Beast Wars 25 Tournament, Match 2 - Round 1, Match 2: Cheetor (Transmetal) vs Rampage
 

Following our first match, which you can see here, tonight brings us Match 2 of the BW25 Dream Combat Tournament. The poll for this Round 1 match lasts for three days, and short profiles for each combatant have been provided.
In selecting the winner, decide which one is more likely to force their opponent into submission or surrender, or a knockout for at least a 10-second period. Outright destruction is not necessary, though possible.
The winner of this match will advance to Round 2 to face Dinobot (this tournament round begins February 7). If a draw is reached in this poll, both combatants will be eliminated from the Tournament.


Match 2: Cheetor (Transmetal) vs. Rampage

Cheetor (Transmetal) (Maximal) - Youthful, action-oriented firebrand with boundless energy, confidence, and a desire to prove himself. Transforms into a robotic cheetah; one of the fastest of the Maximals with sprinting speed and great agility, plus flip-out side-mounted jets for flight. Armed with a tail whip and hidden hand-mounted energy blasters. Transmetal body provides improved strength, but lack of experience and a tendency to rush into situations unprepared can lead to trouble.

Rampage (Predacon) - Monstrous, intimidating, remorseless, and then some; failed experiment rendered his spark almost indestructible, and his mind twisted beyond recovery. Overwhelming size, strength, firepower, and Transmetal body make him one of the most horrific threats in the Predacons. Almost impervious to physical injury; restores moderate structural damage at will. Uses triple-barreled rotating missile launcher as robotic crab, tank and robot; also has plasma rifle. Brilliant for a ferocious personality, but has trouble keeping wits due to fractured psyche.


This poll concludes this Saturday night (about 9:30pm ET), and Match 3 in this opening round will begin next Sunday, January 17!

If it was Transmetal 2 Cheetor, the odds might swing in his favor, otherwise, Rampage all the way.

Thanks; glad you're enjoying it! The first couple matches may have been lopsided, but I anticipate some other matches in this round (and very likely in future rounds) should be more competitive.

Mid-tier robo-kitty < robot Hannibal Lecter.

Just one more day to cast your vote for this battle. (Not that the outcome wasn't academic the moment it was drawn....)

A new poll for the third Round 1 Tournament match will open on Sunday.

And Rampage wins this bout in decisive fashion. He will advance to Round 2, where he will face Dinobot.

Watch for Match 3 to be posted tomorrow afternoon!

So Dinobot won another preliminary round?
I must have missed it.

Not quite - with 24 characters on the roster, 16 were drawn to compete in Round 1, while the remaining 8 (one of whom was Dinobot) received a bye in that round, having their first matches in Round 2. You can see the image of the bracket here (first post, second image):
