Bee-Capitator & Firestorm 3 vs S3 & Plunderbird 5

Bee-Capitator & Firestorm 3	S3 & Plunderbird 5
Votes for Bee-Capitator & Firestorm 3 I had a vote for S3 and Plunderbird 5 all written out, and then I rewatched the fight between Firestorm 4 and S3. I have no doubt that Bee-Capitator is being KO'd in the first thirty seconds of this fight - a single hit from S3 could probably overturn it. But Firestorm 3 absolutely can carry Bee-Capitator through for the win. Graham Bone completely outclassed S3 in their 1v1 clash on the driving front. If S3 had been better at manoeuvring with Firestorm, or if Plunderbird 5 had any way of lasting past a single flip, I'd vote judges to eliminate Firestorm and Bee-Capitator. But the reality is Firestorm can overturn Plunderbird 5 easily enough and then its a 1v1 we've seen before. Toon Ganondorf (t c) 11:02, July 31, 2017 (UTC) Bee-Capitator will be KO'ed but Firestorm can take care of S3 and Plunderbird 5 both. Plunderbird has no srimech but S3 will just be flipped constantly. CaliforniaKingsnake (talk) 13:08, July 31, 2017 (UTC) Blimey, tough one to start. Bee-Capitator's getting shredded by S3, that's no question. Firestorm charges out and rams S3, Plunderbird comes out to intercept, two-on-one. If S3 manages to get a decent hit to Firestorm's side whilst it's distracted by Plunderbird, then it might be all over, but S3 did tend to have trouble positioning for an attack, constantly over-turning and having to readjust. Whilst S3 is struggling to line up an attack, Plunderbird's getting flipped, and then Firestorm's got the advantage. Combatwombat555 (talk) 14:12, July 31, 2017 (UTC) There's no question that Bee-Capitator will be disabled by S3 within seconds. But then Firestorm comes out, and S3 begins to struggle badly. Even if Plunderbird can come out and try to act as a distraction, it won't work. Either Firestorm will ignore it and continue to boss S3 around until it either goes into the pit or out of the arena, both of them more than possible, OR it can turn on Plunderbird, flip it over easily, and then focus entirely on S3 again. CrashBash (talk) 14:23, July 31, 2017 (UTC) Bee-Capitator could die, but if Tag Teams have ever shown is that both robots tend to enter the arena. S3 is surely the more destructive but Firestorm is the slver bullet in this battle and will despose of Plunderbird in one flip and S3 can be chucked about or chucked out.Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 14:32, July 31, 2017 (UTC) Bee-Capitator will no doubt be 'bee-capitated' by S3's disc, but Firestorm is sure to deliver a painful sting by bossing S3 around in the same way it ultimately did in Series 6. I don't know what Plunderbird 5 can do to rescue S3 before its pitted or thrown out, but one flip is all it will take for Firestorm to defeat it as well. VulcansHowl 15:39, July 31, 2017 (UTC) Firestorm 3 will dart out the moment that Bee-Capitator comes under pressure. Even if Bee-Capitator is turned over by S3, Firestorm 3 will be able to take back control of this battle. If S3 had a better, more controlled teammate, then Firestorm 3 may have trouble disposing of S3, but in this case, S3 isn't going to get any help. S3 won't end the battle inside the arena, and even if Plunderbird 5 can't be turned over before cease, Firestorm 3 will ensure that both teams have, at the most, one robot, and it can take the Judges' decision as a result. Nweston8 (talk) 17:05, July 31, 2017 (UTC) Bee-Capitator will get predictable pwned by S3, but Firestorm can easily outflip both opponents. Hogwild94 (talk) 17:27, July 31, 2017 (UTC)	Votes for S3 & Plunderbird 5 With Firestorm distracted by Plunderbird for only a few seconds, S3 has the opportunity to hit the weak sides of Firestorm. In this time, the sides will be vulnerable. I feel that the opportunity for an OHKO by Firestorm on Plunderbird will be too tempting, and that split second is the point where the battle can turn in favour of the newcomers*. We know Firestorm's sides are vulnerable to a fluke KO from a spinner, who's to say it can't happen again? Jimlaad43(talk) 12:27, July 31, 2017 (UTC) Hmm. Certainly Firestorm IV bodied S3, but even though Firestorm III is a very similar machine, there's some key differences. For one, this is S3's debut battle, and Firestorm has less reason to suspect it. Secondly, Firestorm III did die from a hard knock when faced with a spinner, which later Firestorms did not. Crucially, Firestorm has yet to earn an OotA at this point in time, and the Disc of Doom trigger is also missing, so I see S3 staying firmly in the arena. Factoring in the destructive downfall of Bee-Capitator and the damage Firestorm will sustain while failing to secure a knockout, and I think Plunderbird just avenged its loss in the Tag Team Terror from Series 4. TOAST 02:00, August 1, 2017 (UTC) I was just convinced by ToastUltimatum. GutripperSpeak 04:12, August 1, 2017 (UTC)
Winners: Bee-Capitator & Firestorm 3 (8-3)

