  • Robot Wars, Battlebots...the early 2000's had some funny trends. I always preferred Robot Wars because it hat Cactus Jack, Dude Love, Mankind, Mick Foley!!! :)

  • Comment removed

  • is that mick foley commentating

  • Mick Foley? Holy shlt 

  • why didnt this come to the uk :( i miss robot wars

  • its mick foley from wwe

  • @ianbury It can't be Mick because we hear him at 5:30 and his voice doesn't match.

  • @BellyLover06 yeah but he used a different vioce for wwe so pple wouldnt recognise him but it obviousyly doesnt work lol !!! the biggest give away is his jacket that got torched by edge lol

  • @BellyLover06 In wwe and tna he act his voice

  • mick foley LoL good memories

  • Who's the guy talking at 0:05 and the guy announcing the robots as they enter?

  • i think its stefan frank.

  • The guy announcing sounds like the person from the Spam commercial I heard a few years back.

    You were bland, I made you tasty! :D

  • @BellyLover06 Its Mick Foley

  • @uyoass Are you sure?

  • its mick foley from wwe 

  • What happened in the other first round tie?

  • most of the full body spinners dont do too good in robot wars revolusionist was good but thats about it

  • titanium on its own is very brittle.. no matter HOW thick it is. might i suggest a alloy incorporating the titanium :) , thats pretty much what you're thinking bout

  • Haha wow, Mick Foley did Robot Wars!

  • if you woul make a robot from pure titanium with diamond tipped weapons, you would always win =)

  • Titanium is very fragile.

  • no it isn't when you make it thicker ass 0.5 cm

  • If you meant the UK show being hosted in America, it was, along with a US-only version of UK Extreme (Headbanger will correct me if I'm wrong). As a result, the US public, sitting in front of the TV, with their Mountain Dew and voting Republican, said "YEAH! GIVE ME SOME OF THAT!", and as a result they managed to get one of their networks to hook up to the BBC and sort something out.

    N.B. I'm not usually this stereotypical =P

  • now i am really confused but dont bother telling me anything else. i might find out one day but not now.

  • Long story short: US audiences enjoyed what they saw when the UK Robot Wars made a US-specific show, and as such, they wanted their own version. The BBC allowed them to use their UK studio and house robots for the filming, and the rest is history.

    Sorry to have confused you initially, was having a mad moment.

  • you would think the us and uk would have differnet house robots wouldn't you?

  • The US show was filmed here in the UK, so it's just more convenient to use our house robots.

  • that explains allot except the fact that they have and american host :-S do you know why they didn't just the uk version in america?

  • because lots of different countrys from europe came to the UK to film their own versions of Robotwars, using the UK stage and houserobots.

  • good but not as good as uk version no offence intended

  • nightstalker got fucked over.

  • hahaha That robot at the end owns. I love him and ref bot.

  • Rosie, Tricerabot, Juggerbot,and Robottica are all part of the same team

  • And Logoseye which is Rosie the Riveter 2 before their makeover.

  • if any did not bet a chance to se extreme warriors of rw they should bring it back give this comment a thumbs up (tu)

  • quilty u bois cme to the best arena in the world to get your ass handed to u by the uk houserobots

  • Is it me, or is the pit release button closer to the bottom-right CPZ than usual?

  • FUN FACT: Rosie the Riveter is driven by the same team who drove Juggerbot from Robotica.

  • rosie riv must be a twin sis

  • And Logoseye, technically. One was repainted Juggerbot, and one was Logoseye.

  • I think the announcer guy (who introduces each robot as they drive into the arena) is better than the British one. I love the way he says "Basenji".

  • I really liked the U.S. version. Each Saturday, I would stay up to watch it. This is the first series of Robot Wars that I had watched.

  • this is the second series btw. There was one before it.

  • the first series i watched was the nick one

  • God Bless You Scrapdaddy!! Thank You for putting the whole series of this US Robot Wars!!

  • I wonder if there are videos of Robot Wars that feature General Chompsalot in them. He was my favorite bot in this series. However, Razer would own all the bots from this series.

  • I have a video of their other robot, Jawbreaker's Revenge that fought in Robotica. It's a good robot, but it was cheap in the Labyrnith run by holding onto its opponent Buzz Bomb the whole time

  • I have the entire heat with him but I didnt upload it yet. Im looking through all my vids. Once i get them in order I will start to upload them.

