Show Summary

  • Ended
You could be forgiven for thinking that the machines you'll see are from outer space or the depths of hell, but they're the wild, weird and wacky creations of skilful roboteers from all around the country. Equipped with the fiercest weaponry and toughest armour, gears will grind and sparks will fly as the robots battle it out in a bid to be the best. They don't just contend with each other, though. Casting a dark cloud over the proceedings are the House Robots. Only the most fearless fighting machines dare to tough it out against these guys... and only a few come out alive. Robot Wars is manufactured mayhem of the highest order!moreless

    Robot fighting, who thought of this I wonder? Me thinks it's absolutely brilliant, and it's so much fun to watch the little metal boxes smash each other to pieces down there on the arena floor! Some may think it is just pointless and waste of time, but it's exactly the opposite! This is a great show, and Craig Charles and Jonathan Pearce makes things even better. but the best person on this show has to be Phillipa Forrester, constantly running around inside the workshop and asking funny questions or giving bad news (fighting Razer anyone? *Tumbleweed rolls by*) to the competing teams.
    Please, someone, bring this show back from the dead!moreless

    I managed to catch an episode of this wonderful show purely by accident. I decided to stay home one Saturday afternoon, and as I was flipping around the channels, I happened across it. The first thing I heard was the voice of the host, Craig Charles, that I immediately recognized from another wonderful show, Red Dwarf. So I watched the show, and it was amazing! It's like...the Americans talk about how it'd be cool to do this or that, and it's usually just talk, Us Brits are getting out into the garage, and actually building this stuff, and finding their way onto international television, as well!moreless

    Robot Wars has always been a classic for me. When it first came out, I was still in primary school, and I remembered Robot Wars was on Friday nights at 19:00. I went to see the World Championships with my dad in London, and I got all the toy robots, the videos and the 2 computer games. My favourite robot was Chaos 2, even though when we saw him at the World Championships, he drove into the pit!!! Going to see it on Sunday this week - a touring version called Roving Robots. Should be great fun and like the show!moreless

  • The lost art of robotic combat.

    This was one of the 1990s shows that brought science fiction and model kit fans' hobbies to life. Its main competition was "Battle Bots." The idea was fairly simple: build robots and duel them against each other. The machines tore each other to bits. The crowd cheered for its favorites just as if this were a wrestling tournament. Yet there were no guarantees. A robot of lesser might, but with a determined pilot, could hack its way to victory and win in an upset. I thought this would have made a dynamite video game. It's off the air now, but at least it lives on in memory.moreless

    Ever since I was just 5 I loved this show. I still do now.
    It amazed me to see how powerful and destructive Machine's could be. Unfortly, Becasue the show moved to Channel Five, It was removed becasue No one knew it had Moved there, And Five said that It wont score many Viewers.
    However, In the UK there is Roaming Robots which Tours around the UK. There are some robots from Robot wars on there, Such as M2, Ripper, Terrorhurtz, Dantomkia, Mute, Big Nipper, Storm II.

    Overall I think robot wars should return, It was great, It scored 6 Million Viwers on BBC2.moreless
