Robot History[]
Season 2.0[] |
---|
War Machine vs. One Tin Soldier War Machine's first bout was against One Tin Soldier. Both robots drove out and One Tin Soldier hit War Machine with its spikes, doing no damage. War Machine then utterly dominated One Tin Soldier, slamming it into the wall, pushing it into the killsaws and the pulverizer, and just driving One Tin Soldier around. Eventually, One Tin Soldier lost drive power in one wheel, and then time ran out. War Machine won a unanimous 45-0 judges' decision to advance to the second round. |
War Machine vs. Snake In the next round, War Machine took on Snake. In this battle, War Machine waited until Snake inched toward the center, then rammed Snake in its midsection against the wall. It kept ramming Snake as Snake tried to attack, and smoke started coming out of Snake. Eventually, Snake gave up and attempted to attack the pulverizer as it was counted out. War Machine won the fight by KO and advanced to the quarter-finals. |
War Machine vs. DooAll Now in the final eight, War Machine fought DooAll. War Machine was the clear dominator in this match, slamming DooAll around the arena. Both robots did some pushing, however, and the match lasted the whole three minutes where a 38-7 judges' decision advanced War Machine to the semi-finals. |
War Machine vs. Diesector In this semi-final match, War Machine faced Diesector. After both robots attempted to get under each other and took a shot from the killsaws, Diesector wedged underneath War Machine and lifted it onto its back against the wall. Unable to move, War Machine was counted out. Diesector won the fight by KO and War Machine was eliminated from the tournament. |
Superheavyweight Royal Rumble War Machine wasn't finished, however, as it was one of nine robots to enter the Superheavyweight Royal Rumble and it performed well. It was one of only two competitors still alive at the end, but lost the judges' decision to Toro. |
