[Probably Rob]

THIS IS IT

Did this statement really need a spoiler?

Yes.

[Meganerdbomb]

BiteForce will need more than magnets to win this one.

[Natef]

Awww yeah Paul bringing out the history books.

[G.K.]

Good fight. I'd probably give it to Bite Force but too close to call

[S.T.C.]

That last fight tho, I'm pulling for magnet force to win here.

[Juza1]

Goddammit I hate these commercials. There's too much and they're like 100% more annoying than here in Finland

[Natef]

Well done Paul!

[yugitom]

I don't understand how anyone can think that Tombstone would have won after that. They got thrashed. Tombstone could do nothing but slightly dent Biteforce's wedge and Biteforce controlled Tombstone throughout the majority of the fight. I knew they were going to win due to how well they sponged hits from Warhead. Say what you want about their spinner, it could pack a good punch and it barely dented Biteforce's wedge during their match. I'm really happy with the outcome as Biteforce is one of my favourite bots in the competition.

[G.K.]

YAY! A win for tactics! Really enjoyed watching Bite Force progress through this competition smartly.

[Tashic]

Very good battles, and congratulations to Paul for the victory, well deserved!

[Mr. AS]

Congrats to team tombstone for shooting themselves in the foot before the final match even started.

[Thyrus]

Just watched the fights on youtube. What happend between em?
Congrats to the deserving win. I was rooting for the winner but the runner up is a damn good mashine. Finally the roboteers can talk free about outcomes n stuff after beeing silenced by abc :P
I would love to ask Ray some questions

[Resetti's Replicas]

A **** load of talking building up to the finale.  Also, here's an AMA from Ray on Reddit; he might have answered the Q's you wanted to ask him:

What a fantastic final episode.  Bite Force is a spectacular design.  I want a Bump N' Bash version on my desk in the morning.  You heard me ABC. :P
Also, a second season would be nice, with double the robots, pretty please. ^_^

Also, by the way, this happened.

[Shinkioh]

Oh NOW Ghost Raptor broke down. I guess Bite Force's anti-push magnets worked against its shock divergence system.

[MassimoV]

Damn, can't hop out the Porsche now

[Shinkioh]

So this is the final episode but... the following Grudge Matches are still not shown.

Hypershock vs. Icewave
Stinger: The Killer Bee vs. Bulldog vs. The Splatter
Complete Control vs. Razorback

What happened to them? Are they not gonna show them at all?

[Thyrus]

Maybe they plan on releasing a dvd and those matched would be exclusive

I heard they ran those fights while the TV crews were on break. Probably just something special for the people who actually went to the filming

[JoeBlo]

I must be the only one thats a little disappointed in that final..

the decision itself was a tough call (although I feel like Bite Force was cleverly disguising some immobility at the end) and the bite force guys seem really nice but I always feel like its a little sour when someone just drops on a solid piece of armour and rolls around the for win.. I get its a good strategy but at least Bronco was willing to try and mount some offence..

That said, I think the series as a whole can be considered a success.. very enjoyable, bucket loads of action, I hope this is the beginning of more episodes in the future
