I called it. I fucking called it. [img]http://i3.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article7171021.ece/ALTERNATES/s615/Robot-Wars.jpg[/img] [quote] Mentorn Scotland, part of the Tinopolis Group, has been commissioned by BBC Two to produce a new series of the man and machine battle series Robot Wars, it was announced today. The iconic entertainment show will return as a 6x60’ series and will feature a new structure with more robots, more battles and more science than ever before. The new series includes a raft of technological advances since the show first aired over a decade ago, and viewers can expect to see more innovative fighting machines as teams of amateur roboteers battle it out to win the coveted Robot Wars title.[/quote] [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2016/robot-wars-returns[/url] [url]http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2016-01/13/robot-wars-reboot-bbc[/url] [url]http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/robot-wars-rebooted-bbc-two-7171002[/url]

quadcopter battles pls

[QUOTE=Scot;49521009]quadcopter battles pls[/QUOTE] Oh God, that will be sweet.

I never realised the size of the robots until I watched a rerun of an old ep recently. This Robots spinning disc was the size of an adult males torso [t]http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/robotwars/images/d/d9/Hypno-disc.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20091013184706[/t] I mean, look how big this cunt is [t]http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/robotwars/images/b/b4/Mr._Psycho_Size.png/revision/latest?cb=20120525192120[/t]

Oh my fucking god yES Robot Wars was my jam as a kid, seeing it coming for a return is literally the best news I've ever heard! I'm so ready, I wonder if they've still got all the old house robots...?

I hope there's more than just disks and flippers.

Craig Charles or I'm not watching!!

Hopefully it will be a little closer to what it was when it first started with a greater variety of challenges rather than just robots thumping each other for 45 minutes.

bring back craig

The BattleBots revival was great, of course. But it won't be as good, as Robot Wars.:joy:

BRING BACK CRAIG, BRING BACK SIR KILLALOT!

Oh shit its being held in glasgow, definitely gonna try to get into the audience.

Craig Charles as host a again please.

YESS YESSSS YEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS HYPNODISC PLS RETURN

And Matilda has been used during the live shows. I'm willing to bet that the other original house robots are still in one peice although, i'd feel like they would need a serious revamp.

I hope they add assault courses and shit as well as them just wailing on each other, would be cool to see and probably cut down on everything being flywheels or flippers.

Honestly though if they don't bring Craig Charles back for this they're stupid. He's just left Corrie and it would be perfect

robot wars was the shit, can't wait for the reboot

Oh man, imagine a sort of mad max twist on it. It'd look fucking sick. [editline]13th January 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Cypher_09;49521172]Honestly though if they don't bring Craig Charles back for this they're stupid. He's just left Corrie and it would be perfect[/QUOTE] He was half the show for me.

CHAOS 2 AND TORNADO #1, HYPE AS FUCK

allow ranged weapons have special episodes where members of the audience are picked and armed to fight off robots surviving audience member of the season has cybernetic enhancements and becomes a new house robot

-[i]CEASE[/i]-

My dick just jettisoned.

reverse the aging of craig charles and cybernetically enhance him have him appear normal until the very last episode of the season, where he announces "you have fought for the robot wars cup, but now fight FOR YOUR SURVIVAL", explodes out of a wall wielding gatling guns and wrecking ball arms audience and all contender robots have to bring down cyber-craig charles, which ends with Joe Fagin "Back with the Boys"

I hope to god they bring Razor back, that thing was incredible. And while they're at it Diotor has to be there too even if it's just because it's covered in carpet so Sgt Bash can actually use the worthless flamethrower.

[b]DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN[/b] [i]IT'S COLD OUTSIIIIIIDE...[/i] the cast of Red Dwarf runs in, Rimmer ready to cash in on his Money in The Bank contract.

new heel of the show is a sir killalot powered by the captured souls of previous seasons failed contenders he loudly taunts the audience in the voices of their stolen loved ones whenever he beats another robot

holy [i][b]shit[/b][/i]

season 2 features a robot that accidentally gains sentience mid-battle, who then goes on to make a 25 minute speech to the audience about the rights of machine he is then soundly destroyed by sir killalot, who steals his newly gained soul

If there's no crazy Irishmen fielding robots covered in highly flammable red and black fur, I'm going to be disappointed.
