The Raston Warrior Robot

[1terminatorxx]

Since the Raston warrior robots are almost or even indestructable (this one managed to take out an entire squad of cybermen) why didn't the time lords just create an army of them to fight the daleks in the time war?!

[1terminatorxx]

a fight between the raston warrior robot and a squad of daleks could also be interesting

[techraan]

@superfawful64 All good points. You forgot to include how Star Trek NEXT GEN also robbed Red Dwarf. Also, only about half of the STNG series was even tolerable. You're preaching to the choir. Let's face it. Almost nothing is new, but my point still remains. Before the 2000s, Dr Who was really... um... I don't have to explain. This clip speaks for itself. Dr Who was a really stupid show for a very long time. Not as stupid as Lexx, but still really stupid.

[nikstiks]

friggin best dude ever!!

[techraan]

And this is why Dr Who didn't take off outside the UK until the 2000s. All it would take is 3 seconds of... this, and you're right back to a rerun of Star Trek.

[hooperunderscorex]

poor Cyberman, he was just looking for a place to do a core dump.

[fodsaks]

'The most perfect killing machine ever devised.'

And with its first shot it misses from about 20 feet away! XoD

[nikstiks]

@fodsaks That's the funniest thing ever!!

[cthuloid9]

I'd love to see this with the huge effects budget of the new series

[FamilyOfMan1975]

Babelcolour did a better job with the warrior's movements.

[borgduck]

Like lambs to a kebab shop.

[Xxsom3a35xX]

why does it jump before it moves wtf?

[jezzeh2807]

To see a cyberman cyberbarf click here 2:35

[vorn29]

I love the way this technically advanced killing machine just happens to leave it`s arrows and a sling leaning up against a cave entrance for the likes of John Pertwee to pick up.

He was the best doctor IMO

[FunkKlock]

holy shit!

[Arzaker]

AKA

blind robot ninja

[ShyDaniel2112]

I'd like to see a Raston play tag with the Weeping Angels from NuWho. It's a robot, so it shouldn't set off their quantum lock defense and they're both faster'n greased Sontaran shit.

[zodiuss]

wtf?

[tomizdabest1]

is the raston robot in any other doctor who episodes?

[DALEK86]

@tomizdabest1 no, just this one.

[borgduck]

@tomizdabest1 No.

[pakau]

LOLL so stupid..

[skitster]

Just realised there aren't enough gay silver ninja robots in Neu Who

[cottonwhiskersuk]

Who would have thought something so gay-looking could be so deadly?

[bluemensch]

Wow.

Raston Warrior looks like something from Japan ex: Ultraman :p

[psylentknight]

@bluemensch now that I see this post, he does kinda remind me of a beta version of Pepsiman.

[tawitface]

lol was this filmed in wales loads of slate.

[martinbizarro]

@tawitface yes it was filmed in snowdonia - which also doubled for the Himalayas in a sixties story.

[Pikawil64]

You know what a Doctor Who summer blockbuster movie would be like? 30 seconds of exposition talk from the Doctor followed by 90 minutes of the Raston Warrior Robot killing the entire Pandorica alien alliance then taking on all universes.

It should be called "Raston Warrior Robot tosses javelins at everyone".

[borgduck]

Like lambs to a kebab shop!

[AbbotOfSwords]

When it jumped up and disappeared reminded me of the Teletubbies!

[scarabmango]

We Yanks need a few of those at our southern border.

[schizoidboy]

@scarabmango I was thinking Afghanistan myself:)

[fastold]

like to see that thing fight daleks lets see how long he could last then

[madchef]

The most perfect killing machine ever devised...

-thwap-

Ha you missed!

...

Anything else I should know?

Yes, they jump like ballerinas

[blade0954]

good scene you can see the string when the raston robot fires the weapons

[bluemensch]

its ULTRA MAN :p

[Doomy23]

I'm pretty fucking sure lightning doesn't jump 1 foot in the air, dissapear using shitty editing, and then reappear a few feet away.

[shortercrust]

@Doomy23 Oh you big misery!

[Doomy23]

@shortercrust

I was making a joke about the fact that they say that spandex wearing creature is "lighting fast"

[borgduck]

Like lambs to a kebab shop!

[johnvonahlen]

I Am Human :)

[borgduck]

I'm not!

[SpiffySpider]

at 2:41 a cyberman faints!

