![]() ![]() Valkyrie also got a stroke of luck when Tantrum’s batteries wore out and gave it a free win in a fight it was otherwise losing. It didn’t win the Giant Nut or anything like that but this is a robot who won the Most Destructive Robot award for the ass kicking it dealt out to Rotator in the qualifiers. Valkyrie on the other hand has performed respectably this season. It didn’t perform well enough to qualify for the main tournament however so it was still eliminated. Extinguisher was looking like it was about to go 0-3 for the season because it was next up against Gruff but due to a drivetrain failure on the part of Gruff Extinguisher actually won the fight. Then Gigabyte destroyed it in its second fight. Extinguisher missed by a fucking mile, smashed into the wall, and stopped working. Extinguisher charged out of its square making a line drive straight for its opponent. This season the robot came back beefier and bulkier and ready to do some fucking damage and in its season debut fight against Perfect Phoenix this robot wasn’t about to take any bullshit. SubZero is also here to be our token flipper.Įxtinguisher’s only hit of the fight, and it took more damage than it dealt.Įxtinguisher began its life as a pitiful hammer bot that could barely swing its fire axe weapon if its life depended on it… and since this is BattleBots its life really did depend on it. We’ve got Tracer… again… as well as an appearance by Extinguisher and Slap Box, two robots we didn’t really see much of in the main season. Among the eight robots gunning for the bounty prize are heavy hitters Valkyrie and Malice with Huge rounding out the bottom of the bracket. Witch Doctor has also defeated Tombstone so if there was ever a reason to pull up a seat and watch the carnage this is it. ![]() Up next on the docket is Witch Doctor however, a robot that made it to the 2019 season championship and was also the winner of the Amazon re:MARS exhibition event that was held between seasons. That of course was Tombstone because who else would it be? Tombstone has enough firepower to sink a battleship so it’s no surprise that Ray Billings dipped his finger into the icing on the fucking cake and called dibs on a primo slice of it. Out of the previous four episodes we’ve seen three challengers rise to the occasion and knock out a legend for a slice of a shared $25,000 prize purse and there’s only been one great to defend its title. We’re taking a look back at the first season of BattleBots: Bounty Hunters in these articles and so far the action has been intense. ![]() ![]() Well guess what, I just forked out $249 for a lifetime pass with this website’s premium theme so that means you’re stuck with me. You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the next persona non grata. Long enough to score several thousand followers on Facebook, and long enough for Reddit’s community to gradually turn on me and get tired of these weekly article posts. Anyways I’ve been doing this song and dance for a long time. I look at the mountain of robot combat events from the past that I’ve yet to cover as well as those on the horizon and I just feel a sense of being overwhelmed that I cannot make a stupid analogy for. This project will never truly be finished. Welcome back to BattleBots Update, a website that has lived a hell of a lot longer than I initially assumed it would. ![]()
