[@Michael-wm3bk]

Behold, an unthinkable future: You spend every second of your spare time, energy, and income developing, building, and testing your precious little murder bot. Your opponent enters the arena. It's an armored ogre with a giant scythe on a hydraulic press. The match starts, and this great beast charges forward at lightning speed, instantly puncturing the sensitive electronics and fuel supplies, cutting through your metal baby's armor like paper. It releases your bot and backs off. You get to work testing out your systems and hoping maybe one of your built in redundancies will get you operational again. You just hope the demon scythe will assume you're finished and leave you alone long enough to get moving again. You glance up and your opponent seems to be picking a fight with the house enforcer bots, specifically designed to completely out-class the competition fighters. Good, that should buy you some time. Best case your opponent gets himself damaged or killed. You look up again a few seconds later. The house bot is in flames. The demon scythe has now locked its gaze on your creation. Not because it was a threat. But because it was left.

@@nfsfanAndrew Hypnodisc's biggest weakness was the exposed wheels. If only the had a sheet to cover them, then they would've won. Pussycat always lost points on control and the Hypnodisc crew always cared more for the self-righting element since they lost the final to Chaos 2.

[@mclew1234]

Hypnodisc would have won easily, the 1 danger Razer always had was a horizontal spinner, Hypnodisc would have been able to ride the front scoop (similar to how they did stealth) into the connective joint of the beak probably snapping it in 2. The only way Razer would win would be to get a grip on the disc before it spun up to speed, which would be incredibly unlikely

[@TheGrimmCommoner]

@@mclew1234 Are you expecting something similar to what happened to Ming 3 or more devastating?

[@mclew1234]

@@TheGrimmCommoner Probably worse, they went after the wheels on Ming if i remember right. Tbh I doubt the side of Razor would hold up to the disc anyway but the front slope of Razor is much shallower making it more possible to drive up & there is no way the beak would hold up if it was hit even remotely by a horizontal spinner. I think that was part of the reason why in the reboot they basically just drove it straight in to the pit, they were there for nostalgia but as all the modern robots are horizontal spinners & would just cut the beak in half

Absolute destruction was never the purpose of the House Robots. They were a minor hazard to be avoided, not something to upstage the competitors. If anything, their role was more to ensure safety in the arena by pitting or manoeuvring trapped, dangerous or out-of-control robots.

[@decimation9780]

@GD Magic Gaming Not quite, you put too much stress if it’s a vertical spinner. Chain is much more likely to snap when it gets stuck as the motor can put undue stress on the chain, and with four wheels, if you lose a front wheel, your steering goes to shit and you have much less traction. A horizontal, two wheeled spinner is generally a lot deadlier, and allows for more work to be put on the weapon than the wheels. A vertical spinner is just a different looking flipper tat the end of the day. Carbide and Tombstone were lauded as some of the most powerful, If not *the* most powerful spinner bots to be created. They can slam their opponents away with a good shot while doing major damage to the armour, because even a glancing blow could do some major internal damage.

I still remember this thing after like 20 years. Impressive bot.

[@usagifang]

Matilda: I fear no man. But that thing.... Razor: ..... Matilda: that thing scares me.

[@RoadRunnerMeep]

Chaos 2 was such an awesome machine. George Francis I believe. Razer though, hands odwn the legend of robot wars

[@WickedPhase]

Robochicken is my favorite robot design of all time, it's hilarious!

[@Emily-bk7ic]

Omg wow! My dad was the team captain!

[@LUITESLIFE]

Used to love this show as a kid. Razer and Hypnodisc were my favourites. Design wise Razer was just beautiful imo.

[@TheRookiecop1]

I love how Razer pretty much gave chaos 2 to killbot as a sacrafical tribute.

[@rexex345]

Is it really a tribute when we later see it making the house robots fear it? That wasn't a tribute, it was a kind gift from the true king

[@Masternecron247]

Chaos 2: "I am the greatest champion of Robot Wars! My CO2 powered flipper are unparalleled! Razer: "Me and my beak are about to end this man's whole career."

[@pyromaniac12345]

Razer:Hi. Matilda:*sweats nervously

[@ianbeel4887]

Both Razor and Hypnodisc were utter machines. You gotta be a madman to wake up one day and get the idea to build a champion murderbot.

[@DGneoseeker1]

And then we have Carbide the arena destroyer...

[@Lysimachus]

The greatest robot ever made. It even looks sexy.

[@shadesparrow1604]

Matilda got in between Razor and his kill then suffered the consequences

[@zack9697]

Razor when he win: T-pose

[@tomorowsnobodys]

You know you're a legend when you beat chaos 2 in under a minute

[@jasmijnariel]

The house robots are always stunning machines! Great builds 🥰

[@Tentin.Quarantino]

Razer even has a win pose and can bow. True showmanship.

[@cluck2win]

why has milly-ann bug got the 2nd ss panzer division emblem on the side ? 9:31

[@iliasads3817]

wtf indeed

[@yeetissheetsfoot60]

The worst tank ever

[@Chris173972]

The 4 best robots: Carbide, Razor, Hypodisk, Chaos 2...

[@ss11111ss]

hypnodisk was insane

[@SleepLessThan3]

Where's tombstone at though :(

[@garethjones4433]

pussycat aswell

[@demarkussimon9202]

Throw firestorm in there to.

[@ryanodonovan9497]

@@SleepLessThan3 BattleBots, not Robot Wars. But I do think Chris should've specified his four picks as Robot Wars' four best combatants to make it clear that he was only referring to that show. Personally, I'd describe Chaos 2, Hypno-Disc, Razer and Carbide as the Mount Rushmore of Robot Wars.

[@user-yu9pg1lo1u]

I really want to see more unique designs like this that are actually able to destroy a house robot. Thoroughly entertaining.

[@jaimy_games]

The commentary is just absolutely awesome. So much appreciation for all the carnage.

[@beemail6983]

Robot wars is criminally under rated

[@fatemakhan3843]

Tbt when i was a kid, i used to watch this show, & yes Razor was my favorite of them all, not just because it's cool design & but the name is was also Familiar to the Razor from SWAT Cats, which is also all time favorite.

[@Dondolini94]

Such sweet memories... this has been my all time favourite robot in the show history! Thought nowadays bots are getting incredible. This back in this time you had things like big wheelie cheese that can launch your bot out of stage, it was extremized to do so. Now you have the same lifting power in much better armored, smaller package. I'd say total control is the spiritual successor to razer.

[@puddle.drinker]

House bot: *picks up Razor and put it down* Razor: _and I took that personally, your friends shall die._

[@Chris173972]

I loved the battles when the house robots would get picked on by the favourites... Fun to watch and you knew the revenge was going to happen.

[@JorvikBerserkir]

I used to own the Robot Wars arena and a bunch of the robots when I was a kid. Sadly I lost everything. I still have a Growler RC though

[@Sac_slappper_4rce]

Takes one hell of a machine to make Chaos 2 looking like a useless lunchbox.

[@KyleTheDamnDude100]

battlebots: start a countdown when a robot isnt moving robot wars: keep demolishing your opponent to death until you throw him in the pit

[@FandomChronicle]

Crushing force of a powerful weapon Great winged blades for swift recovery when flipped Great sloped design for greater catching Large ego befitting a killer, capable of taking on the house bosses A great fighter, Razer 16:18

[@therobomega]

11:20 "VS Matilda ft. Onslaught" - I see what you did there.🤣
