Enter the warzone, 8 more battle-hardened bots ready to fight for a place in the Semi-Finals. It's anybody's guess as to who'll be left standing at the end of Heat E! Datovidny (talk) 15:46, November 16, 2013 (UTC)

Round 1

Stinger (9) vs Mean Streak

Stinger	Mean Streak
Votes for Stinger Here it is, the robot that this whole competition is about, and if you ask me, off to a flying start. Mean Streak's slab sides tell the story really, they'll likely suffer a few bashes, and there will be little Mean Streak can do to retaliate. Datovidny (talk) 15:46, November 16, 2013 (UTC) David's hit the nail on the head. Stinger loves flat sides. MattTalk to me 16:09, November 16, 2013 (UTC) Finally, a reinstated robot wins a battle, I may not be a big fan of Stinger, but I'm glad to see it here. Jimlaad43(talk) 16:12, November 16, 2013 (UTC) Mean Streak was most fortunate to reach Round 2 in Robot Wars. Quite funny how three of the robots from its melee are in this heat, while the fourth one was binned. ToastUltimatum 16:27, November 16, 2013 (UTC) I think this battle will come down to Stinger simply doing what it does best....bash the living hell out of Mean Streak. It's withstood 13 Black and Fluffy, there's no way Mean Streak's tiny little blades can retaliate. CrashBash (talk) 17:13, November 16, 2013 (UTC) Stinger will batter the sides and top of Mean Streak for the win. Combatwombat555 (talk) 17:30, November 16, 2013 (UTC) Mean Streak will be battered by Stinger. Sam (BAZINGA) 19:27, November 16, 2013 (UTC) An easy victory for Stinger in this one. BizarroKing (talk) 06:52, November 17, 2013 (UTC) I do quite like Mean Streak, but there's no doubt about it- now that Stinger's up for a ruck this time, it's going to get pummeled. I'm seeing it breaking down and being counted out on both internal and external damage after being bludgeoned by the mace, before being thrown by the Floor Flipper. --GoldenFox93 (talk) 08:09, November 17, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Mean Streak

The Kraken vs The Stag

The Kraken	The Stag
Votes for The Kraken I don't know if The Stag is foolhardy enough to drive up the wedge and be carried around with its wheels spinning, but it was foolhardy enough to drive down the pit, both as a heavyweight and featherweight. Datovidny (talk) 15:46, November 16, 2013 (UTC) The Kraken was far from top quality, but I think it has the edge over The Stag. It should manage to get under The Stag, and grab hold using the weak claw. The Plunderthocker shouldn't see any use, but whether The Stag is pitted, pits itself, or goes to a Judges' decision, The Kraken's weapon and wedge will be more effective. If The Stag does win though, will Gyrobot gain revenge for The Stag taking its place in Series 6? ToastUltimatum 16:27, November 16, 2013 (UTC) The first time I saw The Stag, it was at the very first "Robot Rumble" I ever attended - the first of four Robot-live events I went to. It was pitted against Barbaric Response...and ended up winning. So it's not like it can't win battles (albeit there was no pit in this arena). However, what draws me away from The Stag and more towards The Kraken is the weaponry. Can't rate either too highly, but The Kraken's looks slightly more potent to me. Plus, that wedge looks like it could see some usage. CrashBash (talk) 17:16, November 16, 2013 (UTC) I really liked the Kraken's weaponry, and the crusher was fairly strong. Stag was fast - too fast for its own good given how uncontrolled it was, and I was never impressed by its weapon. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 17:25, November 16, 2013 (UTC). I really liked The Kraken in its short time on the show. It's sturdy, well controlled and its weaponry was pretty powerful. Wasn't all that impressed by The Stag. It's fast but how good are the claws? For me, The Kraken will be able to grapple onto The Stag and crush it like a bug. --Headbanger14/The Hardcore Kid 23:00, November 16, 2013 (UTC) I don't see what The Stage has to win this battle. The Kraken won't sit there and allow The Stage to push it. It was hopeless against Thermidor, but The Stag doesn't possess that kind of weaponry. The Kraken has a decent hydraulic crusher, and a nice wedge to trap and push Stag. ManUCrazy (talk) 01:33, November 17, 2013 (UTC) I loved the design for The Kraken, and I thought it had an unfortunate draw on its actual appearance on Robot Wars. Stag however, I just cannot see the appeal of- particularly not with the exposed wheels and those useless little pincers. I'm going to foresee the beetle being crushed under the heel of the Kraken's boot, who will go to town on it with the Crushing Rams and immobilise it on damage a la Razer and Tornado, before pitting it. --GoldenFox93 (talk) 08:16, November 17, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for The Stag I'm not convinced by The Kraken. I think that The Stag, provided it keeps itself out of the pit, may be able to shove and eventually pit The Kraken. Hey, for good measure it will take itself down with it. MattTalk to me 16:09, November 16, 2013 (UTC) The Stag seemed a little better at pushing. Neither weapon will do meaningful damage, so if it stays out of the pit, I'll side with The Stag. Jimlaad43(talk) 16:13, November 16, 2013 (UTC) The Stag did seem faster and better at pushing. The Kraken's hydraulic claw also doesn't seem to be large enough to crush The Stag and the pneumatic one is pretty useless, so I back The Stag to get side on, shove and pit. Combatwombat555 (talk) 18:13, November 16, 2013 (UTC) Sea monster vs a insect? I'm backing the insect as it is faster and should be able to pit the sea monster. Sam (BAZINGA) 19:28, November 16, 2013 (UTC) Maybe I'm overestimating the Stag here but I think if it can get behind the Kraken and then shove it around towards the pit or to the CPZs of the House Robots, I could see it picking up a come from behind win.

