Sly took a moment to mute the microphone and gather his notes together. In what was essentially a floating glass box he could see large, towering bipedal machines marching their way into the stadium's entrances. He wasn't kidding about maybe needing a change of pants.

"Sorry about that. Alright. The annual Mad Science Showdown begins today, in 1 hour. Year one, and the theme? Big freakin' robots. Yeah, you heard me. Giant robots. The mayor thought that one up. From all the advertisements all over the billboards, I can certainly see why. The more people tuning in, the more advertisers he can get. So start things off with a bang and hopefully throw all those excess funds into speeding up reconstruction. Who doesn't love giant robots? I mean, seriously? You must be mental if you don't!" Sly says, letting out a chuckle, then flipping to the next page of notes.

"Sly here, hope you all enjoyed my little history lesson from earlier. During the commerical I relocated from our tower down to the observation platform floating above the arena and I have to say... some of the things I'm seeing down there are makin' me wanna get a change of pants. But enough about me. I know you're all listening because you want me to give you the low down on this year's competition. So here goes!"

Sly took a moment to mute the microphone and gather his notes together. In what was essentially a floating glass box he could see large, towering bipedal machines marching their way into the stadium's entrances. He wasn't kidding about maybe needing a change of pants.

"Sorry about that. Alright. The annual Mad Science Showdown begins today, in 1 hour. Year one, and the theme? Big freakin' robots. Yeah, you heard me. Giant robots. The mayor thought that one up.

Meanwhile...

You stroll through the staging bay as you check out the competition. There is an array of other designs, from simple humanoids, to ones with tank treads, four legs, and even some reverse-jointed walkers. Nothing that really looks like it should cause you any worry, though.

A series of loud chimes signals an announcement, and you listen closely: "Attention, please. Attention. Competitors #31 and #54 are now wanted on the field. Fighting will commence in five minutes."

That wasn't you, yet, but you could get called soon so you better get ready. You turn and walk back down the length of the staging grounds to where your giant robot is waiting for you. You give it a quick visual inspection to make sure there is nothing wrong, then climb up the ladder to the cockpit.


Which giant robot do you get in, and what do you say?
