Some videos will be restricted for some locations. However, we’re working on bringing enough BattleBots mayhem to the channel for everyone to enjoy!
No tombstone deaths? They are easily just as interesting. Tombstone either destroys the opponent, or it destroys itself.
Tantrum vs Tombstone Season 7 episode 7:
@@titushale2101 Tombstone vs Biteforce
@@youcenon in season7 episode7 tombstone destroyed himself
@@titushale2101 that ain’t season 7, that’s just battlebots champions
@@levertigo2665 ok
I liked watching Gruff fight. He was literally chasing Tombstone around the ring, shrugging off the damage, grappling him and dousing him in fire.
i think if he used the fire more he could have won
It was so frustrating seeing him shoot fire at nothing??? There were so many moments where tombstone was in perfect flaming position and they did nothing???
@@lewis7909 These weapons might have serious reliability issues after a few hits, and the flame thrower might have gone down. When you see it jet back up, it may have been in the moment of calm he was trying to get it back operating, perhaps spamming the button or re sparking it or something. I do agree, given a more durable ignition system, and a way to hold down the other bots a bit more reliably, enemy bots internals could just be roasted. Any insulated wires or batteries could just be destroyed and i think you would lose control even if the bot looked fine.
Gruff's front armour sure held up against that onslaught!
In the fight against Minotaur : That Ray Billing's «Sorry about your floor» was delicious.
The funniest thing is that every time minotaur and tombstone fight, the battle arena always ends up damaged.
Tombstone Vs Minotaur was an amazing battle! It surprisingly shows Tombstone can actually be durable.
Worst of all, tombstone won because minouatr got stuck in a gap in the battle arena, every time minotaur has lost against tombstone it has been because of the battle arena, it is the only robot that can beat ths robot in one a one.
Best fight ever! Along with Bite force x Minotaur
@@elrohirciryatan38 Tombstone has lost to Bombshell (2018 I think) and in a indisputably way!
Hummm I don't think so. While it can be destructive it can be a weapon against itself. I really don't like that project.
The problem is toombstone does a lot of damage to itself woth each hit and Bots are just so much more durable now. They dont get obliderated with 1 or 2 big hits.
Tombstone’s like The Undertaker of robot battles.
Tombstone is such simple robot piloted by a man with godlike driving skills
Agree.. he knows exactly when and where to strike..
The simple works. It's an anti-fall robot, with good durability and a lethal weapon, nothing more. Nowadays people make robots thinking it's a fashion show.
Think you will find some brilliant engineering underneath that " simple " robot
I love Tombstone. It’s like the Sean Connery Bond of the Battlebots world. Sure, it’s probably not exactly what should be made today, but it set the bar for Battlebots spinners and what we want watching a match.
I think it is more Blofeld than Bond.
It's a shame Tombstone isn't competing this season, they're one of only 5 bots to have competed in every season of the reboot (The others being Lockjaw, Captain Shrederator, Hypershock and Witch Doctor). Hopefully Triton can carry the flame for them!
I’m sorry CS? Really? I mean, wow I’m impressed.
I'd have to say at this point Tombstone is the most iconic robot in the whole sport, including old BattleBots and Robot Wars
@@lilsunny7399 don't forget Razer!
@@JohnnySabu sir killalot Mathilda etc
@@JohnnySabu Razer is for many the best robot, as well as the coolest looking.
@@jaysmith2858 very very temperamental though! Chaos seemed to be much more efficient, albeit less destructive than these two
carbide in this new gen the best
I like how Ray doesn't stop, he makes sure that the other bot is either dead or comes out the fight very very damaged
Nope....he spared the unshelled Gigabyte.
@@Shadow-minion you could say Gigabyte was death tbh the shell is its weapon and defense.
@@foulmouth359 but the main motor and moving system everything was intact, just the shell came off. That's why Ray himself tells Gigabyte team to stop moving to initiate a count down as team Gigabyte wanted to stop the match then and there. Ray just spared them.
if they stop moving he stops he stops attacking.
Smart move tbh. It’s better to save the bot for the next fight.
tombstone doesn't have a weapon. it IS the weapon. and I like how that makes it iconic.
You enter with a nice looking bot, then Tombstone has a play with you, you brush up your bot and put it in bin bags. That thing is a beast, amazing to watch. 🙂
Tombstone was the legend.. He deserved to be the icon of the battlebots.. Someday we will celebrate the "tombstone day" to honour his legacy..
Ray Billings, robot combat bad boy.
Tombstone can't even control its own power sometimes, showing how powerful it is :)
it's not the build, it's the driver what makes this bot so dangerous, bot design is rather poor. wheels are too exposed, but then again if you know how to control your bot, then weaker designs work great
@@SethiozProject Ray said one that exposed wheels are sort of bait for the opponent
@@dustmitesp8766 i don't really follow any of that "behind the scenes" i just like to see the fights, but that's very true. Ray has higher intelligence for sure, you can tell from his driving, however Tombstone is not very reliable. if i'd make Tombstone V2, i'd make it stronger so it can withstand some punishment itself, i'd also put brakes on the spinner, so it wouldn't destroy itself after each hit. not sure how the chain system is designed, but perhaps some kind of a springed bulley system, like on bicycles, to prevent the chain from coming off or breaking when it takes a hit. then tombstone would be unstoppable!
