Battlebots bounty hunters6/1/2023 Martin “the Maverick” Mason and the Hell’s Angels have indeed brought us a surprisingly decent bot this season, that’s alreadyclaimed awesome wins over Ribbot and Fusion. You’re probably thinking “Mad Catter’s at 2-0 and has been one of the best robots competing this season, this is clearly an easy win you f*cking mongrel”. Taking a detour over to the other side of the bracket, we’ve got ourselves a fight which is harder to predict than I thought it would be. And look, is that A LOOSE BELT ON THE FLOOR For me, this is Rotator’s fight to lose, and a few good hits on Axolotl’s weapon should end the fight in about a minute. We also saw against Beta that it can take a literal beating and still have its weapon working fine at the end of the match. It’s defeated Tombstone, Icewave, and, er, let’s go with Bombshell with it’s spinning disc/bar/spinner-wedge/whatever you want to call its weapon set up, and is a sturdy as f*ck bot. However, that aside, Rotator is a powerful thing. I remain firmly in the school of thought that believes one good hit on your opponent in a battle you were otherwise bullied about in is in no way a justifiable reason to claim a victory. The very same Rotator that many people, including the Rotator team themselves, feel should be at 1-0 in the main show after its display against Beta. Appearances can sometimes be deceiving, but the design flaws look pretty blatant to me.įurthermore, it’s opponent for this opening round is none other than Rotator. However, it’s weapon looks like it lacks both the power and reach to cause its opponents any serious trouble. Admittedly, Axolotl is one of the aforementioned competitors I’ve not seen in action before, so for all I know this hot and spicy newcomer is the best thing since sliced bread. Starting us off for this episode is a match-up which, on paper, looks pretty straight-forwards to me. I’m all here for it.Īnyhow, part one of predictions is a-go. Just kidding guys, Bronco’s a legend of the game and was unfortunate to fall to such a record last season, and a bot we will sadly miss in the main competition this season.Anything to stop the haters coming after me in the comments. Eight fights, each one hopefully full of mayhem. Which means even more content for us to drool over, and even stricter deadlines for your humble author to stick to.Īfter the “controversy” of my recent power rankings, here’s hoping some more wholesome comments come out of my latest batch of predictions. We’ve got an eclectic array of characters to pick from here, from seasoned vets to anomalies I’ve never seen in action, competing for the right to face everyone’s favourite bot that spectacularly went 0-4 last season, Bronco. We’ve known about the spin-off Bounty Hunters for some time now, which is running in correlation with the regular show, but we’re getting the opening two episodes of said spin-off ON THE SAME NIGHT. Today we’re opening with a reference to the best thing to come out of 2020, the hit Netflix series Tiger King, because we need something batsh*t mental to reflect how batsh*t mental the BattleBots production team have gone with the amount of stuff they’re bringing us. Hey all you cool cats and kittens, it’s time for more refreshing new content from your favourite BattleBots blogger.
