Firestorm didn't win because he didn't actually do anything. Flipper robots are very over rated. If you can do some damage with them, then it's good. If you can flip them out of the arena, then it's great. But to flip them on their, and they have a self righting mechanism...that just gives them style points. Also the axe proved it's a decent one as it actually got stuck in the outer shell of Firestorm. Good match, Dominator deserved the win on style.
@computercod5 Hell I'm an American and I like the British guy better than the American. The American guy sounds like a mix between a surfer dude and a total hick. It's nasty.
Battlebots? You couldn't flip anyone OOTA, and the robots weren't as good good as RW. However, the designs of the Battlebots robot were more interesting. I still prefer RW.
I thought Firestorm should have won in the end. Dominator axed a couple of holes in Firestorm but Firestorm was far more aggressive. I guess style and control were more or less even though.
What's the point of being aggressive if your opponent is invilnerable to anything you can throw at him? Dominator could have won, given time... Firestorm was fighting a hopeless battle against an opponent with a self-righting mechanism.
the judges don't know what they're doing, firestorm flipped dominator 2 more than 3 times, firestorm shoulda won. And hypno-disc should have won against the tornado cheaters
HEY ENGLAND! As much as i admire you guys (a lot) it isn't fair to us Americans to get dubbed about stuff that we may do worse! P.S. JP is way better than this guy tho.
HOW the fuck did dominator 2 win? Firestorm was all over him!! If it was me, it would be firestorm, never mind, firestrom is the best looking robot in the world, and one of the best!
one of the best matches they ever had in the series. I used to go around designing RC Robots with a similar concept to firestorm but with a pair of buzz saws behind the flipper.
You find most things get re-done with a local commentary. Mythbusters in England gets an english guy doing the reading, but i much prefer the american version.
the re-dubbed commentary is really annoying on the US airing of this show. Makes it so much worse. It doesn't make any sense to do that. It detracts from the authenticity of the show, and Americans love British accents anyway.
Really? well its true buddy, americans need us to translate Jeremy clarck on Top gear for them AND when america gets TOP GEAR they will have someone who will copy word for word what jeremy said. Plus England have Still Game Which is translated/Subtitled because of the slang talking. Scotland ( where i live ) has Pimp my ride UK where we have some faggot jumping about like a fake slim shady, America has a diffrent commentator cause they wouldent understand JP buddy thats all!
Americans can understand JP so thats not why they got rid of him. I've watched RW and other sporting events where he is the commentator and can understand him just fine. Try to come up with something better next time.
However just to clarify this was the later and the UK version, also the US and UK versions were seperate and no relation as far as series go. Wow its like terets i just cant help myself, why do i care??!?
wat happened to this show i love this show they never show this on tv anymore me and my dad was about to go on that show BUT THEY STOPPED SHOWING IT. WE WERE AFRAID THAT if they stopped showing this show we would look like a fool but anywho i love this show go chaos 2. he is the best robot i have ever seen on this show he is undefeated. i have met chaos two. i did an inter view with George Francis and Ian Swann. they sound like a nice team. they took over 250 hours to make this robot.
I know robot wars was a live event in San Fran from 1994-1997. But this version of robot wars was supposed to be UK. Anyway, wouldn't it have cost more to add the extra commentary that to just keep JP. They should have kept it as it was.
Yeah they should of kept JP. He was easy to understand and was a good commentator. It's wasn't Robot Wars themselvs that changed the commentator it was the TV channels it aired on. It's all about ratings so if the show was not getting good enough ratings the TV channel will cancel the show or change it a bit. Robot Wars ratings were not that high with Battlebots on the air so the had to change it and after awhile cancel it.
OMG..All This Robot Destruction Bring Back Memmories..... Sweet Robotic chaos memmories...ah The Should have This As An Olympic Events...Robot Wrestling..haha
the best were chaos II and razor, i used 2 luv it wen there was this one n it was red n blak n make of felt n it always set on fire rofl...good times!! :)
you are completely right but dont 4get razor that thing took out matilda and was a beast. this was my favorite show and i loved firestorm i flipped out when he lost this match
