PenDragonStudios robogames? never heard of that one, is it like robotica? as for battle bots, I picked that piece of news up at the Escapist here's the link www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/139750-New-Battlebots-TV-Show-ABC-Summer-2015
Man...I remember YEARS back me and my bro used to get all excited every night about it coming on, and we used to sit down eating dinner and watching it. Good times...
This show reminds me of old times at my house. l used to watch this show with my brother and my mom back before l lost TechTv channel in 2002? l don't know which year, but this show was the coolest thing ever!
I used to watch this show all the time when I was a kid!! such a cool idea for a show. Goddamn, bring this back w/ bullet proof glass and let the robots go all out
Wow. I totally remember my brother specifically wanted to do this with my dad when he was older. My brother was crushed when he found out it was cancelled.
i love robot wars, i can remember watching the robot wars special 2 episodes live on the bbc with also Jeremy clarkson as well presenting one of them i think
Quote of the day: "Welcome to Robot Wars, where even KINGS can lose their heads!" So true, especially since the House Robots (the kings) were challenged all the time, and sometimes the challenger won!
when this show was in america, the host was mick foley. i think his attitude fit this show much better. i cant believe they dont show this in america (atleast with the chitty cable deal i have).
this show was brilliant i never missed a show on BBC 2 , then channel 5 got the programme and killed it stone dead the bastards they didn't realise a lot of viewers took the series seriously , BRING ROBOT WARS BACK
@Potatonaught Its outer shell has blades attached and it spins seperately from the rest of the chassis to build up kinetic energy and charge at the opponent. In theory it is a very destructive design, and robots such as Typhoon and Corkscrew have used this well, ripping pieces of armour off robots and even immobilising them.. No idea how well Scary-Go-Round would have done, didn't really get a chance to show its stuff, but a Full Body Spinner can be one of the most deadly weapons.
Well I reckon there is around 85% of all Robot Wars episodes uploaded on youtube, so you won't have to look far if you want to find any particular robot. I was amazed when I first looked for Robot Wars on TH-cam ;D
@protestifications Both Robot Wars and Battlebots had awesome machines. That "huge wheel" Nightmare could rip most robots to shreds and can toss them several feet into the air. Biohazard was exceptionally well controlled and won many tournaments. Diesector could clamp, ram and hammer its opponents into submission. Mechavore could slice through incredibly tough armour. The Judges axe was powerful enough to make large holes in the thick steel floor of the Battlebots Arena, and that's just a few.
I loved the scene where some robot totally destroyed the triceratops robot! Sweet revenge for all who got terminated by that triceratops bot (forgot the name of it lol).
Holy crap, the amount of damage Fluffy did to Scarygoround, he should've easily gone through. I know he broke down but he wasn't out and he did the most damage, unlike the flippers that did crap all.
I remember a particular robot,he had an enormous electric saw atop it,and nothing else..it was the champion for alot of time,yet I can't remember its name.
its strangely satisfying to watch robots tear eachother to pieces, kinda like watching two beta fish fighting, without the death and guilt. :( hey i didn't know you can't put more than two in one tank!
I remember when this show would come on after Monday Night Raw when I was younger...those were the good days...
I miss Robot Wars. Was so badass.
100% true statement. Best gameshow on T.V.
Then heed my words! for it shall return!. . . or at least battle bots is.
Really?!
I know "Robogames" is coming to tv this year, but I didn't know Battlebots too!