Sumpthing & Widow's Revenge vs Dome & Diotoir

Sumpthing & Widow's Revenge	Dome & Diotoir
Votes for Sumpthing & Widow's Revenge Sumpthing's spikes will probably damage something vital inside of Dome, which will either be KO'd as a result, or just breakdown on its own accord. Diotoir will then come out to help, but with Widow's Revenge's wide shape and Sumpthing's nippy aggression, it'll struggle to flip either and will also be attacked itself. It seems unlikely and I certainly know why the scoreline is currently what it is, but this version of Sumpthing was at least competitive and Widow's Revenge can keep trundling along too. Nweston8 (talk) 17:14, July 31, 2017 (UTC)	Votes for Dome & Diotoir Sumpthing vs. Dome - the clash of titans we always wanted! Diotoir, as a bona fide Tag Team Champion, would probably win this clash even if it was 3 v 1. Toon Ganondorf (t c) 11:02, July 31, 2017 (UTC) Easy victory for the heat finalist. Jimlaad43(talk) 12:24, July 31, 2017 (UTC) Well I think we've found the ultimate free pass tag team. CaliforniaKingsnake (talk) 13:08, July 31, 2017 (UTC) Heat L would like to disagree with you. Jimlaad43(talk) 13:41, July 31, 2017 (UTC) Dome vs Sumpthing to start, wow. Neither robot can do much to the other, I guess both will look aggressive if nothing else, but given Sumpthing's legendary unreliability maybe Dome's trebuchet thing can dislodge something important? Doesn't really matter if it can't, as soon as it tags Diotoir can mop up both. Sumpthing will probably get flipped, Widow's Revenge is a bit more awkward to dispose of but it can't do much to fight back. Combatwombat555 (talk) 14:20, July 31, 2017 (UTC) Diotoir could topple Widow's Revenge while Sumpthing, due to having exposed electronics and being unreliable will probably die from ether being flipped or pushed all around. The Dome, I can't really see what it can do other than take some of the hits like it did against against Vader only this time it's against these two, starting with Sumpthing but like always the partner, in this case Diotoir, will come in and save the day.Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 14:35, July 31, 2017 (UTC) I'm not really sure how useful Dome's trebuchet will be, but there's no doubt that Diotoir's Tag Team experience will come in handy here. Widow's Revenge to be pushed and flicked about, while Sumpthing breaks down in its usual way despite being reasonably aggressive and damaging throughout. VulcansHowl 15:39, July 31, 2017 (UTC) I reckon Dome's weapon could be quite effective on that flat top of Widow's Revenge. Hogwild94 (talk) 17:29, July 31, 2017 (UTC) I could buy Nick's theory if it were just a little more... true? I don't mean that in a harsh way - certainly Series 6's Sumpthing was very competitive in its melee, and that Sumpthing could quite possibly handle this match - but Sumpthing had five minutes to do nothing in Series 5, and it lost to a robot that did nothing. Diotoir at least secure one KO and that will have to do. TOAST 02:03, August 1, 2017 (UTC) Just signing my name. GutripperSpeak 04:13, August 1, 2017 (UTC)
Winners: Dome & Diotoir (8-1)