  • Wow if this meant to be extreme, I'd hate to see an unextreme one.

  • extreme was just a fancy add on title for a load of random fights with championships that had nothing to do with each other. The unextreme was actually better, it was just one tournament.

  • Foley!! >:D

    lol..

  • back when Mick Foley was the host. those were the best days. too bad Mick went back to WWE tho lol. after Mick left RW went down and now you cant find it on anymore...

  • stuped amaracons copeying everyithing

  • at least some americans can spell...

  • A american was the one who came up with robot fighting,made the first combat robot and came up with robot wars dumbass.

  • Yes, we know you're a dumbass. Next time, don't call people names.

  • Was I talking to you? No so shut the fuck up. I'm not going to let some retard say that America copied robot wars when an American came up with it. Next time think before you post.

  • Again, we KNOW you're a retard, so stop admitting to being one. And stop with the immature language.

    The Americans created robotic combat. They created Battlebots and Robotica. They even created a "Robot Wars" contest. But they did NOT create THE Robot Wars as we know it. So, America DID copy us, you're wrong, and you've just admitted to being a dumbass retard.

  • You don't know shit then. In 1994, Marc Thorpe created Robot Wars and held the first competition at the Fort Mason Center in San Francisco.Between 1995 and 1997, three further Robot Wars events took place in America and, in 1995, Profile Records partnered with production company Mentorn to produce and televise a Robot Wars event in the UK. Mentorn acquired the worldwide television rights from Profile in 1995.

  • Wow. Pretty impressive stuff. I'm surprised you, as a self-admitted retard, knew about that. But here's some advice...tell me something I DON'T know. Because I knew all of that blah-de-blah. Obviously.

  • Part 2 of shit you dont know.

    Tom Gutteridge and Steve Carsey created the television format from the original Robot Wars concept. Profile sought no input or consent from Thorpe before doing this, and this aggravated the already troubled relationship between Thorpe and Profile Records and indirectly spurred legal disagreements surrounding the ownership of the Robot Wars concept. The UK stole Robot Wars from Marc so learn to do research before you post about shit you know nothing about.

  • Oh, so you've resorted to telling lies about me, have you? Considering you've admitted to being a bitch, retard AND dumbass, it's hardly surprising.

    Does the Robot Wars we know and love have ANY similarities to the original Robot Wars? Nope. Thereby, you fail, especially as you've proven you can't read.

  • Lets name the similarities. The house bots,the rules,the arena,the fact that you use robots to battle. The only thing that not the same is the people who run it(well did run it)

  • There were no House Robots in the early tournaments, the arena was completely different, and so were the rules. The using robots to battle part is different as well. The two are significantly different from each other. I've proven you wrong and you've proven yourself incapable of reading, because, as I said SEVERAL times, I already knew about this sorta stuff. Now please stop arguing.

  • Your realy are a dumbass. The first wars had the house bots in them. Look it up dumbass. I just proved your ass wrong agian. How many times am I going to have to prove you don't know shit about the show? You was proved wrong so get over it. Now why don't you go work on getting some friends.

  • Once again, YES, we KNOW you're a dumbass. For heaven's sakes, stop admitting it constantly all the time. People are fed up of you calling yourself a dumbass. In fact, you've called yourself one TWICE in that one sentence!

    And I can understand why you'd call yourself a dumbass, because you know nothing about Robot Wars. Heck, you don't even know basic grammar (You was proved wrong? Agian?). And I see, again, you've sunk to lie-telling (I have lots of friends. Why don't you get some yourself?)

  • Your a dumbass? Everyone knew that so you didn't have to tell us. You don't have shit for friends. I bet you had to change you account because you got reported to many times.

  • Again, I see we've resorted to telling more lies and still refusing to use basic grammar. For a start, I've NEVER been reported. Secondly, I never called you a dumbass, only you did. Thirdly, I have a lot of friends, and they'll be very annoyed to hear you dissed them, because they're ALL much bigger Robot Wars fans than you'll ever be. Finally...SHUT UP!! You're just making a fool out of yourself and giving Americans a bad name. You're the one who's wrong, just accept it.

  • Your the one to talk. A three year old has better grammar and spelling than you. Your just mad because the two UK fucks who stole robot wars couldn't compete with BATTLEBOTS.

