    Nice to see Firestorm wearing Diotoir's shamrock there.
    Also, I like Pitbull as a robot. Shame it never competed again - the team sold it to a high school very near where I live! I'm curious as to what happened to it after that...

    Bad luck to both Pitbull and Thing II, both were actually on top before the spike fucked them over

    There's some good ones in here. Chaos 2, Firestorm, Panic Attack, Big Brother, Thing 2 - all very capable bots. A big jump up after that lacklustre Heat P.
    Firestorm vs Panic Attack - that was a mighty battle, two red and yellow bots tussling for an advantage, I really couldn't pick a winner. Kim Davies (Panic Attack) very gracious in defeat. (As were Trident after their defeat by Chaos 2).
    Chaos 2 vs Mace 2 was a surprisingly close battle, until Chaos got a good flip in - Mace's absence of a srimech was a fatal disadvantage.

    Panic Attack vs Firestorm is my personal favourite fight of series 3. Such a tactical, well driven battle from Alex Mordue and Kim Davies. People (rightly) give Graham Bone a lot of praise for his driving of Firestorm, but people forget how good Alex Mordue was too.

      Not just that match, Grim Reaper I thought could've went on to win that heat. And who knows, I wouldn't have been surprised if they knocked out Mace 2 as well. Though I very highly doubt they make it past Chaos 2.

    When I saw the first episode of this series witnessing Mace 2, I had hoped there would be a Chaos 2 and it happened that they would both win their heats. Before the semi-finals came, I really wanted to see Chaos 2 take on Mace 2 and get its revenge.

    Panic Attack lucky to make it to a second semi-final round. I think this was the worst version of Panic Attack, at least in terms of control. You can see how Kim is over turning in every attempt to keep it pointed at the opponent. A far cry from his precision driving that was on display in later series.
    Thing II unlucky to get flipped over, but honestly if you dont' have a srimech you've got no business winning anything.

    An interesting watch. I never really got into Series 3 much like Series 5 because the constant one-on-ones didn't strike me as particularly fun, especially with most robots not able to work properly. But I figured I could get a good episode with a series semi-final, and I was right. Mace 2/Big Brother was my highlight, but I won't be surprised if Panic Attack/Firestorm and Mace 2/Chaos 2 get into your top 15 list. Not pleased about the results of the first two fights though. You get the impression without the arena hazards, Thing 2 and Pitbull would have mullered their opposition. That would have put Thing 2 in the final, what an interesting turn of events that might have been.

    • @A9132robotwars

    • @gregoryatkin1509
      @gregoryatkin1509 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hmm. You have a point, but I feel that Nick Addams was the better driver, Thing 2 had a better turning circle and would simply get in and around Pitbull.

    • @A9132robotwars
      @A9132robotwars 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Fair point my man, but I feel that Thing 2 was a little less controlable. I'll say this though, it would be one hell of a battle!

    • @gregoryatkin1509
      @gregoryatkin1509 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Oh yes, I'd have loved to see that. I think the controversy of Behemoth's loss definitely soured Pitbull in the minds of some people when it did get there fairly. Shame it never returned.

    • @A9132robotwars
      @A9132robotwars 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Agreed. Sure Pitbull were lucky, but they were imo winning at that moment anyway. tbh, I would have loved to see that battle go the full length. Would have been one of the best of the series.
