I really like Kurt's Iggy, and am already supporting it.

Come on, Lance-a-Frog!

I think I have a good chance in SHW and LW.
Predictions: Bye, Crasp Drone Jr., Oizys, My First SHW :)

Of course. Would you expect anything less?

Scrap Daddy is entering all his old robots just a heads up.

some beauties in there.

I think that I'm in good standings in the MW division, elsewhere I probably won't have much success unless Mechanical Bull pulls a razor-guy.

Predictions for Team Bad Habits.....

Psiren (LW) - Fodder. Will be outweaponed by many, and slammed around by the others. Too unstable. Round 1 defeat.

Grim (MW) - Depends on the draw. Probably a mid-level machine compared to some of the more 'nooby' and joke robots, but will be battered by some very good looking experience. (Looking at Biologic Assault, Chief Kamachi and a couple of others...)

Atomsmasher (HW) - If it can get up to speed quick enough, I think it'll be fine against most of the opposition. If a blow disrupts the spin and a quicker machine gets in before it can recover, I'm screwed though.

The Sting (SHW) - I'm crap at superheavies. Always end up spending too much weight on making it look pretty. There are HWs that would beat it. Would take a very lucky draw to get out of Round 1.

General Predictions:

LW - Bad Wedge Blues, obviously. I want to say Billet 5, but Bye just looked too strong last time around. Title defence.

MW - Chief Kamachi to also defend it's title. Not sure who could beat it out of that lot.

HW - Highlander III, Contender and Arsonist will all be up there. Hurricane might prove to be a dark horse again, with some luck. I want to say Highlander III.

SHW - Don't know much about superheavies, but Badnik's ridiculous amount of beaters seemed to do the trick in Helloface's tournament, so I'll hazard a guess on Whirlytronic.

Premature Awards For Looking Badass:

LW - Jupiter 2 and resPAwn2 get honorable mentions, but come on, Stormageddon 2 is just boss.

MW - Taur 2 looks great. So does Biologic Assault. My favourite is the classic though. Arise, Sir Lance-A-Frog!

HW - Ehhh. Standard seems a little lower here. My pick is Hephaestus for the originality. What are those wheels?

SHW - Orsimer Warrior and Super Komodo have sick skins, but gaffhexagonbladehblahblah makes up for the ridiculous name by looking sweeeeeeeeeeet.

Looking at the MW Bracket, it looks as if Hysteria might just have a chance.

Unless I get shredded by Chief Kamachi in Round 3.

Merrick · « **Reply #13 on:** July 29, 2013, 08:47:00 PM »

Night Lurker and Junkyard Warrior? Crap.

Team #yoloswag#Naryarswag

Y.O.L.O:will proble go out at Round of 16 but thats if stormaggedon 2 faces me other then that i think it may make it to round of 8

S.W.A.G:looking at the draws im going to say round of 16 but i might be wrong seeing that its weapon is very strong and it has T5

#1337H@><: Unstable when it hits anything and it turns it self into to a helicopter round of 16 or 8

#yoloswag420:Very slow spin up speed but when it hits both bot will go flying

SHW predictions coming soon

Whirlytronic is a HW in the SHW weight class, and stands little chance unless I get matched up against a joke bot.

Havik's bot is literally just Backyard Shredder with two ripping teeth, and I rejected all of Mr. AS' bots from LDAI, meaning I don't think they're IRL enough.

Going to lose instantly in MW and SHW. LW I might win, and HW looks like a pretty easy matchup.

Shield · « **Reply #16 on:** July 29, 2013, 09:58:07 PM »

Hurricane 2 is facing Sandslash?

Funny considering how Backyard Shredder was Hurricane's punching bag back in testing

dragonsteincole · « **Reply #17 on:** July 29, 2013, 11:08:01 PM »

Not feeling terribly confident about any of my matches. Opponents all look perfectly matched to be more effective than my own.

COOLRUNNER87 · « **Reply #18 on:** July 29, 2013, 11:11:18 PM »

Here's to hoping that Flood 2.05/Flood w/o metal hinges does alright. Can't have the winner of BB3's MW division go out so easily...

helloface · « **Reply #19 on:** July 29, 2013, 11:17:47 PM »

LW: Maybe if I can knock off a shell plate I can win, but other then that, I'll probably get flipped.
MW: It will be a close fight, but I think my plow and flamethrower will be the deciding factors.
HW: No chance in hell.
SHW: One of the few decent SHWs. If I can flip him and land some blows while he's down, or pin him, I might have a chance.