  • Again, more blatant lies. What IS a "The one to talk"? What is a "Just mad because...etc, etc"? And WHY do you KEEP accusing me of owning them. Clearly, you're the one who needs to learn their grammar, not me. As I said before, Robot Wars as we know it was NOT stolen.

    Once again, I'm going to ask you nicely...step away from the computer screen, take a deep breathe, count to ten, then come back. Once you've composed yourself, THEN we'll talk. But only if you're calm and mature.

  • Yes robot wars was stolen so get over it. It's not my falt that the UK can't come up with their own shit. The UK show couldn't compete with the american show. You can't even quote people right.

  • As I said before, the early Robot Wars and the UK Robot Wars were two very different sports. The fact is that the first UK series still referenced these early series.

    And, don't get me wrong here. Battlebots is great. But I really prefer a sport decided by the robots, and NOT by the hazards.

  • In battlebots it is decided by the judges, unless you tap or your knocked out.

  • You're not understanding...yes, I like Battlebots, but I DON'T like it when the hazards do the robots in, which seems to happen quite frequently.

    And, again, You're. Not your.

  • I understand what your saying. Thats the whole point of hazards is to push the other bot into them. Battlebots didn't use house bots so they needed the hazards and it work since they are coming back on the air in america.

  • That may be the case, but I just find it kinda annoying if one robot is dominating the entire fight, then loses everything just because a hazard popped up at the wrong time. I suppose the classic example is Killerhurtz vs Mauler.

  • Yeah it can happen to any bot. I've seen a few bots dominate a match then get thrown out or ko by a hazard or house bot.

  • And those sorts of fights I really don't like because it just doesn't seem fair. Robots dominating a battle, then randomly breaking down is kinda upsetting as well.

  • Personally, I find RW was born in the USA, but put in a basket and placed on the UK's doorstep to be raised there. Don't get me worng, I like shows like Battlebots as well, but without our help, Robot Wars would have died out with the cabbage patch dolls.

  • You guys did come up with some good ideas for the show. I'm kind of glad it did go to the UK because we got battlebots and if RW would of stayed here then it would of get canceled since Battlebots was getting more ratings.

  • That's right! I'm glad we understand each other. I personally find that the American robots are more destructive, with more spinners. The British flippers are godly, however. I'd say we both make excellent robots, like Chaos 2, Biohazard, Razer and Tazbot, and Crap robots, Like Diotoir, Buddy Lee don't play in the street, Granny's revenge and Bunny Attack.

  • Yeah there has been alot of crap bots and alot of great bots. 

    A few of the great bot:

    Spinners-Ziggo,SoW,Hypno-Disk,­Typhoon 2

    Flippers-Biohazard,Gravity,Cha­os 2,Toro,T-Minus

    Others-Razer,Terrohurtz,Deadbl­ow,Diesector,sewer snake,death by monkeys

    Listed those cause they are great bots that I like.

  • Some of the robots I like, from both the UK and the USA...

    UK

    Razer, Chaos 2, HypnoDisc, FireStorm IV, Storm II, Typhoon 2, Bulldog Breed, Kronic 4, Envy, Cassius, Panic Attack, Warhead, Pussycat

    USA

    Son of Whyachi, Nightmare, Ziggo, BioHazard, Toro, T-Minus, Vlad the Impaler, Dreadnought, Minion, Mauler, Sewer Snake and Complete Control

  • SoW and Warhead are killer bots. I can't believe I forgot to put Warhead down. I like Complete Control and Firestorm 4 too.

  • Yeah, they are cool =D

    Here are some US vs. UK Tag teams I'd like to see: *NOTICE: The US robots have chosen are from US Robot Wars...

    Panzer Mk4 and Tricerabot (USA)

    vs.

    Chaos 2 and Razer

    Revolutionist and Propellor-Head

    vs.

    HypnoDisc and Firestorm 5

  • Those would be some good matches. I'm not sure who I'd like to see it a tag team match.

  • if that happend he usa might people

  • Complete Control is Canadian.

  • @RobotwarsKing surley Dominator 2, Bigger Brother, Spawn Again and Terrorhurtz deserve a mention?

  • @IndianaJoel93

    Well, it was two years ago...honourable mention to them anyway :P

  • @RobotwarsKing Complete Control is from Canada not USA

  • @shellysabin123

    To be fair, the comment is over two years old (By which point I'd already learned that), but still.

