GoldenFox93 · « **Reply #3 on:** July 04, 2013, 11:11:33 AM »

Eruption, Thor, and Behemoth are my three picks, but I'm hoping Behemoth will be able to win it in particular. :P

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #4 on:** July 04, 2013, 01:28:28 PM »

Thor, Manta & Behemoth for me.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #5 on:** July 04, 2013, 01:39:54 PM »

So what does Team Shock's Manta look like anyway?

Impossible343 · « **Reply #6 on:** July 04, 2013, 01:44:32 PM »

Wait a minute... Iron Awe 7?! If its gonna be anything like IA6 or IA5 then

Badnik96 · « **Reply #7 on:** July 04, 2013, 02:56:26 PM »

Nice.

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #8 on:** July 04, 2013, 02:59:42 PM »

Waaaait...

Does Steel Avenger have a new name or why it's not listed in the poll?

Camaro Kid · « **Reply #9 on:** July 05, 2013, 12:13:49 AM »

Quick question, how is Manta seeded yet Its only competed at an event once (to my knowledge anyway)?

Eruption
Thor
Titan
Manta
TR2
Iron Awe 7

Because it's the replacement for Maelstrom which would have been seeded.

Ahk, so its the teams new bot. Gotcha

My pick is Beast, Even though I made troll picks.

Also, 2 other questions (Kinda off topic)

1. Do you do that 30 Second to a Minute little intro every fight?

2. Since this is technically now officially Robot Wars, and this is officially Series 8, Will we have to update the RW Wiki?

They probably should.

1. No, that's just to open the show, and the second-half after the interval.
2. I think they should, but they're refusing as it's not "robot wars the TV show".

And making troll picks kinda ruins the poll :/

I'd be very surprised if IA7 won. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it'll soon be winning events, but with this being it's first one there's bound to be teething issues.

I agree with both responses.

I haven't actually seen IA7 yet but does it look like IA6 or IA5 and does it have a powerful flip?

If it's the one I think it is, then it is very slender ( the thinnest robot in there, I think ) and has a VERY powerful flipper.

IA7 has not yet been revealed so I cannot say anything for certain, but I would presume it is a similar shape to IA5 and IA6 and I'd be very surprised if the flipper wasn't even more powerful than the last!

helloface199, you can't possibly have seen it. I can't even think of any heavyweights that are particularly slender this side of the world. So stop talking nonsense :P

I thought I saw a really thin black robot in a robot wars 8 promo. :/
