Okay, I know Tornado's fight with Razor was controversial with it's rather large support beams to hold that spinner, but you can't deny that fight was absolutely awesome. The champion was beaten and bashed for a lot of the battle, the beams technically defending its innards, Dead Metal ripping pieces out of Razor's wings, and Razor desperately hoisting the Tornado off the ground and then... That despair when the beams are observed to be the first APD. This battle actually has me thrilled.

[@Cykelpump33]

Tornado might have gotten a sour reputation after this series, but hey atleast they're not Ian Lewis who refused to acknowledge his own mistakes lol. This robot pretty much refined the ram robot. Not since Roadblock there was a robot that was powerful because of pure power. Tornado versus Gemini is probably the greatest example on how powerful Tornado is.

[@justandy333]

Tornado was one of my favourites. Its just relentless. Pretty fast, good traction, invertible and some very good driving to boot. Especially loved that fight with Hypnodisc. It just didn't give it a chance to spin up that disc, so nullified it main weapon. Just keeps the pressure on, constantly ramming, getting underneath and shoving it around the arena and slamming it into the walls and house robots. Far more aggressive driving! Just a great combination.

[@biowepcosmic]

Tornado has always been a favorite of mine. Just basic looking but always seems to pull through.

[@tombardsley3081]

As much as I wasn't a fan of tornado's weapon to win the final match, they had some really impressive fights and some excellent driving. The match vs Hypno disc always sticks out because of how they were able to neutralise Hypno disc so easily and barely taking any damage from it's weapon. Also was such a good fight vs Dominator which could have gone so wrong had they landed just a few inches to the right off Matilda's hit!

[@datguy8805]

Tom Bardsley fun fact, razer couldve won, if it had let tornado stay over the pit

[@ChorleyCakez]

Let be honest, if you'd been trashed by Razer on previous occasions you'd put something in place to stop it getting at you if it was legal. As a 12 year old at the time though I was raging at it!

[@TerminatorZXY]

As far as it being something to counter Razer goes yeah, that's fine. But I think it went too far because it also couldn't get into the pit. Should have been disqualified for that, or had the victory given to Razor.

[@TSNxgget]

I know people hated the cage, but they followed the rules, they just used it to their advantage. The best robot will win and an adaptable one is one of the scariest

[@chrisclark8633]

Flippers made robot wars boring, then came tornado.

[@thesmithersy]

Uhhhh, Razer........

[@TheAuzzieKid]

Looking back at the final fight and hearing the rules that allowed it to go through, Tornado's frame wasn't cheating in anyway. While we can all whine about the logistics of it, the rules state that: 1. They registered it in advance 2. Razer was told about it as well and they had an extender on their claw 3. The robot technically wasn't pitted because only 2 of the 4 wheels were suspended over the pit. 4. it didn't exceed the then robot length limit of 2 metres by 1.4 metres. As a child Tornado winning was a heartbreak, I was angry like the rest of them but they weren't cheating

[@Dimitri88888888]

You have to admit that the rules were dumb tho. Like being allowed to create a robot bigger then the pit itself is quite dumb.

[@Dimitri88888888]

@popeleox1202 dude this comment is 3 years old, I don't even remember what we were talking about hahaha 😂

[@therebel4332]

A lot hated Tornado but I thought it was quite inventive with the interchangeable weapons model, it was always fun to watch in its fights as well esp against Storm 2 in the semis in series 7. I hated that metal cage in the final in series 6 though and I would have demanded they remove it if I was a judge. I didn't think they needed to use that to win against Razor because they'd learned a lot from their losses against them imo.

[@thesmithersy]

Tornado winning led to the downfall of Robot Wars because the producers then messed about with the rules for Series 7 to stop another "boring box" (Their words not mine) winning again.

[@OlleForsberg]

The fact that I idolized Tornado the way people idolized Michael Jordan or Zidane doesn't make me proud today.

Craig Charles interviewing Razer in the 2nd World Championship "I'm not supposed to be partial" 36:33 YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@achmed45662]

Man did Matilda yeeet tornado at 22:05

[@jedirevan1582]

Thor may not have been the best made robot but it lasted longer than most.

[@jedirevan1582]

There are two possibles in the fight with Anarchy. Either the spike went through the plastic shield on the inside and into the electronics causing damage, or Tornado went up at an angle with the spike not hitting anything causing no damage. When its about who controls the battle field and who causes damage, I'd say it should go to the bot who is sticking to the same game plan the whole match and isn't damaged by the opponent who tries several ideas.

[@COOL-gu2iq]

Honestly, I'm not a fan of razor or tornado, but I'm very sorry that he didn't fall into the pit in the fight with Dominator 2, I think that Dominator 2 was awarded to go to the finals more than Tornado

[@leeshaw375]

How on earth was that match with razor fair.

[@justandy333]

It was within the rules, not 1 rule was broken. They used their creativity to come up with a solution to a problem. They'd been beaten by Razor in previous Wars, so they needed some out of the box thinking or they'd probably get beaten again. This kind of thing happens in Motorsport all the time, clever interpretation of the rules is a perfectly viable tactic.

