Annihilation Nation - SBV and Awards (COMPLETED)

[Avalanche]

After Action Report:

The wrong opponent for Raus. I wanted to see how the change in drive motors would effect Raus, as it turns out: It's even slower, so Dominotrix had ****-all to worry about, and Domino picked the longest reaching blades to punt me about the arena with, though even if he'd used the other weapons he'd still have won. Also, the E-wedge getting torn off immediately was pretty funny but also a bad sign for the rumble.

I'll wait till the rumble to pass judgement on Raus Mk. II's overall performance.

ahem

exists you know that right?

if what sylandro posted plus the fact kurt directly quoted me didn't tip you off that my robot ate sh**, how?

Welp, I finally recorded the Mayhems and Tag Teams! Took my bloody time there. ;P

[doot]

double post
The first part of the rumbles is up, featuring many returning robots and new ones alike!

>tfw Crash almost wins a fight

[jdg37]

Great match Jamie. And It's hard not to cheer for Crash.

[Philippa]

Tankslapper being as good as it ever was, and even spontaneously dying. Most realistic replica 2k17.

[NeonCalypso]

to my expectations Wrecks actually performed decently

[Dark-Al]

Well that new Tortuga stills performs well in Rumbles just as well as it looks, ripped most of the aluminium extenders off my Hell-Spawn clean off along with Jamie's Chaotic Reaction damaging the chassis. Special thanks to Jdg37 for the suggestion for the match and I'll be back with something better than Hell-Spawn 1.2.

[Jammy Dodger]

twas a great battle.

I was thinking that Hell Spawn would flip me out as you could of OOTA'ed me gg to all

Nahh, Hell Spawn is too slow to get a good run up for a OOTA due to Demon asking me to swap the NPC Drive motors for TWM3Rs which other wise, would of over turned Hell-Spawn. Due to this, it allows faster bots like Chaotic Reaction to get a good run up to start spinning to damage Hell Spawn near to the centre of the Arena. Even if Hell Spawn did get a Flip, it properly wouldn't go that far due to me not testing the Flipper on any other middle-weight bots before hand.But Still I hope Hell-Spawn at least tries in the other Grudge Matches.

[doot]

The grudge matches end as the other 5 rumbles appear!


FINAL RUMBLE: The Rules:
Due to the number of robots (40 as of now), 2 robots will be eliminated from each battle instead of just one. The reserves will not appear for this rumble.
When the rumble has 4 robots left, then only one will get eliminated each battle until 1 remains.
The robots will be judged by the same criteria as before in the event that the match lasts the full 3 minutes.
EXPLOSIVE MODE: After 60 seconds has passed, Havok explosions can occur in the match regardless of severity.

For the last time in this tournament, builders using modular robots have got 24 hours to give me their choices. As per usual, only one weapon/robot module can be used for the entirety of the rumble.

[TheRoboteer]

Some solace for Feelgood in that fight, though it still failed to live up to the "Can OOTA Opponents" on its statcard, though it did come close a couple of times.

[Dark-Al]

Well, that was embarrassing. Still had a few good grudge matches though on the other hand. Back to drawing board for me.

[doot]

Bit of a bump, but Modular robot builders have got about 5 hours left to send me their module choices! If there is no choice sent, then I will either go with the default version of each robot or just give an extra 12 hours for decisions!

[doot]

Time to end this tournament once and for all with the mother of all rumbles!" 40 robots enter, but only one leaves...
(NOTE: The Explosive Mode timer was decreased to 45 seconds when recording.)

[Dark-Al]

Congratulations Jamie on your victory in the rumble! Hell Spawn on the other hand was terrible, in fact I would put a reaction video in here but the video I found doesn't get to the reaction line till 0:21 in the video, after a long speech about the "Reason why you suck". The UK Apprentice if you need to know. But as I keep saying, it's was a pleasure to enter my first tournament on GTM, Thanks Demon.

Best Robot: Tortuga Ninja/ Tortuga 2: Just read my previous comments on this board and you'll see why.
Worst Robot: I would put Hell Spawn here due to being useless but I can't because I can't vote for myself. So It's got to be Red Claw: What No BFEing? The Rules did state that a builder could BFE. But did this builder have anything that allows them to edit the Bot file? Despite it's
weaponry, it could of looked ascetically better, said the person who poorly skinned his bot.
Coolest Robot:Subterfuge: Love the paint job for Subterfuge and the weaponry but overall, the paint job makes this bot stand out.
Luckiest Robot: SkellaChopper: I was expecting that this bot would fall in the earlier rounds but surprisingly, it got through by not doing much.
Unluckiest Robot: Paris Train: It look like Paris Train could of gone to the later rounds, but strong match-ups prevented it from going through.
Most Destructive: Dominotrix: I don't care if ShootingPost called it junk with Eyeballs, the use of the Vlad spears and interchangeable weaponry made this opponent, a force to be reckoned with.
Least Realistic: Spoider: If this was IRL, it fail the safety inspection due to the motors being not only greatly exposed, but also the exposed wiring if bots in this game had to be wired with game wires as well.
Funniest Robot: The Sneaky Pole: No comment
Most boring Robot:The Sneaky Pole: It's funny at first, but the Sneaky Pole rumble was way too boring for my liking.
Best Battle: The First match in the reserve rumble possibly?
Edit: Fixed some grammar mistakes and included best battle.
