 2020 (UTC)
- Guess I wasn't the only one intending to vote for the outlandish option, huh? Anyways, Small Torque looks like it should win this, and can win this. The problem is that Small Torque is pretty unreliable and was prone to burning out and dying for whatever reason. Meanwhile, Velocirippa... is Velocirippa, so that's a moot point. The Predator will somehow manage to win through outlasting both machines, though not doing too much of its own thing to stand out. Least its a free heat final place, though. --TheyCallMeDoot (*doot doot*) 18:27, May 13, 2020 (UTC)
- Not if Space (and even I if a certain matchup occours) have any thing to say abut it :P Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 18:35, May 13, 2020 (UTC)
- You've convinced me boiz. I was never really convinced by Small Torque in any way, but at least The Predator has something that might be able to respond to Small Torque's weapon. Jimlaad43(talk) 23:33, May 14, 2020 (UTC)