Judge Shred 3 vs I Bot One Beta

Judge Shred 3	I Bot One Beta
Votes for Judge Shred 3 I Bot One Beta similar in size to Corkscrew Two, see where I'm going with this...? Datovidny (talk) 15:46, November 16, 2013 (UTC) Yes, yes I do. MattTalk to me 16:09, November 16, 2013 (UTC) I think we are all going to echo David's sentiment here. Jimlaad43(talk) 16:14, November 16, 2013 (UTC) I rate I Bot One Beta more than the rest of the wiki, but its weapons might not even touch a low machine like Judge Shred 3. There can only be one winner. ToastUltimatum 16:27, November 16, 2013 (UTC) I like it too, and think it was unlucky, but Judge Shred is too good for even the biggest IB1β fanboy (If there is one) Jimlaad43(talk) 16:29, November 16, 2013 (UTC) By Series 7, Judge Shred had turned into something of a monster. I can certainly imagine it having the advantage over the far less experienced I Bot One Beta, that's for sure. CrashBash (talk) 17:18, November 16, 2013 (UTC) Flip, flip, flip. I Bot One Beta won't be able to do much with the tiny spinners in response. Combatwombat555 (talk) 17:34, November 16, 2013 (UTC) I Bot One Beta is not That Hard To Beta. The judge will send it over the wall. Sam (BAZINGA) 19:30, November 16, 2013 (UTC) I think Judge Shred can pull off the OoTA here or at least flip I Bot around with no offense taken from the opposition. BizarroKing (talk) 06:54, November 17, 2013 (UTC) "Inhabitants of the RW Wiki, this is Judge Shred. In case you people have forgotten, Audited Series 7 operates under the same regulations as the rest of Robot Wars. I Bot One Beta's not the Law. I am the Law. I Bot One Beta is a Round One dropout- guilty of inexperience, guilty of a lack of reliability in past fights, and as of now under the sentence of being flipped Out of the Arena. Any who obstruct me in carrying out my duty will be treated as an accessory to his crimes. You have been warned. As for you, I Bot One Beta...judgement time." --GoldenFox93 (talk) 08:21, November 17, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for I Bot One Beta

