!!!!!!VERY MILD SPOILERS BELOW!!!!!!

Tauron (S10) vs Cobalt

Tauron

S10 - ’the less boaty one'


Cobalt

The diet Carbide which predates Carbide


Ryan has range


Valkyrie vs Or Te

Two robots


Concussion (S10) vs Lockjaw (2018)

Concussion

All versions combined


Lockjaw

Spinny Lockjaw rather than jaw-y Lockjaw
Concussion did actually knock Tracktion out (or critically damage it) in the 10-way rumble




HUGE vs The Kegs

HUGE

HUGE beat HUGE on a JD in the 2019 season


The Kegs

Delightfully odd




Escape Velocity vs The Ringmaster

Escape Velocity

Extra armour or minibot?


The Ringmaster

A reliable ring spinner?




Death Roll vs Apollo (S9)

Death Roll

An old argument comes full circle


Apollo

Re-versioning?

Re-versioning!






Red Devil (2018) vs Ironside 3 (S9)

Red Devil

Finding the average robot
The plow

And how it won’t ultimately help




Ironside 3

Re-versioning


6-1: “a bit one-sided”


Kraken vs Big Nipper

Kraken

So beautifully made it looks like a render


Big Nipper

Spinny, not grabby
