Hello Starcore-chan.

Happy to see Setrakian involved, but sad to see Battlebots devolved to "evil Roombas" and thinking that people don't still want it back.

Mark Setrakian being involved is the only good thing about the show imo.

Setrakian is a weird looking dude.

I miss the days when people like Setrakian would build an 800-pound robotic spider and snake just for the

of it, even knowing full well that it's probably going to be smashed up by more pedestrian designs

Something in the 90's prompted people to invest that sort of time and money into such crazy projects with no hope of monetary return. I don' know what it was, but I wish we could get it back.

Well is it safe to say Robogeedon's probably dead?

*sigh* well, the sooner it starts, the sooner it can bomb in the ratings and not live to see Spring Break.

Indeed.

Why can't they at least show BB reruns or something??

To be honest, I sorta like it. Sure it isn't Robot Wars or Battlebots. But also were judging a book by its cover. I think it may have potential. Like I said, I'm not judging until episode 1.

looks like real steel leaked into the real world...

Steampunk looks a lot like one of those toy robots made of wood I would buy as a kid. If the show is legit and gets off the ground, I shall cheer for Game Over.

Liking Steel Cyclone.

drone strike seems really OP

Brimstone is the one I'm backing, seems like the most practical of the bunch.
