That section of the quadrant is now more interesting as unproven veterans and plucky newcomers will battle it out for the final four. Poison Arrow joins Red Devil in being the underdogs and thanks to the both of them, the third quadrant is now wiiiiiide open. Regardless, at least he went out with a huge BANG and not through some dumb thing like radio trouble. It’s a shame that such an iconic robot continues to lose matches. Son of Whyachi’s unfortunate losing streak continues this season.

Still though, gotta love how the builders of EV dressed up like hardcore nerds. Tombstone just chewed through him like he was another meal. Even though “honeycomb armor” was promised it certainly did not deliver.

Again, looking forward to seeing RB in the next round!Īfter this fight, people on reddit called EV “Walmart Bronco” and I’m not surprised. That fight against SoW must’ve really hurt him hard. Poor GR just didn’t have the power necessary to chew through Rb. Rb is like Complete Control 2.0! Strongly designed, able to right itself easily and very maneuverable, Rb is a great battlebot. Razorback has jumped up in favorites for me as I just love how efficiently designed this robot is. Suplex! If Warhead vs CC was the best battle then the suplex was probably the best move for this episode. I hope you go far man, (my bracket is already busted at this point so who cares!). But man, Warhead is just nuts with his moves! I love it! And the best part is that Warhead has proven himself worthy after beating a worthy opponent. It certainly highlights the biggest weakness for flame robots and their vulnerability to their own weapon. Warhead gave possibly the best defeat this season through not only slicing open Complete Control but catching him on fire. But seriously, the announcers got this right when they compared this fight to Rocky II when the fighters were so badly beaten and just need to move in order to win.

Flames, collisions, and a break-dancing robot tied everything together nicely. This was probably the craziest battle yet this season and I LOVED IT.

Episode Five was definitely the upset episode as three out of the four matches had a lower seed beating an upper seed with one of the matches beating a top eight seed! This was a good episode with crazy fights and awesome moves.