@@SethiozProject that already exists, Carbide from robot wars (Ray was a consultant for their team)
@@Nova63_ didn't know that, but makes sense .. that's why carbide has so powerful weapon. i actually got a reply from Ray on his channel, i left him a rather long comment and basically suggested that he should come back with competitive build, it would be really fun to watch him compete with something similar to carbide.
The guy said the bar weighs 75lbs so I did some googling to check... Yes, 75lbs and it used to spin at 400mph but they slower it down to 250mph because it was too dangerous. That's 32kg spinning at 420kmph. Terrifying.
isnt that more than a third of a .50 BMG?
Best of Tombstone! 0:11 1. Minotaur 0:33 2. Beta 1:38 3. Yeti 2:59 4. Gigabyte 3:34 5. Radioactive 4:34 6. Gruff 7:40 7. Whiplash 8:35 8. Slap Box
Never a dull moment with Tombstone!
I didn't know this kind of robot tournament is actually exist in real life 😲
Gruff the best of the opponents, and the most resistant
This was beautiful to watch. Tombstone is the bot boss!
That one bot that survived against tombstone with all weapons operational is quite durable
Обожаю владельца Tombstone и самого робота, его мощь поражает. Надеюсь, он разберёт на запчасти ещё пару вёдер. Его соперники после боя: От куда выпала эта деталь?
6 years on and I'm still mystified and a little cross about John's bizarre decision to not use Beta's weapon once against Tombstone. Not the first time he was overly cautious to his detriment either. Wonder what that was about.
If I remember right I think Tombstone actually cut Beta's weapon chain in one of the interactions where it slid up the wedge very early in the match
That hammer would have been ripped off in mere seconds ..but the reason why he didn't use it was that tombstone ripped the chain off right in the first couple of seconds
Gigabyte losing its dome as the same energy as a cartoon turtle losing its shell
Dude, I joined in on this fun, I’d have to talk to each ine of my opponents before the match and see we could come to a mutual understanding that the winner deserves a piece of their opponents bot, that was knocked off during the fight, like a trophy and that if both parties went ham, each can go home with a piece of each other’s bot.
one of the classic bot, love it, the main weapon is just so resilience, thats the most impressive part, it always spins back up!!!!! such good name , and the operator got that face i saw once and never forget look
I'm a simple guy: I see Tombstone, I click, watch, like, favourite and comment!
When Tomb Stone's in form, the opponent is just left deformed..
Bombshell beating tombstone and then being one shot the next round is the most battle bots thing evet
I love when the wheels are flying
The battle with the gigabyte one is hilarious 😂
One more hit to the innards and about $50,000 gone
@@btight3300 Wow, are they really that expensive? I guess it should be obvious by how powerful they are now. I'm only a casual fan who watched Robot Wars as a kid. Chaos 2, winner of series 3 and 4, apparently cost £250 to make.
@@thegrinderman1090Yeah, back then a robot could be made out of 3mm aluminum and be good, but now you need 6mm hardened steel at the least
@@thegrinderman1090 this is old fashion robot one tombstone shot to the co2 tank it will probably explode ..flippers need to use different systems nowadays .
@@eioclementi1355 so that's why bronco isn't competing?
Tombstone vs Radioactive was like a chainsaw fighting a plastic knife
To paraphrase the great Rick Flair, "To be 'The Bot', you gotta beat 'The Bot', and Tombstone is 'The Bot'."
Tomb Stone is best bot ever! I am big fan of Witch Doctor but this... this is nasty what Tomb stone does to enemies... I love tomb stone and i want to see him! even if he in not my favourite bot I want to see him against witch doctor
He's fought WD twice:/
This is one of the things I just love about america 😂
Tbh gruff is like the greatest counter to Tombstone It can literally break tombstone's weapon with its face it can take a lot of abuse it can easily shove tombstone around the box and smother him as well
Bots like Radioactive always puzzle me. The builders love this show enough to be parts of it, and that's what they come up with?
Always thought that. The effort to design a bot, make a bot, test it, qualify… with no weapons or it’s a gimmick… like… why?!
@@QuotidianStupidity It's crazy when you look at their UK bot Behemoth, which was far more impressive than this
It cost less and it still gives a good show.
In the words of Ray Billings, you want more?
Everybody must get Tombstoned!
Craziest I ever saw was Tombstone vs Biteforce where the spinner BROKE. It was insane, sparks everywhere.
The second clip in the intro was literally just 2 seconds of Tombstone gently touching other bot and that's it
If the spinning blade's chain doesn't get loose sometimes, it will be perfect
And if it didn't have exposed wheels
Being from the UK who created Robot Wars I'm loving the American version. Crazy bots.
