Warhead is an awesome robot. Truly one of the best. But I have to admit, I'm happy to see him get his ass kicked by a well made American bot. At least once.
did that bimbo ever loose her job? i mean if she had done her research its clear they can drive the bot but damn its a hard bot to drive think about the overall design the power that disc has was scary i mean look at the fight with the matador and nightmare it was over be for it began they manuver the bot with care and precision over kill just seemed to try and play it safe till it noticed the disk stoped thin it showed off...
warhead started out a good bot, but he got a permanent red mark in my book for destroying nightmare. the pounding on the glass didn't raise my opinion. Overkill, thank you for teaching those readcoats a lesson. Go USA!
Ugh, what was this 10 years ago?! I would say 99% of those robots would be outclassed bye todays standards. No warhead,hypnodisk,nightmare,son of wyachi ect ect would hold up to todays robots. Robotwars and Battlebots was kinda the feeling out period for designers to see what works and what doesnt. I would say most robots (in america) have some type of 4wd with a mounted weapon. I love a FBS but, with the smaller size arenas nowadays you dont have much room to manuver.
But really, it's what Carmen Electra said afterwards that made me go from sad at Warhead's loss to fuming at the arrogance of the presenters. Bad drivers? Seriously?
@RobotwarsKing agreed. I'm still angry about that. It was one of the most brilliant designs with one of the best drivers at the helm. They put a lot of expense into traveling for this competition... they deserved better.
@RobotwarsKing It's because the disc is so powerful, it pushes air down really fast and makes it difficult to control. Still not the driver's fault though.
@RobotwarsKing: Errrrm, maybe Anti-British sentiment? After all, they did once call Killerhurtz a coward for using the killsaws where they've called it good tactics if an American robot did it.
@acephantom903 Its not very effective to be honest but it can throw bots off course, and to little damage, its more of the wedge and drving of overkill that makes it a great bot!
razer would be shit in america the robots are so much bigger i think but some of our best flipers would have so much fun like gravity chaos firestorm and behemoth behemoth may struggle tho it wouldnt be able to go straight under, but i think we'd lose against biohazard thats an awesome robot
@tclol Razer did go over to America and competed twice in the early Long Beach series. It's beaten Voltarc, Kill-o-amp and some others I can't remember, and won a rumble. But it's also lost to Tazbot, Rhino and Voltarc gained vengeance on it. Bear in mind that was when the UK weight limit was 80 kilos and Razer was unreliable, so the 100 kg Razer with better reliability may have done well.
I'll definitely admit Warhead is a marvelous design and is very very powerful. Fact is though, he just ran into the wrong bot in Overkill. Overkill is durable and can push opponents around pretty easily, and its wedge just slips right under Warhead's spinning disk.
Warhead could beat 90% of the Battlebots heavyweights, but it couldn't beat the elite ones. Especially Biohazard. Biohazard withstood Son of Wyatchi, and SoW was the deadliest bot ever in competition here
in the Robot Wars arena, there is no way the Battlebots compettitors could beat our (the English) robots, without the "killsaws" to help them, they are lambs to the slaughter.
@IndianaJoel93 Robot wars? you mean the one with the giant killer house robots? The floor flipper, the disc of doom, flame pits, angle grinders? that robot wars?
@dogyasha the floor flipper was only used on already imobilised robots, and the flame pits didnt harm any robot, apart from Diotior, the angle grinders also didnt do much damage, and all the disc of doom did was throw a robot of course, and the house robots were restricted to when they could attack, and they didnt sneak up from beneath the floor
@seanMmaguire1 Robots from both shows are under contract. Razer is only allowed to fight for the BBC. Same reason why there is spitfire ( dantomkia ) and little sister ( bigger brother) in battle bots. A real shame I would have loved to see tazbot en overkill in robot wars and firestorm and hypnodisc in battle bots.
I dunno if I like the way the Razer Team have basically down a Hypnodisc rip off, Hypnodisc was a great robot because it truly ripped it's opposition to pieces but it had a few design flaws... Warhead to me just seems like another clone, I can't recall anything before Hypnodisc using a HUGE flywheel and I don't think I have seen any following Flywheel weapon machines ever do as much damage either... also Hypnodisc had a lot of torque, very stable and very quick... the clones just aren't...
Yeah, hate to jump on this bandwagon too but everyone has mentioned it; Razer would own overkill, it is one of the best heavyweights and holds the world title amoungst many others but yeah NOTHING is unbeatable. The other heavyweight gods are biohazard, gravity and chaos 2.
@RocketNothing There is no way Razer would beat Overkill. The only thing Razor could clamp on is Overkills wedge cause we all know overkills wheels are far to large. If they were nose to nose, with overkills wedge in razors grip, overkills power would still shove razor whereever it wanted.
@eishiba We all know know overkills wheels are too big to fit inside razers crushing arm? Lol oh yes that's like a common fact of robot wars! Jesus where the hell do you guys get this stuff from? Battlebots top trumps?....
@eishiba WTF? You high or something buddy? They are both heavyweights so therefore overkills wheels are too big for for razers crusher?? Yeah you've totally lost me on that one! Cheers though, you've made me chuckle today
@eishiba AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! are you kidding? Razer's jaw can open up to about 2 feet, plus that knife on overkill wouldnt hurt Razer, it is too strongly built, and Razer is very powerful and could easily shove overkill
