I understand. Are you summarizing the video or did they say something specific that you're trying to translate?

You could say "Hotshot and Blurr can't move from their position." or "Hotshot and Blurr can't move."
The first is the most communicative, but the second also works

I would say "If you have a plan, I'll listen to it." or "If you have a plan, let's hear it."

"pinned down" means that somebody can't move because someone else is holding them down on the ground with force. if they aren't pinned down on the floor but on a wall instead, then you would say they are "pinned against the wall"

@nikkitochat This is my last question, i won't bother you more after this one. Also in the same this video:
The Orange Fighter Jet said "Don't worry, it's the dry heat" since 14:43 as he continue to attack Hotshot and Blurr. Then the Orange robot said "I’ve had all I can stand! I’ve had enough fun and games for one day. Keep firing. I’ve got a feeling the tide’s about the turn." since 14:49:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXjndEho7qI
- Does "It's the dry heat" mean literally as it is?
- "I've had all i can stand" mean "I can't stand it anymore" (watching his fellow robots Blurr and Hotshot being attacked by enemies)?
- "I've had enough fun and games for one day", what does he mean? Because he just stand there and watching other comrades being powerless, that's why he can't stand it anymore. But don't know what he mean in this one.
- I’ve got a feeling the tide’s about the turn." I don't understand anything at all...

@DangYeonSim
I'm pretty sure "it's the dry heat" is literally talking about the dry heat. I don't know what else it could mean besides that.
I think "I've had all I can stand" is referring to how many attacks the robot himself is able to handle.
"fun and games" in this context means "difficulty", so "I've had enough fun and games for one day" means "I've had enough difficulties/challenges for one day" (the difficulties/challenges are referring to the fight)
he said "I've got a feeling the tide's about TO turn", that means he has a feeling that something is going to change to the opposite. for example, if they are winning the fight, he has a feeling that it will be reversed they will suddenly start losing the fight

@nikkitochat "I think "I've had all I can stand" is referring to how many attacks the robot himself is able to handle." No, this Orange Robot didn't get any attack but he's talking about his friends are Blurr and Hotshot (other blue and yellow robots). I just want to verify if "I've had all i can stand" mean "I can't stand it anymore (to watching my friends being attacked).
About the dry heat, that's right, because if we watch this video since 13:42, that Fighter Jet said he hope Blurr and Hotshot sunscreen and likens himself to the sun that will burn them". So it make sense if he says "dry heat", i get it now.

@DangYeonSim Ah then yeah I think you're right and it does mean he can't stand watching his friends get attacked
