Robot Wars - Razer - Most Spectacular Wins Ever

...and mullets

If they had a flamethrower at the tip they could have roasted everything from the inside out. Nothing beats reverse roasted chicken.

@@thatguynamedgeorge9218 Would have been amazing to see, yeah. Unfortunately during the time Razer was in Robot Wars: projectiles and chemical weapons like flamethrowers weren't allowed for Challenger Robots as they were deemed too unpredictable and hazardous. The only one we really saw during those early seasons was the flamethrower on Sgt. Bash, and even then it was rife with malfunctions.

And bulb boy, weasel and potato features apparently. Hahaaa!!! That fight with Widow's Revenge is still priceless!

THE AUDACITY!

This is why I loved the old robot wars. Anyone who went up against the house robots wasn't banned, or suffered punishment. Everyone was fair game, if you went up against a house robot too, was seen as a good laugh

@@RoadRunnerMeep wait they now ban peaople for attacking house robots? Thats wierd.

Yeah, they shouldn't get banned for that, just have all the house robots turn on them. You pick the fight, you deal with the consequences. I guess they're worried about the really powerful robots doing some permanent damage to the house robots.

@@duskyrc1373 thats some bs, i started designing a robot with the sole goal of picking fights with the house robots regardless if i won or loose the fight against the other player, and now i that plan is gone to waste,.. thanks for the heads up, saved me time and money from building the robot i had planned.

@@eageraurora879 its not been canceled lol, just look up their youtube channel. and one dont need a degree to build a robot lol, i grew up on and around farms so i know mechanics including welding, and been building wireless controlled model planes and cars since childhood, so making a robot as seen in robot wars is relatively easy, its just a oversized remote controlled model car with armor and some sort of weapon. Now coming up with a new design thats both unique and not boring and can go toe to toe with a house robot is a bit more challenging

Did razor ever fight hypno disc? Id love to see that lol

@@sporkinstien6571 iirc Razor managed to bite into the Disc and that was that.

I've never seen a bot fight against house bots voluntarily, let alone not only win, but demolish and scrap the house bot

@@Sonikgav Searching by Hypno-Disc's bout history, it never did get to fight Razor unfortunately. It fought a Raizerblade bot, which it won. Closest in name, farthest in the type of fight.

@@justinmartinez67 I might be thinking of Razor fighting a Hypnodisc clone at some point. God knows there were enough of them.

I BEG YOU! WE'RE DEAD!

NOT IN THE FACE, PLEASE!

Wth

house robots wasnt just 1, theres 4 of them, wich means 1 of them can defeat Razer (it just my opinion)

Yeah I spotted that. Couldn't stop laughing

Jonathan Pierce: "oh my, poor Matilda! Onslaught's long been *(giggles)* forgotten..."

When the house bots sensed weakness from Matilda, she's just been replaced by Razer

Razer: "I'm not locked in here with you, no... You're locked in here with me!" Matilda: *Furiously fleeing for it's life*

For me I see Matilda like the heavy from meet the pyro

@@callemtheone7925 I fear no bot, but that....thing. *looks at Razor* It scares me.

Razer always trying to tap Mathilda Sorry not sorry

@@levisamom5069 - Razer went in dry! 😂

I @@callemtheone7925

yeah im suprised it never became a house robot. imagine a bigger, stronger and faster version of Razer, like the size of sir killalot. it would be great

@@GeoKing_88 *terrifying

@@GeoKing_88 at that point it'd be something far worse than a house robot

@@theomegablade6415 Razor: the God Slayer

@@GeoKing_88 i mean, thats essentially instakill if it gets a robot, through the armor and the inside electrics would be massacred, i know the house robots are supposed to be overpowered but having something that can instantly end a champion robot is a bit too powerful in their eyes, probably why they didn't use that idea, though it would be awesome

they'd open the pit and drive into it.

i mean, Razor has bested Bulldozer AND Matilda (because Matilda is a must for them) at the same time

@@theomegablade6415 Bulldozer? Do you mean Shunt?

@@angelfire42682 yeah, it's hard to remember some of them, i just see a massive frontal plough and think bulldozer

As good as it is I don’t think it would stand a chance against killalot

Yeah I love it

it's truly an honor bot, too bad it's lost it's fair share, it's great against most, but usually the finals proves it's downfall and should it get flipped, it's in for it

T pose as well

@@theomegablade6415 I mean, the only “final” it ever lost was Series 6

@@vidj1628 true, but Razer's time is gone now sadly, but it has changed Robot Wars forever along with a few others from the same series

Razer is Chaos2's cryptonite, the perfect robot to beat them. Likewise Hypnodisc could easily have beaten Razer but Chaos2 beat them

@@deSelb Razor is hard counter to flipper since he literally immobilise them for a huge chunk of time

@@cbbblue8348 Razor can also recover from being flipped

@@jube8835 we see that at 2:57

yeah as Chaos 2 was no slouch either that flipper was very strong and effective good enough to toss most bots out of the arena. Razer got a bit lucky in that it managed to pin Chaos 2 agains tthe wall an dattack it's back because reall ythat was Chaos 2's only vulnerable spot

