Black Dragon is also fast, so this will come down to a battle of driving.Īlso I guess that fucking “STREAM WHAT YOU LOVE” overlay ad for Discovery+ isn’t going to go away so my apologies for it being in all of the video stills for this article. Claw Viper is perhaps the fastest robot in the field this year which is something that will definitely work to its advantage here.
Even though HiJinx seemed to die mostly analogous to what Claw Viper was doing it was still a hell of a fight we got to see Claw Viper do a kickflip off of HiJinx’s rear chassis and also do peelouts all over the arena. HiJinx was Claw Viper’s previous opponent and while HiJinx eventually just broke down and stopped working that wasn’t until after Claw Viper’s weaponry had been bent sideways and incapacitated. Black Dragon is here at 1-0 but only just barely and whatever it is the “selection committee” is looking for probably won’t value the Kraken win highly so a strong showing is mandatory for the Brazilian team in this fight.Ĭlaw Viper is a bot also coming in at 1-0 but it suffered a lot more damage getting here than its opponent has. We’ve already crossed that bridge back in episode one of the season so I won’t retread it, but Black Dragon had better just thank its lucky stars that the judging criteria for this season appears to be written in a language few people understand. It did however win its previous fight against Kraken with a decision that “controversial” barely begins to describe. Goddamned Mandela effect.Īside from having a redundant weapon belt yanked out of its maw in its previous battle Black Dragon hasn’t sustained much damage thus far. The main event is Kraken vs Witch Doctor which somehow feels like a rematch even though it isn’t one. Everyone’s – or possibly no one’s, I really don’t know – favorite sabertooth cat aims to bet the farm against Jackpot, Huge has big hopes of turning things around on Hydra, and we finally get to see the debut of the strange-looking robots Grabot and Aegis. My money’s riding on Claw Viper and Lock-Jaw, of course, but that’s only because I know Big Dill can’t lift worth shit and Black Dragon thus far has only squeaked by on a controversial split decision.
Malice blew Shatter’s axe to pieces and won by decision, Mad Catter overpowered Ribbot for the win, and Bloodsport did End Game dirty by detonating all of End Game’s batteries for a brutal main event KO.Ĭoming up this episode we have two more of those “1-0 and someone’s gotta lose” fights: Claw Viper vs Black Dragon, and Lock-Jaw vs The Big Dill. From there we saw a few crosses of 1-0 robots where someone was going to make it to 2-0 and someone was going to fall to 1-1. Craig Danby’s Slammow brought it, set it on the table, and fucking opened it with a decisive KO victory over Pain Train. Anyways last week Tombstone bounced back in a non-main event match against Slap Box where we learned that no, Slap Box is not just Duck with an ostensibly better and more avant garde paint job.
