Uppercut

[coasterqueencat]

“Bring it on!!”

Everyone meet Roundhouse, my newest Battlebots character design.

🔥Roundhouse is a Battlebots competitor who has a fierce and fiery spirit.

🔥She trained under the mentorship of Uppercut, who taught her martial arts. When she’s not perfecting her fighting techniques, she’s lifting weights with her brother Deadlift.

🔥Roundhouse’s voice would sound a bit like Greaseball from the 2024 version of Starlight Express.

🔥She can surround her punches and kicks with flames, and deliver a fiery attack to her foes.

🔥She lost her first tournament, but doesn’t plan on giving up at all!

Anyways, sorry for the long post, I hope y’all like her! :)

SPOILERS AHEAD FOR BATTLEBOTS CHAMPIONS EPISODE 3

(Once again, I don’t have an image of the bot in talking about saved, oop-)

My god Glitch freaking popped off! Sure, it won three Judges’ Decisions in a row, but Glitch is still undefeated! It double KO’d against Uppercut and it spilled the guts of Rotator in only a few hits!

I’ll be honest, when I watched it with my dad, we were both like “Yea, Uppercut wins this”, then a double KO happened. My dad alway said the bot they say first wins split decisions, but I countered that wasn’t always the case, then Glitch won via split decision. When Glitch faced against Rotator, my dad said “I got Rotator, who you got?” I replied with: “I know Rotator’s gonna win, but I wanna say Glitch.” Then Rotator’s guts came out.

Glitch will probably lose in the Golden Bolt tourney, but if they fix their drive issues, they’ll probably be a terrifying bot to face.

"Detonation... Detonation... Detonation... Wielder of the most glorious, powerful, and grand explosion magic, My name is Uppercut. The blow that I am given to strike turns a blind eye to the fate of my kindred, rendering all hope of rebirth and anguish, and the model by which all forces are judged! Pitiful creature... Synchronize yourself with the red smoke, and atone in a surge of blood!"

EXPLOSION!

Alright Tumblr Battlebots community, since we're going to have a while without a new episode might as well try to use this time to know what we think about the history and current season

First Question for all of you, what do you think is the biggest upset in the history of Battlebots?

[sunfolaursa]

My friend offered a fun art challenge for me! My favorite BattleBots as humans!

(I stole some aspects, mainly hair, from the bot drivers! I gave Minotaur's a little bit more Daniel since I consider them so connected.) (Some detail stuff below!)

I wanted Minotaur's mostly covered since their defense is pretty solid*, but have the arms exposed a little since they ARE an offensive bot. A little arm 'cause they're armed. Slipped the Minotaur logo on side of his pants too 😊 And of course a little Brazil flag on the jacket~ --------- (*Excluding their first match in the 2021/2022 season, I guess. Yeah, they caught fire bUT THEY STILL MADE IT THROUGH THE WHOLE MATCH LIKE A GODDAMN CHAMP!  😘 )

         I gave Uppercut's that sort of shirt for the shape of the front plow! (Also it just seems fitting.) The pattern on the pants for the triangle cuts in the frame in the back. And slight exposed lower leg for their exposed tires.

          Blip has a jacket, again to symbolize defense, but he's a flipper so I had to show his guns! I also gave him his little wind up key!

           _______________________________________________

I've been watching since 2016 and I became a Minotaur fan as soon as I heard the beautiful hum of the weapon drum 🥰 I've been cheering ever since. During the 2020 season I had to decide on a bot to root for since the Minotaur team couldn’t be there. So Uppercut took place as my second. And then he made Sawblaze literally explode and I KNEW I MADE A GOOD CHOICE. Blip took me by surprise but the flipping power of that little dude! And the moment the Blip crew “wound him” for the fight, it was over. I love the little guy.

[mach-speed-spin]

Beyblade idea: a defense type that is shaped like a cone and deflects attacks upwards, unbalancing the opponent

Now, in the plastic gen or mfb this would be impractical due to the wide range of heights (mfb’s lowest spin track was 8.5 mm, the tallest was 23.0 mm), but Burst’s height variation is much lesser (the difference between Low and High Accel is fairly small. Bullet and Shot are taller but they’re outliers)

This idea was inspired by watching a recent Battlebots fight: Tombstone vs Captain Shrederator, and while weird things happened in this fight, Shred being hit and staying grounded while Tombstone is deflected upwards is consistent across many fights, like Captain Shrederator vs Rotator, Tombstone vs Gruff, Gigabyte vs Malice, Gigabyte vs Son of Whyachi, Stinger vs Captain Shrederator, Terrorhurtz vs Carbide, Tombstone vs Rotator, and Son of Whyachi vs Brutus

Basically, horizontal or full-body spinners (lawnmower and roomba looking ones, as opposed to vertical spinners, which deliver uppercuts), when they hit a sloped surface, either tear through it or get deflected upwards, with the latter being more common. A bey with the same concept could work well, as long as the sloped surface makes contact with the opponent

P.S.: Many of the links are region-locked so use a vpn if you need to. They should all be available in either the US, Canada, France, or Brazil

I just watched BattleBots 6x05 "Let's Uppercut to the Chase!"

[pokecraftking]

So new episode of battlebots, and nothing of that much interest other than the final battle...

In which one bot, sawblaze, FUCKING BURSTS INTO A BALL OF FIRE AND IS TURNED TO SHRAPNEL BY UPPERCUT, LAINCHED ACROSS THE ATENA AND CHIPPING THE REINFORCED ARENA!!!

THIS is why I love battlebots!