  • @RobotwarsKing Complete Control is actuallty from British Colombia (Canada). Pretty good list though.

  • The House Robots are BBC property. They were created BY the BBC...buy the House Robots DVD, the proof is in there. Thereby, the House Robots could NOT have been in the very first wars, because they hadn't been created yet. Thereby, it's BLATANTLY obvious that I'm right, YOU'RE wrong, and that YOU'RE the one who knows nothing about Robot Wars. Not surprising, considering you're a self-admitted dumbass and can't use basic grammar.

  • LOL!!! We know your a dumbass and that everything you say is wrong. Your still mad because you was proved wrong every time you posted.

  • Well, you've only gone and proven yourself even more of a dumbass by STILL trying to call ME one. Have you never heard of basic grammar? Did you not even read the notes I sent you? You haven't provided a SINGLE piece of evidence to prove what you said is true, all you've done is call me names. Unlike you, I AM a Robot Wars fan, and considering my contributions to YouTube over the past year or so, it shows. You're just a newbie who thinks he knows everything, but doesn't. Please, try to mature.

  • I know your a newbe so go back to playing world of war craft and leave robot wars to the men. All the poof I need is on youtube. No I didn't get any notes from you. You are baned from my channel but I'm sure this hasn't been the first time someone has baned you.

  • I've been here for over a year, actually, so I CAN'T be a newbie, can I? Use some common sense. And no, I've NOT been banned from any RESPECTIBLE channel before (obviously, you don't fall in that group), but basically, my note told you to stop...you're only making a fool out of yourself, and giving Americans a bad name. You're a newbie arguing with an established member who knows what he's talking about (not my quote, honest). Just please calm down, take deep breathes and try again, respectfully

  • Don't lie. You've be baned and are not established in shit. Like I said before, your wrong so get over it.

  • OK, I can see that the whole "calm down" thing clearly isn't getting to you. I've never been banned, I am established and you're (not your. That means you own something) the one who's wrong.

    Once again, please just calm down. I'm nice and relaxed, and you should be as well. You'll feel so much better.

  • I just proved you wrong so now what bitch. You don't know shit about Robot Wars because Marc Thorpe(An American) Thought of robot combat in 92 and created Robot Wars in 94. The UK didn't even have a Robot Wars event held their untill 95 and then Stole the show from Marc in 97.

  • You've now just admitted to being a bitch as well. You haven't proved me wrong in the slightest because, not only did I KNOW all that garbage, I ACKNOWLEDGED it in the earlier post. YOU'RE the one who's been proved wrong by not reading. Go away, self-admitted retard and RW hater, nobody likes a lie teller.

  • Addition word of advice...please, don't argue back. It spoils other people's videos.

  • Only a Robot Wars hater would not know anything about the show. Your just mad because you got proved wrong,that an American come up with it all and the UK had to steal it.

  • And you've just proven that you can't read. AND that you can't use basic grammar. Once again, HOW have I been proven wrong when I already KNOW all of that stuff? You're the one who's wrong here, not me. Now go away and stop telling lies about me. You're giving Americans a bad name.

  • LOL. Is that the best you've got? Like I said you mad that you got proved wrong. Everyone on here knows you don't know shit about the show.

  • You're right...EVERYONE on here knows YOU don't know anything about the show. You're the one who's proven themselves unknowledgeable AND incapable of reading, telling lies about true Robot Wars fans, refusing to drop arguments AND constantly admitting to being a dumbass. Seriously, go away. You're clearly wrong. If you can PROVE the first Robot Wars had House Robots, then DO so. Otherwise, shut up and go away...you're not a Robot Wars fan and never will be.

  • Watch Robotwars series one. Face the facts, you don't know sit about the show. If you would stop watching porn for five seconds and watch a robot wars video you might learn something about it.

  • Well, at last I'm satisfied...satisfied that I won the argument. Because, as I quite clearly said, the first wars did NOT have House Robots. Yes, the first UK Robot Wars did, but we were talking about the first "Robot Wars" by that title. Which didn't. Thereby, I think you owe me a massive apology.

    And secondly...again, STOP with the lies! I hate porn, and I've watched more Robot Wars vids and episodes than you can imagine. You're the one who doesn't know a thing about Robot Wars.

  • Your mad because everyone knows you have to watch porn since no girls like you.

