A nearly oota complition pls
A compilation of competitors attacking house robots would be good!
It’s gotta be Axe-Awe, with the OG Chaos 2 Firestorm a close second
A compilation of Robots set on fire 🔥
@@Razer-el1eg Was gonna suggest, times that House Robots have been toppled over...
The first one by Chaos 2 shall always be remembered.
Just for George Francis' reaction
George never imagined it to be possible and was more shocked than anyone that it happened
5:45 is made ten times more insane when you consider that Wheely Big Cheese had leftover energy from that flip
Gravity's 2 flips nearly damaged the plexiglass walls!. From Joe. X
12:34 my favorite part of Robot Wars.
“That’s come down with snow on it!”
"Wow that's out!"
6:01 Axe-Awe: Whee! I can see my house from here!
17:42 best one ever! never been done like this and it only happened once
Either 5:52 or 5:53 when Wheely big cheese flipping Axe-awe Both really extremely high and out of the arena? 😮 WHAT?!?! Gravity Destroying the arena while attacking Hydra? HOLY HELL!!! Plus Don’t ever mess with Matilda or she’ll make you begging for mercy.
22:44 Well, with another one out, all Refbot can do is shake his head in disbelief. Ben Adams: It’s true.
You know, as soon as someone spends ages making a compilation like this the BBC will bring back Robot Wars...
Hexbug Heroes or maybe SkySports can pick it up if BBC keeps fucking us over
@@ErikZarins agree
You don't realize how savage killalot is until you watch this
5:49 that’s why wbc will always be one of my favourite bots such power in that flipper!!!
Rest In Peace, Nick Adams
Wait how do you know?
@@bossboymarroquin5775 it was mentioned on Facebook a little while ago now. Very saddening news
@@Jb33124 oh wow. That is so sad i hope his kids are ok 😭
@@bossboymarroquin5775 I believe they are. Bear in mind that the final episode of robot wars' original run was in 2004, meaning that his children are 17 years older than shown in this video.
11:10 - This is way more frightening than it looks. That's just from sheer SPINNING force, not by a powerful co2 flipper. Razer pushed Matilda to come back as a far more terrifying beast.
12:28 the one you wanted to look for but couldn't find
The spin to take the one that stays in the arena to bounce into the pit is just absolutely amazing. One of my favourite Robot Wars moments ever.
4:29 That looked so effortless...
Yeah pretty good flipper, forgot out that bot
A part of my soul died when Iron Awe flipped Bigger Brother out
Same
Typhoon would have been knocked out
Gemini's is the most satisfying one
One Hit KO's, and/or the shortest fights in Robot Wars!
5:50 That flip tho
One of robot wars best 'holy shit!' moments for sure.
The funniest thing about this video isn’t the flips. It’s Jonathan cackling like a hyena!
Some guys were rough though!. From Joe. X
2:29 Thermidor 2 did something that Chaos 2 couldn't do and that's to flip Stinger out of the arena.
I think a large part of that is the width of the flipper. Chaos 2 has a wide flipper, which is great for easily getting under a robot with little trouble, but Stinger has those two big wheels and a pretty narrow gap between them. Chaos 2's wide flipper is just wide enough to be able to get under without catching the wheels. Thermidor 2, however, has a pretty narrow flipper, allowing it to get to the body between Stinger's wheels, letting them flip Stinger out rather more successfully
I remember a VERY old video. Very much like this one, being an OOTA compilation. Jonathan Pierce said "That's come down with snow on it!", Then the video cut to a black screen which said "really Jonathan?" And then cut to a group dancing. This is very, Very old, so if anyone can find it is be absolutely shocked
Wow after keeping a OOTA Count of every robot in this and you don't count House Robots (as obviously Killalot has most OOTA's) the actually participating in the Wars robot with most OOTA's is Dantomkia at 9, I actually never realized that before!
WOW!
Chaos 2 superb robot and a masterful controller
Sterling job! Extended commentary, all clips included, correct aspect ratios, perfect work - I was commentating all of the preboot UK flips as I was watching them, and hearing the surrounding commentary as I went!
Nice. The fact that this video is over half an hour long is a testament to just how short the arena walls were.
Spinners seem to be the ultimate bot weapon but when flippers work, they simply steal the show from everyone else.
