I wanted Overhaul to win just to piss off reddit

[Thyrus]

I'm really unsure if Icewave is going to win against Ghosty

Called it :/

[RedAce]

Aww, that was too short, but damn, that was a smart move by Chuck.

[Jarvis_Rapture]

Ghost Raptor is gonna beat Icewave
Calling it right now

Called it

[Natef]

I had a feeling Chuck would come out on top. Well done!

Episode review:

-Tombstone's vs witch doctor, woooooooow that was epic.
-Bronco vs Stinger very good match, didn't know there were empty flip out zones.
-Very genius move by Chuck. Hope he's got something to foil Bite Force.
-Overhaul vs Bite Force very close match, enjoyed it thoroughly.

Match predictions:

Tombstone vs. Bronco: I think, Bronco takes it. I hate to say it, cause I love tombstone but I just can't se Bronco getting beaten. It's built like a tank, and if Witch doctor, a smaller, lighter bot can take Tombstone's hits, why can't Bronco?

Ghost Raptor vs. Bite Force: If Ghost Raptor has nothing except it's lifter going into the fight, I expect nothing but total domination for Bite Force. But, who knows? Maybe Chuck might pull something out of his sleeve.

Maybe a net.

Definitely the best episode of the series so far

Witch Doctor probably would've won against Tombstone had they not been flipped.

With how this episode went, I can't wait to see what the battlebots update article will look like.

Wow, Ghost Raptor won a fight without the other robot malfunctioning.

Next two fights will be close. I don't think those wheelguards of Bronco can hold it together, but if they can the rest of the bot is basically a tank and could beat Tombstone.

Bite Force has much more traction, a better driver, and a better weapon, but who knows with Ghost Raptor.

Agreed. Can't wait to read about the old Battlebots too

[Cody Furlong]

I must say that was very surprising final match, was expecting that bot to go to the finals.

[Dexterhunter]

no more mit people, i can die peacefully now

[ecolusian]

r.i.p witch doctor, you shall be missed... by me at least =p

I really enjoyed this episode above the rest. All matches were very exciting/interesting in their own right.

Biteforce is definitely looking like the winner of the whole thing, now. They can get under GR easily, which means they have pretty much won and I believe they can defeat either Tombstone or Bronco, no matter which one goes through.

Really surprised Tombstone's weapon was shattered clean off like that. It's not as if it's a flimsy bar like Ghost Raptor's, which was made in two parts. Witch Doctor have seriously impressed me with the power of that spinner. Makes you think, they could have beaten Tombstone if they didn't land like they did. I now have much more respect for the Witch Doctor team and am glad they were given the wildcard, now.

To me it looked like WDs weapon stoped working even before the last hit of tombstone. So it would have become a pushing match

That's true but Witch Doctor has the shape and design to win the pushing part of the match.

...Stinger ; - ;

[Philippa]

Goddammit I just lost my two favourite robots. Rest in peace Witch Doctor and Icewave.

I was pretty disappointed with the Bronco/Stinger match, I really wanted it to be a big tussle with lots of flipping and slamming, but you can't have everything. At least I was right about the attachment

I really want to know what would have happened if Witch Doctor had put in Shaman as a wedge.

Also, I saw a flash frame of Icewave vs Hypershock in the Super Tease video, anyone know what that could be from? Grudge matches? Rumble maybe?

[Thyrus]

I saw a Bronco vs Beta card but I doubt it will happen

[ACAMS]

Is there I video out yet of Tombstone vs Witch Doctor ...... got home late and missed it!