Imagine razor new name as house robot would be razor the killer of titan

Razor the Titan Slayer

@@nathanzavala2861 titan cutter

A large razer with a bigger more powerful stabbah

The thing is, competitors are usually not allowed to cause damage to house robots. The producers wanted to retire this version of Matilda and build a stronger one so they just let Razer do the thing

It's like Razer just decided "House robot eh? CHALLENGE ACCEPTED"

He went where nobody ever went before...he went straight for the ass! Haha

"The only House Robot here is me!" - Razer

Getting wrecked by Razer was the best thing to happen to Matilda. Chainsaw was pathetic, but that flywheel was some deadly shit.

The best bit was for the rest of that episode and a couple of future episodes Matilda was featured with bandaged around her rear and no chainsaw till she got the disk saw xD

Punished Matilda

Razer kept going for Matila in several of the fights because they'd actually been given permission to. They planned to upgrade Matilda anyway, so thought it was fair to give Razer a crack at her. Also why the other House Robots didn't save her.

@@raikaria3090 Oh, that's some great background. Makes it even better!

i love that comment

This is great

This was written by Matilda and you can't convince me otherwise.

I mean... Razer was penetrative her rear end pretty hard :L xD

Damn sociologist and a robot wars fan, crazy world

Yes, really.

yes

Literally ate her ass. Razer was beyond its time.

Other robots: I have bulletproof armor Razer: hehe crunch go brrrr

He scrumch

I call it the hydraulic press

Damn pussycat got in the way with that lucky hit on the wheel. I think hypnodisc had the edge on razer though. Faster. So he can kite around to get the disc going. Would depend on driving.

@@nfsfanAndrew Hypnodisc's biggest weakness was the exposed wheels. If only the had a sheet to cover them, then they would've won. Pussycat always lost points on control and the Hypnodisc crew always cared more for the self-righting element since they lost the final to Chaos 2.

Hypnodisc would have won easily, the 1 danger Razer always had was a horizontal spinner, Hypnodisc would have been able to ride the front scoop (similar to how they did stealth) into the connective joint of the beak probably snapping it in 2. The only way Razer would win would be to get a grip on the disc before it spun up to speed, which would be incredibly unlikely

@@mclew1234 Are you expecting something similar to what happened to Ming 3 or more devastating?

@@thegrimmcommoner2203 Probably worse, they went after the wheels on Ming if i remember right. Tbh I doubt the side of Razor would hold up to the disc anyway but the front slope of Razor is much shallower making it more possible to drive up & there is no way the beak would hold up if it was hit even remotely by a horizontal spinner. I think that was part of the reason why in the reboot they basically just drove it straight in to the pit, they were there for nostalgia but as all the modern robots are horizontal spinners & would just cut the beak in half

Robot Wars always had a more whimsical feel to it than the likes of Battlebots.

Yeah looking back, most of the robots on robot wars were trash

@@SteelShroom256 yep, comedy and entertainment over two grown men screaming every time robots slam into each other

@@Tommybotham 75% of the robots in series 1-3 were rubbish, but this was 1998-1999

@@Tommybotham there are trashbots that came back 2 or 5 years later with monsters. Sting is a prime example of this with S3.

true.....until pussycat arrived

Especially that bug bot

@@user-ih4vf1hh5g seriously what were they expecting with the bug

@@XxmatixX6videosdiariosdenadav It was before the showrunners started bullying teams with uncompetitive robots, so the team of the bug was just there to have fun.

Back then, yes... but it wouldnt win against those spinning drums with those exposed wheels and straight backside

Modern robot wars seems to be all spinners. Whoever can get the hardest materials moving fastest wins.

Absolute destruction was never the purpose of the House Robots. They were a minor hazard to be avoided, not something to upstage the competitors. If anything, their role was more to ensure safety in the arena by pitting or manoeuvring trapped, dangerous or out-of-control robots.

@@mainomai Specifically bar spinners. They were fun at first (in the revival), but it go very samey quickly. If Robot wars comes back they need to do something about bar spinners.

I'd make Razor a wildcard, no allegiances and will turn on house robots if aggro'd

Modern 3 phase (brushless) motors combined with high power ESCs and LIPO batteries make anything that isn't a spinner pretty much obsolete.

They also avoided getting in tangles with Hypnodisc.

@@NRGFLOGaming Good point that disc was massive and did a lot of damage.

Carbide also. Whenever it was in play, they would only use Sir Killalot and Shunt because they were the toughest. And they would try their best to avoid making contact with it.

And Tornado.

@@NRGFLOGaming yeeessss

You're right, it was immobilised after all.

I'm so glad there's someone that still feels this way

yep, even to this day, I've never been happy with Tornado, even though they're a very local team to me, Tornado's modification shouldn't have been allowed and the victory should easily have gone to Razer

@@Noctis457 I always thought given how close it was considering the obviously unfair modifications the judges should have awarded it to razer

I don't know why you're expressing frustration about that here when it's not included in this video. But I will say that describing your feelings as salty is selling yourself a bit short when you have a perfectly good reason to hate that outcome.

