Any note on what it looks like?

Here's the photo I was talking about... I concede that it's definitely not Bigger Brother but it looked like something cool.

. And speaking of the Brother, yay for no snot-nosed bratty children on the show! It was a legitimate fear, given the demographic of ABC. (And of course it goes without saying, the kids on Bigger Brother are exempt from being called snot-nosed children because they drive the robot and they're probably in their 20's or something by now).

I'm pretty sure Christian Carlberg's daughter will be on it.

Speaking of the Carlberg. We know what his weapon is now.

One of the alternates.

Isn`t that just a reskined pumpkin?

Somebody · « **Reply #407 on:** June 11, 2015, 08:36:40 PM »

Flamethrower is new though. Flamethrowers MUST have been encouraged by ABC. Makes for good TV though.

Edit: Flamethrower is not new

RedAce · « **Reply #408 on:** June 11, 2015, 09:03:14 PM »

I think Flamethrowers were used for a long time though.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #409 on:** June 11, 2015, 10:25:21 PM »

Certainly looks a lot cooler than the Pumpkin. Especially love the light-up tail.

No, I've seen the drive units Ian made for them, very nice, but the actual robot was a secret and remains so.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #411 on:** June 12, 2015, 12:08:03 PM »

Oh yeah, I just realized, Swamp Thing is that mystery bot that no one could identify in that Twitter pic a few weeks ago.

also, this:

new complete control's fork arm. Looking swag as always.

And a new commercial!

Resetti's Replicas · « **Reply #412 on:** June 12, 2015, 12:44:01 PM »

Awesome, that's confirmed screentime for Radioactive and the walkerbot, though it certainl doesn't look like it took full advantage of its extra weight. Also, are you sure that CC is taking part in battlebots this time? I got the impression from his FB post that he just made that yesteday.

Natef · « **Reply #413 on:** June 13, 2015, 09:43:58 AM »

Up close and personal with some of the bots!

Philippa · « **Reply #414 on:** June 13, 2015, 10:09:30 AM »

So which of you guys are gonna upload the episodes so the rest of us can watch?

Natef · « **Reply #415 on:** June 13, 2015, 10:16:17 AM »

They'd get taken down so it's probably not a good idea.

Thyrus · « **Reply #416 on:** June 13, 2015, 10:18:42 AM »

Worth a try

yugitom · « **Reply #417 on:** June 13, 2015, 10:22:52 AM »

They may not if they are unlisted.

Natef · « **Reply #418 on:** June 13, 2015, 11:22:24 AM »

I'm not going to do it, but someone else might do it.

Bobyasianboy · « **Reply #419 on:** June 13, 2015, 11:28:23 AM »

I'm uploading the video now so everyone can watch, give it a bit since youtube's uploader kinda sucks.

Poll

Who do you think will win the Giant Nut?
