Chaos 2 is still with its owners and Pussycat is owned by Mr. Stu

Ah, OK. The last I'd heard of Chaos 2, it was under overhaul to fix the damage done to it in Extreme 2, as part of its retirement. Have you seen or heard from it since then? I'm guessing that that is what was implied by what you'd mentioned about it.

Yes...but I think it's a fairly safe bet. After all, it'd be sad to see such an influential robot and RW champion in the state it was after that horrible punishment it took from Razer, 13 Black and Mr Psycho.

Yes- even today, I could see it beating some of the RR Machines today.

Indeed- I could imagine it being laid out somewhat like the National Railway Museum, with programs to renovate the older and more famous robots to working condition. You never know- Fix our Firestorm? Help our HypnoDisc? Repair our Razer?  :P

I can see it in a hangar and there would be a huge pretty dark room (not a dark room) with some spotlights and 6 podiums with Roadblock, Panick Attack, Chaos 2, Razer, Tornado and (it has to be :/) Typhoon 2

Somewhat like that- a bit like the Great Hall in the NRM, really. And perhaps other things, like say, the House Robots, props and things from the original TV series, and a purpose-built arena or something might be cool. For full-combat events in the UK, perhaps.

Yeah, I've seen those. Ming Dienasty and Zorro were built from those chassis  :3

Yes...and it also serves one of the great messages RW had- it made engineering cool for the general public. By reigniting that interest with that and remembrance of all the old greats, Robot Combat could take on a new age in the UK  <3

Indeed- and with that, it could also help along with a revival for British Engineering. Just like old times  :3

Sparkarse, shut up. That's not contributing anything.
