We begin with the sound of revving up petrol engines, as Lethal Weapon starts to spin up. But Tony doesn’t get chance to move his robot as Nitro-Gene 5.0 quickly goes in for the attack. The side skirts of Lethal Weapon prevent it getting under though, and Lethal Weapon quickly bursts away. But it doesn’t get far before being blocked off by Flank Attack 2. Nitro-Gene 5.0 swoops in and slides straight under Flank Attack. Alex decides to turn his attention towards the English robot and Lethal Weapon makes a get away. Nitro-Gene 5.0 drives towards Flank Attack again, this time going straight between the claws and meeting the scoop! Before the claws can close, Nitro-Gene fires its flipper and launches Flank Attack a few feet in the air!
Flank Attack crashes back down, just as Lethal Weapon launches an attack! The horizontal spinning disc thunders off the inside of one of the claws and then collides with the scoop. This time Alex is quicker on the trigger, and the jaws wrap around Lethal Weapon! The claws grip firmly… and tear right into the 3mm Titanium/Vanadium alloy of Lethal Weapon! Two huge holes have been carved into each of the sides of Lethal Weapon, and Flank Attack starts to push it across the arena and right over the flame grill. Lethal Weapon doesn’t want to hang around there too long! Flank Attack turns, looking to drive Lethal Weapon elsewhere… and that place is into the oncoming Nitro-Gene 5.0! The flipper sweeps under Lethal Weapon and fires, nicely hoisting both Lethal Weapon and Flank Attack right over and separates them.
Lethal Weapon flees as Flank Attack gets its claws either side of Nitro-Gene 5.0 and begins to crush… but the sloping 3.25mm Hardox panels just aren’t giving way. None the less, Flank Attack has a nice grip on Nitro-Gene and begins to push it, eventually crashing against the pit release! With the pit descending and the grip maintained, Flank Attack turns Nitro-Gene round and heads towards the chasm of doom. But there’s Lethal Weapon! The spinning disc collides with the side of Flank Attack, causing all three vapourbots to scatter away. Paul looks relieved as he backs his robot away from the pits edge, as Lethal Weapon thunders into the side of Flank Attack once again! Nitro-Gene suddenly flies at Lethal Weapon, breaching the skirts and begins to push it across the Pyramid of Pain… and flips! Where on Earth did that attack come from?! Moments ago it looked consigned to the pit, next minute its charged at Lethal Weapon, shoved it across the ring and launched it out of the arena!
Tony and Paul both look stunned, but Alex looks something else… Flank Attack is not moving smoothly at all. Nitro-Gene goes in to have a closer look, and it becomes apparent that Flank Attack is moving in circles. One of the hits from Lethal Weapon has locked up the one wheel against its own wheel guard! Flank Attack starts spinning viciously on the spot… Nitro-Gene is hesitant, but decides to ram it… and gets stuck between the claws! The jaws close and grapple Nitro-Gene again, now can Flank Attack manage to edge towards the pit? Flank Attack begins to drive backwards and forwards in an arc, and it progressing forwards! Nitro-Gene’s flipper opens with force, but it is of little use. But Nitro-Gene is driving itself and fighting back! And it seems to be getting the upper hand as Flank Attack is slowly turned towards the pit… and now Flank Attack is fighting back itself! Nitro-Gene suddenly has a burst of energy and drives both robots to the pits edge… and smoke starts funnelling out of the top of Nitro-Gene! But it’s still going… and down goes Flank Attack! The jaws finally let go and Nitro-Gene backs slowly away, leaving Flank Attack in the pit.
CEASE!
Nitro-Gene 5.0 goes through to Round 2!