Hellbent vs Gyrobot

Hellbent	Gyrobot
Votes for Hellbent Again, Gyrobot doesn't impress me massively, whereas Hellbent does. I think that the axe will eventually hit the flat top and give Hellbent some leverage to drag Gyrobot to the pit. MattTalk to me 16:09, November 16, 2013 (UTC) We saw Hellbent pierce Mean Streak and I Bot One Beta, as well as Araknia, and its axe still did fairly significant damage. Gyrobot, we just saw damaging a questionably armoured Killerkat and not being able to do much to The Grim Reaper aside from a few scars that were hardly evident amongst all the flipping it was receiving. Point being, if we assume Hellbent's axe can't actually pierce Gyrobot's top (it might well do, though), I still think the lifting forks will throw it around quite effectively. Whilst the damage category might be close between the two, Hellbent taking style, control and aggression will swing the judges decision. Easily. CrashBash (talk) 17:22, November 16, 2013 (UTC) Gyrobot's top is made of polycarb, which gives quite easily under piercing pressure. I can see Hellbent easily piercing it. I doon't know if Gyro was just unfortunate to come up against strongly-armoured robots, but it never proved that it was up there damage-wise with Corkscrew and Hypno Disc. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 17:32, November 16, 2013 (UTC) Tough decision for me, mainly because of Hellbent's bolted armour, enough knocks from Gyrobot could take plates off. However, Gyrobot's top is only armoured in polycarbonate, Hellbent's axe should fairly easily get through that into the electronics. Hellbent's flipper was also pretty useful, and constantly inverting Gyrobot will be to the detriment of its control, I believe it was mentioned during the post-fight interview against The Grim Reaper that the constant flipping really didn't help when it came to gaining points of their own, the driver would have to keep inverting the controls. Hellbent to win through a knock-out by an axe through something vital, or by the judges on aggression, sitting and spinning in one place won't gain Gyrobot many points. Combatwombat555 (talk) 18:41, November 16, 2013 (UTC) Hellbent will axe, flip and push Mr Gyro around and down the pit. Sam (BAZINGA) 19:31, November 16, 2013 (UTC) Could go either way, but Gyrobot for me, didn't do enough spinning in either of its battles to convince me it can deliver the knockout blow to Hellbent. Hellbnt can just control the fight, get in a few flips, and either pit Gyrobot or win via judges. ManUCrazy (talk) 01:42, November 17, 2013 (UTC)	Votes for Gyrobot Nippy enough to avoid the lifter and axe I think, and could cause damage to those wheels or armour that was never really tested by a spinner. Datovidny (talk) 15:46, November 16, 2013 (UTC) We only really saw Hellbent pierce Araknia. The armour didn't look the best, and Gyrobot has to get on the forks to be hit. Another toughie, but with half-decent robots, so I'll side with Gyrobot. Jimlaad43(talk) 16:17, November 16, 2013 (UTC) The one I've been waiting for. This heat definitely has easier opponents to throw at Gyrobot, but I believe that Hellbent is still enough to put Gyrobot through. Whether it wants to flip Gyrobot, which won't do very much, or axe it, Hellbent will have to get underneath Gyrobot. If Gyrobot is running away at its 20mph top speed while spinning at 750RPM, perhaps Hellbent would be able to slip underneath if it could catch up in the first place, but Gyrobot often used a sit-and-spin tactic, which doubled the 35kg rim's RPM to 1500, which is a lot of force (40KJoules, for anyone who understands). That should knock Hellbent away, and the exposed wheels are an obvious target if Gyrobot goes on the attack. If Gyrobot isn't hitting the actual wheels, it could bend the wheelguards into the tyre and immobilise Hellbent on one side. Hellbent's armour looks quite poor, and the bolts holding it together are very exposed and large, which could easily come loose. Flat sides don't like spinners either. Perhaps Gyrobot could even disable Hellbent's forks. Hellbent has a chance, but would have to get a lot of flips and axe attacks, while Gyrobot just has to get a few bashes. Let's get Gyrobot to the heat final! ToastUltimatum 16:36, November 16, 2013 (UTC) Again may be overestimating Gyrobot here but I thought it was a fairly decent spinner in my eyes, I think they can damage the wheels or sides of Hellbent and get the win via judges. BizarroKing (talk) 06:56, November 17, 2013 (UTC) I'd like to see Gyrobot do well, here. Hellbent is good, but it has those big flat sides and exposed wheels, just right for its opponent to carve into with the Spinner. It's agile enough to get to Hellbent's blind spots and do lots of damage in the process, so I'm going to put it through. --GoldenFox93 (talk) 08:24, November 17, 2013 (UTC) To begin with I wasn't sure which way to vote, but after reading, I'm not sure what Hellbent can do with Gyrobot. Assuming everything works, which we have to, I think Gyrobot could be aggressive enough or maybe even damaging enough to see it go through on a Judges' Decision. snowdog140 09:44, November 17, 2013 (UTC)
