[@Votesaxon07Reviews]

Man I love Anarchy, what an awesome walker. Great to see how the skills roboteers develop on Techno Games such as with Scuttle B2 can be applied to Robot Wars.

[@katytinder9297]

Well, walking robots are two times heavier like Anarchy however my mega all-time #1 favorite robot from Series 6 is Tornado because of the interchangeable weapons to pick out to battle against other robots.

[@esunsalmista]

It’s such a cool concept to go heavy with functional weapons. Unfortunately it can easily be beaten by the kind of robot that depends entirely on brute force and activity so it got paired against the worst possible opposition. Would have been fun to see them in the semis.

[@LarixusSnydes]

@@katytinder9297 Yes, that makes them incredibly versatile. I don't know why they have never won any design awards. I do love Anarchy's design as well. Brave and adventurous of the engineers on that team. This is much more than simple iteration.

[@PokeGuy6]

I do respect the work that went into Anarchy, Mike Franklin made a fantastic machine, one of, if not THE most successful walking robot in RW alongside Clawed Hopper. Fantastic engineering thats gone into it and two pretty powerful weapons. Shame it lost to Tornado but it was a great robot. Also a shame they couldn't return for the reboot because of the walker weight being reduced. thats so unfair imo.

I do miss the classic and iconic look of 101 with the hazard stripes on the side and I really wish that there were some references to 101 on the new robot like hazard stripes or having it's name also be a number but I must say that Anarchy was a really good robot and it's really awesome to see a walker robot that is actually a real threat and that put up a really good fight against Tornado

What the hell was Tornado thinking? Inshredible was this close of being counted out, but they put Terror-bull in the pit.

[@killdozer7792]

The answer is actually quite simple - they thought Inshredable was immobilised and pitted Terror-Bull to finish off, as was often common in multi-bot battles. Basically, they eliminated Terror-Bull by complete accident.

[@cdname47]

Razer gets a lot of shit from fans for being boring but at least it damages and has a bit of show about it tornado can do nothing to thor but gradually push it to the sides which isn't exactly spectacular. the 2nd melee was pretty stacked, i was impressed about how much punishment judge shred could take and still keep going, but aside from that it was pretty one sided with only anarchy left to keep up the interest. if anarchy had beaten tornado it would've been one of the biggest upsets since...well diotoir last year, but in reality there was only one way this heat was going to go

[@TheRoboteer]

Sure if you ignore the side panel of Thor that got ripped off, or the pincers getting completely mangled, or the hammer very clearly being broken mid way through the fight

[@cdname47]

TheRoboteer not spectacular though is it....

[@TheRoboteer]

More spectacular than Razer I'd argue. Razer does damage by slowly lowering its claw through the top of its opponent Tornado does damage by clattering into its opponent at 10MPH with a flywheel running. I know which I'd rather watch ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@nothing6036]

I mean personally I’d rather see a robot get crumpled under razors beak but overall they both have similar tactics: Razer- keep penetrating, tornado- keep ramming. Also as soon as I saw this comment talking about tornado and razer I knew you’d be here @theroboteer I read maaaaaany of the comments on series 5

[@Sh0tgunJust1ce]

Anarchy gets overrated by a lot of fans. It didn't really perform that well in the opening melee, and beat up a virtually dead Inshredable. It did OK against Tornado, but got outdriven, which I think was more a fault of the robot itself than Mike Franklin. It's the best walker on Robot Wars, unless you count Drillzilla, but that's not really saying much considering the rest of the walkers you have.

[@joeandrews7329]

Amy's brother was Jack.

[@cr10001]

Tornado. Hardly needs weapons, the robot is the weapon. Manouvrable, quick, able to run upside down and out-push most bots. What's this nonsense in its profile about 'unreliable'? Inshredable, Terrorbull and Edgehog look like they could be okay robots, don't know till we see them in action. Well, none of them are useless, but Tornado (which looks almost tiny alongside the other three) promptly starts pushing them all around the arena, sometimes two at once... and pits Terrorbull. I don't think Tornado's spinning drum did anything much - didn't need to. This incarnation of Thor looks very unlike later ones. Bright red and has a powerful axe, so that's in common. Revolution 2 has a fearsome-looking weapon, but it also looks very flimsy - would savage a weakly-armoured bot but... Judge Shred 2 1/2 doesn't look like a shredder, more like a flipper, I think it's changed from previous incarnations. And Anarchy, for a walker, looks surprisingly fast and manouvrable, and of course it has the weight. Who knows who's going to win this one, they all look quite well-matched. Anarchy has a good flipper, but Shred has a good srimech. Anarchy and Thor - I think the judges got it right. Tornado vs Thor - why did Philippa call Thor a 'novelty robot', that axe is not 'novelty'. (And Tornado were a little worried they might get Anarchy - interesting). A good tussle between Thor and Tornado (and what the HELL was Growler doing out of its corner? In fact what the hell were Growler and Bash up to? Too damn trigger-happy. As a Tornado fan I'm pissed off they interfered, Tornado was quite capable of winning this by itself without house thugbots messing things up. But Thor lasted remarkably well. Anarchy vs Inshredable - well, Anarchy obviously if it doesn't break down. Well, Inshredable appears to be the one in danger of breaking down, allowing Anarchy to waddle up to it and use its powerful flipper - multiple times. In between Growler and Bash making a gratuitous pest of themselves. Anarchy vs Tornado. Tornado has the speed and the push - but Anarchy is double weight, so very hard to push. Anarchy has the axe and the powerful flipper - but Tornado is tough and can run either way up. Anarchy is flippable but Tornado doesn't have a flipper. So they should be quite resistant to each other's attacks. Why is JP going on about Anarchy 'needing to flip Tornado' when that doesn't work on Tornado? Well, Tornado proved itself able to push Anarchy around - that's impressive - and Anarchy got in several good flips but Tornado just keeps on running. Pretty definitely Tornado's fight, credit to Anarchy it kept on running.

This particular episode was a mixture of Christmas, other videos taking priority - such as a particularly complicated version of the History Podcast, and my own version of this episode corrupting. I needed Blooper Sphoof's copy, then I needed to upload the raw file to KZbin to download it and make it a file compatible with Sony Vegas, and then I had to go through the standard editing procedure after that. It was a bit of a mess to say the least, haha.

Well, it doesn't have obvious or destructive weapons, but it still is very good build. It's very fast, agile, has strong motors and basically never get immobilized. In terms of entertaining, it is pretty boring and I'm more of fan of destruction and carnage. And I don't like the fact that one of it's strategies is trying to push opponents into the pit to "win." But in the other hand, I admire how well it's build.
