Oh Mr. Crosby. Why did you enter that? [media][URL]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypfaBZgoYeE[/URL][/media]
I've still got the game. Did the show get cancelled or something?
[QUOTE=Memobot;23891470]I've just seen 2 episodes on Dave.

George Francis must have used to been a butch woman. Or maybe he is
fucking brilliant videos! more of the good ones please [editline]12:38PM[/editline] wheres the video of where they knocked hypnodiscs disc off?
[QUOTE=acds;23892359]Flipping piece of shit, I always hated Chaos 2.[/QUOTE] It was awesome, mainly because of its awesome driver. I always go for the underdogs and chaos 2 always is the underdog because all it has is a flipper, rather than a fucking spinning blade or an axe, and it still owns them all!
why was hypnodiscs disc so powerful? it looked like it just had rounded edges.
[QUOTE=Cypher_09;23893398]why was hypnodiscs disc so powerful? it looked like it just had rounded edges.[/QUOTE] naw.. it had like blades around the side.

Now ripping them to shreds, or putting giant holes all over them. You can tell when a robot has been in a fight with Razer because its weapon is its signature, and the robot would have gaping holes all over it xD
I said I'd upload photos of some of the old toys I have, these are classics. I only seem to have the 2 house robots and I remember having Hypno disk but I think he's buried.

I remember Cassius; the first robot to use a shrimek. Sir Killalot kept flipping it over, then it used it's flipped and launched into the air and flipped back up, twice!
When I first saw this I laughed so hard.. it was purely to protect itself from Razer.. nothing else, but that blade was pretty powerful. [img]http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091019190052/robotwars/images/8/86/Tornado_with_frame.jpg[/img]

ACTIVATE. Yesss, robot wars was an awesome part of my childhood.

[editline]02:33PM[/editline] [QUOTE=The DooD;23893986]Didn't they get suspended over the pit at least once using that?[/QUOTE] Hahaha, I remember that. Whenever anything got into a fight with Razer it was fucked up badly (even Matilda) The only time that I can remember Razer doing little-to-no damage was a round where Sir Killalot just dumped him into the pit. Also, anybody have a clip of the Armed Forces Showdown? I loved that one.
[QUOTE=The Mighty Boatman;23871175]he was replaced by Lister from Red Dwarf.[/QUOTE] :buddy: Remember when Chaos 2 flipped himself back up? Shit got real that day. Then every contestant had a "self-righting mechanism".
[IMG]http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/1/19484/694196-robot_wars_large.jpg[/IMG] I had the PS2 version, but was still awesome. And Shunt was my favorite house robot. I have a pull back and go toy around here somewhere.
Oh god, all I can remember is this tiny robot, it was really small in comparison to all the others BUT IT KICKED ASS. It's death was by far the best ever - Launched out and nearly took out the camera train.
Oh my fuc This was the best thing ever Loved Hypnodisk and Razor.
[QUOTE=Nigey Nige;23894353]:buddy: Remember when Chaos 2 flipped himself back up? Shit got real that day. Then every contestant had a "self-righting mechanism".[/QUOTE] Hahaha yeah. Chaos really did an awful lot to ruin the show.
Wasnt there some gauntlet mode, with giant swinging balls and barrels?
[QUOTE=shadow_of_intent;23894771]Wasnt there some gauntlet mode, with giant swinging balls and barrels?[/QUOTE] I think that was in series one, however there isn't much I remember from then. Series 3 with Hypnodisc = :gizz: Also, I've seen all of the house robots IRL - Had pictures taken with them. Originals and the added ones. Also have seen Razor and Chaos II. Hypnodisc is my favourite by far, however the team behind Chaos II live not far from me :v:

Would be awesome if they resurrected this show, and removed some of the limitations. I think larger robots should be allowed (I'm not talking about house-size of course) and flamethrowers and such should be allowed too (I'm not sure if this wasn't allowed, but I never saw anyone using it).
Robots are friggin expensive to make.. Hypnodisc mustve costed thousands to make.
I used to have a remote control Matilda with moving tusks! It was so cool! And Panic Attack was always my favourite. [b]They play episodes an episode of Robot Wars Extreme on 'Dave' at about 3GMT or something monday to friday[/b]
Me and my uncle built a battlebot when I was 10. Fucking hell I loved that show.
roadblock was the greatest fucking robot ever. if you disagree you are stupid.
