#This is basically ST2 & Eric VS Reactor & a god-damned paperweight. A one-flip-and-done will subdue Ghetto-Bot and Eric and ST2 are far better equipped to take on Reactor by lifting it about and not giving it a chance to attack back.

Heat the Second of Random Format Series 4 takes us into the realms of Tag Teams. 8 pairs of robots will enter the arena in head-to-head fights with each other, knocking the blocks off their opponents and hoping their team mate is able to cover any weaknesses they may have. One team will eventually win, with both proceeding to the Series Semi-Finals.
This will be a pretty simple victory for ST2 and Eric. ST can peck away at Reactor with the axe, and lift it around the arena as it pleases. Eric should be able to defeat Reactor too. Ghetto-bot is screwed no matter which opponent it's against, so a clear victory methinks. Jimlaad43(talk) 13:49, April 15, 2020 (UTC)
Ghetto-Bot didn't have any real power and Reactor may have a decent flipper it will be easily bulldozed and bullied, very easy win here.Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 13:51, April 15, 2020 (UTC)
This is a pretty easy decision, partly helped by Ghetto-Bot's lack of weight and limited reliability when all is said and done. Reactor will probably last to the judges, but that's about it. CrashBash (talk) 14:37, April 15, 2020 (UTC)
ST2 can axe away at Ghetto-bot and push it around, and Eric can get under Reactor, as can Suicidal Tendencies can axe away at both for an easy Judges' Decision. Adster1005 14:42, April 15, 2020 (UTC)
It's much more fun to do Tag Team events where you can't control who teams with who, which makes this heat and Tag Team Series 5 so fun. Some strong teams in this, with ST and Eric being one of them! Gotta feel bad for Reactor though, a respectable machine dragged down by Ghetto-bot. TOAST 15:44, April 15, 2020 (UTC)

Tornado will get Banshee shoved into the pit with ease, and shouldn't struggle too much against MouseTrap. The cheesy wedge is just too slow and ponderous to think about causing Tornado issues. Rambot probably doesn't need to bother in this fight, although it could tip Banshee over if required. Jimlaad43(talk) 13:49, April 15, 2020 (UTC)
MouseTrap pulled a VERY short straw with Banshee as its partner, poor MouseTrap will be shunted and most likely break down, Rambot may not even need to come out.Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 13:52, April 15, 2020 (UTC)
A tag team is often only as good as its weakest member, and considering Rambot was still able to give Behemoth a run for its money, Banshee is easily the weakest here. Heck, even Tornado outclasses Mousetrap. CrashBash (talk) 14:38, April 15, 2020 (UTC)
Tornado can ram both around the arena with ease, until the pit eventually opens and both MouseTrap and Banshee are dumped in the pit. Adster1005 14:43, April 15, 2020 (UTC)
Tornado was an excellent robot for Series 4 standards, with its only main weakness being reliability. Rambot, meanwhile, has no real cause for doubt with reliability and was a respectable fighter in its own right. This is a killer team, and I can see Rambot earning a surprise semi-final. TOAST 15:46, April 15, 2020 (UTC)
Proper good team here. Sad for Mousetrap but it is what it is. NJGW (talk) 16:19, April 15, 2020 (UTC)
Tornado easily blows MouseTrap away, Banshee comes out, so does Rambot, who charges underneath far enough to get it onto that flipper thing and lever it over. Hogwild94 (talk) 18:12, April 15, 2020 (UTC)
Winner:
Diotoir & Oblivion 2 vs Killertron & Plunderbird 4
Honestly Oblivion 2 is a much better teammate than Plunderbird 4. It's not getting its aerial cut off by Saw Point again, and Plunderbird 4 in the real Tag Team Terror was as much use as a chocolate teapot. I think we'd all (or mostly) go for Diotoir to back Killertron too, on ground clearance and a more useful weapon. If we scrap the idea that Oblivion makes this team auto-lose, I think Team Diotoir has the upper hand. It's overcome stronger teams on its own, after all! Yes that's a dig at Pussycat being useless in the Tag Team Terror + Mega Morg being Mega Morg. TOAST 15:53, April 15, 2020 (UTC)