[TRUMPER007]

Brilliant scene from 'The Five Doctors' - a true classic! Only one thing - why no Cyberleader in this particular Cyber-squad?

[thefluffychicken]

@TRUMPER007

There was a Cyberleader at 1:53,

but you never see him die O_O

[TRUMPER007]

Oh yes - thanks.

[CaptainRhoo]

He does die, he's the one that looks like he's playing bass guitar with a javelin thing through his left arm.

[thefluffychicken]

He gets hit in the arm, but i don't see his (dead?) body anywhere :\

[ftumschk]

Where's the Holy Hand-Grenade of Antioch when you need it?

[efsq]

lol

[efsq]

wait, so, nobody else sees it?

[borgduck]

LOL!

[zufgh]

lol

Arthur: ONE! TWO! FIVE

Lancelot: Three, sir !

[MrRAPTORFAG]

@ftumschk Too right, this scene reminded me of The Holy Grail.

[mcsmudgey]

raston thing vs daleks would b nice to c lol

[theseus27]

Oh yes,now that would be an interesting battle to see....no guessing who might win though!!

:-)

[CrimsonParkDog]

@mcsmudgey I'd like to agree. I bet that thing would make mincemeat out of them.

[legoblaster987]

at 2:35 A CYBERMAN VOMITS!

[LordGeorgeRodney]

The man inside actually does due to heat inside costume.

[mito0101]

I though nothing worst than power rangers could exist.

hahah kidding, I have some respect for fiction at any era.

[DarkPraetor]

I assume that there's still some living tissue after cyber conversion. In "Attack of the Cyberman," the bodies go through a 'conditioning' process, which doesn't always work.. so yes, even though there is some robotics for the arms and legs, I believe there is still living tissue under there.

I'm sure if anything was massacred, it would scream or at least show discomfort.. which is exactly what this cyber squad did.. quite by surprise too. The other ones showed no fear until they got hit. >_>

[matthiasfsa]

hahahaah the effect are hilarious xD

[mito0101]

As the woman nec clothes

[FILMMAKERCHAP]

im convinced thats kenny everett in that silver suit lol

[OpethTheaterEon]

Call X to kill him

[Meh347]

I would like to see these remade in the new series.

[bachmanthomas21]

me too

[kyon813]

The Raston Warrior Robot---The latest member of the Confuse-a-cat squad!

[ganon492]

at the part wen the cyberleader dies the cyberman vomeits

[Kaginokstaka]

lol love how raston kills the last one.....lightly backhands the cyberman across the face and his head expodes lol so funny

[courtney359]

Here a crazy idea cybermen why not try using your guns.

[totalcarp95]

why did the cybermen scream or something similar, i thought they had no emotions, is it something to do with the electronics?

[LichKingBoi]

its like the daleks when they are under attack they sometimes scream

[totalcarp95]

yes but daleks have some emotions cybermen have none

[OmegaShenron6574]

yu can scream from pain even if you are emotionless

[RegenerationStorm]

well they have every right to scream , but i think because the cybermen are being killed , its the human gunge inside of them - the parts of the brain , and it creates absoloute fear of death

[banneradders]

Possible damage to their emotion inhibitor > shown in Rise Of The Cybermen

[RegenerationStorm]

no , i cant remember what makes them do that - they seem to scream in a new series episode 'doomsday' when the cyberleader's head is blown off

[CrimsonParkDog]

I have to agree. And anyways, if one RWR wipes out this small group of Cybermen, imagine if an whole army of RWR's can do to the entire Cyber-race.

[Nanaman12345]

DAMN! That thing took on a squadron of Cybermen!

It HAS to come back for the new series!

[stewiegriffin1963]

Yeah, THEY SHOULD! They could slightly redisgn them still keep the powerful look but give it slight armour look (And maybe beacuse its a robot, it could spin 360 degrees)and they could, in the story, be the Cybermen's equal arch enemies like the Borg's Species 8472!

[BlueAcid9]

"in the story, be the Cybermen's equal arch enemies like the Borg's Species 8472!"

That would be stupid.

[stewiegriffin1963]

We'll, if you think about it, the Cybermen encounter all kinds of aliens (To add to thier army) and you would think that the aliens would fight back in rebellion or would just be like animals and attack anyway. There MUST be more of these Raston Warrior Robots if the 3rd Doc knew about them (There must be loads of em').

[BlueAcid9]

Yeah, but it wouldn't make any sense for the to be the Cybermen's archnemesis.