Sounds about right. (For the UK.)
They're also less dangerous than spinners whilst still being impressive, which is why they were the absolute foundation of the touring arena shows.
@@shinydavidhowell Touring arena shows? I'm not familiar with that.
All out of arenas not by fliper robots: 1:35 3:05 3:28 4:43 9:27 9:55 10:26 12:31 13:25 15:38 16:30 17:42 19:29 22:09 22:20 22:50 23:18 23:40 24:03 24:26 24:47 25:03 25:33 25:55 26:20 26:54 27:57 28:13 31:48
What about storm and Matilda
I have never been sure how I feel about the Chaos 2 vs Firestorm fight. On one hand, it established the main tactic for flippers from that point forward. If this battle had never happened, the spinners would have taken over much earlier as more bots were able to self right. On the other hand, Firestorm was an amazing bot, and did not deserve to be the first bot to be flipped out of the arena.
Chaos 2 was like a fixed point in time for UK Robot Combat.
Surely being the first robot out is kind of an honour?
It all came down to just how good a driver Chaos 2 had. Similar to Razer and Pussycat both having among the best drivers in the whole of Robot Wars.
@Pope Leo X Exactly. Good drivers are what make good bots.
I don't think you could ever top the flipper throwing one out of the arena and another into the pit at the same time.
Oh my God. I was like just like Johnathan Pearce when that happened. I could not stop laughing! The featherweight are so much fun!
what are the odds of that ever happening again?
29:27 is my favourite flip. Eruption launching the annoying Cherub, no nonsense, no mistakes, wheee... just like that. :)
Lol
Cyclone is the only US robot to toss 2 robots out of the arena
Thanks, this looks good. The amazing thing about Robot Wars is that just when you think you know everything about it, you will still come across some battle you haven't seen or some obscure robot you haven't heard of!
Adam H it’s more of a league than battle bots I’d say, I’m not saying it better, but there’s more to discover for sure
@@jacobwigley I'd actually argue the later classic years of Robot Wars were the best years of any robot combat on a rounded level. There were multiple types of machine that thrived (spinners, flippers, Razer was arguably off-meta but it won one series and should have had another), and there were plenty of more amateur hobbyist roboteers who came in with all sorts of designs from the silly to the solid. And the storylines were embraced and done very well, IMO the Extreme series helped out for this even though they were basically exhibition fights. Battlebots is a succession of big-money beast machines, and I find it less enjoyable as a show whilst also seeing it as the top level of roboteering. In fact, my biggest problem with the Robot Wars revival was that it just felt like a Battlebots second division at times, as the balance tipped far enough towards well-funded professionalism to lose some charm.
Mad respect for Firestorm. It has to be way more difficult to get robots over the fence with a front-hinged flipper like that.
5:45 - That's what you all came here to see.
No i came to see all of them
great compilation, tnx
Cheers NJGW! 🍻 Spinner's chipping & KO's.
29:13 "She's up to speed now boys!" Not!
Gravity ❤️ Nice video, man!
#BringBackRobotwars now
28:16 Dang you Matilda!
My God I wish we could have Dantomkia vs Gravity
20:20 🤔
Yeah that would be a awesome fght
@Pope Leo X pretty sure he was joking
12:38 that's come down with snow on it
0:06 That’s one of the best laughs I’ve ever heard
23:42 R.I.P camera.
Would love to see some battlebots bots make an appearance on robot wars, that’d be sweet.
Sadly I think they canceled
We sort-of saw that with the post-Series 4 special episode War Of Independence. Both Rammstein and FrenZy made appearances, but while Rammstein crashed out in the first round due to weight and battery issues, FrenZy made it all the way to the final... ... only to be felled by, of all machines, Mortis!
Nice compilation. Are you making a countdown for the best fights of extreme 2?
>23 minutes in >insert Italian Peter Griffin skit here
YES! Finally!
32:32 somewhere out there, a hardcore kid is crying *WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!?*
As the saying goes... If you're going to go out, you may as well go out in style AKA out of the arena
Chaos 2 looks like someone trapped an angry demon in a bubble-jet printer.
14:16 Hydra???? Like battlebots hydra??
