Off-Topic Discussion / Re: Tommy's Lego Bots.

Welcome back to Bot Wars! This isn’t an official tournament, just a test run.
(Ok, it’s pretty much a serious tournament, I admit.)
First and foremost, the rules and format should be brought up before going to our first episode:
The tournament format is the same as season 8 of Battlebots, a fight-night format with a main event each episode. My tourney will have 4 fights per episode. The rules to win a match are simple: Beat the ever-loving crap out of your opponent in a K’nex arena until either they’re immobilized, destroyed, out of the arena, or until the 5-to-7 minutes are up. 1v1 fights are 5 minutes, and 1v1v1 fights are 7 minutes. Bots who pin opponents eventually have to let go after 10 seconds.
Hazards in the arena include some wall-saws on the north and south walls of the arena (they don’t do much) The MAIN hazard is the house robots, which I stole from Robot Wars, and tweaked to be more effective as lego combat robots. They are-
-SHUNT
This horned beast features bigger horns, an axe that can double as a srimech, a wider lifting plow, reinforced wheel-guards, a lack of a rear plow, and lastly, some giant-ass horns in order to guarantee that if he’s flipped, he lands directly on top of his axe, making it possible to self-right (this wouldn’t work in real life…)
-MATILDA
Looking like a pig with wings, Matilda has her classic tusk configuration and a black body with srimech “wings” to help with self-righting. She also features rusty spinning metal bar that I found on the street. Doesn’t spin fast, but it hits harder than any other vertical spinner I’ve equipped her with.
-SERGEANT BASH
I have NO idea what his design is based off of anymore, but whatever. Back in blue to leave you black and blue, he features a HUGE crushing jaw augmented by a sturdy scoop. He also features an elongated flame-thrower that can double as a sri-mech. ATTEEEEENTION!
-DEAD METAL
Dead Metal returns with his saw system, which is STILL useless. Regardless, he can clamp on to even the deadliest of bots with those solid pincers of his, and with his new self-righting tail, he’s less defenseless than ever!
-SIR KILLALOT
Bigger than ever before, he can’t self-right but doesn’t need to. Armed with stronger arms and his trusty lance-and-claw setup, he’s the king of cruelty in all of Bot Wars. He’s also decked-out l=to look like a spaceship because I was low on parts and ideas at the time.
-MR PSYCHO
The craziest of the house robots, still with the menacing hammer and claws combo. Featuring wheels and a giant plow that’s only red because that’s the only color I could find the parts in. His hammer strikes harder and heavier this time around, so you best watch out.
-GROWLER
The doggy of hell returns (no, not Cerberus.) Finally featuring a set of jaws durable enough to take on anything, this bot is a literal brick on wheels and comes equipped with a srimech.
-CASSIUS CHROME
Once a total joke, this bot was long since been revised in lego form to be better, but now, he’s one of the big three. The big three being Killalot, Psycho, and now, Cassius Chrome, who might actually be the HEAVIEST house robot now. He has punching piston arms that can move up and down, a 4 wheel drive system and hefty plow that may-or-may-not be vulnerable to hammers.
Alright, enough talk, now it's time to actually do some robot fighting. I'll post up "episode" 1 later today, Just gotta do it first.
Here's the fights for episode 1 btw. Leave your predictions on the winners below!
Main Event: Zerschlagen VS Nonja
Other Matches:
Snappin' Dragon VS Blue Moose 2.0
White Privilege VS Debra
Circuit Chipper VS Snappin' Dragon VS Junko
