If you somehow got past Matilda, Sir Killalot will put an end to your career.
Hot take: Sir Killalot was a bitch who let the other house robots do the work, and then came in at the end to take the glory.
Matilda and Shunt were the powerhouses of the house robots IMO.
There was a game for it on PS2 that slapped too
Razor and hypnodisk were absolute beasts
Maybe it’s just camera tricks, or nostalgia, but the old robots seemed MASSIVE and powerful, and the robots in the new series seem tiny competitively.
It’s honestly just not as exciting to watch now because they all look like small toys that bounce around the arena, compared to the old robots that actually looked like they could flip your car into the pit.
Robot Wars family team is my aspiration as a parent.
Or Razor!
Getting shredded by Hypnodisc was at least an honourable way to go.
While Jonathan Pearce laughs maniacally. Good times!
It’s not a patch on the UK show but BattleBots is quite good fun. Carbide is basically their version of Hypodisc. Just tearing shreds out of anything it comes up against.
Or were flipped into the next century by chaos 2
I liked the one that was just a remote control car inside a big paper mache sprout.
Razor was always my favourite. Kept killing itself.
I miss the early Robot Wars, when it was hosted by Clarkson and they had a bunch of different games like The Gauntlet, Sumo, Tug of War, etc, it meant that robots had to be more well rounded, and not just flippers on wheels.
gimme Nemesis on fire for the 50th time, please and thank you
Didn’t Hypnodisc have to be downgraded for the later series because it was just too powerful?
My favourite Robot Wars moment was when Cassius got turned upside down by one of the house robots and then just flipped himself back over into it’s feet! (well, wheels). It was the first time a robot had self-righted and inspired a fair few other teams later. What a moment that was to watch as a kid!
NHRL is really good!
I remember the miniclip game of it
Love the sentiment behind this! Very relatable!
Only the real ones will remember Panic Attack
LOL, Robot Wars had it’s own version in loads of countries
Them’s the rules.
As a non Brit. I can say I thoroughly loved this show. It was bigger than you would expect in the Middle East. The American version was popular too.
