Yellow Jacket Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 I watched some snippits of the Series return of Battlebots and it just brought me back to my childhood when I watched Robot Wars on G4, before it became political. So I thought I'd get your thoughts on the return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarlandChaos Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Honestly, I never watched Battlebots, but I love watching robots duke it out, so I'd probably get a big kick out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow Jacket Posted June 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Yo Nightmare and Icewave were beasts! I would love for a return from Razer. Granted he's outdated. Return from Warhead was cool. Too bad he lost to a Wedge.And I think Robot Wars was on G4 for lil bit. Can't exactly remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow Jacket Posted June 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 But dude, Nightmare like shredded that one minibot! Its a shame he lost, had he not been immobilized I'm sure he would've won. That big ass blade just destroys things. My family were watching when he shredded the minibot and were all like "HOLY sheet"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodfusion Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 I remember watching Robot Wars when I was younger on TV, stuff like Hypno Disk and Chaos 2 were awesome. Robots killing each other is so fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow Jacket Posted June 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 I LOVED Hypnodisc, Pussycat, Panic Attack, Firestorm and my personal favorite: the two-time World Champion, Razer. Its a shame that show got screwed over by politics though. At least we have the return of Battlebots! Maybe we'll see the return of a couple of Robot Wars veterans. They'll be outdated but I just want to see them one last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow Jacket Posted June 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 Nah. I went about 8 years without cable after Robot Wars was cancelled. And I watched Robot Wars because at the time I never heard of Battlebots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow Jacket Posted June 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 God damn!!!! That blade is awesome! Reminds me of Hypnodisc just different angle of the blade. Do you know what style the blade is? Like flywheel or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toffee. Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Control used a funking net, just to be an ass. My exact reaction: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow Jacket Posted June 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Yup that fits. Surprised though that a veteran not like Nightmare is still a beast by today standards. Guess he'll always be one of the greats. I think Warhead needs some design modifications though. It shouldn't be too hard though as they were the same guys who made Razer. The two-time Robot Wars Series Champion. Wonder who will be Champ this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Razer had a 1-off battle in a Battlebots Rumble; he preformed rather poorly.Nightmare not getting a wildcard, though.... That was funking stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow Jacket Posted June 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Tell me about it. Nightmare would have DESTROYED the other bots if he won. They seriously should have given him a wildcard slot. And Razer did average with a 3-3 in Battlebots but he did win the 1999 Long Beach event.

Toffee. Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Thing is... Horizontal and vertical spinners seem to be overtaking Battlebots this time around, and if those kinds of bots collide.... It's a matter of who breaks first, if they collide head-on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow Jacket Posted June 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 I wanna see Nightmare vs Icewave. Each one in my opinion were practically destroying their opponents. And Nightmare is vertical. Icewave is horizontal. They need to. MAKE. THIS. HAPPEN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Ok, so.... Icewave lost, and it upset the balance of power because a lot of us wanted to see Icewave fight Tombstone.Also some friends of mine and I were talking; They should totally have a Rumble.
