*insert 7-year old fanboy hype comment*

I'm glad it's coming around for another season.  I'm expecting some cool bots.  Can't wait.

And for God's sake, please let there be hosts who aren't garbage and annoying.  That's all I ask.

From what I understand, Morgan is the only member of the family who's still interested; Supreme Commander is busy with top secret government stuff (like actual projects, not fantasy)

And Brutality, but was fixed up. Not really viable now with a bot like Sewer Snake and Original Sin running around

Are they able to get under Biohazard? I haven't paid much attention to any of the non-Battlebots scene.

I mentioned this earlier, and this may be a bit out there, but I want The Master to make a comeback for this show. Mostly because it would be really cool to have one of the ORIGINAL original fighting robots come back in the ring.

I hope to see a lot more new faces, and not just a Battlebots/Robot Wars reunion.

Excellent news, it feels as if we're entering somewhat of a robot combat renaissance.

Who do we know is coming back or applying?

We know Bite Force, beta, Chomp, Hypershock, Nightmare, Overhaul, Tombstone, Witch Doctor, and Wrecks are all intending to come back.

We know that Team Whyachi is as well, with a new Son of Whyachi.

Which new teams do we know are applying. I know Mauler has expressed interest, and Team Storm may be working for a sponsor. Anyone else?

Hypothetically, I may be on if a friend of mine submits his designs and gets accepted. That's all I'm going to say at the moment.

Metabyte judging by the machine being rebuilt and the main guy being a huge baby when theoretical spinner limitations were being discussed (in order to not require wedges all the time forever) in the season2 rules discussion.