Play-off

Widow's Revenge & Sumpthing vs Plunderbird 5 & S3

Widow's Revenge & Sumpthing	Plunderbird 5 & S3
Votes for Sumpthing & Widow's Revenge	Votes for Plunderbird 5 & S3 I figured we can get the next two over and done with. S3 could win this single handedly - you know, Plunderbird 5 could probably win this single-handedly. Toon Ganondorf (t c) 11:30, August 1, 2017 (UTC) Plunderbird bosses Widow's Revenge, Sumpthing rushes out to attempt to rescue it and promptly gets mauled by S3, which then finishes off Widow's Revenge. Combatwombat555 (talk) 11:34, August 1, 2017 (UTC) lol. Jimlaad43(talk) 12:47, August 1, 2017 (UTC) Y'know Plunderbird could actually do some damage to Sumpthing's electronics and could get the claw around the sides of Widow's Revenge as well. Though if S3 comes in the opposition is dead, so regardless they're doomed!Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 15:04, August 1, 2017 (UTC) Very easy win for the superior pair. Hogwild94 (talk) 17:29, August 1, 2017 (UTC) Easy CaliforniaKingsnake (talk) 01:20, August 2, 2017 (UTC) S3 and Plunderbird will tear Sump Thing and Widow's Revenge to pieces within seconds. Hell, S3 could win against the other three if they were duplicated for a 1 v 6. Raz3r(talk) 07:55, August 2, 2017 (UTC) This one is S3's to dominate, while Plunderbird 5 will survive purely for being on standby for the whole bout. VulcansHowl 07:55, August 2, 2017 (UTC) Plunderbird could probably beat either robot individually. TOAST 22:06, August 2, 2017 (UTC) Yay, another S3 damage exhibition. Nweston8 (talk) 22:44, August 2, 2017 (UTC)
Winners: Plunderbird 5 & S3 (10-0)

Heat Final

Bee-Capitator & Firestorm 3 vs Dome & Diotoir

Bee-Capitator & Firestorm 3	Dome & Diotoir
Votes for Bee-Capitator & Firestorm 3 Dome joins Scorpion in the glorious hall of fame that is the Tag Team Runners Up. Toon Ganondorf (t c) 11:30, August 1, 2017 (UTC) Dome slices up some fur with the Swinging Pizza Cutter of Mild Peril, but as soon as Firestorm joins the fight it's all over. Would be a slightly more interesting fight if Diotoir could self-right, but it can't quite even with the frame things and on a full-power flip (see Diotoir vs Spawn Again), so easy victory. Combatwombat555 (talk) 11:39, August 1, 2017 (UTC) Dome and Diotoir are both out when they're flipped. Firestorm can flip both easily. Jimlaad43(talk) 12:48, August 1, 2017 (UTC) I'd like to imagine that Diotoir at least topples Bee-Capitator.Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 15:05, August 1, 2017 (UTC) Remember my article of S4 robots who got a free pass through the first round due to the other two robots fighting 1-on-1? Maybe after this series, someone should do one on robots that were carried by their partner! Hogwild94 (talk) 17:30, August 1, 2017 (UTC) Yup CaliforniaKingsnake (talk) 01:20, August 2, 2017 (UTC) Bee-Capitator will get knocked out or damaged by Dome, but Firestorm will almost certainly come to the rescue and flip both of its opponents over. Raz3r(talk) 07:55, August 2, 2017 (UTC) Again, I doubt the damage potential of Dome, but unlike last time, both it and Diotoir are vulnerable to one-flip knockouts. Regardless of Bee-Capitator's involvement, Firestorm 3 will kindly deliver their flips of death... VulcansHowl 07:55, August 2, 2017 (UTC) Hopefully Bee-Capitator will at least stab Dome before the battle is decided by two flips. TOAST 22:39, August 2, 2017 (UTC) lol. Nweston8 (talk) 22:45, August 2, 2017 (UTC)	Votes for Dome & Diotoir
Winners: Bee-Capitator & Firestorm 3 (10-0)

