-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Naah, they'd never recapture the magic. Bring back similar shows like junkyard wars and battlebots.
Battle bots is still going on. They have new seasons every year. There is a large break in between for rebuilds and try outs.
I'm personally addicted to the smaller battle bot leagues like NHRL.
I love how creative ant and beetle weight battles are. Folks show up with literal pieces of trash attached to a motor and make havoc.
Did you see Dutch Oven? Holy fuck that's the scariest robot I've ever seen!
You mean the tiny robot that MELTED the arena??
Yes, yes I have.
Scrapheap Challenge! Found some of it on youtube :D
Unfortunately they can't bring Grant Imahara back :'(
Isn't there a current bot-fighting league? NHRL or something like that? They keep popping up in my YouTube recommendations, but I haven't done a deep dive into them.
