[mrmegamix100]

Clarkson

[tacrosslink70]

diotor 2:53

[tacrosslink70]

simpsons robot wars fresh prince of bel air wow how the years have gone by...

[RustingVagina]

Jesus christ he was slow hahaha, he would of been so bad in the later seasons hahahha.

[RonaldoFearsEboue]

Series 1 had some really crappy robots but i love the cheeseyness

[spongebot64]

@RonaldoFearsEboue And Series 7 had some unbelievable robots.

[protestifications]

did nemesis later become diotor?

[TheLegacyofHitchcock]

@protestifications Yeah, the team fought with Nemesis again in series 2, but then made Diotoir and fought with it from series 3 onwards.

[protestifications]

@TheLegacyofHitchcock thanks, iv'e been wanting to know that for ages.

[BigGayBear2007]

Wait......Jezza?

[SinnFein4ever]

PBS briefly carried this in the U.S.

[BohemianArcade]

hehe shunt looks so rubbish 

[fastlambovette]

wow i use to watch this show years ago... never really thought of clarkson doing this show. came a fan of top gear much later then this

[spongebot64]

When one of the fire fighters came out, he tripped on the arena wall! But it was not shown in this video.

[TheTradge]

it's amazing how much battling robots have advanced since this competition isn't it?

You would never see a robot like road block making it anywhere near to the final, or even the semi final in competitions these days!

[haylsx]

@cooroxd123 shunt's axe was diamond edged so it could cut through practically anything

[sXeLodge]

Diotor used to make me roar. . . .give or take every appearance it made, Sgt. Bash would set it on fire and that would be game over right there lol

[magmaninja]

i remember craig charles doing it. I even met him once.

[Madmonkeythegreat]

i always loved the one with the flame thrower lol

[barrybas]

I just wish Brian Potter was interviewing the wet behind the ear lad at 9:10 after he said "it was the best time of my life".

It was just crying out for someone to shout out, "just wait til you kiss a girl!"

[cooroxd123]

Why shunt axe so shitty?

[bdcollecter]

:p all of the robots have useless weapons here. Shunt probably couldnt even penetrate wood with that axe :S

[LuminoFirewarrior]

90's nostalgia anyone?

Also, I forgot Clarkson was in this... lol.

[tibbyltd]

Yeah. I remember the show first time round, I forgot there was so many events. In the more recent episodes I'm sure they just have war after war.

I also forgot about Clarkson.

[abSURDub]

ha clarkson! loved this show

[TJolteon]

I think back then when a robot enters a House robots zone, then all house robots can go in and rip them apart.

[Wheeloffortunefan999]

wait, they won that 1 battle against shunt because shunt went off first correct?

[Hellothasauras]

I remember watching robot wars after simpsons on a Friday, it was the best. Made my weekend all the better!

[porkpies123]

is it just me or is that harold shipman sat in the crowd at 4.42

[coruscantplanet]

Roadblock was my favourite robot by far.

[ilovecheeseguys]

clarkson isn't grey!!! shock1

[simon809]

forgot it was Clarkson presenting it back then

[sharperguy]

nostalgia win

[dbzmad342]

was roadblock in series 2?

[machewbaccas]

I think so. but then they went to beast of bodmin.

[oOXxDAVIDxXOo]

robot wars was best when it was like this

[wwefan12431]

was that jermery clarkson?

[kaimelis]

oh yes

[gokingsgoful]

Complete with 80s perm... in, what, 1997?

[wwefan12431]

lol :)

[strykah92]

@wwefan12431 Nope, it was Jeremy uh.. Beadle.

[Jb33124]

@wwefan12431 yes it is

[spongebot64]

@wwefan12431 Yes.

[spongebot64]

@wwefan12431 Yes.

[kanenkitten]

Roadblock; the first robot to flip a house robot

[MultiBattleaxe]

Are you kidding? It was Recyclopse, not Roadblock

[kanenkitten]

Roadblock's heat was before recyclops'

[MultiBattleaxe]

When did Roadblock flip a house robot?

[kanenkitten]

Technecaly in the trial taking shunt out

[MultiBattleaxe]

That was a push, not a flip, and Roadblock doesn't flip, it tips over

[woody2goodyleeds]

Robot the Bruce was the first incarnation of what became Chaos.

[wwefan12431]

and then chaos 2

[Fireworkatheart]

That grand-final really wasn't fair on Cunning Plan to be honest. It's a lot weaker and lighter than everyone else.

[JD7795]

Ahh... i remember this on VHS....

