The fact that anything on Megatron worked at the end of this is a testament to how well it's put together. That build quality compared to the damage it took also speaks to how much energy is in that shell.

[@RyanDeAngioletti]

MegatRON is an awesome robot

[@econecoff1725]

Indeed! It still could barely "walk", and its weapon was spinning after all that abuse and damage. It should get the Monte Python Black Knight award.

You know things were getting desperate when MegatRON was trying to push its dismembered wedge into Chonkiv. Pure dominance right there and quite the redemption for the first fight.

[@Living_Murphys_Law]

It's the year of the shell spinner! I've never seen Megatron take that much damage.

[@dunneemofozilla5718]

Something about megatron reminded me of the final scenes of the original terminator movie. Only one arm functioning that machine didnt give up, kept dragging itself after the target

[@trueGinko]

It was a great fight! Super fun to watch

[@matt6260]

Welp at least now we know that Gigabyte has a chance to beat Sawblaze 😂

[@AAb-xy6et]

Respect for that thing still moving and be somewhat agressive

[@Termini_Man]

Those are some nasty hits! what rpm does that shell spin at?

[@nightrider5420]

Big props to Megatron hanging in till the end . Great fight😎👍

[@secretterminal2179]

Shell spinners are SO BACK

[@ethansiew61]

Wow, that has got to be the most damaged Megatron has been in a match. I never would have guessed that Chonkiv was a shuffler with how fast and smooth it drove.

[@elvisperezley9244]

The saucer is a wonderful concept. But what's the pipe for?

[@RyanDeAngioletti]

The pipe on Chonkiv is its self righter. Without the bar, when flipped, Chonkiv would almost lie flat and have little chance to flip itself. With the bar, when flipped, Chonkiv will not lay flat, and is able to spin it’s weapon up to flip itself.

[@rogerc4748]

Reminds me of Monte Python, just a flesh wound. There goes a leg.

[@TheRealDylanTRM]

Talk about an upset! I'm sure everyone lost their minds watching this.

[@colemitchell6728]

The fact that jamo lost in the 3lbs and the 30lbs to a bot with limited mobility in the same day is crazy to me

[@robertw5316]

The mortally wounded animal fought till the very end.

[@user-wv5bt4jc9p]

I've had this idea for a fighting rc robot built using three key parts a electric wheelchair the sheet metal casing from a top load washer and two hq steering servos to move the stick control along with the rc car electronics and a hand truck frame as the beater bar and weld several sledge hammer heads on the handle and tall enough indestructible wheels to basically a hammer with wheels on the end of the handle

....PROUD SUCCESSOR OF TYPHOON2 .....HEHE

[@SethiozProject]

megatron got chunked

[@RennieAsh]

Jamison Go will not Go!

[@HarmonRAB-hp4nk]

[@im.infurness]
