Robotwars Series 5 Heat C Part 1

The fifth wars saw a return to the same fighting format as Series 3, with 4 one on one clashes for round 1 and it was similar to Series 3 with 8 contestants a heat. The question on everybody's mind was if the two time and current Robotwars UK Champion Chaos 2, could clinch an unthinkable third title. The familiar faces of Craig Charles and Johnathan Pearce remain in the spotlight and Phillipa Forrester has returned for the fifth wars. The 8 robots in Heat C are Stinger, Hippobotomus, General Carnage 2, Guzunderbot, S3, Plunderbird 5, Mousetrap and Shredder.

Fair play to the Plunderbird team for being gracious to the S3 team

@TheTradge 6 жыл бұрын

Yeah the Plunderbird team were always gracious in defeat and always recognised when they were well beaten, all the big fighting talk was just part of the act, and I always enjoyed seeing them on RW.

yes pussycat's weapon is technically a saw blade, but actually the first vertical spinning disc is from a robot called daisy chopper (from series 3) but it didnt do very well.

Plunderbird were really unlucky to be drawn against S3 in the first round. But I don't have any problem with S3 continuing to attack. If you don't want to risk your robot being destroyed, don't enter in the first place. I would have thought battles like this, and of course, Hypnodisc's battles, would shut Ian Lewis' mouth.

It's a shame that in this series, there was less footage of the teams in the pits and more gimmicky graphics. The worst bit about it is that before every battle, they waste time reminding us over and over of the house robots stats. Thank God the battles are good.

I wish they'd show more clips of veterans of wars. Because S3 and Shredder had missed a war I had trouble trying to remember who they were and their past robot.

Its so sad that the legendary Plunderbirds ended with that fight would've been nice for them to go out on a high. You could tell they were really cut up about it as well they weren't doing their usual 'We'll be back' attitude. As much as I like S3 they were a little ungracious to keep attacking after Plunderbird had been clearly immobilized

@A9132robotwars It deserved respect for many reasons - mainly because it was the most successful robot in RW history in terms of wins and titles won. You can say it's boring, you dislike it (many people did), but you have to give them credit for their record, driving skill, and consistently devastating weaponry. Unlike other robots who faded out as robots' armour got tougher, Razer remained dangerous and damaging.

@SeriousGamer2009 Tbf they did. They were just keeping their hardcore faces on during the fight and they even said well done and made a few jokes. at least they didnt go all Ian Lewis on us. I DO believe that S3 acted fairly because this is what Robot Wars is about, but the Plunderboys were NOT being moody and sore losers.

always liked the mousetrap team, they were just so polite and unassuming humble in victory gallant in defeat and had one of the most unique and thematic robots in the series yeh the design was outdated by series 4 but that’s not the point it was always good fun and they were a constant force in RW, less known fact is they were in RW 7 with black and blue the second dedicated clusterbot i believe.

Razer hardly demolished both of the Milly Ann Bug drums, it nipped it a couple if times then went straight for the wheels. Once the wheels were off Razer came back to have another go at ripping the last wheel off which didn't rip off properly then Razer went after Matilda. Hardly unnecessary post-immobolisation damage. Also, when Razer was against Tornado, Razer left Tornado alone once they were sure it was immobolised. (Ok, they may have nipped it one more time but hardly any damage was caused)

@Gavin17259 12 жыл бұрын

Razer never attacked robots once they were immobolised. They usually pitted them or left them for the house robots. Name me one time when Razer did unnecessary damage to a robot once it was immobolised.

Simon and Vinnie gave props to All Torque for being a tough opponent and Ian just stood there not saying anything, as if he was the king or something.

@A9132robotwars To say he'll never be a sportsman just because he lost his temper when it was 10 years ago for all we know completely resolved and none of us know him personally I thinks unfair. If you think he was a bad sportsman thats your call, I respectfully disagree I think he was a decent guy that lost his temper, said something stupid and apologised for it. And from my perspective they took Millys wheels off to immobilize it and then laid off.

If only Plunderbird 5 had decent armor, it would probably have fared much better. It wasn't a half bad robot to be honest.

Pussycat's disc is more a circular saw, not really a virtually mounted disc in the weight/style like s3/Xterminator etc

@Gavin17259 12 жыл бұрын

And then against Technolease Razer left them alone once they were immobolised unless you count Razer lifting them up with it's tail as unnecessary attacking. I suppose with All Torque Razer did attack them even though they were immobolised but cease as called very quickly and Razer didn't really have time to do much unnecessary damage. But one occasion 1 year before his complaint is hardly a good justification to call him a hypocrite.

If that's the case whats the point of the weapons on competitor robots? and B. Did you see how quickly Dead Metal pitted Razor? TBC Again

@A9132robotwars He wasn't the only one to get annoyed when someone broke the 'gentlemen's agreement' and trashed their bot - I think the Stealth team were angry with Hypnodisc in Series 3, and others beforehand. Yeah he was pretty childish, but he got over it pretty quick - their grudge match in Extreme 1 was staged largely, they'd already made up about it. When they started actually winning things they seemed to grow up and become less precious about their machine.

Sure I did mention the Razer team and that started this whole debate. I'm sorry, I seem to keep doing this. Lets agree on this?

@A9132robotwars 12 жыл бұрын

@tufty1990 This is the last time!: And finally I understand frustration with controversial judges decisions. But it was the RAZOR TEAM that decided that Tornado should go through. And also, not many teams take their anger our on their own team mates just because they think they should withdraw. If Ian was such a sportsman as you call him, he would have acknowledged the fact that Razor was dead for ages and would have let Tornado through. Would a sportsman lash out at his own team mate? NO!

@BulletDrummer Basically in extreme 2, the European Championships when Razer won against tornado via the judges (unfairly because Razer was dead and Tornado wasnt) Simon and Vinnie decided to let Tornado through which let to Ian rage. Ian claimed that Vinnie didnt help make the robot so he wasnt an officail team member. This led to Vinnie quitting the team and shortly after so did simon, ending the Razer tean and their chances of entering again. Good riddance!

@A9132robotwars I think its unfair though to tarnish six years of sportsmanship with 2 incidents where he lost his temper, 1st one is a fair point of view because I dont remember Razer ever attacking a robot once it had been immobilised, the 2nd one I agree that when controversial judges decisions go against you, you have to take it the judges have to make the decision its right to say both times he didnt need to lose his temper but overall he had a good attitude on the show
