@SUPERMADIDIOT It ended back in 2004 because the bastards at Channel 5 decided 'it would be funny' by putting the air dates of the Seventh Wars at ridiculous times. Including the fact that it should have been better to put it on Friday nights (Like BBC did), not boring Sunday afternoons. Still, there are events in the UK and US that are still running. Search "Robots Live", "Roaming Robots" or "Robots: Extreme Wars Live!"
i read in a magazine that one of the guys who does "mythbusters" had a good robot in Robotwars-but it got banned for being TOO dangerous! (it used buzzsaw blades to chop up the others-legal, but it would throw pieces of it's opponents into the audience, hence the ban.)
@254banda Ah here we go a typical youtube mouth breathing moron who knows nothing about the making of these electronic friends, your on here spewing your puss balls yet again. Your just unhappy that you didnt get to go on this show and suck Clarksons motor but the closet you got was the scrapyard gates thinking it was the main office, even the main office isnt in the same damn place as the arena. People like you make me sick and hungry. It was a great show end of.

@razt125 attention whore? haha ok sure, these are just a test to see how many people use to watch this. and came to watch it to relive some memories...and your from the future? don't you thin that you are being an attention whore? besides stop living in a fantasy world. And go and make something of yourself
@CAlebSangster24 I just came to the future to tell that i was watching this 2010, now im heading back. How the fuck would it be possible to like that comment posted 3 months ago if it was 2010 and not 2011. Thats just stupid.
i cant believe they replaced this with that BULLSHHHHH on discovery channel. The new 1 is like 90% talking and 10% fight.They only show like 2 mins of the match -.-
@AnnoyanceHazard Check BBCRobotwarsUK's channel, he should have uploaded every episode from Series 1 to Extreme 2. Discoverysweden and Mverstappen should have all of Series 7.
@snowinowen4 The USA did not "steal" Robot Wars. The sport actually started in America in 1994, with robots competing in an untelevised competition called Robot Wars. People have recorded the fights and put them on youtube. The competitions ended in 1997 when Mentorn, through a huge bout of legal controversy gained the rights for a UK version of Robot Wars which started in 1998. Then Battlebots began as pay-per view events in 1999, started by competitors of the USA Robot Wars.
If they don't want to re-air or reboot the show, at least give the rights for someone to make it into a current-gen videogame! Sure, there were other Battlebots/RW games, but game physics and processors weren't nearly capable enough to handle destruction of this complexity. Now what with the PS3, 360 and Wii... Wait, make that PS3 and 360. Scratch that, make it a PS3 exclusive. That's the only way it would work to it's fullest potential. Anyway, my point is MAKE IT A MODERN GAME ALREADY!
@helloface001 My bad, I was just making a little jab at the 360 but I'm not against it. Actually it would be better for RW to be multiplatform so it gets more publicity. As long as it doesn't come out with simplified graphics/physics for the Wii, and it's made by a company that can respect the source, I'm okay with it. Who knows, maybe it will be out for Nintendo's new HD console coming out next year as well!
I loved the scene where some robot totally destroyed the triceratops robot! Sweet revenge for all who got terminated by that triceratops bot (forgot the name of it lol).
