The Battlebots Finale

So I am an idiot and somehow didn't realize that the last episode was the finale. Don't know how I messed that one up, but whatever. At this point, I don't think spoilers apply, but I say it anyway: spoilers.

 

So, it was only four fights I didn't watch, so I don't have to do much writing. First, Tombstone VS Yeti. Now, Yeti had one chance, and that was if they were able to immobilize Tombstone by taking out it's wheels. At the start, they had a chance, but they didn't take it. Tombstone was able to take out most of their wheels. However, Tombstone couldn't get to all of them, because Yeti was able to disable Tombstones blade. However, with only one and a half wheels left, they couldn't do anything. Tombstone won, but they did suffer a fair amount of damage. Next up, Minotaur VS Bombshell. This fight surprised me. Bombshell went with their vertical spinner again, which was a good choice. In the beginning, Minotaur was leading, taking of small bits and pieces of Bombshell and speeding around it. There weapons collided a couple times, but nothing happened much except for once. Minotaur and Bombshell ended up both speeding into each other, and Bombshell delivered an uppercut directly into Minotaur's spinner. It broke something, and only one of Minotaur's wheels was functional. Minotaur drove around a bit on the one wheel, but eventually they couldn't continue, and Bombshell took them out. It was unexpected, but a very good fight. As Bombshell and Tombstone were gearing up for the Championship match, the three bot rumble took place between Witch Doctor, Bite Force, and (surprisingly) Wrecks. Bite Force and Witch Doctor have very similar weapons, so Bite Force's superior driving skills gave it the one up on Witch Doctor. They beat Witch Doctor around while Wrecks did it's flaily thing near the wall. A few times, Bite Force hit Witch Doctor into Wrecks, throwing Witch Doctor around, eventually out of the arena. It was fun to watch, but a little sad to see my favorite robot tossed around. After Witch Doctor was disable, Bite Force made short work of Wrecks, who still hadn't really moved. Finally, the championship. I didn't have really any faith in Bombshell, and when I saw they had chosen their horizontal spinner, I lost any remaining faith I might have had. Their plan was to disable to chain that drove Tombstones blade. It might have worked if Tombstone wasn't Tombstone. Tombstone broke Bombshell, and they punished it. All that build up and then Bombshell was smashed to pieces immediately. Tombstone won, and did well.

 

Can't wait for next season, which they better have, because Witch Doctor needs to win.
