wowww fially got to see the first episode. kinda confused by the warrior clan bit, thought k.o.ing half a multibot puts it out for the count? they had a third there. maybe its just me really wanting to see nightmare move on, I mean holy hell it looked more destructive than ever. the blade never had the torque to really carry it across the floor and just keep ****in spinning like that before, I mean oooooh. I would've very much liked that.and wrecks is a ****ing hell of a cool design. loss or not that's a new favorite of mine easy. also, im guessing only heavyweights are being televised in this season? odd and a little upsetting... well, at least it's back on tv. and those fights were ill

oh wait a second hold up complete control was a middleweight

You don't really have to spoiler Episode 1 at this point, enough time's passed.

The multibot rule of KO'ing "half" the bot is measured by weight, so that dead minibot meant that the robot was only 6% dead.

They didn't even have separate weight classes this season; 24 heavyweights taking part, and that was it. Complete Control used to be a MW, now they've rebuilt it to be a HW.

I like how HardcoreRay sounds like a pornstar :P
Would you be interested in some kind of little q&a thread about your bot team and the current BB season ray?

Ray is an awesome guy.

he gets my jokes and doesn't afraid of anything

Anyone else consider this? If Ghost Raptor got a replacement blade for its fight tomorrow night... That adjustable-height weapon gives it a unique advantage. With long enough reach, it could hit Icewave's engine and cause a hilarious upset.

There could still be an upset because Icewave might flip itself against that wedge, but it will be more of a disappointing upset.

People seem to be predicting victory for Icewave, but I think it's too close to call.

Also Stinger vs. Bronco is going to be awesome and may just decide the outcome of the whole event, given that Stinger is possibly the only bot with a good chance of beating Tombstone. (Other bots have a chance, but I wouldn't say a GOOD chance.) If Bronco wins, it's removing a major obstacle from Tombstone's path.

El Chickenado · « **Reply #866 on:** July 12, 2015, 12:07:40 PM »

i think bronco could beat tombstone due to tombstone having some gyroscopic issues when tipped. ghost raptor probably wont get their weapon working so i predict they lose. I still believe bite force could pull out an unexpected victory if driven well.

I believe in Stinger. #PlumberPower!

Resetti's Replicas · « **Reply #868 on:** July 12, 2015, 01:25:38 PM »

I laughed a little when they sold Stinger as the underdog because he's a plumber

Tweedy · « **Reply #869 on:** July 12, 2015, 01:40:43 PM »

Realistically there are 3 bots that can reliably beat Tombstone IMO, those being Bronco, Stinger, and Bite force. because of that Tombstone has an uphill struggle after it's inevitable win against radioactive as it is going to face at least one of those two. I'm also predicting that Bite Force will win over Hypershock and beat Icewave by way of either tipping it over or controlling the whole fight like we saw vs warhead. So in my eyes Tombstone is going to have a hard time winning, even more so if it comes up against bite force as it has one advantage that the others don't, the way it deals with spinners doesn't affect it's main weapon as the wedge is on the back.

Ghost Raptor is gonna beat Icewave
Calling it right now

Natef · « **Reply #871 on:** July 12, 2015, 02:16:04 PM »

I was talking to a friend of mine last week and he said Bite Force's wedge will get removed by Tombstone if they meet.

Yes.

I don't understand why people would compare Chomp's design to Razer. It resembles Chompalot more than anything, even down to the name.

Resetti's Replicas · « **Reply #875 on:** July 12, 2015, 06:30:29 PM »

Because of a narrow scope; most of them don't remember much from RW besides Hypno Disc, Sir Killalot, and Razer.

I kinda hoped for the other bot winning but maybe thats better for it since the other one has to face HardcoreStone
