Powerdrive: Speed 6 | Traction 4 | Torque 1 | Weapon 12 (11 drum, 1 srimech) | Armor 7
Configs: Anti-vertical spinner config.
Strategy:
It’s forks vs. forks. Mine look like they might be a bit longer but the non-fork parts of my front are tall enough that I don’t think his can scoop me up enough to keep me from either getting under his corners or jamming my scoop under his drum and slowing it down.
Rush him at the start and try to at least make him surrender the initiative, and be ready to put on the brakes and chase him. We’re both pretty quick, but I’ve got a little more speed and Powerdrive’s prone to oversteer. Try to either get to his corners or bait him into turning too far, but don’t be too picky about what part of him I engage with as long as I keep my forks pointed at him.
If I get under, if I’m contacting his drum keep pushing forward until it stops, then lift, get my forks jammed into any of the gaps in his underside (behind the drum in the front wheel wells) and slam him into the wall. If I’m wedged under a corner just push and hope he panics and exposes his side trying to spin away, and other wise just push him back until either he or the wall does something about it. Only lift if I’ve got him sideways or can hook him, otherwise don’t risk it with the drum at full speed unless I can control him with the wall.
If he gets a solid hit on me, it won’t do much damage but might flip me over. If this happens, maneuver, point my back towards him, then self-right while retreating so I flip around and have the forks aimed at him again, or if I don’t have time just point the plow at him and ram him. His 11-power drum still does minimal damage to me.
Flip him over if possible and try to get to his sides while he self-rights. Otherwise run the clock down with pins and try to get him under the pulverizers. They should do a good bit of damage and may even damage said srimech.
