Sergeant Politeness Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Well, until my hopes and prayers of a Robot Wars reboot is realized, we have a reboot (rebot maybe?) of Battlebots. Honestly, I enjoyed it well enough (although I hated all the corniness and "sex appeal" of the original series so a bit more of a serious direction was good to me). Did anyone else on here watch it? If so what were your thoughts and maybe favorite robot? Hell, let's just make this one big thread on robotic combat and maybe even some reminiscing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdemko Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Clad the impaler was one on my favorites along with Whyachi and nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Cannon Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I enjoyed it, but I honestly miss the old commentary (Bill Dwyer/Tim Green). There was just something about, like you said, the comical relief of the commentary, even though the actual competition was still completely serious. With that being said, I was slightly disappointed that Bronco didn't beat Tombstone; The team has before, but just in a lesser-known league.

NavySonicShell Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I watched something online where a guy cut out all the guff from each episode and got it down to just the fights. The bot I liked the most won too, so that was cool. If anyone is interested in those videos I can post them in here later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRetroStyle Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I've seen a few episodes on ABC, and I was surprised by the way a battle bot literally DEMOLISHED a bot named Rex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Politeness Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 The first video was the battle I was talking about. It could barely move after a few hits! I think that has more to do with the design and how it was relatively untested versus actual damage done by the robot. Side note- The creator of the bot that beat Wrex? She's best known for this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