@demonchacer what racks up more points? Razer putting in huge holes in Overkills armour, maybe even popping the tyres, and even bending the knife, or Overkill mindlessly hitting Razer with no damage inflicted?
@MrBlack1968 lots of battlebots robots tore other apart. son of wyachi, nightmare and backlash to name a few, but even if u have a weapon that does alot of damage but u arent good at controlling the bot u then u lose. robots like biohazard, toro, overkill, vlad, razor, gemini, firestorm 2 hypnodisk all had great drivers which made them rlly good. weapons dont make a robot good. drivers do.
@demonchacer i loved both shows. cuz well who doesnt want to see robots destroy each other in an arena? and when one show wasnt on the other one was and sometimes both would be on after each other so u could watch it all day long. :D
@demonchacer In Robot Wars, the Robots were designed to immobilise their opponent as quickly as possible, or do as much damage as possible, or both. When Robots enter a competition about fighting other robots, and their main weapon isn't to do damage or immobilise the opponent, it's to score points, you know you're doing something wrong.
It's like comparing amateur boxing to professional boxing.
@MrBlack1968 You're a dumb fuck if you think Batttlebots had terrible bots. Most of Robot Wars bots suck, only a few where good like Tornado, Razor, Hypnodisc, Chaos, and Storm 2. Thats pretty much it. Battlebots have bots like Biohazard, Son of Whyachi, Vlad, Toro, Minion, Overkill, Ziggo, Backlash, Hazard, Etc. Not to say RobotWars was bad or anything, just most of the bots competing in it completely sucked! I agree with Demonchancer
@IndianaJoel93 Biohazard, Vlad the Impailer, Son of Whyachi, Overkill, Punjar, MOE, Mechavore, Tazbot, Surgen Genreal, Nightmare, Slamjob, Hexadecimator, Phrizzebee, The Matador, Stealth Terminator, Blendo, Voltronic, etc. Whats your point....
@MrBlack1968 not all the robots in robot wars immobilized or did alot of damage. alot were flipper bots or poorly built spinners and wat not and some just failed all together. but thats wat made it fun to watch. and the drivers learned from it and came back in both shows had all those kinds of robots.
@eishiba I dont think you realise how powerful Razer's drive actually is, and how small do you think Razer is? because if Overkill's wheels are too big for Razer, then that means Razer is only featherwieght size, Simon Scott says that Razer's jaw/crusher can open up to more than 2 feet, so Overkill's wheels are bigger than the wheels of the average family car? I highly doubt that.
@IndianaJoel93 In a match against Overkill, Razer wouldn't be able to grab hold of Overkill's wheel anyway, because Razer's claw is too slow to catch the wheel of a near-uncontrollably fast robot like Overkill. However, it would still be a very close fight.
@sudadedah it depends on the angle Razer got in at, and if Razer can grab hold on Firestorm, which is just as fast as Overkill, then it would be no problem, besides, Razer could still get at the body
The razer team are excellent designers, their robots razer and warhead actually look like robots, menacing and with distinctive anatomy, rather than a box with spikes on wheels.
@DarkJak2050 If I recall right, that hit that he took from Nightmare dented his weapon in the last fight. That's the worse thing to happen to a spinning weapon, it causes an imbalance to happen. Search for Mauler 5150 vs Bigger Brother to get a good picture of what can happen when you continue to go at full speed with that sort of thing going on.
That's also why Warhead was bouncing around much for than usual.
cuz razor doesnt have a very fast weapon most of the battlebot drivers are very fast so the faster ones would end up dancing around it and inflicting lots of damage
but once razer captures its prey, the enemy is done for. but maybe the beak is actual fast they just did it slow for the suspense. im just saing maybe but razer was still very good
dude with something tht sharp they could just blow through it and noing battlebots they could find a way around it some faster bot will maybe ride up him and zoom him into the pulveriser or get underhim and flip him then take him to the pulveriser so either way thrs a way
that is true but what about the other bots in robotwars, look how fast they were. not to mention razer vs chaos 2 which can go to 20 mph with a powerful flipper got taken out by razer.
ok yea but chaos didnt have tht low of a flipper and if he caught a powerful spinner in the wrong place it would make him uneven and thr blade might hit him and like nightmare is very tall and he would just go right over him so everyone has their kryptonite i will admit to it when he actually gets on battle bots and wins a couple giant nuts then i will believe but until then no
I don't remember which season, but I definitely remember it being in a televised episode of battlebots, but I haven't been able to find it, yet. I don't think it fared so well, though.
Though that might have been because I think it was the earlier version of without the "wings" on the side.
Though it'd still have a problem with that wheel assembly I could imagine...
if you look on the Team mutants website aka. Tazbot & Disector, the show pictures of Razer winning the 1999 Rumble by decision. this means Razer has won something in battlebots
@RobotsGreatWar Yea, I saw that after some hunting. That's a pretty impressive feat, especially considering the reliability issue that plagues Razer at times.
I never said anything about Razor not winning anything at Battlebots, just that his fight that got aired on Comedy Central didn't go so well...
Umm, I hate to bring this up but... Razer didn't win the 1999 Rumble, it was Biohazard. The Rumble is actually here on YouTube, it's titled "Heavyweight Rumble with Slugger: BattleBots Pay-Per-View. 11/1999 ".
@Noonrider11 I think it's because there's too many weapons that could disable Razor's self-righting device, plus the killsaws which did the job to Razor's self-righting wings atleast once.
Razor's not a bad bot at all, but maybe it just isn't built for battlebots.