[jevimetal13]

The defects of Roadblock: it doesn't have a flipper, and it's way slow

[woody2goodyleeds]

But when the saw worked it was pretty good.

I'd have made a new version where the whole front bit was a giant flipper.

[kanenkitten]

it would have worked if they had the patiance because they raised the limit in Series 5 (I think) so they could have done it

[dim432]

then they return with a new robot beast of bodmin

[thereturnofda111]

Jonathan pierce is amazing but how awkward was jeremy clarkson?

[Fireworkatheart]

He doesn't look like he's enjoying it all that much does he. Not half as much as Top Gear anyway.

[wwefan12431]

yeah coz tg's funnier

[woody2goodyleeds]

A bit awkward yeah.

[DesWombat32]

It's so funny watching Roadblock's first Gauntlet run.

There was NOTHING to comment on.

"So...Bit of trouble getting past that turn-table there?"

[everyonedoesit2]

omg it actually WAS Jeremy Clarkson, i always told people he used to do it but i always got shot down. This takes me back!!

[hamishpig]

nemisis is diotior is it not

lol

woop woop

[kanenkitten]

it is

[TheSporkstar]

haha Road Block Could do with the ram as a flipper wouldhave been alot more effective, anyone its nice to see a younger clarkson =P

[supermonkey16]

Their next robot, Beast of Bodmin had a simerlar design, except they did have a flipper. It only competed in series 3 where they made it to the semis.

[THEBOB566974]

i like jeremy and all but haha he just dose not do the same job a crage charls

[xspencer16x]

roadblocks shell is still living! in a garage in bodmin!

[nintendo0nerd]

wow i loved that "show" it was so niice ;D

[fishmanjo]

omg jeremy clarkson presented this?!

[GunnerRecall33]

Lol, exactly what I said.

[SuperfineDave]

killertron! thats it, the asian kid was in his tutor group...

[SuperfineDave]

my brothers mate at school made the pink robot with the pick axe in the middle in series one...i never spoke to him just saw him, but he was mr popular at school afterwards..back in the day!

[weaponsfreak101]

why did they stop the shows

???

[gigawbo]

Craig said it was getting to dangerous.

[runescapeman990]

craig charles was always the best host....

But it couldn't be a video containg any form of Diotor without a fire

[Trek001]

every robot that battled it, got a patch of its fur

[graw177]

cool man

[MCK90s]

Jeremy did NOT want to be there. lol

[robotwarsroks13]

i can't beleive they stopped airing this! it was the best show on T.v. btw, are they the only 5 robots in the 1st wars, and is Nemesis Diotor?

[DavieJMcD]

Wouldnt be robot wars without a nemesis fire

[Keurgui1]

nemesis rox

[albino809]

Nemesis, roadblock & Sgt Bash were the best on this show

[xtremetoastymadness]

Eh, Bash was kinda weak, but Dead Metal was the best house robot. And I'm glad that Rex Garrod was such a good sport about it all, he was my favorite roboteer, especially when he had Cassius.

[JammyONE]

OMG robot wars i love this when i come back form school on a friday

[albino809]

where do u live i wanna see it again

[DuellyO]

*see's nemises* go on fire, go on fire, go on fire, cmon sgt bash smoke the furbie!!

[Archadios]

I met the team, nice to have something local win :D

[CrashSupreme]

DUUUUUDE!. Lucky

[xspencer16x]

oo yeah im proud to say that this is my family, uncle and cousin.. carrying on the sign stealing tradition :)

[RObOtWarS4Eva]

O YEAH SURE!?!?!?

[xspencer16x]

why would i lie? last time i saw that trophie was on chris's wardrobe and roadblock sits in the garage gatherin dust

[manicstreetsaint]

WTF?

When I was in year seven i asked mr northridge what happened to road block and he said it got dismantled!!

[mateyboy07]

ROAD BLOCK: Straight the fuck in, straight the fuck out.

[Veron541]

Dude, ROADBLOCK!

[FirestormChao94]

sweet,a video about roadblock,roadblock is one of my favorite RW bots.

[kottonmouthUK]

Ahh yes, a classic piece of history. The original champion from the first series. Roadblock. Brilliant, and well done. Legendary!

[Simoneister]

YES! A video of Robot Wars Series 1! I've always wanted to see Series 1.

[Headbanger14]

It's weird how Roadblock was the first robot to compete in British Robot Wars and yet it won!

[g4mz0rb0y]

W00T!!! Roadblock forever!

[Riazor7]

Thanks very much!! I'm looking for all videos about Robot Wars!! This is a historical video!
