Does anyone else notice the relative lack of sound effects during the battles this series? Nice change if that is the case. I prefer the organic sounds of the robots hitting each other, even if the sounds are quieter.
@@Biadaz the recording session I was at was the second of three on the Thursday. During the session we saw the two Heat M melees, then the two Heat L melees, and then the two heat G melees - in that order
@joecurly3637 not sure about the heat as a whole, but as mentioned in my other reply, I saw six round one melees in what was the second of three recording sessions on the day. My guess is they did all round one heats together, all round two, and then all heat finals, but I wouldn't know for certain
I'm just curious in wanting to know how the heats were all filmed in order compared to how they were edited. Parts of me do have feelings they filmed the eliminators of about 3 heats to start off with, then filmed the semifinals and heat finals, as opposed to 1 heat at a time.
@@B455PL4Y3R Oh, I thought when it was pitted it lost. But since was still moving it got through that heat. If it didn't it would have likely been the other bot that was immobile, B.O.D.
@@B455PL4Y3R We as a viewer dont see the whole bout though only the edited down version. Tough As Nails caused more damage and were still aggressive enough in the first half of the fight,, they then won clearly the 2nd half of the fight.

You know what they should've done for Extreme, have the Spin Doctor from this version of Robot Wars fight the Spin Doctor of Extreme Warriors to see who is the true Spin Doctor of Robot Wars
20:16 micro mute team is not happy and by the way the house robots treated that robot they have Every right to be 22:40 and that what was left of micro mute
I don't think I've ever seen anyone walk-off like that during a fight since Series 1 Heat B Good to see Jayne showing sympathy to them however, if Philippa was there I reckon she would've just rubbed salt & added insult to their injuries!
What on earth is the point of letting the house robots completely wreck some poor competitor's robot that has been counted out? I would like to see a half-ton version of Carbide or Aftershock let loose on the house robots and shred them all into tiny twisted pieces of metal.
@@fromfin90 Not if Carbide was scaled up to match Sir Killalot in weight... Scaled-up Firestorm to flip Sir K (which Firestorm has already done, and Sir K has no srimech) and let mega-Carbide loose on the remains. It'd be only fair and the owners of a hundred mangled robots would be dancing with glee.
@@cr-yi7ep only reason Sir K. was op is because his massive weight and tracks, if he was a 'common' size he's be cannon fodder. but i agre and all out megabot war with Sir K klass and Killallot fighting would be entertaining
i think the final was great. if robochicken had retained enough gas, they would have been able to flip nails out of the arena, but they had no chance of damaging them. 7/10
In the second heat, Robochicken was dead lucky that Tough as Nails chose to go after Disco Inferno first, and also that B.O.D. got counted out seconds before Tough as Nails put Robochicken in the pit. It would have been really ironic if B.O.D. had gone through, having basically done nothing.
One thing to be mangled by a competitor who is the same weight as you. Quite different to be deliberately trashed for no reason whatever by a couple of heavyweights after you've been counted out. That's not combat, that's mindless vandalistic thuggery.
@@cjsimpson but it wasn't your robot that got smashed and it wasn't your time or money that was spent! Maybe when something like that happens to you, then you will react the same way.
@@richard29415 They knew that the three years work and all the money was for one reason - a three minute session in the arena. Yet after all that time and all that money, all they could come up with was a machine that didn't work. They were failures. Failure has a price.
Who'd thought that in a heat that had Panic Attack and Disco Inferno would end up having a heat final that: A: Didn't have either of those 2. And (Spoiler Alert) B: Had Robochicken in it.
I can see why the Mute guys were upset.. lol of all the times for Killalot to put a bot into Matildas spinner, it was their featherweight bot.. which got completely ripped apart
One thing I thought was better about the 2010s series was that there was less house robot filler once a battle was won, which meant they didn't needlessly destroy robots. Probably a sign of changing attitudes
@@stevedimmock930 yeah that's about the only thing though, unfortunately. The house robot design improvements were nice too, though. Instead of bringing Razer back to compete, they should have made it a house robot, in my opinion. Also should have made a hammer saw (like Sawblaze has) for Killalots arm instead of the drill. Although, that would be destructive... also, I think Matilda randomly decimating robots (namely Thor) with her spinner made up for the time they didn't spend destroying them at the end. But yeah, the times have changed. I've always liked and not liked the house robots at the same time.
@@burzaburza2970 Shows how competitive it got by this point. Bots were coming in unseeded that would have been winning the thing in series 3 and 4. This was the time to introduce limits and resrictions to keep it like this as it was fantastic competition. Instead they increased the limits and you end up with spinning domination in 8 bot competitions 😩.
Here's an idea, for full body spinners why don't they take a look at some of the top tier attack type Beyblade and design a weapon around the body like say a rage Longinus robot
I think spinners should have been limited or be limited. Its far to stupid nowadays because their unbeatable so the solution is to restrict them to 2000 rpm and not allow certain designs.
Sometimes i don't understand producers. Look at that heat, so many great robots and then you have heats like K, L or the on with Ming Seeded... there is like 6-7 better robots than Ming :S. Yeah yeach match two champions in just 2nd round
The only truly awful bot in this episode was Spin Doctor really (which IMO is one of the worst bots in RW history, it never worked and had obvious design flaws). BOD didn't look good either but could have maybe gone further in an easier heat
Is JP actually watching the fights he's commenting about? Panic Attack's forks broke at 27:16 - which was crucial to the fight - and it took JP a full half minute to notice.
Tough As Nails was a decent bot on second viewing.. appreciate certain bots more now and Tough As Nails was one that didnt get that at the time. The Dutch were all decent this series esp Gravity as well.
Pobre máquinas, yo jamás entraría a ese concurso, no me parece justo que los robots "de casa" intervengan y destruyan a los participantes. Mala política de espectáculo, aunque me dá gusto cuando algún concursante destruye a los robots "de casa".
@@TheLegoBattlebotsLab Disco Inferno only just started to cause destruction to the other robots as Tough as Nails pressed the pit release far too early.
But it added to the need of being a good driver which is a skill,, stay away or drive the opposition into the cpzd. And they all knew what they were signing up for. What I liked about this show is a few of them didnt mind being the cannon fodder for entertainment purposes,, ie grannys revenge types. They brought he show back in the 2010s and there were only 8 or so competing bots, all of them serious competitors with boring personalities. Tornados team (esp the captain) were mardy but it added to the fact you loved it when they lost it was funny hearing him whinge lol.

Jeez the Mute Boy’s were so pissed. I would feel sorry for them but tbh you should really be prepared for things like that in Robotic Combat.
