I was surprised when someone told me there was a show similar to Robot Wars in South Korea. Initially I expected those weird Humanoid fetish robots doing karate or some shenanigans like that, but looking up on YT and navigating through the pornography; I found it.

Robot Power. This show had a surprising range of robots that fought (around 20+) And even have some weird house robot. They do a Trial (kind of based around Stock Car from series 1) As round 1, Then 2 Fights in round 2. Every now and then they throw in those wierd Fetish bots for whatevers. But it seems pretty cool. The arena is like a mix of Battlebots and Robot Wars

SKBT would love this show.

Edit: Just saw the House Robot, loving how it would get absolutely raped by most things on Robot Wars.

Edit: kurt I never knew you learned ninjitsu

I like how of the 5 robots shown, 3 of them are that weird black hollow wedge with teeth. XD

This is a really cool show, great find!

I like how there seems to be no restrictions on weight! Odd. Strange that a Korean team never took part in the us or UK.

Thanks!

Apparently it ran on a popular South Korean channel in the mornings (The guy who showed me lived in South Korea). It went 2 Seasons long from 2008-2009. Around this time we were hype for Battlebots coming back, When a new robot combat show was here the whole time

EDIT: RFS, you should legit write a review on this show. I love your writings (like the one on Killer Robots) So it'd probably be halarious

I won't lie, I thought about it just now. I don't know any of the robot names though XD

Good to see Kim Jong Un enjoys robot combat.

Seriously. Episode 1, Part 2. 11:05, check it.

Very good find. Might watch more of it soon.

Out of the four that did Junior Robot which one is Data from The Goonies?

Neat. I wonder if there's anymore international robot combat shows we don't know about.

Pretty sweet, not gonna lie.

the underweight pentagon is Superman. That's what its called and the Superman logo is scratched into the back

I heard the white spinner in episode 2's name as tupac but i'm pretty sure thats not what it is

RFS · « **Reply #15 on:** July 26, 2014, 03:31:58 PM »

There's a really unique Last Rites-esque spinner in this video at around 4:20 --

Has some oddly cambered wheels and scoots around. It doesn't WIN, but it's neat looking.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #16 on:** July 26, 2014, 03:32:49 PM »

Fairly certain the red bar spinner in episode 2 is named Carnage
