I hate Tornado for that tactic, however, by using it, they DID win - fairly.

Yup. I hated Panic Attack, because it was boring. It had Lifter, which didn't do any effect or flip opponents.

I did not like Gravedigger. It was pretty much a Cassius rip-off. Though they did make it to the semi's. I also dont like them cos they beat Mortis, my fave robot. The armour. What the heck was it made of? it got damaged easily.

Panic Attack was a legend! XD Kim's driving was amazing. If PA is boring, then I hate to see people's opinions on Storm II etc.

Anyway. I don't like Tornado. As I think I've probably made clear. :P

I liked almost every Robot.
Why do so many people hat clones? Why not taking a weaponery of a bot the was succesfull and try to improve it?So Axe Awe,Iron Awe, Comengetorix and Hydra are clones of Mortis. Firestorm, Gravedigger, UFO and Mute are clones of Cassius. M2, Atomic, Gravity, Wheely Big Cheese, Dantomkia, Iron Awe, Kronic the Wedgehog, Prizephita, Thermidor and all the others are clones of Chaos 2.

The one bot I hate is Thyphoon 2 since it was overpowerd for the Robot Wars TV SHOW

for the tornado topic.. one thing I am sure of.. it would have been a different story if RW allowed Warhead to enter :P I would have loved to see it compete in the UK.

I don't understand the problem with Tornado's extra armor used against Razer.  As long as it is under the weight limit in its heaviest configuration and safe enough for the arena to contain it there is no reason a robot should be barred from compitition. It may seem "cheap" to some people that Tornado was allowed to change mid compitition but that is perfectly legal. There is no rule that says you aren't allowed to change your bot. Just watch Wedge of Doom VS Code Black and then another fight with wedge of doom. I don't see anyone complaining about that when WoD changed his wedge.


If it means anything to you guys I will be running interchangable armor next event I fight at.

I feel it ruined the spirit of competition myself.... but obviously its related to RW's having stupid flaws in there rules which also brings my point of very obvious rigging in RW.. no doubt,


but its a production television show not actual competition so just enjoy the drama for what it is because thats why its there, if you want straight up fighting watch battlebots imo.

My least favourite is either the gold panic attack for sheer dissapointment value, or sir chromalot.

I mean i remember at the time it being in a lot of battles and it was useless in every one.

What they should have done for Robot Wars is that if a bot couldn't actually fall into the pit then it was disqualified. I mean REALLY.

well this comes to my point I made earlier.. Craig was under the impression they had to fit in the pit while Tornado said "they allowed that size"

if you ask me.. with RW's known rigging I say they stretched the rules for it.. most likly to create more drama (its a TV show after all) otherwise the final would have been a win for razer straight away which would have been as exciting as Bigger Brother v Razer in series 5 with Bigger Brother having mass damage.
