It's Thursday, you know what that means!

The main event this week is former BattleBots champion End Game taking on the quick and powerful veterans Hypershock. We also have a long-awaited battle of the hammer saws as Skorpios and Sawblaze finally face off, as well as the rookie Ripperoni looking to keep their momentum hot and fresh after their upset victory over End Game a few weeks ago. As a reminder, please put any discussion of match results under spoiler tags until 24 hours after the episode airs out of consideration for people who can't watch the episode live, especially if you decide to watch the episode early on Discovery+ before it airs on TV. Showtime is about half an hour away.

IT'S ROBOT FIGHTIN' TIME! Gruff vs. last season's runner-up Witch Doctor leads off the show, and Witch Doctor absolutely demolished Gruff in a dominant win. Gruff used to be one of the toughest bots in the competition a couple of years ago, but it seems like the weapons across the sport have caught up to it. They may need to go back to the drawing board after this season.

Also, that opening promo from Ripperoni to start the show was hilarious.

Malice vs. Valkyrie ends in a brutal double KO, leading to a judge's decision. Malice seemed to lose its weapon functionality but Valkyrie got its weapon ripped clean off... and the judges gave it to Valkyrie!? Bullshit!

In fact, it's bullshit enough that Malice is appealing the decision, the first use of the new appeal rules introduced this season... which is successful! The decision is overturned and Malice wins!

While we await Malice's appeal, Mad Catter and Big Dill just delivered an absolute slobberknocker of a fight. 3 solid minutes of grinding away and knocking chunks off of each other, and although Mad Catter won the judge's decision, Big Dill looked great in that fight.

i was gonna say, i thought mad catter won in the end, but i could have more easily seen that being a split decision than the malice/valkyrie tilt

Hm... some nice crunchy fights on the schedule tonight. Some I feel like I can make irresponsible predictions for: Witch Doctor, Malice, Mad Catter, and Ripperoni. Of course, anyone already watching the episode could tell if some of my guesses are wrong. But the other fights look like they should be quite destructive.

Ribbot may have lost, but that was definitely a case of "I didn't hear no bell" with how they were clinging to life and still keeping their weapon pointed at the opponent despite having 2 wheels ripped clean off. They're 0-3 now, but their losses are all to great bots, so a win in their last fight combined with that strength of schedule might be enough to sneak in.

Skorpios vs. Sawblaze is next.

No battle of the hammer saws, unfortunately... SKORPIOS HAS THE OVERKILL BLADE and it didn't work.

Ripperoni sliced up Hijinx, I took a break to cook a microwave mini Digiorno pizza for dinner during the commercials, and then End Game ripped apart Hypershock to cap off a pretty fun episode. Not really any super amazing fights or incredible KO's, but I think every fight was good with no duds.

I kinda hope Skorpios loses their next fight and doesn't make it into the tournament after that crap they pulled this episode, they had to know that dumb sword thing wouldn't work at all and it's like they just didn't wanna damage their actual weapon. If Ribbot wins their next fight they'd deserve a spot way more even though they'd be 1-3.

Hijinx is not a good robot

Malice/Valkyrie result made no sense at all. The judges have some explaining to do.

I just want to say that seeing Quantum and Claw Viper in this graphic of 3-0 bots so far makes me very happy. Control bots aren't dead.
