vs
Twisterbot (Anna)
vs
Cancerbot (Chiiro)
vs
Diggle (BoVinE)
With four players ready, it's finally time for the first match to begin...
The monitors around the arena whirred to life in spastic flashes. All displayed a massive zoomed-in image of the first species' breeding triad. Seeing this, the crowd went into convulsions.
"Iiiiiiiiiiiin the west corner...!", Harold began. "It's Legbot, the heavily-engineered brainchild of Flabort Genomics Incorporated!"
"Yes, is Legbot", Pavel echoed stiffly. "Made with genetic engineering. How interesting. What it is do, Harold? What is for?"
Harold sighed. "Couldn't you at least pretend to be excited, Pavel-old-pal?"
"Yes, but. I am curious, is all. I must know its original purpose."
Harold dropped his voice to a hushed tone. "The Legbot is designed to lap up oil spills, I heard. Like the one that happened in the South China Sea last month. But the thing is? It hasn't been tested yet."
"So this is maiden voyage for Comrade Legbot?", Pavel suggested with a smile.
"So it would seem."
"Any-of-the-way, it is time for to introduce second contestant", Pavel said, bringing the previous line of conversation to a close. "In east corner is Cancerbot. Inauspicious name. Research of ChiiroDyne Biomedics Co. Ltd, from Japan. What is the story on this one?"
"Well, Pavel, you ever heard of HeLa cells? Cancerbot is their distant descendant! This particular strain was developed for research into the destruction of tumors classified as 'ludicrously malignant' by ChiiroDyne."
"Yes, HeLa cells. Still-dividing cancer cells from some nondescript American woman who kicked bucket one hundred years ago. Much hardier than human cells... more interesting too. On to the third species?"
"In the south corner is Diggle! The creation of Bovine Biofuels Gumbuh-- WHUH?" Harold seized upon seeing the alien, unfamiliar word before his eyes.
"Typical American. It is Bovine Biofuels GmbH! GEE-EMM-BEE-ECH. German term", Pavel corrected in a patronizing manner. "Even I know this one. This little comrade turns cow govno into kerosene. Very useful!"
"And last but not least is Twisterbot, in the north corner. Very solemn brother, spawn of Seraph Terraforming Conglomerate. It is a pollution marker for biome restoration! Turns a different color when distressed, or something like that."
"...thank you for that explanation, Pavel. But I think that's enough talking for one day."
"Yes", Pavel agreed. "Place your bets, everyone. It is game time."
