Special congrats goes to... (yes, spoilers)


... Ghost Raptor. It muddled through an entire fight weaponless and scored a knock out. Scrappy little thing, good job making it this far.

Unfortunately, your next opponent is Ice Wave. If you don't have a weapon again by then, that's as far as you will go.

If you buy a ticket for a remake, you are the problem, not Hollywood.

If only his weapon was as sturdy as the rest of the bot

Still surprised they didn't have a spare. You'd think this was their first rodeo.

Sounds stupid but maybe he didn't think it would break.

If you're right, he deserved to lose. ;)

That fight emphasizes one of the biggest weaknesses for bots with spinning blades as their weapons. Every time you hit your opponent, your blade takes a similar hit back. They eat up poorly armored vehicles, but if you face an opponent that is heavily armored, and your blade isn't sturdy enough, you can end up hurting yourself more than your opponent.

I'm very interested in seeing how Tombstones blade will do against Bronco, assuming they both advance. Bronco seems to be the most well armored vehicle in the tournament, and should be able to take the most hits.