But it didn't lose from getting its aerial cut off. It lost because Saw Point drove over it and bent the frame enough to ground it. CrashBash (talk) 15:59, April 15, 2020 (UTC)
Votes for Killertron & Plunderbird 4
Screw it, let's have Vic Reeves' Diotoir for a laugh. After all, that's the only version that actually won a battle in Series 4 anyway. Regardless, it doesn't really matter because Diotoir has such a useless team mate in this fight against a competent robot and a Plunderbird. Killertron will likely be stronger than Diotoir anyway, so Oblivion's simple demise will further cremate Diotoir's hopes. Jimlaad43(talk) 13:49, April 15, 2020 (UTC)
I kinda like the idea Diotoir would enter with that frying pan :P Killertron is the strongest here, with an axe to deliver blows that can cause damage and may even kill off Oblivion. Plunderbird 4 is a really good robot if you rewatch its battles. It's wedge and claw will deliver some convincing attacks.Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 13:54, April 15, 2020 (UTC)
It's actually kinda worrying on how little it took for Oblivion to just get crippled to the point where it couldn't move. Even if Diotoir flips Plunderbird over in a way Killertron can't right it, I feel Killertron is more likely to win the ensuing battle on aggression. CrashBash (talk) 14:40, April 15, 2020 (UTC)
Killertron can axe away at Diotoir, although I both returning and letting Oblivion 2 and Plunderbird out, of which Plunderbird will win by pushing Oblivion around the arena, and eventually into the pit. Killertron will then axe Diotoir, and let Plunderbird push it into the pit. Adster1005 14:46, April 15, 2020 (UTC)
Going for this team. Primarily because of Killertron, actually. Yes, its axe is rightly laughed at in Extreme, but in the Series 4 80kg limit, it's still a fine weapon - piercing Suicidal Tendencies' top armour (which even Dominator 2 didn't always do), and Maverick (if that matters). I think it can cause issues with it in this fight. NJGW (talk) 16:24, April 15, 2020 (UTC)
Whichever Diotoir we have, I somehow don't trust its flipper or wedge to be able to overturn Killertron, and Plunderbird would easily beat it too, same with Oblivion. Hogwild94 (talk) 18:14, April 15, 2020 (UTC)
Winner:
Disc-O-Inferno & Atomic vs X-Terminator 2 & The Morgue
X-Terminator was a brick in Series 4, meaning it can take knocks and deal them out. A good whack into both Disc-O and Atomic and it's not unlikely that something inside will break, forcing them to conk out. The Morgue will be a useful addition to the team, but once X-Terminator has flipped them both up and killed the opponents, The Morgue may as well not bother. Jimlaad43(talk) 13:49, April 15, 2020 (UTC)
Considering that Disc-O was as reliable as a dead parrot looking after your car keys and wallet, it is no surprise to see them lose very early on. X-terminator is weakly armoured as we saw in the Semi Finals but I don't see either Atomic or Disc-O doing anything to it and The Morgue has the spikes to ram in and cause damage. Also I love the fact that X-Terminator is with The Morgue like in Extreme 2...what a coincidence! Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 13:57, April 15, 2020 (UTC)
The two eventual tag-team mates team up early and battle two of the most unreliable robots of the series. It's a match made in heaven, really. CrashBash (talk) 14:41, April 15, 2020 (UTC)
All four of these would go on to be great machines in some capacity in later wars, but X-Terminator can axe away, and The Morgue can push, especially as Disc-O-Inferno wasn't the most reliable in Series 4. X-Terminator 2 and Morgue to axe and push Disc-O and Atomic to take a win. Adster1005 15:10, April 15, 2020 (UTC)
A genuine real-life tag team partnership in the only tag team heat of the series! Who would've thought it? Sadly Disc-O-Inferno was a death wish for anyone who teamed up with it, and my boy Atomic is the one who suffers as a result. TOAST 15:55, April 15, 2020 (UTC)
Heh, it's funny that for me this partnership is more interesting here than it is in the future for EX2 itself. NJGW (talk) 16:25, April 15, 2020 (UTC)
Disc-O-Inferno twice broke down of its own accord in S4, and Atomic fared little better, two solid opponents can easily outlast them both. Hogwild94 (talk) 18:17, April 15, 2020 (UTC)