Other: No way, I cannot damage tombstone. Tombstone: Fine, I’ll do it myself
One of the best bit videos ever. Carnage
Minotaur vs Tombstone é uma das melhores lutas até hoje,afinal como a equipe minotaur disse "A unica forma de ganhar,é ir arma contra arma" e acabou com o minotaur preso e o chassi do Tombstone todo torto...foi uma boa luta.
Yeah! tombstone Is the most powerful battlebot in battlebots history
Bite Force, Rotator, End Game, Skorpios, Black Dragon, Jackpot, Hypershock and Tantrum would like a word with you....
@@ZondaFRoadster What about Minotaur and IceWave?
@@z30_HUNGARY Minotaur lost to Tombstone, and Icewave have never fought them.
@@ZondaFRoadster I'd say Bite Force has the most effective design, while Tombstone is all about the weapon. Bite Force is ridiculously good at the ground game, and it has a punchy weapon, though it doesn't really hit any harder than the other verticals. Tombstone's horizontal giant bar can get countered by wedges but if it can get a good nick on a flat surface it does crazy amounts of damage
@@p_nilly Any hammer like weapon on a robot is pretty useless, you cant get enough power in them, you need too much power than batterys can provide or the robot doesnt have enough mass and jumps away. With rotating weapons you can gain momentum and hit way harder.
Incredible all crushing tomb stone!
Reminds me of a scene from The Dark Knight Returns, “This isn’t a mud pool, it’s an operating table, and I’m the surgeon”
смотришь на этих стариков которые видимо в детстве не наигрались в машинки так решили под старость в годах так 70+ поиграться а внуки стоят рядом и только болеют за них
3:57 "You want more!?" 🤣
Buhhh ongghu leburr teh josss edeh jiah mat👍👍👍👍
역대 챔피언에게 바치는 칭호입니다 바이트 포스: 제왕 툼스톤: 마왕 엔드 게임: 패왕 탄트럼: 용사 쏘블레이즈: 사룡 - battle robots fan from South korea -
oh yes one of the legends with bronco and minotauro
Tombstone is a double edged sword, well, propeller to be accurate
very cool set of battles
geez i discovered this channel today!
bro tombstone is the mike tyson of battlebots lol
Tombstone should have had wheel protection
просто локомотивные колёса
Ray has a video explaining why he can't in his channel
@@djstr0b3 what's his channel?
ıdk ı never seen his wheel took damage
@@erwindatema9268 literally just called ray billings
Ini pertarungan yang sangat menarik..🤯😁
When you saw how version of this tombstone was made and was called ankle destroyer
Tombstone is my favourite ❤
watch the floor of the arena at 4:38.. those killsaws didnt stand a chance!
i so hope tombstone gets back on its feet!
What I got from this is spinning mass = victory
Should've included their first ever fight against Counter Revolution.
The best BOT in the history!!! 👌✌️🤘
Is there a ‘no commentary’ version?
I swear I saw that robot concept on a KZhead video quite a while ago
Ah... to all of us older farts and those others who watched the old Robot Wars from the 90's, Tombstone is the son of "Fluffy", only meaner...
If your bot have huge wheels, you should use vulcanised rubber. It is tougher than steel but lighter
03:38 La risita toda malévola del que lo maneja 😂
Love from INDIA 💕💕
Ó Ratão tem que fazer um chibata assim hahahaha
Is there a game with official license for PC? I love BB and want to play this on my pc
Tombstone will be missed as Ray Billings and Tombstone will be absent in Season 2022.
Hopefully the Deep Six team can carry Ray's flame with Triton.
Amazing
Haha this is so entertainment
Tombston... Simple is the best!
Hypnodisc was my favourite ever
Would love to se hypnodisc VS tombstone it would be an interesting battle
That would be awesome, i would love to see a modern version of hypnodisc, spin to win
hypnodisc would get destroyed pretty fast. its armour isnt so great, and while it held up well in older robot wars, it would never work in the newer ones, its not durable enough, and the SRM takes too long to operate. BB are in a different weight class to RW anyway
Id prefer tombstone vs carbide lol
the ankle cutter
Uppercut just kicks tombstonesa$$ in 1 minute
Tombstone ist einfach richtig lit
was protecting the wheels against the rules?
This is cool
what is radioactive supposed to be or do?
why the drivers looks like CEOs of a big tech company lol
Awesome
Uncle machine is amazing super fighter
THE TITLE PREDICTED THE VIDEO
tombstone power
Tombstone daria um belo cortador de grama
Hope to see Tombstone return in Season 8
lesson 1 : never charge into tombstone head on..
Next Mun bisa agebey SE bisa ngantem ruah mat male langsung tompess mosonah👍👍👍👍🔥🔥
Tombstone and minotaur was the best🎉
How to watch this Live Online ?
winning or not, it doesnt matter. its the most destructive bot there
