Robot Wars: Extreme - Armed Forces Special

[@killdozer7792]

The team intros are still the best ever created. All these years and they've yet to be topped.

[@kira-dk2mx]

I know. Oblark came out of a fucking armored carrier! How beast is that?

[@MothDax]

@@kira-dk2mx I believe you mean Mega Hurts

[@Frosty_tha_Snowman]

A helicopter, aircraft carrier, armored mlrs rocket launcher, and a firetruck. I'm sure the fireguys felt a bit impotent by comparison lol, but they're still badasses.

[@kira-dk2mx]

Oh my god, those intros are gold.

[@conordallaway7980]

The police one XD "I'm prepared to go down for dangerous driving" absolute classic XD

[@carribob1992]

Fun fact: The fire service entry was supposed to be Mousetrap (Stan Launchberry being a member of that team with his son Jason). However, Mousetrap couldn't be made ready in time due to it getting mutilated by S3 so they went for Oblark.

[@Cirelgasp]

3:42 *Anvil slides down into his death* 4:15 *Shockwave is in prison* 4:50 *Sub-Version is drowning* 10:24 *Mega-Hurts found dead while showcasing* 11:08 *Rhino go BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR* *insert time where Oblark is* *Oblark missing*

[@robertbolea6442]

Oblark might have been caught in a fire and the fire brigade left it there

[@Cirelgasp]

​@@robertbolea6442 I haven't touched this video in years lmao

[@robertbuckley2429]

If there was a Robot Wars competitor Representing the Ambulance Team, "Panda Medic" would definitely be the one to do so. I also wish Mega-Hurts from the Navy would have a following incarnation to avoid confusion with Mega Hurts from Preston which also competed as Tut's Revenge and Mega Hurts Lap Top called "Giga-Hurts".

[@D3Z112]

The team that had Shockwave also previously competed in past Robot Wars with Flirty Skirty in the second wars and Miss Ile in the third wars.

[@LarixusSnydes]

That spinning bar on Shockwave looked deadly. It's a shame that their driving was not better. Craig Charles is such a charmer and yes Julia looks amazing, but I prefer Philippa sporting that amazing and elegant rubber top.

[@rbear1231]

JP had way too much fun with this one

[@thomasjohnston6492]

Whoa, I don't think I've ever seen this! I thought I'd seen every possible episode of robot wars but fraid not...until tonight!

[@warhawk3972]

Oblark's flipper looked awesome. Would have loved to see it work properly. Also, lol @ the bottom of Oblark saying "Fire Exit"

[@YT-er3zx]

Fun Fact : Sub-Version Was Attemped To Enter The Fifth Wars, But It Was Lost To Corkscrew In Qualifier Battle.

[@D3Z112]

I believe Sub-Version did eventually qualified for the Seventh Wars where they crashed out of their heat.

[@cdname47]

Odd that the navy and army who deal with weapons all day, robots with zero weapons The police and fire service, who have no weapons, come in with the best weapons of the heat ??.?

[@kinagrill]

If it was american, the police robot would have been ALL weapon.

[@gregoryatkin1509]

If Subversion could actually float, that would have been an interesting entrant to techno games! I'm more convinced it was a shell filled with polystyrene or something though, and then credit goes to the diver who went underwater off the coast of Scotland just to let it bounce up for the video. Shame about Shockwave, but that was appalling driving. Anvil was too low for the weapon to hit but Subversion should have been an easy target, and it was never driven that way. One of the first spinning bar weapons I think though, but it would take Vader/IG88 to make them into something feared. Tauron is the one we're supposed to watch out for here in S9 though. Mega Hurts learned from the Forces melee earlier in the series, that's for sure, going for the vulnerable treads - hit the battery instead. Oblark vs Anvil is probably one of my favourite matches from this series, guilty pleasure! That's probably the most photogenic Srimech since Cassius started the whole thing, though Mute out-does it by S7. That must have been ridiculous pressure in there. I also have the suspicion they're the same team who entered Hose-A in Techno Games rope climb - Witney fire brigade both times. People claim the RAF is the 'soft' military force to sign up with, but that gives them time to think carefully about the design of their machines. Anvil and the entire Typhoon Series are well driven, simple and effective machines - that got perhaps just a tad lucky there. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that's the decision made, it was the right one, but since it wasn't taken at other times... again, the rules are just so flexible you begin to wonder if they're even written down.

