Aftershock

## Overview

Aftershock is a big vertical disc spinner, based on its heavyweight counterpart who competed in Robot Wars. Aftershock uses a trimmed down Hexbug Witch Doctor base with a custom paper armour and wedge. It is also able to self-right with its vertical disc though not too reliably like its heavyweight originator.

In Battle of the Builders 3, Aftershock lost both its fights but still delivered some very great hits.

## Fight History

### Battle of the Builders 3

#### Aftershock vs Carbide

House Robot: Red Baron

Battling Carbide to score for OrangeDoseOverJuice's team, this match was made to be fanservice as it enacts the Aftershock vs Carbide feud but in Antweight version. Aftershock went straight for Carbide, which served to its right. Both spinner skipped each other's armour and the two robots collided. They began turning around before Carbide dismounts and got flipped over by the floor flipper. Once Carbide started scrambling about, Aftershock managed to land a good strike onto the back of Carbide. Aftershock could not capitalise further on the opportunity as the Red Baron slammed the vertical spinner bot into Carbide at the corner. Carbide seemed to be immobilised for the moment and yet again, Red Baron came in for another ram against both robots, letting it land on its side before Aftershock struck it down. Aftershock was still able to keep its disc spinning and continued attacking. Red Baron activated the pit and charged towards both robots again.

This time, Carbide regained mobility. Aftershock shoved its opponent around and allowed the house robot to charge into it. Both started wandering around the arena before Aftershock landed another impactful hit onto Carbide's rear. Red Baron lost its spinning arm when it tried to intercept. The two spinner bots moved away from another. Carbide got stuck on the floor flipper again and got toppled over but still inverted. Aftershock attempted to shove Carbide into the pit but to no avail and started charging straight into the tread of Red Baron, which managed to kill it. By some miracle, Carbide was able to spin up again as Aftershock continued pushing it around. Aftershock drove on top of the floor flipper and was overturned on its back, landing disc first on the floor. Aftershock self-righted with its disc in an abrupt instant and both machines persisted with more back and forth. Aftershock was tipped over slightly by the floor flipper and started losing control of its drive. After Carbide gained distance, Aftershock inched itself back onto the floor flipper. Unsurprisingly, Aftershock was thrown high into air and upended without an active disc. Carbide managed to evade a self-pitting during the countdown. Aftershock fought valiantly but lost to Carbide from Team twopennymilk in 4:50.

#### Aftershock vs Top Bot

House Robot: Red Baron

For the tiebreaker match, Aftershock was set to battle Top Bot. Red Baron was also bandaged up for this match too. At the start of the match, Top Bot lightly tapped Aftershock with its spinner before both robots tried to look for an opening and Top Bot pulled out one of Aftershock's plastic panels. Both of their spinners collided but Top Bot managed to launch Aftershock into corner, on its back. Aftershock self-righted quickly with less stability in its drive. Despite that, Top Bot was hurled away and onto its back from another spinner-to-spinner collision with Aftershock. Red Baron immediately charged towards Top Bot. Luckily, Aftershock struck Top Bot and let it lean onto the wall diagonally. Red Baron then rammed Aftershock against the wall, followed by Top Bot. This only helped freed Top Bot while Aftershock and Red Baron started fighting each other.

Aftershock's weapon could not spin as its disc was tilted from its disjointed axle. Aftershock spun around and Top Bot delivered consecutive hits to it. Not long after, Top Bot was able to severely mangle the armour of Aftershock and knock down the disc. However, Top Bot tore the plough clean off from the discombobulated Aftershock. Suddenly, a shoe was dropped into the arena that was somehow triggered. Top Bot sent another two devastating hits onto its helpless opponent while suffering the strong recoils. Aftershock continued to swerved around and lost one of its wheel. Aftershock was then flung high up and got lodged between the side gate and the adjacent wall by the floor flipper. As if it was not enough, Red Baron ran into Aftershock again, losing its vertical disc. This match resulted in another quality loss for Aftershock by a brutal knockout from Top Bot, which meant that twopennymilk won this event.
