Robot Wars is back.
Discussion
Disappointing specials. They would have been far better if they weren't so heavily stacked in the UK favour.
A number of the foreign robots were actually re-painted bots from last years 'celeb' special, which were built basically by the show's producers anyway, so it was hardly a genuine affair.
Diotoir was actually Kadeena Machina (Kadeena Cox)
Rabid M8 was actually Dee (Rizzle Kicks)
Cathadh was actually arena cleaner (Scott Mills)
Consequently, pretty much all of the fights involving these were pants. Poorly planned specials IMO and potentially may now damage the possibility of another series. Big let down after the great final from S10.

I see Greenpeace guy's latest effort was just as ineffectual as his previous attempt ( the Kegs )
Terror Turtle took part in Robot Wars 7 in 2003 before coming back for the new runs. It hasn't been changed since then.https://youtu.be/4HNMXn45hv8?t=242

Hmmm. Diotor has been in robot wars for years so I hardly think its a 'plant'. Yes, they may have repainted it for a special but that's not to say the producers built it!A number of the foreign robots were actually re-painted bots from last years 'celeb' special, which were built basically by the show's producers anyway, so it was hardly a genuine affair.

I'm sure with some digging you'd find the same point about Rabid M8 & Cathadh.
Are the RoW robots being re-invited for the next season? Might be interesting. I know there's some stigma about the Battlebots (RW doesn't allow sponsorship, whereas I think most Battlebots are sponsored - see F1 budgetary debate thread v.1,567) but let's see where things go.
Also, has this thread had a cull of some posts? I'm sure there was a page 3 before I posted.

And Robot Wars is no more... again. https://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/3028641/...
