  • Looking Fantastic

    Other than I dont remember us competing for a top prize of £20,000 the new show is looking good from what Ive seen up to the first ad break !

    Even a nice shot of Storm II being worked on at the start

    We managed to get into that little intro section very briefly 3 times

    The specials bit explains what theyre doing with all the extra fights it seems anyway..

    Well done Paul by the way.. couldnt have had a better first appearance for M2 really..

        Sam,

        I think many of us were looking out for ourselves in the into. Seem to count two snippets of IG-88.

        Was the £20,000 a slip or are we in for bigger cheques ? Maybe £25 becomes £35 !!!!!!

        Thought the format looked ok, nice lot of action, damage, arena exits etc.. can see why E became A !!!

          No i cant work out the moving heats around bit either.

          I think the 20grand he is refering to is the whole prize fund what he forgot to mention

            Its a bit of a con that 20 thou thing, I heard it mentioned at least once as the top prize of £20,000... little bit of misrepresentation if you ask me..

            Would be alright if we actually had a chance of winning that sort of money!

                I dunno what happenned with the whole £20,000 thing. It started off as a prize fund, but halfway through one of the fights it definitley turned into the £20,000 top prize !

                I hope it was just a JP mistake, and not Mentorn trying to mislead the public !

                  I wonder how many people having just seen the show are thinking of clearing their garage out and building something for next year in the hope of winning £20K.

                  Think you€™re correct Chris, total prize fund, much the pity !!!

                  Must say the addition of a non heat related battle was reminiscent of the old pinball thingy. Thought Nova looked a little over powered, almost throwing itself out of the arena ( well into the barrier anyway!! ) Looking forward to heat I Show 9 or is it 4 or maybe 6 ?????

                  Having just watched the recording again if all the shows are as entertaining as this I think 5 will be on a winner.

                      Youve changed your tune, John! Great show, very entertaining.

                      Supernovas fight made me wince a bit though, the sparks in their opponent looked expensive.

                        i did feel sorry for supernovas opponent, i know there was a no mercy clause by the HR but they went far too far IMO.

                        well done to all the competitors, this was a very interesting heat and wets the appitite for the rest of the series..........shame i have to wait till Feb!!!!!

                        o and one last thing, why didnt they replace JP? he really got annoying when he kept saying where did that come from? when it was obvious which robot a panel or weapon had come off. i say get some roboteers to do the comentary!

                          Mechaniac did prove that hardox/Creusabro makes good armour.
                          Only the mounting to the frame, and the frame itself wasnt up to the hits from Supernova.
                          And Balen wasnt happy with the results, as the teeth on the disk did suffer from the contact.

                          A funfactor, the frame from Mechaniac was left in the pits, the electronics, and batteries in the bin, but the armourplate is back in Austria.

                            Battery and electronics damage all courtesy of our friend Killalot..
                            Remind me not to drop dead in the arena at any point.. its seriously bad for your wallet! :sad:

                            Was that the robot that Supernova sheared one of his teeth off against then? I didnt realise that...
