Robot Wars Series 4 Heat I

[@masterchief1992HHQ]

Very good heat for splinter, but then the next fight happened

[@joeandrews7329]

Hypno-Disc totally destroyed Splinter.

[@masterchief1992HHQ]

@@joeandrews7329I wish it was mousetrap who got the match up with Hypno disc

[@killdozer7792]

Eric clearly won that fight at the end of the day, because it now doesn't need to fight Hypno-Disc.

[@kinagrill]

True that.

[@Surv1vor1993]

Destruct-A-Bubble has to be in contention for the most derpy looking robot of all time Also, I loved Killerhurtz back in the day because of the axe

[@eklypse21]

You have to admire the comic genious behind Destructabubble

[@karlrudd8914]

I remembered it and to me it was hardly a blip on the radar

[@rhysbroome-owen5152]

Wow really impressed with Splinter. I hope they went on to do really well 🙈

[@johnwhitten2441]

I love how Killerhurtz had his Battlebots victory pogs on their robot for Robot Wars

[@ISSTI371]

2 fun facts: John Reid's brother is Anthony Reid, a former (at the time of filming, current) racing driver in the Brtish Touring Car Championship. Martin Sloss' son Daniel is a comedian who has made many TV appearances across the world. Bonus fact: The team captain of Killertron, Richard Broad, has a son called Chris that runs the popular KZbin channel Abroad in Japan.

[@danielfennessey]

I wonder if Eric had the last laugh though...

[@tufty1990]

I thought Distruct a bubble would be easily toppled but that's really clever if the weight at the bottom to pull it back onto its wheel idea worked in practice.

[@MrBv256]

Killerhurtz had lost all 4 of its Robot Wars battles before this yet was still ranked 16th assumingly due to Battlebots reputation.

[@ETXellen]

It's participation in the first world championship is also a factor in it's seeding.

[@MrBv256]

Where it lost in its first battle.

[@TheLegacyofHitchcock]

In the original list for the Series 4 seeds, Killerhurtz was ranked 18. Once Blade (14th) and Trident (16th) pulled out of the series however, Bigger Brother and those below were bumped up a notch and Killerhurtz became a Heat favourite. Battlebots success wasn't the only reason for Killerhurtz being ranked so high; it was going to be fed to Hypno-Disc.

[@sp0nge1337]

And to think John Reid is still building and fighting robots. He's the captain of Beta in BattleBots.

[@joeandrews7329]

THE ERICKONING

[@Havokbots]

40:51 wriggly little what now?

[@Threadoflength]

A lot of people would say that Behemoth was the unluckiest robot in RWs but i think Killerhurtz gives it a run for it's money. So much wasted potential. Terrorhurtz wasn't that much better off either.

[@Tmccreight25Gaming]

Threadoflength Terrorhurtz was a Grand Finalist in Series 6, an all star competitor and a double FRA U.K. champion during Robot Wars’ hiatus. So it did alright!

[@NickNackItaliano777]

I'd say the same for Hypnodisc tbh because although they always got far, they always came up short in the end which always left me feeling gutted since that was my favourite robot :/

[@brianlee5221]

[@evanwilliams6406]

I remember Destructibubble for its appearance but not its performance. It looked like an onion with wheels.

[@karlrudd8914]

The best onion on wheels

[@rbear1231]

after watching series 8, 9, and 10 it is weird to see him without a beard

[@burzaburza2970]

All Torque > Small Torque

[@scorpiothk307]

@Pope Leo X I wouldn't call Small Torque's spinner entirely useless - it did have tiny-ass teeth but if you look at 15:20 you can see it tossing Splinter up a good deal, and about 10 seconds later you can see a decent gash on Splinter's side, so it had some power behind it.

[@111111hakar]

Was the aspect ratio for this changed at some point? Ray Tait looked odd in that pit segment.

Lol the robots in this heat, were the worse half of them broke down and the over half just rammed each other this isn't séries 1 anymore guys !

*stares at Tornado* Ye, go back to Series 1 Tornado!

[@unapologeticallylizzy]

Okay, but... why was Centurion seeded?

[@BambiTrout]

Cassius II and another seeded robot that I can't remember off the top of my head dropped out so Centurion and Suicidal Tendencies were seeded in their place as the next robots down the pecking order.

[@rodgienroycastillo2871]

A lot more have done this in the other series, the one I remember the most was Mighty Mouse and another team (can’t remember exactly) had the same person on both teams.

[@netkat7486]

it was often tech types would be on multiple teams. The community was all pretty Ok with it as several teams wouldn't have ever managed to compete without the additional knowhow

[@esunsalmista]

Eric may not be the worst robot ever, but it’s in the running for the worst steering. So many opportunities wasted by terrible driving.

[@burzaburza2970]

Killerhurtz seeded 15 is a joke, they have worst driver next to Napalm

[@killdozer7792]

16th. Also, BattleBots. The pit thing was an honest mistake.