Overkill is a really well designed bot ... while not very spectacular, this one has good chances taking out a majority of other top notch robots combining good controls and speed, not too many attacking points, being virtually impossible to flip over and decent attacks.
than warhead? ...yeah, I guess it was; they got the maneuvering on that thing just about perfect. warhead NEEDS to be faster and could do with an alternative to those wings; they're useful but they screw up allot of it's offensive opportunities.
All of his bots put on spectacular performances in all of the seasons of Battlebots. Toecrusher, Overkill, Minion, and Dreadnout were all very powerful and very effective bots.
Well, since Battlebots had there recent tournament last April (set to air on CBS College Sports come December), I hope coolrobots has not disbanded or retired.
Ugh. I'm really growing tired of the constant barrage by the Razer fanatics. Now, I have enormous respect for Ian Lewis and his crew. They build a damn fine robot. But Razer isn't unbeatable, and certainly not indestructable. Why don't we leave the fighting and schoolyard talk out of this and just watch the fight on the screen?
Carmen could've done a little bit of research into the team's previous achievements (Including Razer winning the first ever BB Heavyweight Rumble) and been a bit nicer.
BUT NO.
All she could do was automatically think "It's British, thereby it sucks".
I personally don't like Overkill. His weapon does absolutly nothing. Maybe warhead could have clinched this with a little more control, cause that is what casued overkill to win.
@Mustang5Speed Overkill's weapon did keep Warhead at bay, I was expecting it to come off, but if you saw the hit Warhead gave Overkill's blade, Warhead bounced off.
Americans do get a bit stubborn when it comes to puppet robot fighting, they think english robots are crap or pussy, well, don't downrate my comment or anything but english robots are better, throw some of them in and it would be great, Hypno-disc is very destructive and they think its rubbish because they compare it to son of whyachi, well, its good because it doesn't end up destructing themselves, same with our other robots but some like overkill, biohazard, drillzilla = fab
most of us like allot of the English bots (great flippers and great drivers with the occasional refreshing oddball) the problem is that most of our opinions are based off of robot wars which is basically the pro-wrestling of robot competitions, the majority of our population that isn't already watching pro wrestling or some such prefer a contest over a show so all the theatrics in wars feel like an insult.
I wonder how long till I'm spammed out for my dis on the commoner's opera house, aka WWF.
@eljaco88 Hypno Disc lost to what everyone's constantly calling the "Shit Box on Wheels" In series 6, Hypno Disc's disc just wasn't as destructive as it used to be back when it first came around. You're right Son of Whyachi had a TERRIBLE self destruct, but there was a match, infact it was the Loser's Melee in series 6, Hypno Disc's disc hit the wall and was dead right there. I'm not trying to make Hypno Disc look bad but American and British bots have flaws, none are unbeatable gods,
Overkill still probably wopuld have won that, no real way for razer to get a grip unless overkill gets stupid and if nothing else overkill is one of the best driven bots i've EVER seen (up there with biohazard)
on the other hand Its weapon is useless for annything but scoring empty points...I don't think overkill ever managed to knock out it's opponent unless they had a loose wire or some such.
from what I see of Overkill, it doesn't really have any really damaging weapons and the ramp wouldn't do much because Razer would self right and Razer could get an easy grip because of the shape of Overkill and be able to crush down and disable it
I'm not saying Razer couldn't get a grip, I'm saying it wouldn't be likely for him to get a chance. Whoever the pilot of team razer is they are very good; but not good enough to catch up to a significantly faster and more maneuverable bot that is also excellently handled, there wouldn't be a scratch on it deeper then it's polish but razer would probably loose the fight.
yeah if razors beak opens that wide. he would have to catch overkill first and overkill is really fast and in a pushing match razor's strength is in its weapon, not its power. razor hasn't proven to be a very powerful robot when it comes to pushing and shoving. tornado and many other robots have easily shoved razor around.
from what I see of overkill, its hight is easily within Razers crushing hight and If Razer gets a hold of one of those wheels overkil would be a sitting duck. Bear in mind Razer is very nippy and very manouverable for is weight
razor would have to go for a wheel cause if he went for the center, overkill might get crushed but would still have mobility, like i said, overkill's power would be razor's biggest problem. its so fun to argue lol.
It's sooo wierd that Overkill has never been brutally damaged. Even the best spinners don't do too much damage to his actually body (his blade has been cut through though). I think Razer could do it, but it's all in the matter of getting a hold of Overkill first. My thought is that if Razer goes for the wheels, It's over for Overkill, but if Razer grabs his body, Overkill could get him to the pulverizer or another hazard and cause damage to the sort of unreliable Razer.
yeah, i don't know many bots that razor faced who were both faster and more powerful then he was.overkill would have both advantages cause overkill is made for that. razor is mainly just to get hold of him, not a pushing match.
we've been over this: Razer has a verry good driver but Overkill has the best driver
in all the plausible ways Razer can attack the only one where he is not going to end up getting even more then the considerable bit he gives is if he grabs a wheel.
Razer probably would win if he managed to grab a wheel but frankly; that 'ent likely. Razer Will loose if he can't do that.
This was recorded with a potato.

