That 2nd group battle has to be one of the worst battles in the shows history. Piranha looked cool but not much else, Fatal Traction was weak all round, but f*** me Doctor Fist was just............apocalyptically horrendous.
I feel Piranha might've been impressive if it participated in earlier series of Robot Wars but most bots got so much better armament nowadays or if the weapon was a bit stronger or if it was maybe built more like Stinger. That would have been awesome!
I agree but you can't deny that Piranha looks awesome in terms of design. My thought would be maybe they should've added a chainsaw on their weapon instead of just jagged teeth.
Just curious, but where did you hear that? Chaos 2 and M2 met at a live event in 2002, but those are separate from the TV series, plus it happened before series 6. As far as I heard, George Francis joined the technical crew in Series 7 and retired Chaos 2 from competition after the damage it took in Extreme 2. He did restore Chaos 2 to working order for demonstrations and charity events, but didn’t try to enter it in Robot Wars again. Also, I’m fairly sure that Chaos 2 would have been seeded for Series 7 had it shown up, which would have allowed it to skip the qualifiers.
@@TheLegacyofHitchcock That was actually filmed in April 2003 just prior to the filming of 7th Wars which could well have been a qualifier and Chaos 2 seemed to be working the only trouble was it kept flipping itself over a lot of the time because of the overpowering gas flipper.
@@MrGriser If you mean this- czcams.com/video/_Xt87KaZMGw/video.html It was definitely 2002. There's a page on the Tornado website about the event and there's no mention of it involving qualification for the TV series at all, wether it was Series 6 or 7- www.teamtornado.co.uk/rumble22.htm The qualifiers for Series 7 were held just prior to the event in the same arena used for the TV series- czcams.com/video/FtoPgQ1hbTY/video.html George Francis simply chose not to enter Series 7.
Well, first heat, Cedric Slammer proved a lot quicker and more agile than it looked. Bash Gordon seemed to get itself partly disabled, opened the pit, then laboriously manouvred itself right over the pit, needing only a final nudge from Cedric to fall in. So Cedric and, ironically, Pressure (which did nothing) go through. Second fight, I reckon all three bots should have been counted out as utterly ineffectual. Only bot in this heat that showed any promise was Cedric Slammer. It had the speed, the agility, and its car-wheel vertical spinner was much more effective than it looked, it certainly made a mess of Fatal Traction. Piranha vs Pressure - Pressure suddenly came to life and actually did stuff. Piranha also. They were actually quite well matched, though neither was very inspiring. Pressure won on points. Well the final utterly sucked. What the HELL was bloody Killalot doing interfering out of its corner? I think Cedric Slammer won but how could anyone tell when both bots spent more time being mauled by the house thugbots than they did fighting each other? I hate to say this but I'm coming to the conclusion that Battlebots is way superior, even though I can't stand the American hype, because of ONE thing only - NO fucking HOUSE ROBOTS. All told, of all the bots in these four heats, there might have been enough to muster two decent heats at most.

Doctor Fist has to be one of the most unintentionally hilarious names for anything I’d ever seen
The girl was right: Piranha's titanium paddle is pants.
It literally swung faster going backwards than forwards 😂
To be honest, Cedric Slammer was the only one worth rooting for in this heat.
I liked Pressure too
@@jdixon390cedric slammer was 4th in new blood. From Joe. X
Holy crap, that second battle was a series 3 fight.
That's being harsh to Series 3...

Sir Killalot randomly decides to take his shirt off quite a few times throughout the duration of this show
I know I'm sexy. Don't pretend you didn't love it.

Piranha's weapon would have been move damaging if the targets were made of Bread.
Not Bad
DR FIST IS THE BEST ROBOT EVER!!!!!IT'S SO DESTRUCTIVE AND FAST AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!!!DR FIST IS GREAT!!!!!
Cedric Slammer was lifeless for a long period in the last battle but refbot didn't count.
40:22 sadly M2 prevented Pressure from accessing the 7th wars.
@obi wan M2 also prevented Chaos 2 from qualifying as well.