Anyway, if 1 of them can destroy about 12 Cybermen in under a minute, what would be the point?

[stewiegriffin1963]

We'll, the Cybermen are likely going to encounter them agian since the Cybermen's quest is to convert everything else into thier own. Of course the Cybermen are gonna go to war with the Rastons sooner or latter, the Cyber Leader isn't going to say "Invade every eria - except for the Rastons, they kicked are ass."

[BlueAcid9]

The Cybermen are only concerned with upgrading people, not assimilating things, stop watching Star Trek, they're not the Borg.

They'd have no interest in the Raston Warrior Robots.

And of cource they would avoid them, do you think the Cybermen are stupid?

[stewiegriffin1963]

But the Cybermen could destroy them possibly with a cannon blaster hanging from a hovering dymond shaped Cyber Ship (May not exist yet but I've invented it!). The Cybermen would not except having thier arse kicked and yes of course they would wipe out the Rastons (They fought the Daleks and took "Emergency upgrade"). AND the Cybermen declared war on the Daleks, wiping out the Rastons is on the Cyber Leader's to do list.

[BlueAcid9]

So you're saying that the Cybermen would need to bring in SHIPS just to kill individual opponents? That doesn't look pretty lame to you? Who would watch that?

You're crazy if you think the Cybermen would go OUT OF THIER WAY to attack RWRs, just because a few of them were killed by one on some planet in the middle of nowhere. Cybermen don't have emotions, they wouldn't care, attacking the RWRs would be a waste of Cybermen.

What's Emergency Upgrade?

They didn't declare war on the Daleks.

[stewiegriffin1963]

I know they wouldn't care, but the Rastons are a threat and could advance (You can't say that they won't beacuse like it or not they are a form of threat). Also, only two Cybermen were killed by the Daleks in 'Doomsday' and yet the Cybermen intended to wipe them out! Emergency upgrade is from 'Doomsday'. The emergency upgrade was different to just removing the brian, emergency upgrade was parts added onto humans (Also seen in the Torch Wood Series One episode 'Cyberwoman').

[stewiegriffin1963]

Also, you'd think the'd be billions of Cybermen. The Cybermen are a whole entire race, not just a bunch of soldiers in Iraq!

[stewiegriffin1963]

ALSO, bringing in ships is THE only way to be sure of thier abolish. It seems pretty logical if you ask me. Although, I do agree with that being not so much 'a must watch'.

[BlueAcid9]

What's logical?

Why the hell are they going to bring in ships to destroy individual robots? This is an insanely STUPID waste of time and resources, and also something that is totally OUT OF CHARACTER for the Cybermen.

THe Cybermen only want to upgrade people, they have no interest in revenge.

Also, the RWR can teleport into anther dimension, how would the Cybermen hit them?

[stewiegriffin1963]

True. You know what, I'm just gonna stop waitsting time. It was just an idea you jackass!

[BlueAcid9]

"True. You know what, I'm just gonna stop waitsting time. It was just an idea you jackass!"

Fuck you cocksucker, it was a stupid idea.

[stewiegriffin1963]

Why are we arguing over this? I'm sorry...

[BlueAcid9]

Because you called me an asshole.

[AlexanderT21]

why are you two so fucking childish

[stewiegriffin1963]

But what if the Cybermen accidentally encounter the Rastons, then what. They could get in the way of upgrade!

[BlueAcid9]

You mean what if a group of Cybermen encountered one?

Unless they HAD to kill it, they'd likely just stay away from it.

[stewiegriffin1963]

That's stupid, that would make the Rastons look like School bullies!

[BlueAcid9]

The Cybermen are not going to go out of their way to attack something that can slaughter them.

[frangipanii]

I love classic doctor who :D

[Changeling9au]

I'd LOVE to see it chop up a squad of Daleks. Be good to see what it can do with hand to hand combat - a five point palm exploding heart technique on a helplessly slow cyberman would be kinda cool. Uma Thurman eat yr heart out!

:)

[BlueAcid9]

"I'd LOVE to see it chop up a squad of Daleks."

LOL Daleks have shields and stronger armor, that thing would be lunch.

[furyplum44]

OOOH a vomiting cyberman at 2:36!!!!

[randothepally]

DON'T Watch on high volume!

[Buh0r]

Yep sorry about that, I don't know why the sound came out so high pitched.