  • Sorry, a "mad because everyone knows you have to watch porn since no girls like you" is not an object that exists, so I clearly don't own one.

    I see that you're clearly beyond help. I've tried reasoning with you, yet you continue with the lie telling and deliberate bashing.

  • Yes we all know you lie way to much and need help.

  • No, I said YOU were the one lying too much, and that YOU were the one who needed help. There's a big difference.

    Once more, calm down.

  • We know you are the one lying to much and that you need help. It's ok we forgive you and want you to find help.

  • OK, you're now making no sense whatsoever. You've been lying continually on this discussion, starting arguments and calling people names, and NOW you're blaming me, the one who's been trying to knock some sense into you.

    You REALLY need to calm down.

  • You don't have to keep telling every you lie. We already know you do but it's ok.

  • OK, I can see you're beyond help.

    Why has it gotten into your head to keep saying "you're telling lies" when I clearly have done none of it?

    Please answer the question.

  • Because you have lied. The show my have changed a small bit but it was stolen. Marc came up with it and two dicks stole it and should have been shot.

  • If you could kindly provide proof it was "stolen", then maybe I'd except it, but considering I did read the story from the Robot Wars Magazine, I doubt that likely.

    Besides, you claimed that the House Robots were in the original Robot Wars, and that the arena was exactly the same.

    But then again, see how much better the discussion is when you're calm?

  • US Robot Wars is nothing compared to the British version. In the UK ones the House Robots had character, and the commentary was so much better!

  • the co host is hot

  • I'll bet you were only looking at her boobs and not her face.

  • Nightstalker working for the US Border Patrol= awesome.

  • YEAH!!! he he he he he he he he he

  • thats cool mick foley rules

  • Rosie The Riveter, and Basenji could have been in G4 tech tv RobotWars the 7th wars. but they were built Nickelodeon RobotWars,And RobotWars ExtremeWarriors.

  • Robot wars extreme warriors is cool and weirdly nightstalkers eyes remind me of mantas.

  • They so do.

  • Rosie the Riviter rocks. Were those Swastikas (Nazi symbols) in Nightstalker's eyes? If anyone has some, can they upload the German Robot Wars?

  • was it mick foley at the beginning?

  • Mick Foley was the host. The show was on the defunct TNN (now SPIKE) back in 2002, shown only in the USA. The shows were repeated many times in 2002, but then they were taken off and haven't been seen since. Robot Wars is no longer produced by the BBC so unfortunately there isn't any chance this will be coming back!

  • i cant believe there was a US version filmed in Britain with British house robots, an no one ever mentioned it. (FOLEY IS GOD)

  • I never knew about it either Neither did i know that Mick foley presented it. Awesome!

  • WTF Mick Foley!?

  • very good. can you download more please?

  • Also, what is it with Americans and the mispronunciation of 'aliminium'? Don't forget to say the i's, as it's not 'a-loo-min-um'.

  • Why is the "i" there anyway?!

  • WTF is that in the pits? It can't hold a conversation, ask a decent question, or learn how to not interrupt someone!

  • WHAT there is an american version!

  • Yeah, there was a British series, an American series, a Dutch series and a German series. All had different commentators.

  • but the thing is robot wars was created in britain, I thought it was british only lol

  • that roosiethe rbbetter(or watever) is a tornado cloon!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!!1

  • And you are a n00b, due to your lack of spelling abilities.

  • I haven't seen this for a while

    And Mick was such a good host

  • But not a patch on Craig Charles in series 2 and 3.

  • gahHH!! why has a drunkard replaced Pierce?!?!

  • Mick Foley is not a drunkard.

  • sure looks like one

  • Mick Foley is a legend and should be treated with respect.

  • I think Mankind is though XD

  • Why the hell was mick foley doing it haha.

  • Was that Mick Folley?

  • YUP! :P

  • You have any other videos of the American Robot Wars? I wouldn't mind seeing, say, Destructive Criticism or Propellor-Head in action, as an example.

  • I remeber this show!!!! Thanks!!!

  • Killalot never did THAT in earlier Robot Wars-It's not fair! I wanted to to see some other robots get dumped out!

  • Thanks! I hardly ever saw the US version....and I LIVE in the US!!

  • Great... could u get a director status and upload a whole episode?

  • I guess I could look into it...not sure how to get permission. The video quality seems pretty good going from my old VHS to MPG. So I will keep uploading as I get the chance.