I loved this show, and still do. My dad and I used to watch it all the time. :'D Such great memories.
Holy FUCK, blast from the past
Can't believe I forgot this awesome show
this was the best thing I had ever seen on TV as a kid and it is up to today. No idea why they stopped making it.
Ladies and gentlemen its been confirmed robot wars is returning on bbc2!!!!!
This show reminds me of old times at my house. l used to watch this show with my brother and my mom back before l lost TechTv channel in 2002? l don't know which year, but this show was the coolest thing ever!
This was when British TV was worth watching. BBC2 on a Friday - it was good times!
Ahhhh good old times, I absolutely freaking loved watching this when i was a kid ^^
I used to watch this with my dad when i was a little kid... good times :')
maan, if i got one penny for every pixel in this video i'd have one penny
No you wouldn't
You know what's sad? That's true.
You'd have £2.40
How much is that in €?
TheNewMaxico 2 euros and 95 cents to be precise
I remember watching this on TechTV as kid. I still have a bunch of video tapes of when they aired.
Haha man I miss this show. I used to watch it every time it was on TechTV back in 2002-2003.
Robot Wars is what happens when engineers go to heaven.
I miss watching this show. Glad we have BBC America over here to see it.
This takes me back to when I was 6 and I would always get so excited about this! Those were the days
This show inspired me to go to the library and read a thousand page book on mechanical construction. No bullshit!
I used to watch this show all the time when I was a kid!! such a cool idea for a show. Goddamn, bring this back w/ bullet proof glass and let the robots go all out
This is still one of the most awesome shows ever!
I went to see robot wars. it ranks as one of the best days of my life as it was immense and awsome
I'm so happy channel DAVE have started showing old episodes of this.
I loved this show as a kid. no wonder I loveed Real Steel so much when it came out..
I remember getting up at 6 in the morning to watch this when I was still in primary school, I did not know how to work the vcar at that time.
This is probably one of the coolest Robot Wars Intros.
I remember watching this in my early teens, this was truely a show to watch, the garbage we have on TV now is a joke.
I forgot just how much I loved this show
This is one of the best shows ever
i wish this show was still on, memories from my childhood
I used to watch Robot Wars all the time on TechTV when it still existed...
Wow. I totally remember my brother specifically wanted to do this with my dad when he was older. My brother was crushed when he found out it was cancelled.
Its still alive in 2011, Some of the old favourites are still fighting, plus a lot of new ones !! Roaming Robots are hosting shows all over the UK,
Hahaha, I remember watching this show when I was a lot younger, I fucking loved it and then out of nowhere it stopped being showed on TV...
I miss this soooo much this was my child hood programme
When we get ruled by robots, they will see this show and it will fuel their hate towards us....... STILL WORTH IT!!!!
I had never seen the first episode of series 7. Thanks for posting it.
For that matter, I've never seen those robots, except for Fluffy.
i love robot wars,
i can remember watching the robot wars special 2 episodes live on the bbc with also Jeremy clarkson as well presenting one of them i think
robot wars was my favorite show
i love the sound of a robot getting nailed
That show was awsome!
They need a bigger, more bad-ass robot death match show like this.
ahh just warms my heart to see robots getting torn apart inly to built again
I loved this show so much when I was a kid
OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!! this brings back so many memories as a kid, watching these and rooting for the robots... :')
Ahhh the memories :'))) i miss my childhood :(
bring robot wars back!! I loved this show.
You think this sucks? This is a great show! Who doesnt like robots and destruction together?
I loved this show.
RIP, Robot Wars

"What're your tactics?"
"Try to get under their skirts"
Does this sound familiar to you?
Quote of the day: "Welcome to Robot Wars, where even KINGS can lose their heads!"
So true, especially since the House Robots (the kings) were challenged all the time, and sometimes the challenger won!
lets sign a petition to bring this show back
when this show was in america, the host was mick foley. i think his attitude fit this show much better. i cant believe they dont show this in america (atleast with the chitty cable deal i have).

BRING ROBOT WARS BACK
i used to watch this whenever it was on tv :)
Yeah i watch this when i was little 2 it was a awesome show.
Watching robot wars nowadays it just makes me wonder how powerful the robts would be if they began the show again
i can't believe 700000 other people remembered this
I loved robot wars, wathched as a kid, Craig Charles just made the show. :-)

O.M.G.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I completely forgot about this show.... why is it not still around??

Well I reckon there is around 85% of all Robot Wars episodes uploaded on youtube, so you won't have to look far if you want to find any particular robot.
I was amazed when I first looked for Robot Wars on TH-cam ;D
love this show
yea that was a good time... loved this show when i was like 7, but i dont know where it went!
If discovery channel aired this, it would be a quick success

THIS WAS THE BEST SHOW EVER
i loved this show when i was a kid and still do on youtube to bad it got taken off
I wish this was back on tv it was awesome

Wow Robot Chaser we must have alot in common o.O
I love robot rage as well, what a coincidence!
Well I was like 6 years old, my father didn't have any problem letting me watch it but my mother thought it was too violent
I loved the scene where some robot totally destroyed the triceratops robot! Sweet revenge for all who got terminated by that triceratops bot (forgot the name of it lol).
@zflowes
Actually the US TV Show came from the UK. This was based off the US tournaments, but before that was not televised or widely accessible.
Theres a "Killer Robots" show starting on the Science channel memorial day @ 9PM, looks like a mirror of Robot Wars.
everyone used to go home from school and watch it :D
Holy crap, the amount of damage Fluffy did to Scarygoround, he should've easily gone through. I know he broke down but he wasn't out and he did the most damage, unlike the flippers that did crap all.
there's a yawning chasm in my soul which is Robot Wars shaped.
I used to have bets in my primary school about the tournaments on this. Razor, Hypnodisc, Chaos 2 and Pussycat came up a lot :)
remember watching this once. good times..
This will be the gladiatorfights of our time. In the future robots will be the ones in the "colosseum".
i started to watching this after 10 years because i watched yesterday "real steal" :-D
Brings back vivid memories.
God.. i loved hypno dics and especially Mathilda. I'm Dutch but i tuned into BCC for this... best show ever! Nerds becoming kewl!
That would be nice, when this show was on TV my parents didnt let me watch it :(
They dont make Robot Wars anymore, but they still show repeats on Challenge and Sci Fi in the UK.
man i miss this show
I remember a particular robot,he had an enormous electric saw atop it,and nothing else..it was the champion for alot of time,yet I can't remember its name.
its strangely satisfying to watch robots tear eachother to pieces, kinda like watching two beta fish fighting, without the death and guilt. :(
hey i didn't know you can't put more than two in one tank!
this never gets old
i watched that every day since i was 4, i even have a DVD still! ={
making one of these shows real talent
it was like the ultimate treat to watch!
