  • Robot Wars - The "Legends" Special

    Hey....isn't this a surprise?

    Heaven knows how I found my way back here. I probably wouldn't have returned, except I recently had an interesting idea, based on another TV gameshow I enjoy watching.

    The thing is, I feel like writing again. The problem is, everything I end up doing with vapourbots doesn't go well....and really, this time I am determined to do this...the last retirement special, I had little motivation.

    ROBOT WARS - THE LEGENDS SPECIAL

    The rules are simple. What I'd like is for 8 people to enter eight robots. But there are a few rules.

    1 - The robots must have competed in the UK series at some point. (So C.V., for example, is a no-no)
    2 - They must have a form beyond the new weight limit. (So Comengetorix would be allowed, but not Milly-Ann Bug)
    3 - The most important rule of all....NO Semi-Finalists up. All the robots must have lost in their heats and never progressed past them in any form (so, for example, no picking Gemini, because Mace got through to the semi finals)

    I can't admit to having a preference as to what sort of robots are picked. As a recommendation...
    -Maybe robots that had bad misfortune in the UK competition.
    -Some of the more notable robots....I.E. the funny ones.
    -Whilst there is nothing to stop you guys entering side tournament winners (Diotoir, Kan Opener, etc)....try to keep them to a minimum.



    And that's about it. Sorry it's not a vapourbot tournie, but....well, I wanna see how it goes.

      Stress the rules again....eight robots each, and they have to have been in RW. So whilst I can't use Hellbent 2, I can use the original. ^^

        Guess who else is back? Just for this, though.

        Chris, I really do hope this goes well for you. With the long summer holidays ahead, I think I have plenty of time to do something here.

        Corkscrew II
        Roobarb
        SMIDSY
        Araknia
        Kat III
        Tetanus Booster
        Iron Awe 2.1
        Thor

        As far as I know, none of them have progressed beyond the Heat Final. Really hope it goes well, Chris. Just a few questions?

        How does the format go? (I guess with 64 robots, the format will be eight heats similar the S6/S7 structure)

        Are there any special events?

        Good luck

            Rob - Sorry, only Hellbent would be valid. The other 7 never had an Extreme 1+ form.

            Enee - To answer your questions...

            1 - Yeah, pretty much.
            2 - This is a special event of sorts.

                Don't want to sound picky, because I am, but:

                Hefty, Anorakaphobia and Agent Orange were within the original weight limit for Robot Wars (80kg), and I think Chris said only robots after the new 100kg limit were allowed.

                Just saying

                    They work...if it's OK, I'll be using the UK robots. It's just neither Slicer or Das Gepack were in the main UK competition, s'all. ^^

                          That's fine, thank you.

                          So, so far....

                          1 - Corkscrew 2
                          2 - Roobarb
                          3 - S.M.I.D.S.Y.
                          4 - Araknia
                          5 - Kat 3
                          6 - Tetanus Booster
                          7 - Iron Awe 2.1
                          8 - Thor
                          9 - Tomohawk
                          10 - IG-88
                          11 - Hydra
                          12 - General Carnage 2
                          13 - Trax
                          14 - Robochicken
                          15 - Lightning
                          16 - Wolverine
                          17 - Big Nipper
                          18 - Fluffy
                          19 - The Steel Avenger
                          20 - 259
                          21 - Diotoir
                          22 - Crushtacean
                          23 - The Alien
                          24 - Revenge of Trouble & Strife

                          Good work so far. Let's see if we can keep this up. And don't be afraid to pick some of the less successful robots, those that never won a battle, and so on. ^^

                          Helloher - 5 of those are fine, but G.B.H. 2 must be excluded because the original G.B.H. was a semi-finalist, and Trax has already been chosen. Tsunami, I'm unsure about because of its success rate in the German competition...we could include it, possibly.

                            In that case...

                            How about:

                            1. Infernal Contraption
                            2. Tsunami
                            3. Cedric Slammer
                            4. Reptirron the Second
                            5. Hard
                            6. Gyrobot
                            7. Ripper
                            8. Zorro

                            And if Tsunami isn't allowed, then Mega Hurts

                              Cedric Slammer and Zorro will do nicely. I'll have a think about Tsunami.
