This show was practically my childhood.

I love that KZfaq is like a time machine for old programs, I used to watch robot wars every week

41:53 "SHE'S UP TO SPEED NOW BOYS!!!"

I loved this show because it was one of the ones that my brother and I actually both liked. I liked the technological aspect of it and he liked the battle aspect of it and we both liked the competition aspect.

Joe Watts doing his best ginger British kid impression in that thumbnail lol

Typhoons biggest secret their outer shell is the tip of a torpedo tube

This was the first episode of robot wars i ever saw!

Ok, time for some "What If" What If: Hammerhead/Iron Awe managed to flip over typhoon and win. in the former's case iron awe would eat it for breakfast, so in either case Iron Awe goes through to the semis and faces....Thermidor 2. tough fight for sure but Thermidor is literally made of ground clearence and as Prizephita showed in S5, it can be flipped around easily. i'd say iron awe could just about take them. But then you get to Atomic. much better wedge, and design in general. out goes iron awe. Atomic 2 in the final. they face X-terminator 3, and get promptly shredded. i mean it would be close, a well placed flip and not re-righting them ("shakes fist at tsunami") would be the end of it. but i think the vertical disc would do tremendous damage and probably destroy Atomic. leaving X-terminator to face Storm 2 in what would be a great finale. the problem is i see it being exactly what happened with Tornado. the scoop being strong enough to withstand the flywheel and xterminator being too slow to do anything but get shoved and shunted around till it ran out of juice or got pitted. Tornado would probably put on the scoop for atomic and give them a good fight ultimately winning. though if atomic wasnt too badly beaten up by x-terminator it could stand a chance. What If: Bigger Brother beat Iron Awe rear end takes the brunt of typhoon's hit. tip over. BB wins no problem. Thermidor wouldnt be much of a challenge though it all depends on ian's driving. and Atomic would likely be their downfall in which case ctrl c, ctrl v. IF They somehow beat atomic X-terminator would annihilate them since a vertical disc would just do too much damage. the fight with tornado would then be decided on how badly x-terminator obliterated them. but Atomic would probably beat them before all that. What If: Hammerhead won the heat (lol) Thermidor wins first semi battle, gets obliterated by Atomic. ctrl c, ctrl v

Lovely destruction from Typhoon 2

27:11 I remember losing interest at that point and going to the toilet. I then heard my parents scream in the living room. It's only now that I get to live one of the most awkward moments in TV history. You couldn't make it up.

Woah this is first time im watching Series 7 but when i see Bigger Brother and Typhoon 2 in one heat i know there is going to be fun

14:09 Who knew Charles Bronson wasn't very good at driving a robot.

I was also in the audience for the Bigger Brother-Iron Awe 2.1 battle.

FINALLY, time for some real spinners in robot wars!!!!!

What someone told me the other day was that one of the members of the Typhoon 2 team was also the guy that made PP3D which I had no clue about.

I never noticed this before but Refbot was broken in the 2nd eliminator of the heat

Iron Awe probably would've won in every other heat.

Always a classic episode, but have to give a shoutout to that first melee- *Typhoon 2 doesn't spin for a solid minute and a half* "I don't know if you've noticed, but Typhoon 2 is not spinning" *Typhoon 2 finally gets up to speed, but flails helplessly on its side* "That's what you need to see! TYPHOON 2, IS STILL MOBILE" Never change JP, never change.

Xenomorph was essentially The Master from the old school American Robot wars

I'm really liking your choice of thumbnails

Would love to have seen bigger brother vs typhoon with the new armour and how sturdy bigger brother is it would have won in my opinion

27:11 Absolutely magnificent!

17:23 Personally I would've put Xenomorph through instead of Hammerhead 2. Hammerhead had a long period of immobility after their flipper broke, and I didn't see them getting stuck in as much as Xenomorph. Ah well.

Yo Iron Awe 2 totally took out both of Sir Killalot's eye LED's.

And I thought Colossus would do better after Series 6 with the self righting bars added. And yet the flipper failed to work. And if Bigger Brother righted it seconds earlier, then Typhoon 2 would've gone out. I wonder what they did with Colossus.

Just goes to show the amount of luck involved on the show. Typhoon 2 could have easily went out in round 1, yet went on to win the entire series.

Hammerhead 2 got railway track bits dropped on it in the drop zone!. From Joe. X

The old pack em and stack em. Legendary

Iron Awe knocked out Killalot’s eyes.

Typhoon was Lucky in the first Melee.

Typhoon 2's road to being the new uk champion

I would have liked to see Gravity win its heat, it's such an entertaining bot. But I have to admit Hard as Nails thoroughly deserved its win, it's just so well-engineered and efficient, just gathers up the opposition and dumps them gently in the pit. And it has the great merit of depriving the house thugbots of any victims to beat to death.

Bigger Brother went out in round 2 again. Some triumph return they had. 3-time semi finalist and a grand final for Bigger Brother, but they didn't make it far in the 7th wars. Back to the lower seeds for them.

1:55 Colossus my beloved

25:41 ah, but you're forgetting the fact it's made out of carbide steel, which is much, much tougher than whatever soft 4mm of steel your bot supposedly went through.

The debut of the champion.

27:10 W T F!!!! NOBODY EXPECTED!!!

Don't know why everyone emphasises Iron Awe's axe, its flipper is far more dangerous, as Bigger Brother found out.

Good grief that Typhoon bloke sounds like Stephen Hendry!!!

Xenomorph looks like The Master back in ‘95

Bilbo and the brothers grim hahahahahha

15:52 That's a strong flipper by Iron Awe

If Shunt was not out of the CPZ in the fight between Bigger Brother & Iron Awe 2, it would've continued for a little bit longer.

Xenomorph reminds me of Stinger in Series 3

I wish it will come back soon

Typhoon 2 did very little in its first battle. If Big Brother had attacked it before the other two, it could have fallen at the first stage. A What could have been...

All Big Brother had to do was flip Typhoon 2 first :-(

Revenge of trouble and strife is M.R. Speed Squared

Got to be honest, I think bigger brother would have beaten Typhoon 2 and how different things could have been

27:10 finally the payback for Bigger Brother fluking that win against Hypno-Disc was delivered

I think I’ve found the new cheeky barsterd It’s iron awe 2.1

Typhonn would be destroyed 1 vs 1 vs Bigger Brother

i really liked the look of Xenomorph, shame they went out in the first round

27:07 Shunt was in the way. Bigger Brother got screwed

Nice

Thumbnail should be used as an emoji in the RW OOTA Discord: :joethink: Just friggin hated Typhoon 2 at how it won the Seventh Wars tho.

and although we never know it at the time Typhoon 2 were making their 1st installment on this a good year for the team north of hadrian's wall

14:10 Mike Phillipson and DisConstructor GO HOME YOU'RE DRUNK!!!!!

Tombstone vs U.R.O

Poor Ellie. Bigger Brother went out early despite getting close in the last wars but fell short to Razer, Eliminated early by Iron-Awe 2.1

booger eater! 24:15 hahaha!

Iron-Awe - Negan? XD

22:35 they are easily taking any1 and are afraid of Supernova xD?

29:10 CC "Never mind never mind... Ellie are you Ok?" Ellie: "Yeah" CC: "At least you're not crying and shit" Did I hear that right??

33:50

Tough as nails? More like boring as hell

Imagine if Bigger Brother had sent Typhoon out when it wasn't working...

Big Brother would have destroyed Typhoon if that derpy Iron awe could have just taken one for the team. Maybe then RW wouldn't have been cancelled.

This was the first episode of robot wars i ever saw!