[@TheTrueBatBrain]

I would say Fluffy was the first really great bar Spinner, who showed up in series 5 (and looks rather similar to Carbide, even with similar weapon weight and speed)

[@5TINKYMX5]

25:31 anyone else notice craig is so short that they have to have him on a box to interview them?

[@51NN312]

Imperial BMX that guy was 6'9" hahaha

[@MACISUS]

The box in question is at 23:58 I believe. Can also see his feet and see how tall the man from the RAF team is.

[@sticklicious9048]

they didn't exactly hide it.

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

He compensates by shouting, all the flipping time

[@legodude494]

Oblark reminds me a lot of X-terminator 2 with that shape but also reminds me of the series 3 version of Vercingetorix with the front lifter/axe combination. It's a shame the police robot went out so early as I think it's one of the best there in terms of weaponry. Rhino was just awesome looking with those tracks, even if it wasn't very effective! Though, they did seem to have a lot of power. If their battery didn't fall out, I reckon they could've easily pushed one of the robots into the pit. I do love the trash talk they all chatted to each other! All the services puns each team were bring to each other was great!

[@octaman_25]

Julia Reed looked amazing in her black leather pants 🔥🔥🔥

[@TinyDrew5]

I'm aware it's been axed, but I think Robot Wars should have another Armed Forces special with six or eight robots of the armed forces of the Army, Navy and Royal Air Force, and the emergency services of Fire, Police and Ambulance. AND they need to create these intros too because I have been hearing they are awesome.

[@faffywaffy8872]

THRUST FROM THE REAR

[@rob_4227]

Little British kids talking shit is my new favorite genre of film.

[@CarlAdams-m7k]

This was also Julia Reeds last appearance on Robot Wars.

[@samuelgiles7571]

Another robot called Shockwave made by Team Shock entered in Series 8. It has no relation to the Shockwave that appeared in this episode.

[@digitaldeathsquid3448]

and what interesting robots both Shockwave (the newer one) and Aftershock turned out to be

[@deadeye_john]

I would love to see BattleBots do an episode like this.

[@Jimjamatic]

4:03, still can't believe that's the Flirty Skirty/Miss Ile team!

[@angetaylor70]

3:35 Woah, careful with the helicopter there Team Anvil, it was a little bit tipsy on the landing.

[@nicholasjones9705]

It would have also been cool to have a Uniformed Public Services special.

[@seanmadridmayfield7440]

lol loved how the crowed didn't know how to react to the hosts introduction.

[@TailsFan369no2]

The fire service gave us what Mortis could have been that year onwards, minus the exterior material

[@FinnMikazuki3]

l can hear dead metal theme tune from UK robot wars

[@Pasotintojas1]

only 6 inches but standing proud :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

[@MrRedeyedJedi]

Giving the robots a pounding

[@evanwilliams6406]

I wish the military and navy had better bots in this one.

[@master3HORSE]

1:25 Thats an interesting visual

[@nokintendo9132]

First episode in which I fell asleep while watching.

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

Julia is smokinnn

[@usptact]

It looks like those military guys have plenty of free time to build those robots. I will report that to their commanders and get them some drill :D

[@DoctorTooploop]

this is a joke, not a single team here has the faintest clue what they're doing

[@midnightstar4066]

I wonder if the refbot has ever ended up getting accidentally pushed into the pit?