King B Powerworks & Kronic 2 vs Axe-Awe & Granny's Revenge

King B Powerworks & Kronic 2	Axe-Awe & Granny's Revenge
Votes for King B Powerworks & Kronic 2 Were it not for Granny's Revenge, this might have been an interesting fight. Kronic 2 really was a limp piece of metal in series 5, completely outclassed by King B Powerworks. Axe-Awe might be better than Kronic, but with Granny's Revenge just begging to be flipped for a 2v1 fight, this can only go one way. Toon Ganondorf (t c) 04:20, August 3, 2017 (UTC) Axe-Axe will prove difficult but through careful driving and constant ramming then it will die under pressure and when (not if) Kronic come out it will make life much worse for Axe-Awe. Granny's Revenge is just dead.Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 06:01, August 3, 2017 (UTC) Granny is the weak link which is the decider. Jimlaad43(talk) 06:44, August 3, 2017 (UTC) The moment Granny's Revenge inevitably comes out, it's dead no matter who gets to it, and Axe-Awe just isn't strong enough to take down King B AND Kronic on its own. CrashBash (talk) 06:49, August 3, 2017 (UTC) King B may not like facing Axe-Awe, but it survived Dominator 2's axe and put up a decent fight. Axe-Awe seemed to have trouble with 'over-turning', a massive problem against a machine that'll punish a lack of manoeuvrability- King B stands a decent chance of taking it alone. Two on one, and Axe-Awe's toast. Combatwombat555 (talk) 10:56, August 3, 2017 (UTC) Imagine this in its most up-to-date form possible, King B Remix and BattleBots Chronic vs Iron-Awe 7 and... Granny's Revenge II. Granny's uselessness spans time itself. TOAST 11:26, August 3, 2017 (UTC) Have to admit, I was impressed with King B's performance against Kronic 2, and given Axe-Awe's lack of precision, I could easily see it ramming the latter around in the opening stages. Kronic 2 then comes round to land a few flips in for more aggression points... after throwing Granny onto the flames, of course. VulcansHowl 17:38, August 3, 2017 (UTC) King B here isn't outdated or anything, it's powerful. Kronic is just sort of there, but it is good nonetheless. CaliforniaKingsnake (talk) 22:43, August 3, 2017 (UTC) Granny's Revenge is going to be beaten so quickly, and Axe-Awe won't be able to provide a comeback route. It'll struggle to flip Kronic, and will have King B Powerworks nagging at its sides throughout. Nweston8 (talk) 12:19, August 4, 2017 (UTC)	Votes for Axe-Awe & Granny's Revenge I may have lost my sanity, but I'm backing the partnership with Granny. Axe-Awe, a machine with a capable axe and flipper, fights King B, a robot which didn't enjoy facing either, first. I see King B dying after suffering overhead and internal damage, and then Axe-Awe beating Kronic in ground clearance and reliability and armour, while Granny does...absolute jack. Raz3r(talk) 04:58, August 3, 2017 (UTC) Eh, Axe Awe can easily beat both opponents on its own. King B doesn't have the same precision as Panic Attack. BTW, can we assume that Granny's Revenge will be unable to continue into the next round, so shouldn't the team break out a reserve, like Purple Predator? Hogwild94 (talk) 17:31, August 3, 2017 (UTC)
Winners: King B Powerworks & Kronic 2 (9-2)

Wild Thing & Trouble 'n' Strife vs Mini Morg & Kat 3

Wild Thing & Trouble 'n' Strife	Mini Morg & Kat 3
Votes for Wild Thing & Trouble 'n' Strife Wild Thing might have struggled in melees, but it does have backup here. Mini Morg was at its worst this series, and will get pushed around easily by Wild Thing before being flipped over by Trouble 'n' Strife. Wild Thing beat Dominator 2, and can cause enough damage to Kat 3 along with Trouble 'n Strife's aggressive attacks to take this, though not without Kat 3 causing some damage to the top of Trouble 'n' Strife. Not to mention that Kat 3 struggled with self-righting before Series 7, so one or two flips from the green machine could finish the fight. Raz3r(talk) 05:05, August 3, 2017 (UTC) Meh, you call nearly every robot you don't like overrated, TG, often with no provocation. Therefore, your argument really doesn't convince me at all. In all seriousness, what are either Mini Morg and Kat 3 supposed to do to Wild Thing, let alone Trouble 'n' Strife? Kat 3 really wasn't even that great in Series 5, since it had no self-righting mechanism, and its axe seemed to get stuck at a certain degree after a while. If you want to actually beat Wild Thing, you kinda need your weapon purely to outscore it. As for Mini Morg, same deal. Yeah, it could probably use its lifter to overturn Wild Thing, but it never did. It just used its tiny little axe. Wild Thing could easily boss it around. And if Trouble 'n' Strife can keep itself in control, then this team has the severe advantage. CrashBash (talk) 05:11, August 3, 2017 (UTC) The much more powerful robots in my eyes, Mini Morg will be flipped or battered while Kat 3 has the easy to hit wheel guards and won't survive pressure from both machines.Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 06:06, August 3, 2017 (UTC) It doesn't really matter how bad T'n'S's weapons may be, Wild Thing can win this alone. Morg will die quickly, and Kat will lose some armour panels. Jimlaad43(talk) 06:47, August 3, 2017 (UTC) Mini Morg did not perform well in this series, and will be bossed by Wild Thing. Kat 3 will probably put up a better fight, but the wheel-protection looks like it'd take damage, and if Trouble 'n' Strife can come in from a side and get a good flip in it's all over. Combatwombat555 (talk) 11:00, August 3, 2017 (UTC) I don't disagree with TG's analysis of TnS for that would mean disagreeing with Peter Forsey himself, but the slow pace of Mini Morg vs Kat 3 doesn't suggest that they will be a very active team. TOAST 11:30, August 3, 2017 (UTC) Now matter how good Wild Thing and Trouble 'n' Strife's spinners actually were, they should be able to cause sufficient damage to win here. I mean, Major Tom wrecked this Kat 3's back end, lets not forget. Hogwild94 (talk) 17:32, August 3, 2017 (UTC) With Mini Morg's traction issues and cumbersome disposition, Wild Thing is going to have no trouble pushing it around at the start, possibly into the House Robots or the pit. Trouble 'n' Strife's disc will also cause some substantial damage, especially to Kat 3, providing that it can mitigate its own control issues. VulcansHowl 17:38, August 3, 2017 (UTC) Agree with this side. CaliforniaKingsnake (talk) 22:43, August 3, 2017 (UTC) Kat 3 vs. Mini Morg is one of the most pathetic fights of Series 5, and this version of Kat 3 is probably the single weakest robot after the weight increase to make a heat final. Wild Thing will probably take on Mini Morg and shunt that around, while Trouble 'n' Strife wrecks Kat 3's frail armour. Nweston8 (talk) 12:19, August 4, 2017 (UTC)	Votes for Mini Morg & Kat 3 This is the most interesting fight so far. Trouble 'n' Strife is by far one of the most overrated robots. Talking to Peter Forsey showed me that - the robot struggled to keep its weapon flash to the floor, it couldn't get friction on the arena floor, and it was back heavy on a weapon that was only useful if you drove into it. Mini Morg and Kat 3 are interesting in that Kat 3 has shielded wheels to prevent Wild Thing dominating it like it did Dominator 2, and Mini Morg isn't the sort of robot Wild Thing usually bosses around. Wild Thing also struggles in group battles, as shown in a loser's melee and Mayhem. If Trouble 'n' Strife is as small a fish as I think, Mini Morg and Kat 3 could take this one. Toon Ganondorf (t c) 04:23, August 3, 2017 (UTC)
Winners: Wild Thing & Trouble 'n' Strife (10-1)

