It is actually insane to see HUGE being so mobile

[jonathanf]

Crazy to see how fast & maneuverable these two move now. Probably best fight of ep1

[wristofkings]

HUGE started to show signs of this performance level last year but now it's gone fully beast mode. It's fast enough to control other bots and poses a serious threat to the top tier verts. I can't recall any other time Shatter (a very heavily armored bot) was handed a beating this thorough. Not even Deep Six from last year was doing this level of damage to them.

Possibly the worst opponent for Shatter to end up against. Hard to use a hammer weapon when everything just bends, or is difficult to even hit. While with most opponents going head on with shatter would be a nightmare, Huge can do so without serious risk.

I like the new HUGE! It's a lot faster and more aggressive than its debut.
For me, I can't wait to see them battle Starchild.

[RaccoonRevolution]

Huge has gone from little more than a novelty to being a seriously dangerous competitor. I can't think of another bot in the sport that's improved that much from where it started.

[kindabluejazz]

I thought Huge was a mistake last year - it seemed under-powered, vulnerable, and non-threatening. I now see its potential. The wheels are great shields, and it's nearly impossible to get at its insides without getting slammed by its monster hammer blade. Good job guys!

I love these two bots, and it's nice to see how far both of them have come

[MichaelBrandon-cpjq]

My main delight is seeing HUGE's spinup time for the bar seems to have really been cut down. That bar spinner seems far more consistently dangerous this season!

[carstenpfundt]

The armor on HUGE’s wheels is an amazing defense tactic. Even with the weight, it was so so maneuverable!!

[starry]

I love that fight but I feel bad for Shatter! as it was a huge struggle to get 1 win starting by their loss against HUGE.

[marshmelows]

HUGE is huge this season. Keep up the great work guys!

[dannymorgan]

You have to admit… shatter wearing HUGE’s eyes was a cute touch

[gillesashley]

Huge has really improved in defense and tactics. How it uses the big wheels as shield is brilliant.

[GeorgeWells]

I've been feeling bad for the Huge team, until today! This is a wicked win! Well earned!

[JeffJackowski]

Shatter managed to hit a weapon belt on Huge (8:52), but it looks like Huge has four of them.

[metaleater]

Shatter taking off Huge's balance bar shows that Shatter most definitely had a chance to win.

[jallan]

I remember Huge being a joke at its debut, this was incredible.

[FrankySilverFace]

Mr Florian and the other dudes are really good at what they do.

[richardstuplich]

I never thought I'd find myself in a position I was rooting for HUGE to win! This was some really good driving!
