Here's a thread for any appearances of robots or robot combat in other TV shows
Team Coolrobots had their bot Knee Breaker guest star as a murder weapon on CSI. The victim, murderer, and accused happened to have the same names as the team members (Christian, Luke, Brian). Read into that what you will.

Im going to mention Gamma Raptor and Dr Inferno Jr appearing on Disney's absolute horror of a show Lab Rats. To this day one of the saddest things Ive seen on tv.
Oh yeah Preda Raptor was there too, and he was the only robot that kept its original name. Apparently BB name licenses still exist.
-
Missing Link had several appearances in the television show Grownups, as "Circuits"

gonna be honest, "the merchant of menace" was a great bot name. so was "josh" for some reason.
-
The names were pretty well done, just about nothing else was. I ranted about it on facebook last year, maybe i'll expand it into a full blog article someday
-
two other builders and i were doing a live facebook discussion.
i will have to say, it could've been a lot worse. probably the only redeeming factor aside from the bots was hal sparks. he looked like he was having a lot of fun while on set.
as far as robot combat representations in pop culture goes, zoey 101 is probably the worst IMO
-
I once had the misfortune to watch some terrible CBBC show called Sadie J, one of her friends made a robot.
It was made out of an old paper shredding machine IIRC.
It came to life.
It attacked the humans.
It went beep and talked.
It could only be destroyed by feeding it paper.
What.
Help.
-
If I recall correctly the RFL was mentioned in the Big Bang Theory's episode about fighting robots
-
I think Diesectpr and a couple of other bots were in the same CSI episode above. They were fighting in a cage and what not.
-
In an Episode of Simon Peggs episode a Robot Wars bot was seen.
Also 2 bots of the german wars (one of them was Luzifer the former Black Hole) were used in an episode of the german tv show Alarm für Kobra 11 (Alarm for Cobra 11) a TV crime show.

Toro and Overkill were seen fighting each other if I'm correct
-
Toro and Voltronic fought on a different show.
-
Here was an episode of Kim Possible where robots were fighting in a cage underground. It's hard to remember because I saw it when I was like 6-7 years old. The Simpsons also had a robot combat themed episode where Homer pretends to be Bart's robot and wins a bunch of fights.
-
Only things you need to know are:
There is no such thing as an illegal weapon.
There is only one weight category - robotweight.
They go beep.
They will talk and try to kill you.

I remembered the kim possible one.
i remmebered this old shot called team rocket? They had a robot combat episode
-
I remember seeing one of Votesaxon's vids saying that the Big Brother show made a robot and actually fought bigger brother

Also the murderer's robot was Toe Crusher. It apparently was obliterated by Knee Breaker.

I think you have that backwards...
Also there was a Malcolm in the Middle episode with a robot. Its special weapon was like bees or something
-
In an Episode of Simon Peggs episode a Robot Wars bot was seen.
You mean Spaced? There was a whole episode on Robot Combat, had a fair few bot cameos in it too. Probably one of my favourite episodes.

yeah I meant that one. And I meant to write "episode of Simon Peggs show".

Very recently, on dick and doms great inventions (iirc), grant helped them make a robot to fight beauty 2

No, he has it right. Luke's bot Toe Crusher gets wrecked by Christian's bot Knee Breaker, so in revenge, Luke hijacks Knee Breaker, kills Christian, and frames Brian.
-
Oh okay. I seem to remember Knee Breaker being the killer's robot for some reason.
-
there were several bots on an episode of "auction hunters", entitled "battle bought". i saved some screencaps of them here:

jason bardis and chuck pitzer (i believe) are in it, too!
-
I see Preda Raptor and one of the VD bots there...
-
I remember that one, the HW Looks like a VD Bot. Must be Team VD. I'd totally lose it if I bought a garage and got a HW out of it.
-
nah it's a MW from team think tank
-
Was playing Borderlands 2 recently. When Gaige summons her Deathtrap she has random lines.One of them is a reference to BattleBots.
"It's robot fighting time"
-
Then of course Deadblow has made a few guest appearances on Mythbusters a few times. Like to have gotten chomped on by an alligator in one episode.
-
Tripulta Raptor was in that one Budweiser ad that parodied Battlebots.
Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights show had an episode where the club hosted a "Robot Wars" night, all of the robots were made out of various household items such as biscuit tins and dustpans.

Man, Bardis looks weird with almost completely gray hair.
-
So.... Nobody mentioned that episode of Megas XLR that had a Battle Bots-esque scene in it?
-
I have no idea what that is
-
I have no idea what that is
seconded

I have no idea what that is
I do but I barely saw it
If we're doing cartoons, Rocket Power had a battlebots episode. That one I remember clearly.
-
zoey 101
obscure references but thats what you get

the nerds' robot was a modified deb bot, i believe
-
Zoey's POS bot got thrashed, and I loved it.
-
THEN QUINN USED UNTETHERED PROJECTILES!
i actually got upset about that
LASORS? IN ROBoT WARS?!

holy BLOOP guys can we not talk about the worst shows on television in this thread
Seriously you said "Megas XLR" and I cringed, then "Rocket Power" and I threw up a little, and then followed that up with "Zoey 101"? Speaking as someone who grew up in a different decade (and still missed what was arguably the best one for TV shows and cartoons) than some of you, I am so -- so -- sorry that your collective childhoods were filled with such garbage.
Had to BLOOP you. Sorry. -Craaig
-
I believe there was one episode of Malcom in the Middle featuring a Battlebots rumble and the rest of the episode had them building their bot.

When has Megas XLR been bad?
-
you're right i just had an entire conversation over the internet about zoey 101
odd sentence is odd

Given your avatar we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. Just like how you can't tell me why Godzilla 1998 was a bad movie.
edit: I may have actually confused Megas XLR with another similar show, but I can't remember what it was.
I believe there was one episode of Malcom in the Middle featuring a Battlebots rumble and the rest of the episode had them building their bot.
They were watching parts of the Long Beach 1999 event on TV, and then they made a robot and Bryan Cranston put laser guided bees on it and named it after his wife.

Hey the thread title is "bots in pop culture", and pop culture never means good.

I mean, you CAN but that doesn't mean I will listen. My autistic obsession is Godzilla 1998.