Thats pretty much it. Battlebots have bots like Biohazard, Son of Whyachi, Vlad, Toro, Minion, Overkill, Ziggo, Backlash, Hazard, Etc. Not to say RobotWars was bad or anything, just most of the bots competing in it completely sucked! I agree with Demonchancer

@MrBlack1968 not all the robots in robot wars immobilized or did alot of damage. alot were flipper bots or poorly built spinners and wat not and some just failed all together. but thats wat made it fun to watch. and the drivers learned from it and came back in both shows had all those kinds of robots.

@eishiba I dont think you realise how powerful Razer's drive actually is, and how small do you think Razer is? because if Overkill's wheels are too big for Razer, then that means Razer is only featherwieght size, Simon Scott says that Razer's jaw/crusher can open up to more than 2 feet, so Overkill's wheels are bigger than the wheels of the average family car? I highly doubt that.
IndianaJoel93 1 year ago
@IndianaJoel93 In a match against Overkill, Razer wouldn't be able to grab hold of Overkill's wheel anyway, because Razer's claw is too slow to catch the wheel of a near-uncontrollably fast robot like Overkill. However, it would still be a very close fight.
sudadedah 1 year ago
@sudadedah it depends on the angle Razer got in at, and if Razer can grab hold on Firestorm, which is just as fast as Overkill, then it would be no problem, besides, Razer could still get at the body

