He did, but neither of his fights were aired. He didn't escape the round of 32.

That’s how you come back from the Olympic hiatus. Tombstone reaving a motherfucker.

Yes! Mega Tento knocked out like the punk ass it is.

Oh my God, I fucking hate Chomp! She has done nothing in all her fights, and keeps going through.

It's all luck that brought that thing this far, sheer dumb luck. That hammer of Chomp's broke the chain to Biteforce's weapon.

Personally, I think Biteforce was better off with the old design.

Absolutely hate how Nightmare lost the match to Beta, I believe Jim Smentowski would have won by a judge's decision if his bot hadn't flipped. Also, given how funky Beta's wedge design is, Tombstone is going to have a very hard time hitting it. The previews confirmed my suspicions when I caught a brief clip of Tombstone's blade slipping on the wedge upon impact and causing itself to somersault in the air. That is going to be an extremely interesting fight...

Meanwhile, I am going to cheer for Poison Arrow, I hope that bot beats Bombshell and makes its way to the championship. The team leader is a very friendly looking guy. I reeeeeeeeeally don't expect Poison Arrow to beat Minotaur or Bronco though...

It's that stupid new rule about the main weapon hits. She landed one hit, and that won her the match.

Yeah, Tombstone got screwed. Beta couldn't even land a hit.

Still pulling for my dawg, Tombstone. Love to see him and Minotaur meet up, though.

Well, Minotaur is seemingly unstable when that drum is up to full speed, I feel like that would cause some very bad side effects if flipped by Bronco. This season is too wild for me to make speculations though lol... it might boil down to Yeti and Minotaur or Tombstone and Bronco. For all we know, Chomp and Poison Arrow's luck might carry them to fight each other in the Championships. The remaining bots are really good ones.

Also, in the match with Poison Arrow vs Hypershock, did you see the little green thing squirming on the starting box...? I wanted to know what the hell that was.

You saw that too? I thought I was imagining that thing.

Ameriganastan wrote:You saw that too? I thought I was imagining that thing.

I don't know what it is, I tried the wiki, official Battlebots site, and even Arrow.com and found nothing. More technical details covering the bot were on Reddit, they implied that it's a mini-bot and has a "tail" and basically does nothing but flop there. I am sure there's SOME reason behind its existence.

Oh, I found out Poison Arrow's drone is named Buzz! Buzz is very fortunate to avoid the garden rake.

Season 2 wraps up tonight. My top pick to win the Nut is Tombstone. But I wouldn't put Minotaur past the big upset and taking it all.

Ha ha! No bullshit judge decision or lucky hit to save you this time, Chump. Go home.

Tombstone tore his ass up. No way that judge decision will go against him. beta only fired his hammer like, once.

Ohhhhh boy, waiting on the judges' decision about Tombstone vs Beta...

I hope they pick Tombstone.

EDIT: Ohhhhhhh, they did!!!!

Oh, man. Minotaur is going against Bronco. I like both of them...

Ameriganastan wrote:Oh, man. Minotaur is going against Bronco. I like both of them...

I would pick Minotaur over Bronco on that one, just out of preference, really.

About to watch Poison Arrow fight Bombshell, I hope PW wins. I like the friendly charm of the team behind Poison Arrow.

Man, he made Poison Arrow his bitch.

I really wanted Poison Arrow to win... and Bombshell was obviously trying to hit the drone lol

Oh well, as if Bombshell could beat Minotaur or Bronco.

Holy shit, dude. He turned that Bronco into a gelding.

I feel sorry for Bombshell, he gets to fight that little beast next.

I don't. I want his lard ass out, so I can see my dream final of Tombstone and Minotaur happen.

Fuck! There goes my dream final.

Um... I have no words for Bombshell's victory.

I have a few. Dead man. Cause Tombstone is gonna rip him to shreds when he's done with Yeti.

Barring any odd intervention of a definitely biased divine power, I'd say Tombstone would tear through Yeti and Bombshell for sure.

I reeeeeeeeally hope we get to see a rumble tonight.
