They were ICONIC in the original robot wars.Sure, they've got Matilda, but what about Psycho and Sir Killalot? Imagine them taking on the modern day flippers!Besides, I'm pretty sure their return would attract a larger audience.

Word around is that they've tracked the original house bots to a collector in Las Vegas, I believe. They'd be too valuable to use in their old states against the new bots anyway, so I imagine they'd basically have to be duplicated - not cheap! That's what it all comes down to, money.

Oh I'll be doing some banging.......
Haha it's all good, there's at least 2 of us coming up (plazmic inferno/Tweedy is actually staying at my home in Wilts the night before, super long travel for him from Kent), potentially 3 if my 'teammate'/'stepdad' comes, so I'll be driving :')
