SoW may be retired (I'm not exactly certain). I know that Warrior SKF/Warrior Clan is fully retired and being replaced by the hydraulic flipper known as Hydra.

As for SoW, that may be replaced by Walking Death, a gas powered walking spinner.

The bar looks heavier than the body and it doesn't look stable.
BB weight limit is 250lbs, so the bar is almost half the weight of the body.

It has been rumored that magical closet bronies (a.k.a what apanx has in his bed) will be in BattleBots.

I'm sorry for humping bumping.
A Carbide clone for that.

Icewave met its end when Rotator turned that engine on Icewave into scrap metal.


...and wait... NO TOMBSTONE?

Okay, this season is either Bite Forces or Sawblaze’s for the taking. (Or Yeti’s.)

This is good, because this will mean the competition will be different, and not just Tombstone wiping the battlebox floor with its opponents.

Tombstone hopefully has a different weapon. Right?

Tombstone isn't Tombstone without that massive bar. Besides, it's quite the thing to watch.

Also, doesn't it have new panels over the weapon support?

This may come as a shock, but Tombstone is not a horizontal spinner this season. It is a vertical spinner.

April Fools was on Monday. It's a HS.

Oh, okay, this season is Tombstone’s. Or Bite Force’s. One of these two will likely win.

I'm going for HUGE. That bot deserves to win.
Still hope it doesn't face Tombstone, because Tombstone would tear it up like Icewave did...

I have a feeling that I might have left out a bot in the poll
Is Reality competing this season or not?

I reckon Whiplash will take it this time. If they’ve improved the robot and learned from their experiences I think they’ll be really tough to beat again.

I'm still convinced it just runs on magic, and the paintjob only double-confirms that fact.

WHAT  THE  EVER  LIVING  FU'CK  IS  THIS
I'd say my mixed feelings on it- mostly negative- but I'll just let all of you jump the gun and assume I'm having wet dreams about MuH WitTLE pOnEEz. I'm safe to assume this because it's more then likely the case.

Oh, and heres that pic of Faruq that nobody wanted:

Lol. When I was watching the show and Faruq made that face , I thought it would be a good meme format. Could someone add captions saying, " All the pretty girls be like:"?

So big question I have is:
Can HyperShock drive backwards?
He showed off his control device a few episodes back, all about full throttle, and then he almost took down BiteForce, but went weapon to weapon instead of backing away at the crucial moment...

It can, was just a driving mistake.