The whole thing is scripted for tv lol and it worked the ratings went though the roof

@@TheTwolesslives dont think so

I can assure you the show would've been entertaining a lot more consistently if that was the case.

Razor already had the look down as well.

Same here, it was so unique at the time and while powerful had its limits, Nothing like Carbide nowadays which is frankly OP as all hell

@@spartancam-rs5ru yeah, Carbide and Tombstone both were so OP. That two wheel flippable design with a spinning bar seems to be the most effective design of them all, and though they're fun to watch it's a bit unoriginal, bots like Razor were so cool because they were unique.

@GD Magic Gaming Not quite, you put too much stress if it’s a vertical spinner. Chain is much more likely to snap when it gets stuck as the motor can put undue stress on the chain, and with four wheels, if you lose a front wheel, your steering goes to shit and you have much less traction. A horizontal, two wheeled spinner is generally a lot deadlier, and allows for more work to be put on the weapon than the wheels. A vertical spinner is just a different looking flipper tat the end of the day. Carbide and Tombstone were lauded as some of the most powerful, If not *the* most powerful spinner bots to be created. They can slam their opponents away with a good shot while doing major damage to the armour, because even a glancing blow could do some major internal damage.

* Annihilates a robot twice it’s weight *

Blendo

or more accurately, inMETALate

@@thisnamehaschangedthanksto8185 nice lol

Not to mention the control, damage, aggression and the absolute brass bollocks on this set of madlads

same

In the early series, a lot of unarmed wedges advanced surprisingly far, and even won, simply by avoiding attacks and waiting for the other robot to break down. I guess they were thinking of the same thing, but too late.

Depending on the house robots and arena obstacles to defeat your opponent seems... Negligent

Early on in the show a lot of people were just kids and people having a laugh making fun robots and smashing them up, it wasn’t until later on when people started taking it really really seriously and making really expensive CnC disc robots or rolling robots became the meta

wasn't there a duo robot that both had flippers? if I remember it was actually a beast too

@@garethjones4433 I've only seen KZhead clips, not sure. It'd be interesting to see an immediately serious larger version of these guys though

You had a godly power in your hands for a few hours

Id be reminded that from anything nostalgic.

Oh man. I feel you dude

With Craig Charles in charge?...awoooga

Don't delude yourself, 99% of it was shit then, just like today

The Judge No Apologies Vladiator Vlad The Impaler

@@Leatherface123. i under stand these words in a normal sense when accompanied with robots i have no idea lol i dont follow robot fighting just the occasional late night comp binge

On top of that, they won down to judge decision, despite being suspended over the pit by that frame and unable to escape.

@@jimi_jams you're absolutely correct. A poor decision from the judges and an 'interesting' interpretation of the rules from team tornado.

I had no issue with the skirt, all praise for the creativity. The win to an immobile robot on the other hand was a terrible call.

Tornado cheated

I remember watching that moment at the time and it was when I switched to razor being my favorite robot.

There's a lot of respect on both sides. They both know they're going against a VERY dangerous opponent.

@@antonioscendrategattico2302 Afterall Chaos 2 was the robot that put an end to Hypnodiscs rampage in its first appearance.

@@Gothic7876 Only robot to win the championship twice, too. Chaos 2 was terrifying.

Back when robots didn't cost 20k+

Your Mentality Becomes Your Reality, or What you Give out you Recieve !! kind regards One & All

Is that why they seemed to be sparing Onslaught in the actual fight? Pearce mentioned the seeming lack of power in the weapon then, so presumably they had to save power and could do so. Didn't know the weapon worked like that if indeed it does, I know flippers have that kind of thing with the CO2 supply...

That's probably why the other house bots were attacking her too

That was kayfabe?? Aw man...

I suppose it's like a gladiator fight, you like the action, yes, but when one is dominating you may end up wanting to see a beautiful execution to finish the opposition

I enjoy it because it reeks of pure disrespect

Everything good comes to an end, and we all know it. It's best to scream, shout, and cheer until you cannot anymore. That's how you truly enjoy something

I remember when Chaos 2 first flipped another robot out of the arena. I was like Oh, you can just DO that?!

Secret relationship

Different eras, different armours and defences.

Is it really a tribute when we later see it making the house robots fear it? That wasn't a tribute, it was a kind gift from the true king

hypnodisk was insane

Where's tombstone at though :(

pussycat aswell

Throw firestorm in there to.

@@SleepLessThan3 BattleBots, not Robot Wars. But I do think Chris should've specified his four picks as Robot Wars' four best combatants to make it clear that he was only referring to that show. Personally, I'd describe Chaos 2, Hypno-Disc, Razer and Carbide as the Mount Rushmore of Robot Wars.

And then we have Carbide the arena destroyer...

Omg wow! My dad was the team captain!

wtf indeed

The worst tank ever