No completly diffrent bots
4:27 JP trying not to say ‘by trade’
Chaos 2 records First robot win two titles First robot to flip out another First robot to Flip out 2 Robots First robot to flip out 3 robots First robot to flip out 4 robots First robot to flip out 5 robots
"A baked bean... IS MORE MEAN!"
I'd love to see a video compilation of all the times Jonathan Pearce said "armament" incorrectly.
28:16 damn Matilda
About 10 minutes into the vid I was realizing something. Is it just me or are the OOTAs from the Extreme Warriors annihilator with Cyclone not in it?
TimDragonKid he put them after Series 7
@@TaleOfTheToaster Like I said that's what I thought... but still. And i completely forgot how fast some of the OOTAs were.
Sorry for saying so many comments, but wasn't there a flipped frenzy where Sgt. Bash was flipped out?
No, Sergeant Bash wasn't flipped out in the Flipper Frenzy. Chaos 2, Bigger Brother and Thermidor 2 (Wheely Big Cheese was already immobilised down the other end of the arena) tried, but they couldn't use a combined attack from the right angle. Still, Bash's flamethrower did get all but broken off upon hitting the top of the wall, to the point it was hanging by a thread.
Ahh, I remember now. Too bad he didn't go out though...
I think Sir Killalot score a hole in one
Did i see dead metal get flipped by dantomkia? 27:00
The Robots and How Many Opponents They've Thrown Out of The Arena. Sir Kill-a-Lot: 14 Dantomkia: 9 Matilda: 8 Eruption: 8 Firestorm: 7 Chaos 2: 6 Thermidor: 4 Atomic: 4 Apollo: 4 Bigger Brother: 3 Tsunami: 3 Raging Reality/Raging Nightmare: 3 Gravity: 3 Behemoth: 3 Rapid: 3 Wheely Big Cheese: 2 M2: 2 X-Terminator: 2 Spawn Again: 2 Cyclone: 2 Mr. Psycho: 1 Gemini: 1 General Carnage: 1 Bulldog Breed: 1 St. Agro: 1 Storm II: 1 Judge Shred II: 1 Iron Awe 2.1: 1 Big Nipper: 1 Total - 29 Robots and 101 OOTA Flips 9 Bots - 1 OOTA 5 Bots - 2 OOTAs 6 Bots - 3 OOTAs 3 Bots - 4 OOTAs 1 Bot - 6 OOTAs 1 Bot - 7 OOTAs 2 Bots - 8 OOTAs 1 Bot - 9 OOTAs 1 Bot - 14 OOTAs
2:43 Spy Is Stinger!
Seeing both the older UK series and the more recent BBC reboot really does highlight just how wrong they got it (in my opinion) when they brought it back. No atmosphere whatsoever compared to the original. I think they should have just rebuilt the original arena, used the same lighting cues, intense metal/jungle/breakbeat music throughout and also brought back Craig Charles.
22:58 AND LHE VINNER VIZ LIZZARD!
Battlebots OOTA collection when?
There is a compilation somewhere. you just have to find it
2:02/2:29/3:23/18:10 All of Thermidor's victims
Has any bot thrown more compeditors out of the arena than eruption. ?
Dantomkia currently holds the record at 9. Eruption is at 7 same as firestorm, chaos 2 sits at 6.
Ask Sir Kill-A-Lot Who Has 14 OOTA's.
Jarate NOOOOOOO! 1:43

That woman screech is so irritating it is used in every fight
There’s a lot of flipper bots....are they not allowed to use spinners or what???
They were, they just weren't insanely meta like they are now, Hypno Disk was arguably the best spinner bot during the early series, both UK & US, but they didn't have the success that Firestorm & Chaos 2 did Now you have bots like Carbide that show just how devastating the spinners have become But back in the early wars, they weren't as powerful, even Chaos 2 & Wheely Big Cheese compared to modern bots seems anemic. Flippers were the best, and make up 3 of my top 5 favourite bots, Chaos 2, Firestorm, and Behemoth
Vertical spinners seem to be the most destructive weapons at least in battlebots now, especially endgame
@@TARDISES IIRC Roaming Robots actually banned spinners at some point when they resurrected Robot Wars for the live circuit. This will likely only have given flippers further space to dominate the UK robotic combat meta
Kinda low-brow to upload a badly goofed video, no?
Gotta love everything about Jonathan Pearce