The razer team are excellent designers, their robots razer and warhead actually look like robots, menacing and with distinctive anatomy, rather than a box with spikes on wheels.

What the heck happened to Warhead's weapon?
DarkJak2050 2 years ago
@DarkJak2050 If I recall right, that hit that he took from Nightmare dented his weapon in the last fight. That's the worse thing to happen to a spinning weapon, it causes an imbalance to happen. Search for Mauler 5150 vs Bigger Brother to get a good picture of what can happen when you continue to go at full speed with that sort of thing going on.
That's also why Warhead was bouncing around much for than usual.

cuz razor doesnt have a very fast weapon most of the battlebot drivers are very fast so the faster ones would end up dancing around it and inflicting lots of damage

but once razer captures its prey, the enemy is done for. but maybe the beak is actual fast they just did it slow for the suspense. im just saing maybe but razer was still very good
Noonrider11 2 years ago
dude with something tht sharp they could just blow through it and noing battlebots they could find a way around it some faster bot will maybe ride up him and zoom him into the pulveriser or get underhim and flip him then take him to the pulveriser so either way thrs a way
eraq666 2 years ago
that is true but what about the other bots in robotwars, look how fast they were. not to mention razer vs chaos 2 which can go to 20 mph with a powerful flipper got taken out by razer.
Noonrider11 2 years ago
ok yea but chaos didnt have tht low of a flipper and if he caught a powerful spinner in the wrong place it would make him uneven and thr blade might hit him and like nightmare is very tall and he would just go right over him so everyone has their kryptonite i will admit to it when he actually gets on battle bots and wins a couple giant nuts then i will believe but until then no

Razor WAS in Battlebots.
I don't remember which season, but I definitely remember it being in a televised episode of battlebots, but I haven't been able to find it, yet. I don't think it fared so well, though.
Though that might have been because I think it was the earlier version of without the "wings" on the side.
Though it'd still have a problem with that wheel assembly I could imagine...

@Firestorm2900
Umm, I hate to bring this up but... Razer didn't win the 1999 Rumble, it was Biohazard. The Rumble is actually here on YouTube, it's titled "Heavyweight Rumble with Slugger: BattleBots Pay-Per-View. 11/1999 ".
DarkJak2050 1 year ago
@Noonrider11 I think it's because there's too many weapons that could disable Razor's self-righting device, plus the killsaws which did the job to Razor's self-righting wings atleast once.
Razor's not a bad bot at all, but maybe it just isn't built for battlebots.

Overkill is a really well designed bot ... while not very spectacular, this one has good chances taking out a majority of other top notch robots combining good controls and speed, not too many attacking points, being virtually impossible to flip over and decent attacks.

Ugh. I'm really growing tired of the constant barrage by the Razer fanatics. Now, I have enormous respect for Ian Lewis and his crew. They build a damn fine robot. But Razer isn't unbeatable, and certainly not indestructable. Why don't we leave the fighting and schoolyard talk out of this and just watch the fight on the screen?

Can i just say..
Americans do get a bit stubborn when it comes to puppet robot fighting, they think english robots are crap or pussy, well, don't downrate my comment or anything but english robots are better, throw some of them in and it would be great, Hypno-disc is very destructive and they think its rubbish because they compare it to son of whyachi, well, its good because it doesn't end up destructing themselves, same with our other robots but some like overkill, biohazard, drillzilla = fab
eljaco88 3 years ago
most of us like allot of the English bots (great flippers and great drivers with the occasional refreshing oddball) the problem is that most of our opinions are based off of robot wars which is basically the pro-wrestling of robot competitions, the majority of our population that isn't already watching pro wrestling or some such prefer a contest over a show so all the theatrics in wars feel like an insult.

