In my mind I just pretend. My brain is my only true friend.
Why does Bite Force look more like a raptor than the bot named after a raptor is my question. So our finale is Bite Force x Tombstone then...

Bite Force has a great pilot. Bronco looked very slow and unresponsive in its match. I feel like they could have won with better control

Ghost raptor guy is such a self centered jackass. I'm glad he got his poo poo handed to him finally.

Bite Force is gonna get torn apart by Tombstone.

Ehhhh depends on how well armored the plow attachment was. Warhead is nothing, but a flat plow attachment with nothing to catch on is a great idea. The only issue is if its something like Razorback where it was thin enough for a whole to be ripped out of it.

Nice to see Witch Doctor again though, that was the one match last episode that could have gone either way.

If Biteforce can stack on a heavily enough armored wedge it can win. If not, it's gonna get wrecked.

Nightmare is legitimately a bad rear end bot though. It sucks it doesn't have a way to right itself, but Nightmare was always my favorite in the battlebots series. The other 2, one is a girl and the other I don't know why it's a favorite :D

But yeah, this match is the best and Inertia Labs will probably practice for another match against Tombstone or a Tombstone-like next year They had the right idea with the extended flipper, but they didn't seem to have the bot all properly balanced for it.

Third time's the charm?

You'd think it'd be prepared to get flipped again, but it was amusing watching Shaman trying to get Witch Doctor back up and moving.

It lost a wheel on one side and the other was jammed by the protective plate.

Also, Nightmare won :haw:

Honestly they probably didn't even have time to do any sort of adjustment or modification. They seem to have rapid-fired these matchups, and I'm curious as to how much time each bot actually had between matches.

Yeah, I'd be interested to see how long of a break there was between the matches (if any) because some bots seemed to tweak their bots towards certain opponents and you'd think they'd need a little bit of time to do that. (Unless I'm remembering that wrong.)

I bet there was probably a plan for a third place fight but Bronco turned out to be just too damaged to operate.