[@IFear_Naught]

aaaaand que the argument about the final match vs Razer.

[@IFear_Naught]

i mean, people will argue about it on your vid or elsewhere, you not uploading it wont stop them. best off just having it up anyway and enjoying the views it might bring in.

[@SteelRhythm_YT]

Considering at was the most controversial fight of the 6th Wars, it does raise a bit of debate, maybe not an argument.

[@charlie.hubbard5463]

I mean it's no more controversial than Biohazard v. Son of Whyachi and that doesn't get the amount of fervent debate this does

[@terrance2234]

they are way over the weight limit i must say

[@hissatsu4937]

Tornado was relentless asf. But man that cage was total bullshit and everyone even the Tornado team knows it. If it wasn't for Robot Wars allowing such ridiculous shit Razer would have won.

[@tazzmaniandevilboy42]

Can you do all battles for Plunderbird? You may have to split the video into parts though

[@forzatoby]

tazzmaniandevilboy42 oh god

[@itssfinn123]

Tornado didn't cheat

[@VoiceintheRadio]

I think that cage stopping tornado from going down shouldnt be allowed, if all 4 wheels are over the pit, you are in it.

[@therebel4332]

Yeah it was pure cheating that and they know it, funny because they didn't need to do it they had a top robot anyway. But the captain didn't care that he'd cheated 🤣 he thought it was being crafty at worst but intelligent, his mates didn't think that though they looked a bit embarrassed.

[@kaitendogaming3220]

Tornado - Series 7 & Extreme All Fights please?

[@RealityAuditsUK]

Why are the Judge's looking for damage when all 4 wheels where over the pit? Razor won.

[@brandongill2577]

Now that I think about it, if Tornado drove across the already-activated pit with the framework for yet another rematch with Razer, Tornado would be stuck. What would be the outcome?

[@nigelnigelson3988]

Watch Firestorm vs The Morgue for the answe

[@ArnoldTohtFan]

22:04 how fucking great would it have been if tornado landed in the pit... such a fucking shame

[@nathanking8715]

Inshredable got so lucky in round one If tornado hadn't pitted Terror Bull, they would have been reduced to scrap metal

[@HaLe-cu3mk]

Champ #6 Tornado

[@andyhens3387]

I've always found tornado quite boring. The driving is excellent but it's frankly just a pusher. None of the interchangeables actually did much. Also, yeah they cheated with that pit proof frame.

[@therebel4332]

It's not boring,, styles is what it's all about,, boring was the reboot which just became a flywheel fest. Flippers vs axes vs discs vs pushers was it was all about.

[@andyhens3387]

@@therebel4332 disagree with you on Tornado, but I agree 100% with the reboot comment. It's like 95% blade spinners and really unimaginative.

#Tornadoisnotmychampion

[@econecoff1725]

Tornado cheated; made itself too wide to be pitted. Pitting is usually an automatic out.

[@datguy8805]

Econ Ecoff it was within the rules, he could be pitted as over the put and cant move=pit, razer just let him go, if anything it makes tornado MORE vulnerable to being pitted because theres so much to push around

[@econecoff1725]

I still think there should be a size limit. Great battle, though.

[@kalloused]

It was within the size limit, they would have easily been counted out but Razer still had ahold of them. It was a gamble Tornado took and it paid off. A genius gamble. If Razer had let go of them and let them suspend over the pit to where they couldn't move, they would have been counted out and their idea would have back fired. They played by the rules and won. Genius. Didn't cheat in the least.

[@kineticdeath]

only issue is that the size limit was bigger than the pit. Even if they had a frame that was small enough to get pitted it still would have had razer barely scratching the sides of tornado. A tyre shot was more luck than anything in any of razers kills so its not like a smaller frame would have meant tornado lose by default. It would still be the epic shove fest that it was BUT the potential garanteed kill option would still exist. not that it matters the fight was like a decade ago now? i cant even remember lol

[@TheTradge]

Are you slow? It was literally explained during this video that the dimensions were allowed by the rules, both by Andrew Marchant and judge Noel Sharkey, be gracious in defeat rather than acting like a spoilt kid who didn't get their way.

[@Tmccreight25Gaming]

They didn’t break any rules! #TornadoDidNothingWrong

[@DouglasP_]

Cannot being pitted now is legal? Lol

[@BlooperSphoof1]

Always has been, they were within the size restrictions.

[@DouglasP_]

@@BlooperSphoof1 don't think so.

[@Tmccreight25Gaming]

@@DouglasP_ the judges inspected tornado before they used the cage and found that it conformed to the rules at the time. After series 6 the rules regarding defensive additions to robots were changed and the cage was banned.

[@DouglasP_]

@@Tmccreight25Gaming don't be so naive. The judges are the same who ridicously robbed Storm 2 of his victory against Typhoon and of a truly deserved title, only for share and money reasons They just wanted Tornado to win that title

[@TylasAffordableGaming]

The extra spike was 100% cheating as it wasn't declared

[@justbennyka7596]

I always loved Stinger, but Tornado did very well, making up for their blunder in series 5 against diotor