Playoff

Mini Morg & Kat 3 vs Axe-Awe & Granny's Revenge

Mini Morg & Kat 3	Axe-Awe & Granny's Revenge
Votes for Mini Morg & Kat 3	Votes for Axe-Awe & Granny's Revenge For me, this came down to whether Granny's Revenge started out. If Granny had come out, one of the other two could beat it, forcing Axe Awe to have to pull something extraordinary off to win. But Axe Awe is a far better robot than Mini Morg or Kat 3 and can definitely handle them. Somehow, Granny's Revenge isn't making the Dud Final. Toon Ganondorf (t c) 14:05, August 5, 2017 (UTC) With Axe-Awe starting, I see them comfortably controlling Mini Morg, with Mini Morg having no reply and eventually being immobilised under sustained pressure. It's likely Kat 3 will take out Granny's Revenge, leaving a one v one with Axe-Awe, who can flip Kat 3 over and has the better axe anyway. Raz3r(talk) 14:14, August 5, 2017 (UTC) Mini Morg will be quite comfortably dealt with, and even if Kat 3 tries to come to its aid immediately, it won't be able to do anything itself. It's Axe-Awe all the way in this one. Nweston8 (talk) 14:15, August 5, 2017 (UTC) Honestly I was tempted to vote the other way but the winning factor in this tag team battle is Axe-Awe who is the Superior robot of the three and has the most powerful weapons.Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 15:22, August 5, 2017 (UTC) Morg will be rolled against a wall, Kat 3 will be annihilated by Granny axed by Axe-Awe. Jimlaad43(talk) 16:07, August 5, 2017 (UTC) Axe-Awe has the flipper to roll Mini Morg over constantly, and an axe which is more reliable than Kat 3's, if less accurate. Can this version of Kat 3 even self-right, I wonder? Granny's Revenge, on the other hand.... VulcansHowl 17:34, August 5, 2017 (UTC) Again, Axe Awe can easily beat both opponents on its own, which is just as well considering Granny's Revenge may well have not been fit to fight here after the first fight! Hogwild94 (talk) 17:57, August 5, 2017 (UTC)
Winners: Axe-Awe & Granny's Revenge (7-0)

