The Roarbots’ March Robot Madness is now underway! (That name will quickly become a bit awkward, but oh well.)

Today we’re bringing you the results of Round 1, “West” region. For those curious how we matched all 64 of our contenders up, check out our first post here. These weren’t random match-ups (at least, not totally), and we didn’t plan for the Star Wars droids to duke it out against each other so early. Honest.

These eight match-ups kick off the entire bracket, and – as is typical in brackets like this – there were few surprises. But we can already see some fierce battles shaping up for the second round.

(1) Sentinel vs (16) Dot Matrix

The golden droid with the silver tongue from Druidia was no match for a 30-foot ultimate mutant-killing machine. Programmed to destroy mutants, the Sentinel failed to notice Dot Matrix yet still managed to accidentally step on her on its way to Westchester County, giving it the W.

(8) Johnny 5 vs (9) Chappie

One was created to keep the peace. One was built for war and has a shoulder-mounted laser cannon and an obsessive fear of disassembly. In the end, it wasn’t nearly as close as the seeding would suggest.

(5) Fembots vs (12) Gigolo Joe

Gigolo Joe may have the looks and suave, debonair grace of Jude Law, but those assets aren’t much use in a fight. In the end, he was simply no match for the Fembots’ arsenal of boob bullets. Fembots advance to outsex another opponent.

(4) The Iron Giant vs (13) Chip

Chip may be not quite human, but he’s also not much of a match against a 6-story tall Iron Giant. Not understanding the finer nuances of human existence also means not understanding the need to steer clear of a friendly but clumsy tripping giant. Kersplat!

(6) V.I.N.cent vs (11) Wall-E

He shamed STARR in front of his troops, literally gutted Maximillian, ripped our hearts out when BOB died, and is among the most quotable ‘bots in this competition. Poor Wall-E never stood a chance.

(3) Bumblebee vs (14) Bubo

An alliterative alliance among automatons and Autobots? Absurd! Bumblebee beats Bubo… badly

(7) K-2SO vs (10) R2-D2 & C-3PO

Listen, we love us some K-2SO snark, but R2 has survived 9 movies and numerous animated series. Our poor, reprogrammed Imperial sidekick bit it after 1 flick and a one-shot comic. I hate to do this to a droid who chose such a noble end, buddy, but it’s no contest. R2 advances and 3PO rides his struts to the next round.

(2) Mechagodzilla vs (15) Marvin the Paranoid Android

Marvin had every reason to be paranoid. In between leveling cities, Mechagodzilla felt a mild crunch under its foot, breathed fire, and trudged on to the next round.
