Robot Wars Thread

I AM REVAN REBORN
With the return of Robot Wars (Which just started a few hours ago on BBC TWO), I felt it was time to make a thread of this series and how much we love it :)
 
Spoilers for the first episode of the new series  
|| Jonathan Pearce is back. Sadly though, Craig Charles isn’t the presenter (Despite sending a request). Instead, he’s replaced by Dara O Briain. Apparently, according to the Wikipedia page on Craig Charles, The BBC stated that they had denied Charles’ request to reprise the role by stating that they don’t comment on ‘individual casting enquiries’. Jeez, THANKS BBC! First Top Gear than this! ||
 
Edit: Yes, there’s gonna be alot of spoiler text in this thread. I’d advise watching the show before coming here.

While I only got to see the matches due to missing the episode itself:
 
I was quite surprised to see Razer go out in the first round, Carbine has my attention as the new spinner on the block and they really did a number on Nuts and really ended up dinging up Behemoth, nearly ridding it from its scoop. I was kind of bummed out to see Terrorhurtz fail to make it despite tying with Behemoth, though.
 
I also hope the guy who did the editing manage to get it nailed down as the series goes on, though. It was wasn’t so great throughout some of the fights.

This week on Robot Wars:
 
|| Wow, I was not expecting Shockwave to be going through to the grand final. All eyes were on Thor and then he got flicked into the pit like he was an insect. Who knows, maybe fucking Loki was up to his regular shenanigans…? ||
 
|| Also, I was betting on Mr Speed Squared since he was so good during the first round (He was like the love child of Hypnodisk & Sir Chrome A Lot). I was so gutted when he lost :( ||
 
|| Also also, that fight between Foxic & Mr Speed Squared has got to be the most boring fight I’ve seen. I’ve seen old people fight better than that! ||
 
Apparently, this whole series took place on the same day cause Nut’s team was in the background…

|| I’m still betting on Carbide winning the grand final but I’ll have to wait and see who the next few batches of winners are… ||

@Revan0123  
That bout between Foxic and Mr Speed Squared was a rather dull fight (though not as bad as Bolt From the Blue vs Firestorm, I’ll say that.
 
I honestly felt pretty bad for Foxic, if they managed to get their bot into gear, and the arena wasn’t a pain in the ass, they probably would have done a lot better
 
Shockwave did a pretty good job thoughout its matches and I was pretty disappointed to see Tough as Nails go out so quickly as well)

Oh yeah, that fight in the old robot wars. God, that was boring…
 
|| I guess Foxic felt a little ‘Toxic’….sorry :P ||
 
|| Oh I was pretty impressed by Shockwave. I just felt Thor was gonna win considering it kicked Shockwave’s ass in the head to head ||

This week on Robot Wars…holy crap:
 
|| I was so betting on Dantomkia for the win considering how well it did early on. TR2, I was surprised with. They never lost a single match! They’re like The Undertaker of Robot Wars! ||
 
|| Overdozer, what the hell were you thinking? There’s a reason robots don’t go in with bloody wood for armour… ||
 
|| Sir Killalot getting his weapon stuck in the wall made me bloody laugh XD ||

I have to give TR2 a lot of credit, they did an excellent job in all of their fights.
 
Seriously Overdozer, Wood armor and a Petrol engine?! What where you guys even thinking?!
 
I did get a chuckle from Sir killalot getting suck, however
 
I felt bad for King B Remix, they never really got off the ground in any of their bouts.

HOLY FUCKING CRAP, THIS WEEK ON ROBOT WARS!
 
|| Poor Terror Turtle never stood a chance. Rainbow Dash is gonna be pissed :P ||
 
|| I was betting on PP3D due to their high spinning disk. I was gutted when they got sent into the pit via the push of a button :( ||
 
|| Apollo was just kicking ass and taking names. HE EVEN FLIPPED THE HOUSE ROBOTS FOR FUCK’S SAKE! :O ||
 
|| The battle of the flips…need I say more? ||

Poor Dead Metal flipped over again! Same for Matilda
 
And that fight was a close one between Storm 2 and Eruption, I have to hand it to the two teams for that bout, especially when Storm 2 won it out in the end.
 
Ouch for both Eruption and PP3D, both had issues with their wheels in their fight. Congrats to PPD3 for winning it, though.
 
At least Storm 2 got revenge for the lost against Typhoon by beating PP3D, which is a big plus. Considering the driver is from Typhoon 2.
 
Apollo did a great job against Storm 2 and, while sad to see Storm 2 go out, I have to really give Apollo credit for their fights and toppling the House Bots too.

Man, the tension and action just keeps getting better on Robot Wars!
 
|| Chompalot got its ass handed to it SO MUCH that it actually caught fire. You could say it went out in a ‘blaze of glory’ :P ||
 
|| I was so betting on Ironside 3 since it was doing so well during the beginning few matches. Damn judges lol ||
 
|| Hey, Thermidor 2, great to see you again! A shame you got knocked out in round one :( ||
 
|| Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, Pulsar worked its way from being “Knocked out in the first round” to “Winning the damn final!”. I’ve got to give them credit for that, good job guys! ||
 
|| What has Robot Wars taught us? DON’T GO INTO THE MATCHES WITH EXPOSED WHEELS! ||
 
|| This is it: It’s now Carbide vs Shockwave vs TR2 vs Apollo vs Pulsar vs [Insert Bot Here] (The judges still have to decide which runner up will enter the grand final)! ||

||Ouch, Chompalot going out in the first head to head had to hurt, especially given how beaten up they got in the Annihilator ||.
 
I can vouch for how hard it is to fight Gabriel, especially given its design makes a to Flippers useless against it.
 
Iornside 3 really did a good job against it, I was surprised its wheels held up to the spinning bar’s blows.
 
Man, Thermidor 2 got a bad break, but I will say Pulsar did a fine job in all of its battles and congrats for the win they got.

|| After watching all these, I’m not sure who’s gonna win the grand final. I thought it would be Carbide since they did so good at kicking ass but then TR2 & Apollo surprised me. ||

Man, now that was something else.
 
I felt bad for TR2 going out due to Apollo beating Thor, but they did a wonderful job, especially against Carbide. So congrats on Apollo being the champions!
 
Man, speaking of Carbide, they really did a number on poor Thor, pretty completely mutilated its armor and sheered off the steel plate on top of that.
 
Sad way to see both Shockwave and Pulsar go out, but I still tip my hat to them for getting into the final.
 
Here’s to hoping we get to see a Series 2 for this and some newer bots, if possible!

@EPPony  
I know, holy crap that was awesome! :)
 
|| I was really betting money on Carbide, they fucked up everyone (Even the fucking arena itself). Sigh Maybe next time…||
 
|| A shame, I really wanted to see TR2 fight Carbide :( ||
 
|| I know, all that way and then they’re tossed aside like they’re nothing ||
 
|| I really hope they do a series 2. We need more of the old classics. Some of the older house robots need to come back (Like Sgt Bash) ||
