[@alexcasares7401]

2:29 Thermidor 2 did something that Chaos 2 couldn't do and that's to flip Stinger out of the arena.

[@legodude494]

I think a large part of that is the width of the flipper. Chaos 2 has a wide flipper, which is great for easily getting under a robot with little trouble, but Stinger has those two big wheels and a pretty narrow gap between them. Chaos 2's wide flipper is just wide enough to be able to get under without catching the wheels. Thermidor 2, however, has a pretty narrow flipper, allowing it to get to the body between Stinger's wheels, letting them flip Stinger out rather more successfully

[@warhawk3972]

One Hit KO's, and/or the shortest fights in Robot Wars!

[@Jb33124]

I remember a VERY old video. Very much like this one, being an OOTA compilation. Jonathan Pierce said "That's come down with snow on it!", Then the video cut to a black screen which said "really Jonathan?" And then cut to a group dancing. This is very, Very old, so if anyone can find it is be absolutely shocked

[@ichompyouchompgarchomp6416]

Wow after keeping a OOTA Count of every robot in this and you don't count House Robots (as obviously Killalot has most OOTA's) the actually participating in the Wars robot with most OOTA's is Dantomkia at 9, I actually never realized that before!

[@ukdnbmarsh]

Chaos 2 superb robot and a masterful controller

[@cloudtx]

Spinners seem to be the ultimate bot weapon but when flippers work, they simply steal the show from everyone else.

[@Lumakid100]

Sounds about right. (For the UK.)

[@shinydavidhowell]

They're also less dangerous than spinners whilst still being impressive, which is why they were the absolute foundation of the touring arena shows.

[@cloudtx]

@@shinydavidhowell Touring arena shows? I'm not familiar with that.

[@TaleOfTheToaster]

Sterling job! Extended commentary, all clips included, correct aspect ratios, perfect work - I was commentating all of the preboot UK flips as I was watching them, and hearing the surrounding commentary as I went!

[@olivertunnah3987]

I don't think you could ever top the flipper throwing one out of the arena and another into the pit at the same time.

[@lee2thea863]

Oh my God. I was like just like Johnathan Pearce when that happened. I could not stop laughing! The featherweight are so much fun!

[@badwolf66]

what are the odds of that ever happening again?

[@gengarisnotinsmash...]

I have never been sure how I feel about the Chaos 2 vs Firestorm fight. On one hand, it established the main tactic for flippers from that point forward. If this battle had never happened, the spinners would have taken over much earlier as more bots were able to self right. On the other hand, Firestorm was an amazing bot, and did not deserve to be the first bot to be flipped out of the arena.

[@BadwolfGamer]

Chaos 2 was like a fixed point in time for UK Robot Combat.

[@TequilaToothpick]

Surely being the first robot out is kind of an honour?

[@Nobody-xe9fc]

It all came down to just how good a driver Chaos 2 had. Similar to Razer and Pussycat both having among the best drivers in the whole of Robot Wars.

[@Nobody-xe9fc]

@Pope Leo X Exactly. Good drivers are what make good bots.

[@adamh2900]

Thanks, this looks good. The amazing thing about Robot Wars is that just when you think you know everything about it, you will still come across some battle you haven't seen or some obscure robot you haven't heard of!

[@jacobwigley]

Adam H it’s more of a league than battle bots I’d say, I’m not saying it better, but there’s more to discover for sure

[@shinydavidhowell]

@@jacobwigley I'd actually argue the later classic years of Robot Wars were the best years of any robot combat on a rounded level. There were multiple types of machine that thrived (spinners, flippers, Razer was arguably off-meta but it won one series and should have had another), and there were plenty of more amateur hobbyist roboteers who came in with all sorts of designs from the silly to the solid. And the storylines were embraced and done very well, IMO the Extreme series helped out for this even though they were basically exhibition fights. Battlebots is a succession of big-money beast machines, and I find it less enjoyable as a show whilst also seeing it as the top level of roboteering. In fact, my biggest problem with the Robot Wars revival was that it just felt like a Battlebots second division at times, as the balance tipped far enough towards well-funded professionalism to lose some charm.

No, Sergeant Bash wasn't flipped out in the Flipper Frenzy. Chaos 2, Bigger Brother and Thermidor 2 (Wheely Big Cheese was already immobilised down the other end of the arena) tried, but they couldn't use a combined attack from the right angle. Still, Bash's flamethrower did get all but broken off upon hitting the top of the wall, to the point it was hanging by a thread.

Seeing both the older UK series and the more recent BBC reboot really does highlight just how wrong they got it (in my opinion) when they brought it back. No atmosphere whatsoever compared to the original. I think they should have just rebuilt the original arena, used the same lighting cues, intense metal/jungle/breakbeat music throughout and also brought back Craig Charles.

[@joeperryfan666]

They were, they just weren't insanely meta like they are now, Hypno Disk was arguably the best spinner bot during the early series, both UK & US, but they didn't have the success that Firestorm & Chaos 2 did Now you have bots like Carbide that show just how devastating the spinners have become But back in the early wars, they weren't as powerful, even Chaos 2 & Wheely Big Cheese compared to modern bots seems anemic. Flippers were the best, and make up 3 of my top 5 favourite bots, Chaos 2, Firestorm, and Behemoth

[@therunawaykid6523]

Vertical spinners seem to be the most destructive weapons at least in battlebots now, especially endgame
