Sparkey, calm down and stop posting for a while. He's just stating his opinion, which he is perfectly entitled to do. He never said Biohazard was uncreative, he just said it wasn't AS creative as Thermidor. And, as a matter of fact, I agree with him.

Battlebots did have a lot of ridiculous padding, but RW got straight to it with the fights and such. The other parts were simply inside info on the bots, and the House Robots gave an extra added twist. The creativity was much broader as well, you had designs such as Tazbot and Nightmare in the US, but they still looked like robots. Thermidor LOOKED like a lobster, and nobody can hold a candle to Razer in terms of aesthetics. RW vs. Battlebots, Robot Wars wins for me, hands down.

Do you garvin banned?

1. Yes?
2. Yes?

That's not helping.

dude. Before Vlad and Bio, most robots were RC cars with cut off saws glued on top.

1. Yes
2. Yes

Do you want SotG to give Spalky lessons in grammar?

Anyway, what are we talking about in this thread? *puts on glasses*

I was referring to as time went on- they were definitely great and influential designs for their time, but later on, they suffered a little from what I call "The Chaos 2 Problem"- as time went by, competitors advanced, whilst they kept their original designs. This in turn lead to them being outdated in some respects, with new competitors finding ways to take on robots of the classic designs as part of their initial creation.

Okay,Okay. Thank you GF and NFX for sticking up for me, but Sparkey is calming down. I did say that was my opinion. Now personally I like Thermidor more than BioHazzard. BUT I am more familiar with RW than BB. I think BioHazzard is a great bot, but Thermidor is,in my opinion, a cooler design. Biohazzard is also cool because it is a uniqe design.

Sparkbutt dropped the f-bomb on us and should have been warned/suspended, and or banned!

He is muted for 2 days, since I just noticed it!

Well now that this place is back up we have to discuss somthing. Kill and the rest of the mods were not to happy with this,and frankly neither was I. I do relize that you will fight abou this kind of stuff but keep it in control. Sparkey dropped an F-Bomb which was Uncalled for. If you want to fight go to Least Favorite Robot. That place is evil.Birthplace of Pulling a Garvin

I would agree with this. =] I actually preferred the first couple of series, with the Gauntlet and Trials.

New poll! Your favorite Rivalry. Since NFX was the only one to send an idea, his idea was used. Remember PM if you have an Idea for the Weekly Poll. The other option is for a rivalry I forgot, If you have a good rivalry that I forgot, post it and I will add it.

GoldenFox93 · « **Reply #573 on:** June 11, 2011, 05:48:52 PM »

Mortis and Cassius/Napalm?

By the power of Tweek. I chose Diotoir v Firestorm!

Sewer Snake / Last Rites

And to keep on the topic of favourite robots, not only was Chaos 2 my favourite Champion, it was also one of my all-time favourites in general.
Besides holding the honours of being the only robot to successfully defend its title in UK Robot Wars and being the first to put an opponent out of the arena, it was a great machine to watch, being fast, nimble, well-driven and with the flipping power to match.
That, and throwing the House Robots around several times was another plus :D

Yeah, I liked Chaos2.(Nowhere near the awsomeness of Razer though) And it is the best robot wars robot,statisticly, it has one 2 titles, although it is not my favorite flipper. Bigger Brother is my favorite flipper.

Yes- Chaos 2 holds the record for the longest winning streak in RW History (At 19 in the main competition), and the third-highest number of OOTAs, behind Firestorm and Dantomkia.

Razer v Tornado - It drove fanboy against fanboy, and was hilarious.