@eljaco88 Hypno Disc lost to what everyone's constantly calling the "Shit Box on Wheels" In series 6, Hypno Disc's disc just wasn't as destructive as it used to be back when it first came around. You're right Son of Whyachi had a TERRIBLE self destruct, but there was a match, infact it was the Loser's Melee in series 6, Hypno Disc's disc hit the wall and was dead right there. I'm not trying to make Hypno Disc look bad but American and British bots have flaws, none are unbeatable gods,

AssaultRiflePlayer 3 years ago
Overkill still probably wopuld have won that, no real way for razer to get a grip unless overkill gets stupid and if nothing else overkill is one of the best driven bots i've EVER seen (up there with biohazard)
on the other hand Its weapon is useless for annything but scoring empty points...I don't think overkill ever managed to knock out it's opponent unless they had a loose wire or some such.
Evernube 3 years ago
from what I see of Overkill, it doesn't really have any really damaging weapons and the ramp wouldn't do much because Razer would self right and Razer could get an easy grip because of the shape of Overkill and be able to crush down and disable it
kanenkitten 3 years ago
I'm not saying Razer couldn't get a grip, I'm saying it wouldn't be likely for him to get a chance. Whoever the pilot of team razer is they are very good; but not good enough to catch up to a significantly faster and more maneuverable bot that is also excellently handled, there wouldn't be a scratch on it deeper then it's polish but razer would probably loose the fight.
Evernube 3 years ago
Razer itself is quite nippy and can manuvure itself into a position to crush down and even if overkill did flip Razer, Razer would always self right
kanenkitten 3 years ago
yeah but razor would have to rely on its weapon to right itself overkill doesn't have to use a weapon, it runs one way or the other
eishiba 3 years ago
yeah, bu Razer could easily get a grip on overkill's wheels or bodywork and could cause some proper damage and easily immobilise it.
kanenkitten 3 years ago
yeah if razors beak opens that wide. he would have to catch overkill first and overkill is really fast and in a pushing match razor's strength is in its weapon, not its power. razor hasn't proven to be a very powerful robot when it comes to pushing and shoving. tornado and many other robots have easily shoved razor around.
eishiba 3 years ago
from what I see of overkill, its hight is easily within Razers crushing hight and If Razer gets a hold of one of those wheels overkil would be a sitting duck. Bear in mind Razer is very nippy and very manouverable for is weight
kanenkitten 3 years ago
razor would have to go for a wheel cause if he went for the center, overkill might get crushed but would still have mobility, like i said, overkill's power would be razor's biggest problem. its so fun to argue lol.
eishiba 3 years ago
It's sooo wierd that Overkill has never been brutally damaged. Even the best spinners don't do too much damage to his actually body (his blade has been cut through though). I think Razer could do it, but it's all in the matter of getting a hold of Overkill first. My thought is that if Razer goes for the wheels, It's over for Overkill, but if Razer grabs his body, Overkill could get him to the pulverizer or another hazard and cause damage to the sort of unreliable Razer.
Mustang5Speed 3 years ago
yeah, i don't know many bots that razor faced who were both faster and more powerful then he was.overkill would have both advantages cause overkill is made for that. razor is mainly just to get hold of him, not a pushing match.
eishiba 3 years ago
I think I stand by with my guess of little to no damage on either bot but Razer loosing by points
Evernube 3 years ago

B21993 2 years ago
that would only happen if it was flipped into the killsaws which due to Ian Lewis's good driving is quite unlikely
kanenkitten 2 years ago
we've been over this: Razer has a verry good driver but Overkill has the best driver
in all the plausible ways Razer can attack the only one where he is not going to end up getting even more then the considerable bit he gives is if he grabs a wheel.
Razer probably would win if he managed to grab a wheel but frankly; that 'ent likely. Razer Will loose if he can't do that.
Evernube 2 years ago
But Razer would be able to, since he can place that beak in very delicate places and since it always seems to find a wak spot
