Robot Wars Classics: Behemoth vs. Apollo

[@Koopa126]

I literally shouted with joy when Behemoth finally won the Heat Final. Truly this marked Behemoth's greatest achievement after all this time.

[@tazzmaniandevilboy42]

This battle will be remembered for years to come

[@ArcaneAzmadi]

Truly one of the greatest fights in all of Robot Wars. No hyperbole, I've seen every single episode and that is legit one of THE best fights ever, almost on par with the likes of Chaos 2 vs Wild Thing. Jonathan said "Could be a very, _very_ close battle" and he had no idea how true that really was.

[@HaCKeRPCP007]

To me its kinda awesome that they still work on project Behemoth! After so many failures they haven't dropped the robot and just built a new one - no, they're still improving it until they succeed :) Greetings from Germany

[@Toffeehammer]

Congrats to the Behemoth boys. They really deserve it after all this time.

[@Rexart35]

I like how you added the grand final music :D

'The floor spikes have been mended, thanks very much for taking the money OUT OF MY POCKET FOR THAT!!!'

[@rianrassette8707]

The thing I like about his battle was the driving. On one hand you have a UK Champion driver and on the other with 19 years of experience and both of them never let up. Behemoth's team had seen how Hypno-Disc v.s. Bigger Brother went and knew that there was a chance to win and used that knowledge and still never let up. The best fight driving wise are two control bots with two world class drivers. Spectacular fight and congrats to Behemoth or as I call it Bay Moth

[@forzatoby]

This is genuinely one of my favourite battles in RW history, this NEEDS to be in Top 10/15 Battles of This Series and Your Top 100

[@smithyblue1234]

First episode of Series 10 got off to a good start, enjoyed all of the bouts but this was the fight I was looking forward to seeing Behemoth v Apollo and it didn't disappoint. As much as I love Apollo I was both gobbed smacked and happy to see Behemoth won at last, this should be up as one of the best fights in the show's history.

[@ryanodonovan9497]

Well done Behemoth - they won their Heat for the first time since way back in Series 2. And they defeated a former UK Champion for the first time. Well, in a Robots Live! event in 2012 they actually beat Panic Attack in the latter's first battle coming out of retirement, but that was easy as hell for Behemoth to take out an old machine with a srimech that wasn't working properly.

[@killdozer7792]

I know it's early days, I know there's a whole season yet to go, but this NEEDS to be in your Top 100 battles video.

[@njgw1465]

Oh, it certainly will

[@joshlewis8891]

Honestly this is one of the greatest heat finals in the history of the show. I've seen this battle more then a dozen times and I still can't get over how good it is. It's non stop back and forth action with great moments like Apollo almost throwing Behemoth out and Apollo flipping Behemoth so he rolls over Dead Metal's arms. And it all ends with Behemoth in a mad dash attack throwing Apollo down the pit and winning it's first heat since series 2. Truly incredible.

[@samuelgorse5117]

Finally that Robot performed the way everyone new it could, it look 20 years but it was worth it

[@stuartgibson6357]

Apollo may have been the faster and stronger machine, but Behemoth was smarter. Right after escaping Dead Metal's CPZ, Apollo made a costly error which Behemoth took advantage of without hesitation.

[@Giratina70]

First Robot Wars episode I ever saw was Series 3 Heat B, and if I remember correctly, the first robot I ever saw was Behemoth! Always one of my personal favourites, and so glad they finally broke through after so long!

[@adamh2900]

This is more than just a Robot Wars fight. This right here is proof that losers can win over what were once champions. And that's really inspiring. To see someone go their whole life losing, and then finally getting what they want at long last. Love it.

[@joeneadley3354]

Imagine Craig Charles reaction and announcement. I miss this show

[@Uncircuited]

1:40 Jonathan Pearce speaking gibberish hahaha

[@mattjones3148]

Wow, it really tells how much the lack of music affects the viewing experience....the music adds so much to the tempo of the fight here

[@KimFareseed]

If the music is only in the finals, then it sure makes it something special.

[@so_qp]

Battle of two of best flipping machines , great fight ...

[@c3gfboy7]

This was such a great fight I’m just buzzing for this weeks when the beast is unleashed: carbide has arrived

[@Moakmeister]

Thanks for adding music

[@rmannayr2129]

One of the best Battles, and it's only the first episode!

[@gulden4326]

classic: adjective: "judged over a period of time to be of the highest quality and outstanding of its kind."

[@leoli6116]

One of the best

[@joeneadley3354]

I wished they edited in the music for the battles on the actual show.

[@ItsABeautifulDay.]

"Thanks. Very much. For taking the money. OUT OF MY POCKET FOR THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[@viking_2112]

Best battle of the reboot

[@njgw1465]

If you haven't already, make sure to check out the opening Heat of the new series of Robot Wars on BBC iPlayer - www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b09cbkbk/robot-wars-series-10-episode-1 Episode 2, featuring Carbide, Aftershock, and Eruption, airs this Sunday at 8pm on BBC2.

[@datguy8805]

NJGW well any options for someone in the us?

[@KimFareseed]

Try to get some _motion_ as a _daily_ rutine and you will be able to find it. Then buy the dvd.

[@Keurgui1]

Did Behemoth just win a heat final???

[@umxmarky]

First time on TV for 19 years...........

[@ryanodonovan9497]

Yep, for the first time since its debut way back in the Second Wars.

[@TheLegacyofHitchcock]

I did wonder why I saw a Pig flying by my window earlier that day.... Great stuff, hope Behemoth does well in the Grand Final.

[@williamgreer4087]

Literallt shouted out in joy and excitement when Behemoth pitted Apollo, I can't help rooting for the veterans!

[@notpcfkingston]

This battle reminds me about the time Mini Moth beat Beauty 2 in the RC Combat robot wars!

[@hasan_z]

About the 1min mark when the roboteer says i cant see, shows how poorly designed the contender box is, something that happened in the latest series too, it needs addressing

[@liversupporter11]

Best battle since they brought the series back!

[@forzatoby]

liversupporter11 very close to Eruption vs Aftershock but yeah I’d have to agree

[@adamh2900]

Awesome battle! But two more instant classics were shown this evening! Can we get Carbide vs Gabriel vs Big Nipper as the next RW classic? And then Eruption vs Aftershock vs CNS after that? Thank you!

[@datguy8805]

Yknow behemoth should make more of their body magnesium and add a hardox front scoop. Maybe take some from the side.

[@h.p.7992]

Best bot fight EVER.

[@rmannayr2129]

DID BEHEMOTH JUST WIN?!

[@ItsABeautifulDay.]

LET'S TAKE THE MONEY OFF JONATHAN PEARCE FOR THE FLOOR SPIKES!

[@acnhsasha3085]

Is this the only time a robot flipped another robot into the pit?

[@tylervielie6474]

1:54 Just wait, someone might achieve on doing that.

[@jdc_creations]

I saw behemoth in real life!😄I love behemoth!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@MrPokemonBlack12]

Wanting to see Gabriel 2 as one of the two wild cards in the 10 robot battle

[@adampeckitt2391]

AmiiboCollects Gabriel 2 won't be in the 10 way battle; it's only ones that finished 2nd & 3rd in their heats

[@angelafisher8097]

Someone has to edit this with Cars 3's Victory Lane music.

[@liviustan5438]

1:36

[@Horus_the_Lupercal]

Same guys who made Radioactive...wtf?

[@XCAltoona]

DRIVING

[@VlvrdMlgm]

gotta go with Apollo

[@Flameblade69]

The way he is pronouncing Behemoth makes me cringe every time.
