What Robot Am I Describing? (Or: Avalanche Can't Give Things Good Names Thread)

[Avalanche]

Alright, so in one of the discords I use, we were playing a game, and i figured it could work here also. So here goes:

Somebody asks a question that has a robot (we did it with robot wars robots, but RA2/Battlebots works too) as the answer. For example, "This robot was immobilised by a opponent before the match actually started" could be the question, and the answer would be Flippa, after not making it to the arena when Ewe 2's driver tried to brush aside it's aerial just before the match started and the aerial came off. Whoever got the answer would then say their own question, and everyone would guess the answer.

Note that if you want to branch out from just "this robot did X, what is it" questions, I don't mind, but PM me first so we can see if it will work.

I'll start with the first question: This robot is the only robot in Robot Wars that was given a free pass into the world championships without winning a battle prior.

[Jammy Dodger]

mastiff

[Badger]

TR2

[Shield]

Chain of impending DOOM

[Gulden]

Razer weren't it?

[Philippa]

Flensburger Power (shouldn't have qualified because it didn't win the German Melee) or Rawbot (Zeus pulled out of its qualifier).

[playzooki]

razzor

[WeN]

john the emergency

[F1Krazy]

Killerhurtz?

[Dreamcast]

Cerberus

Cerberus was scheduled to fight Mauler, but Mauler was barred from competing due to safety concerns.
Unless those fights weren't called qualifying matches.

[Asbestosstar]

This robot made a full body spinner's shell fall off, and, it fought on tv, in battle bots.

[Silverfish]

This robot made a full body spinner's shell fall off, and, it fought on tv, in battle bots.

I'm not very proficient in battlebots, idk, ziggo?

[FightingBotInformal]

Double Agent, of course.

Note that you are only allowed to ask a question if you correctly answered the previous question.

Now. Mastiff, Rawbot and Flensburger Power are all legitimate answers. I was thinking of Rawbot, because it's qualifier with Zeus was cancelled, and it lost in the European championship. Flensburger Power and Mastiff are both correct, but I hadn't thought of those.

Razer is technically incorrect, because it beat Backstabber, Techno-Lease, Prometheus (by Default, if I remember correctly) and Diotoir. Then again, all those fights happened in the same series, so u'll just give the answer the benefit of the doubt.

Killerhurtz is technically incorrect, because it got through the trial and gauntlet. But that's highly pedantic (and not a fight persay) so I'll give it a pass.

If I had specified Qualifier, the question would have been too easy, but it did **** up the formatting allowing for multiple answers.

As Kurt said two of the correct answers simultaneously, he had more correct answers than Jamie. However, Jamie got a correct answer before Kurt did. Gulden also gave a pretty much correct answer, as the matchups for the First World Championships were most likely decided before Razer beat anyone.

EDIT:  F1Krazy also got one right. Bollocks. He's also in the Tiebreaker.

As they both all have claims to the next question, here is a tiebreaker. The first person out of the two to get it right (and include the next question they would like to ask in their answer) wins.

The question is: Which is the only team that applied to Series 8 of Robot Wars to be rejected without receiving a call informing them of their unsuccessful application?

Oh, and thanks for all the meme answers guys. 10/10. (TR2? Seriously?)


TL;DR: Gulden, Jamie, Kurt and F1Krazy all had legit answers, because i'm sh** at making precise questions. Great start to the thread, I know. All 3 of you have a tiebreaker: "Which is the only team that applied to Series 8 of Robot Wars to be rejected without receiving a call informing them of their unsuccessful application?"

[Mr. AS]

definitely TR2

[Enigm@]

killer queen

[Gulden]

VT wasn't it? The one that was in the intro but never fought?
