Well, some won't remember or have ever seen these shows but I think they where awesome and they deserve a topic :)
My favorite moments;

Cause it was a total surprise !

First ever hypnodisc apearence, put an end to fiberglass shells (hypnodisc didn't have a serimech yet :) )
The sound of the disc reving up is truly Epic to me !

First ever out of the arena !!

Cause razor is a frekin' awesome looking robot !

Yeah I loved that show. Takes a lot of skill to make such robots, only to see them get busted, haha.

I watched both the UK and US versions. My favorite was Ziggo from the US.

Never realy watched the US version....way to americany.
But that ziggo looks awesome though :shock:

And yeah Sam I agree, dead metal is very well constructed and an awesome blade !

I'm still looking for the clip of the UK version where robots had to push shunt of of a round elevated arena. The clip shows that shunt loses (normaly he always won) cause an other robot got wedged underneath shunt....that was fun :)
