Most Hated Robots

[Scorpion]

It was still a good bot IMO.

Yeah it was.
Just not a crow favourite like any of the aforementioned robots.

Well, it was the only one named after a character from The Magic Roundabout.
 
Apart from Ruf Ruf Dougal, maybe. But that sucked.

Oh. I hate Dantomkia. It had a design full of gimmicks and got outwedged (shame on them for not having a snapper wedge :P)
I also hate:
Hammer and Tong
Wild Thing (already mentioned but is my no. 1 least favourite bot)
Mace 2
Behemoth
Pussycat
Razer (kind of. I used to like razor but it's got boring)

My favourite bots are:
Robochicken
Bulldog Breed
Barberous 2
and Tetanus Booster.

Seems to be a general rule, really. Other than Cassius II, most of the ones I like seem to be very well-known.

LOL Hammer and Tong suuuuuuuckeeeeeeeeed...

[Natef]

Why Behemoth?

Just had a moment of RW Extreme Fridge Logic.

During that battle between Chaos 2, 13 Black and Razer (Arguably a dethroning moment of suck for both Chaos 2 and Razer), I noticed that after Chaos 2 broke down, Razer kept attacking it after it was immobilised to try and destroy it...


...the very same thing they were bitching about in Series 4!  Hypocrites.

It pretty much worked thoguh didn't it.

They apparently had to work on chaos 2 a lot to get it working again
why they didn't buid a chaos 3 at this time i will never know.

What worked? Surely they could've been able to tell Chaos 2 was immobilised instead of teaming up with everyone to try and utterly destroy it after immobilisation.
 
And yes, after that bout, it underwent a massive internal overhaul to get it working for displays again, but not for actual battles.
Likewise, in Series 7, the main teams and captains of the Robot Wars "Superbots" (EG. Chaos 2, HypnoDisc, Razer) were taking a break that year to allow some new teams a chance, and also to dedicate time to improving their robots.
I heard there was a HypnoDisc v2 in the works until RW was cancelled.

there was no agreement in that match to leave the opponent if the other had won... there was for the series 4 match but Pussycat continued the attack after they were beaten.. that was the problem. 

also the career ending damage to Chaos 2 was done by Psycho, not Razer from what I heard

also its Hypnodisc 4 that was in the works for Series 8 :P

1 = S3
2 = S4/S5
3 = S6/ E2 (the unreliable one)

[NFX]

I thought it was just a slightly tweaked version of Hypnodisc that went through the series. It was Pussycat 2 in the first Extreme, but everyone still called it Pussycat.

What happened to hypno-disk anyway, I've not heard much about it being in demonstrations TBH.

They all chipped in, really. 13 Black immobilised it, Razer then attacked it from behind repeatedly, 13 Black came in and tried to hit it again, and then it was flipped on the floor flipper, Mr Psycho hammered it repeatedly, crushed its chassis, carried it around the arena, and then pitted it.
 
Disproportionate retribution

nope 1 and 2 were completely different machines (there is a picture of them together in there archived site)

2 was upgraded due to the larger weight limit in S5

3 was 2's chassis IIRC but all the electronics were new and so was the disc.


in case you haven't figured out Hypnodisc is in fact my favorite all time robot.. I know it quite well  (it was also a heavy contributor to the inspiration for Backlash)

[Vertigo]

I don't like hypnodisc

If hypnodisc was never built, then 360 would never have been built either
Saying that, I have beat 360 but never lost to it, but 360 did cause damage that took about a month to repair.

[madman3]

That was pretty harsh. Impressive how it went out though.

Nice work on beating that beast, though 

[JoeBlo]

360 = epic win with awesomesauce on top 

it was epically unlucky to go out like that

[Vertigo]

No, it was my good driving :P

Come to think of it, I took out Savage AND 360 in that fight, & beauty did nothing but get torn apart