[@legodude494]

Oh yeah, people have picked on Refbot. It's been flipped a couple of times and been attacked by competitors, even though it's actually the only 'friendly' house robot. It was designed to prize apart robots suck together, put out any on fire and also stop the house robots attacking competitors when they're not meant to, so it's actually on the side of the competitors, but that didn't stop some having a go!

[@crystalheart9]

Extinguish their hopes :D

[@StFidjnr]

30:14 out he comes

[@alexthehunted]

is the world championship not available

[@randomyoutuber2702]

Sub version's entry was the best one

[@LarixusSnydes]

Not the most effective, but certainly the best looking one. I preferred the emergency services' robots. The one by the fire brigade looked to be the best technical design and the spinning bar on Shockwave looked dangerous. Still, Anvil was the most agile of them, despite lacking any moving weaponry.

[@teentitansfan2011]

Why was Refbot flashing a yellow card while using his fire extinguisher?

[@charliegamage8862]

Coolkid1999 it means fire

[@charliegamage8862]

or a worning

[@Loghanwolfesin]

Sometimes the signals got mixed up, since in the days they used 40MHz transmitters which got interference a lot of the time

[@marzcowboyofuranus3937]

The announcer Omg, hahahaha

[@shimmy1177]

Why wasn't typhoon in thi-oh, they wanted to make it an entire episode,not just 1 minute filler(which is what it should have been).Still it's robot wars,so I watch nevertheless.

[@MrRedeyedJedi]

Lmao this was painful to watch, but all good fun

[@badwolf66]

Robots n Smack Talk, what could go wrong? :P

[@DoctorTooploop]

the fire brigade isn't an armed force... by their logic the NHS should be there to

[@nicholasjones9705]

Why did they not include the ambulance service? They're important too you know.

[@johnwheels89]

Nicholas Jones they added firefighters tho ..odd

[@weblure]

Ambulance services belong to several different groups: You have the police and fire service's ambulances, and then you have hospital-owned ambulances, which belong to different companies and aren't a direct part of government services. So technically, ambulance services were included, as they're a sub-division of fire and police services. Then again, I live in the US. It might be different there.

[@Indoor_Carrot]

In the UK we have a government national medical service called the National Health Service (NHS) which has it's own ambulance fleets

[@benhopwood5321]

Because the nhs ambulance service isn't a force, it's a service

[@Indoor_Carrot]

Still would have been fun to see an ambulance-looking robot :)

[@johnwheels89]

The army bot rhino was a terrible design

[@samuelgiles7571]

Armyboy89 another robot called Rhino built by a different team entered in Series 7. It has no relation to the Rhino that competed in this episode

[@psychicscubadiver]

I think it's literally an old bomb disposal robot that they slapped a little soldier on the top. It doesn't look like it was built for combat at all.

[@siliquaesid703]

Sir Killalot is a bomb disposal unit which was converted and that works.

[@warhawk3972]

I quite like the idea of a tough and powerful bot with great pushing power and the scoop to push with, but the execution wasn't great this time around

[@evanwilliams6406]

Terrible design, but it was a good looking robot.

[@jankarsch4935]

In my opinion these are the least exciting fights i have ever seen on something Robot Wars related

[@charlesharper2357]

Crappy bots...

REME forgot the road wheels on the tank and the guts dropped out of it...... typical. The weapon was utterly crap, a dozer blade...lol! You boys have the imagination of a caravan site.

[@TheJetsetter]

Compared to S8 and above these bots are weak AF.

[@MothDax]

No shit

[@habibistking8652]

Geil😂 hhhhhhh

[@siliquaesid703]

I'm surprised the police robot didn't use it's "Assaulting a police officer, your ALL under arrest, I WIN" card, because that is what they do to the public they are SUPPOSED to protect (AS IF). Bully, lie abuse and assault people then claim it was THEM who were set upon and get away with it EVERY time. GLAD they lost.

[@nigelprosser5692]

Fair play , this was absolutely shit ,,,😆
