(TUNE: “Matchmaker, Matchmaker” from Fiddler On The Roof, Bock & Harnick)
Hullcrusher, Hullcrusher, he’s all around!
Us, he will pound
Into the ground!
I fear it’s most likely we will be toast
That’s burnt and not lightly browned!
Hullcrusher, Hullcrusher, crusher of hulls!
Smashing our skulls
Just for the lulz!
To our chagrin, we are captive within!
Our being, he soon annuls!
I made … a … pact with Miss Hitty,
My quickness allied with her force!
But now … it … seems quite a pity!
We’re up the proverbial watercourse!
Hullcrusher, Hullcrusher, Hullcrusher Prime!
Now comes the time!
Now drops the dime!
Now is the hour for violence sublime …
So … may you be cursed!
We shall not quail!
Show us your worst!
We’ll not turn tail!
Although we are sure … to … fail!
On the one hand, I feel bad for Moustachio. On the other, I can tell that when this is over, I’m going to feel really, really bad for Hullcrusher Prime. He seems like he’d have emotional issues, which means an encounter with the Puppets of Ultimate Horror.

Hullcrusher, he all round
Hitty and Ramshambler goin’ down
Walls around them first go “klak”
Then open wide with a mighty big “GRAAAK”
Ramshambler’s a gallant beau
(FKA Moustachio)
Wouldn’t fight, but not doin’ much saving
Gears are turnin’, gonna turn ’em into metal shavings
Buried in Anasigma’s bowels
Product Testing Floor went quiet
Then it opened its metal jowls
It grinds and howls
Throw in the towels
Hullcrusher is the bot that they can’t beat
Last robot standing will ascend
But they can’t duel it out cuz they’re friends
Won’t never be robot groom and bride
Or will fusion power somehow save their metal hides?
“I made this half-pony, half-monkey monster to please you
But I get the feeling that you don’t like it

I wonder if there’s another fighting-pit for all the products of the Mad Biologists?
I’m beginning to “hear” Moustachio in Maj. Dennis Bloodnok’s voice… I’ve not noticed any Goons/Telegoons influences here; I could be wrong, though. For a quick refresher, check YouTube for “What time is it, Eccles?”
I didn’t, but now I do… I can’t imagine mapping most of the Goons onto the Skin Horse cast, but despite the sex disparity, I think it wouldn’t be too hard to start hearing Gavotte with Grytpype-Thynne’s voice (Minnie for any of the female characters?! “You silly, twisted boy!”)
Gavotte, I hear somewhere in the Juliet Mills/ Mary Poppins range… except when she is a bit mysterious. Then she’s Tammy Grimes hosting CBSRMT, another interest of mine… Anyone interested in The Goon Show or CBSRMT is welcome to join the Yahoo groups, btw. Unity, I hear as an enthusiastic teen, of about Archie Comics/16 Magazine reading age… Tip and Sweetie I am working on, and Nick has gallons of that unpleasant burr some guys get in adolescence… The silverfish? I picture one doing a creditable Caruso, doing the Pagliacci “put on your costume!” bit… The snakes? No clue. I don’t know whether “It smells like a librarian in here!” denotes a feature or a bug…
We may never know… but I *couldn’t* read panel 2 and “hear” any other voice… even if his fetish is popcorn tins instead of other people’s money… I can’t get Hittie to sound like Minnie Banister, so perhaps she won’t be worrying about being murdered in her bed…
Okay, betting pool is open. I’m taking five minutes, Hittie and Ramshambler knocking one of the gears out of a socket, causing a catastrophic breakdown. Any takers?
I’m thinking that Hullcrusher may take up the entirety of the dome, implying some other entrance into the arena (an entrance shaft or service elevator, perhaps). I will bet you an Internet that Mustachio makes an impassioned speech about how, despite their differences, all robots are built from the same spiritual template and are bound together by common mechanity. This will distract Hullcrusher long enough for Hitty to hammer a whole in the floor, at which point they will drop and/or descend to (relative) safety.
Seeing as I have yet to be awarded an Internet, I may have to take out a loan, unless anyone has any spares?
Okay, two minutes.
So that’s the explanation is it? He was just too big everyone thought he was part of the environment?
Less “part of,” more “is.” As I understand it, they’re inside of him.
oh crap
I’m beginning to suspect this was not set up to be a fair fight.
Yes, Hullcrusher was doomed from the start.

That was quite lovely.

So at that size, does he qualify as a Hullcrusher mountain?

Wwll fortunately mustachio does extra damage against buildings.
And that thong probably counts as a building.
Yes, Ramshambler knows what to do with buildings!
Lets see what song he breaks out this time

Oh dear. This has just become my personal head-canon as well.

Yo’ robot SO fat, when he sits around the arena, he sits AROUND the arena. (Also, Pygar: but is he formerly of the 3rd Disgusting Fusiliers?)

That’s a good start
This is a test. Please delete if it actually posts.
Well, this has “good times” written all over it.