Heat Final

Kronic 2 & King B Powerworks vs Trouble 'n' Strife & Wild Thing

Kronic 2 & King B Powerworks	Trouble 'n' Strife & Wild Thing
Votes for Kronic 2 & King B Powerworks	Votes for Trouble 'n' Strife & Wild Thing Trouble 'n' Strife may have its issues, but its still more competent than Kronic 2, and Wild Thing can more than compensate for any assistance King B Powerworks can offer. Toon Ganondorf (t c) 14:05, August 5, 2017 (UTC) A good set of robots for this competitive-looking fight, with damage likely being a big swinging factor in favour of this pair - whether that be in a Judges' decision or being able to knockout King B P/Kronic 2. Nweston8 (talk) 14:17, August 5, 2017 (UTC) King B's high ground clearance, the fact it can be easily pushed and its weak armour shows it'll be no match for the other pair. Kronic 2 may get one or two flips in on Wild Thing, but it won't be enough. Raz3r(talk) 14:23, August 5, 2017 (UTC) Yeah...Can't really think of much to say other than, easy win here.Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 15:23, August 5, 2017 (UTC) It's Wild Thing... Jimlaad43(talk) 16:08, August 5, 2017 (UTC) Kronic 2 is going to sustain a lot of damage while trying to flip Trouble 'n' Strife, while Wild Thing's tenacity and reliability are already well-established. King B Powerworks might be able to ram Wild Thing and damage the tyres as it tries to turn the tables round, but its own wheels could get damaged or ripped off easily if they come into contact with Trouble 'n' Strife's spinner, so.... VulcansHowl 17:34, August 5, 2017 (UTC) Both Wild Thing and Trouble 'n' Strife could beat King B and Kronic 1-on-1, so they should have little trouble dispatching them as a pair.

Stinger & Hippobotamus vs Guzunderbot & General Carnage 2

Stinger & Hippobotamus	Guzunderbot & General Carnage 2
Votes for Stinger & Hippobotamus Stinger isn't losing this. Guz and GC aren't powerful enough to properly control Stinger, who can use the mace to knock the opponents senseless. Jimlaad43(talk) 09:38, August 7, 2017 (UTC) I do agree with Toon Ganondorf that Stinger is not suited to group battles particularly well. However, General Carnage 2 is no Thermidor 2, as its flipper just does not open up as far as the lobster's does, and seems more exposed to attacks. Even if what happened in real-life does not apply here, Stinger should still dominate the flipper. As for the remaining two, Guzunderbot is slightly underrated in my opinion, and should be able to push and possibly topple Hippobotamus. However, a wedge is not really enough to defeat a slippery robot like Stinger, so even if it survives to a Judges' decision, it will fail to win. SpaceManiac888 (Talk) 10:29, August 7, 2017 (UTC)	Votes for Guzunderbot & General Carnage 2 Man I wish General Carnage 2 was starting against Hippobotamus, this would be so much easier. Stinger absolutely cannot fight group battles where its a legitimate target - being the fifth seed it has a target on its back that it never had before. General Carnage 2 conked out against Stinger, but here with Guzunderbot to distract and absorb half those blows, Stinger isn't going to do what it needs to recover from Hippobotamus' inevitable demise. It might even come down to Guzunderbot v Stinger, with both partners out cold. Toon Ganondorf (t c) 08:54, August 7, 2017 (UTC) Can name on one finger the number of group battles Stinger won after it reached the Grand Final of Series 4. Stinger isn't Hypno-Disc or Disc-O-Inferno, it can't beat two robots into submission by itself. GutripperSpeak 11:55, August 7, 2017 (UTC)
Winners:

Warhog & Napalm 2 vs Splinter & V.I.P.E.R. 01

Warhog & Napalm 2	Splinter & V.I.P.E.R. 01
Votes for Warhog & Napalm 2	Votes for Splinter & V.I.P.E.R. 01 Yuck, what a terrible fight this would be. Splinter to nudge Warhog into the arena wall for an instant KO and Napalm 2 to have no prospects of recovery. Toon Ganondorf (t c) 08:54, August 7, 2017 (UTC) Even if Warhog was spinning, Splinter could stop it. It was designed to try and survive Hypno-Disc after all. Jimlaad43(talk) 09:40, August 7, 2017 (UTC) Warhog will probably not break down in one single blow, as in theory only the full-body spinner was not working properly. However, I am taking a "realism rules" approach here, whereby not only will V.I.P.E.R. 01 be geared down, but also Warhog will not be spinning. Considering these aspects, Splinter shall have no trouble grabbing the spinner, and pitting it. Meanwhile, Napalm 2 will likely cause some decent damage and aggression against V.I.P.E.R. 01, but Splinter will sweep in and bash it, in a similar fashion to how Steg-O-Saw-Us did in Series 3.
