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.

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

I think you have that backwards...

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.

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.

Was playing Borderlands 2 recently. When Gaige summons her Deathtrap she has random lines.One of them is a reference to BattleBots.

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.

So.... Nobody mentioned that episode of Megas XLR that had a Battle Bots-esque scene in it?

Natef · « **Reply #32 on:** June 04, 2014, 06:43:04 AM »

I do but I barely saw it

If we're doing cartoons, Rocket Power had a battlebots episode. That one I remember clearly.