[randothepally]

They should bring that back

[StefanPriceUK]

The Five Doctors is the very best of Doctor who, after it was first shown on Children in need in 1983 I watched it most days, and even sat down and wrote out the script one day.

[stewiegriffin1963]

Cool!

[Slammerzza]

Watching cybermen getting wiped out is almost as satisfying as seeing a dalek explode!!!

[junkershvn]

Cybermen get their asses whipped by PEPSIMAN!

[bermudarailway]

If you think this creature was bad just take a look at Ann Robinson ,even all five Doctors together couldn,t have beaten that evil twisted sadistic bitch and she is ginger, there is no hope!What will happen when she dies(thats if she was ever alive,many have doubts!)Heaven won't have her and Hell will be scared that she will take over.Oh Devil how I pity you!

[sparkythegerbil]

The Raston Robot was probably the best bit in The Five Doctors!

[PeromyscusLeucopus]

This thing would destroy an army of Daleks by itself :-D It's ashame that the new writers and producers don't go back and take more of a look at the old series for things to add to the new series.

[ThomasJeromeNewton]

This bloke would be perfect as the new Raston warrior, In fact I told him that- Hint BBC wales

[1984kid1]

they shouldent ruin any more than wot they already have !

[skunktail6]

2:37 Did that Cyberman puke up?

[ben123HOT]

yes

[GiratinaofFury]

Yeah I saw that too.

[Daffiodle3]

really gorey for littel kids

(i could see why my parents were scared at 9 years old)

[bermudarailway]

Lets see Daleks move over that terrain this thing is awsome!

[bluenun2100]

best seen in classic who,luve the vomiting cyberleader

[brummieforlife26]

Bring back the raston warrior robot RTD!

Talking about the raston warrior robot why didnt the time lords use them during the time war with the daleks i mean a couple of them would easily of defeated the daleks

[SonofNightmare]

I think that Dalek weapons could have defeated it but also their shields. Most of all think that it reminded them too much of the Dark Time so they didn't use it

[tardiselliot]

well it wasnt said the timelords created the rastons robots. just that everything in the zone is picked from across time and space

[Rahhelthethird]

The Raston Warrior Robot deseves to be in the new series.

[alonsyalonso]

yeah, even if its a little scene like this!

[daleksec54]

lol,raston robot slaughtered them like cattle!the cybermen are uslesss against him!

[hilarioph]

Is so hard to make a

more dramatic scene from

The Raston Warrior Robot

on the tv series dr who

just like on the philippines

they did so many special affects

here because is the best.

But this one is the most classic

special affects every on Doctor who,

and is the best. Nice scene

[Dunes]

Great action scene. Raston robot 2,Cybermen 0!

[TomD4Eva]

I love how the cybermen line up and turn around in synch like Westlife going for a key change!

[bermudarailway]

Cybermen are more musically talented

[sword4thelord]

I'd love to see a modern realisation of the Raston Warrior Robot on the new series of Doctor Who. Done properly it could prove to be one of most terrifying villains out there.

[timelord663]

2:35-2:36 omg the cyberman vomited...

[sophomorictrash]

This scene ignited the bizarre "Cyber-Slaughter" subgenre in DOCTOR WHO. I don't know why fans get a perverse kick out of this, but we do.

[SophieOohie]

Probably because you're subconsciously h/c lovers. PS they had it well before this scene!

[sophomorictrash]

Wow. You'd better let a psychiatrist have a look at that anti-geek neurosis of yours; it could develop into something psychotic.

[alastairward]

Cybermen die quite satisfyingly for the average SF fan, lots of sparks and gore too.

[LazarouMonkeyTerror]

Killed by Interpretive Dance, thats no way for a butch cyberman to go.....

[Sindre1]

I hope so too!

[Sindre1]

Russell T Davies:"Best. Massacre. Ever. Heads go flying! Arms! Guts! On Children in Need night! We should really bring those Rastons back one day, they were brilliant..."

Terrance Dicks: "I hope so, there'll be a few quid in it for me!"

[banneradders]

and ive been waiting , praying that they would do lol

[SophieOohie]

What it did was mean!

[banneradders]

Yea , you have to remember tho it was a robot made to do just that. Just like a toaster made to burn bread. So really whoever created it was mean really :)

[SophieOohie]

What it did was mean!

[randomdave79]

Lethal! Fantastic! Three cheers for the Raston Warrior Robot! Hip-Hip-Hooray! Hip-Hip-Hooray! Hip-Hip-Hooray!

Ahem.
