Robot Wars 2002

[iMacG4Guy]

Does anybody know what the music is when the robots come into the arena? Thanks.

[Scrapyard24c]

@TechnoJosh1 That's because it is Heavy Metal Noise!

[IndianaJoel93]

just think of all the great destructive and powerful robots in the real Robot Wars like Razer, Hypno Disc, Terrorhurtz, Chaos 2, Firestorm, Tornado, Dominator 2, X-Terminator, Storm 2 and Typhoon 2 among others, and then you get these things...

and little kids are in charge of the teams? and no fire? no "rough" language allowed? Sir Killalots name was changed? why? just why?

[XxjustinxXx]

he looks like harry potter!!!

[elvisonvelvet]

wheres battle 1

[DCRockerGuy]

Sgt. Bash and Sir K. are badass

[yboben]

what channal that show?

[Majerwwefanner]

wai you had made Basenji?

[Edgehog5]

Hannibal wins the ahniallator.

[Headbanger142]

I actually fought John Carioti (old dude on the Basenji team lol) at a tournament in Philidelphia. The problem though was that my robot used the same frequency powering his weapon, so when he flipped me, he flipped himself and we were both stuck on our backs the rest of the match.

[dluppers1]

robot wars uk > robot wars nickolodeon alot of the rwn are shit and the good ones like basenji and revolutionist should eather compete in robot wars uk or battlebots ROBOTICA SUCKS

[elvisonvelvet]

oh no it isnt big dumbo

[Headbanger142]

What robot is that getting pinched by Bash 1:49?

[02Ctu2486]

That was Wowot: One of the many creations made by Adam Clark. That scene was during the Extreme Warriors International Special where four of the best US bots took on four of the best UK bots

[Headbanger142]

Yeah, and Tornado won SMEG!!!

[Natester555]

Who won the entire ahnnialator?

[Keurgui1]

hannibal

[Keurgui1]

hannibal was crapy if BA did not lose its hammer it would a won a it's forlifs didn't do jack

[RobotwarsKing]

I saw Hannibal as the favourite to win this battle! I'm also quite impressed that that guy built it on his own =P

[Keurgui1]

i wanted bunny attack to win awell second is good too right

[RobotwarsKing]

Yeah. Second is nice, but first is even nicer! And to be brutally honest, I don't like Bunny Attack. His hammer doesn't do anything, and he has all that fur, BUT NEVER BURNS! >=(

[mollyoneil2312]

that was my little brother!

if you look close enough you can see i'm the dork in the usa t-shirt next to him :)

[RobotwarsKing]

Is he? Cool. COngratulate him on my behalf, please =P

[Keurgui1]

how exactly do the piecemaker us those saw -_-

[RobotwarsKing]

Whoops! I don't think that's where Basenji left his door keys =D

[BellyLover06]

Piecemaker looks like Disposable Hero from Battlebots.

[RobotwarsKing]

It looks more like Heavy Metal Noise to me...

[Keurgui1]

he's right

[RobotwarsKing]

Personally, I think The PieceMaker looks like the lovechild of Heavy Metal Noise and a Tape Deck.

[ffjv55]

Basenji you bucket of bolts!Watch where you are going!

[alabzam]

Sir k sounds stupid the children would think his full name is sir kindalot how stupid.

[Keurgui1]

sir k is not a stupid name and you'r just mad it's not the same

[shadowthehedgehogtom]

Yeah didn't think the little one would win. But I usualy like to see the flippers like Wheely big cheese and thermidor and all them lot.

[MegGriffin45]

They renamed Sir Killalot Sir K because Nickelodeon thought it was too scary for kids.

[christophermason]

And yet, they thought "Dead Metal" would be OK? I've asked this a few times before, and even after a few explanations, I've never understood it.

[shadowthehedgehogtom]

So who won after Basenji lost? Let me guess. It was bunny attack right?

[CatsNDominoes]

Actually, It was Hannibal. Bunny Attack did make it to the final, but were defeated by Hannibal.

[Headbanger14]

The little Middleweight Piecemaker got eliminated in the next round. Quite awesome. Dead Metal sawed through it and set off sparks and then Bunny Attack lost his hammer!

[Scottyjburgess]

Sir K???? WTF? Its Sir KILLALOT!!!

[wakkydude]

Scottyjburgess- It is NICKOLODIAN robot wars! (kids)

[psyckoacm]

"look harry potter drives a robot"

[tylersmily]

lol be nice

[henaz999]

bring back craig charles and johnathon pierce!!

[RobotwarsKing]

And all the old games (Gauntlet, Sumo, Football, Tug of War...)too!

[henaz999]

Yeah, they lost time in series 6, BBC only gave them half hour shows and in s7 they did the world championships...

[Headbanger14]

And the music! Remember the music playing in the Season 1-4 battles? Damn awesome!

[Keurgui1]

i liked that had a good beat.

[Headbanger14]

Andy drives pretty well lol

[gibberingfool]

What's going on here?!

That's the British Arena, British House Robots, British format of TV show... But American presenter, comentator etc...

[fangorn]

This series was filmed in London in Jan. 2002 for distribution to the US only. Nickelodeon aired these shows in the summer of 2002 on American TV.

The target audience was kids- so they changed the name of Sir Killalot to Sir K !! Kinda silly, really.

[gibberingfool]

Ah I see.

I still think the good ol' Craig Charles, Phillipa Forrester and Jonathon Pierce combination was better :p

[christophermason]

Even more silly by the fact that they didn't change Dead Metal's name either. That's just unfair on the big guy (Sir Killalot), especially as "Dead Metal" isn't that kid friendly either. Mind you, D-Metal or D-M wouldn't sound right.

[fangorn]

They also removed the Flame Grate, and did not allow any "rough" language during the interviews. My son said "I screwed up" and they made him re-do it and say "I messed up" ! We both still laugh over that one.

[Typhoon6666]

Censors get picky over the tiniest things.

Removed the flame grate? But that's where Diotor would catch fire. :(

[christophermason]

It looks like they also disabled Sgt Bash's flamethrower. He's not Sgt Bash without his flamethrower though!

[Keurgui1]

at least we can pay attentin to the pincers

[slickvixx]

no sgt bash T.T

[FaithHealer1]

@fangorn Is it just me have they not only got rid of the flame grills and jets, but also Sgt Bash's flamethrower?
