Uploaded on time, what a novelty. I thought I couldn't feel more sorry for a robot than Chompalot but Thor proved me wrong.

I WAS TEAM APOLLO ALL THE WAY AND IT PAYED OFF, NOW GIVE US A SEASON 2

[darylcastillo]

Flipped over 3 of the 4 house robots with ease, the only robot to KO Storm 2 and TR2 on television and legitimately outlasted Carbide in the final - Apollo are deserving champions.

[Sumi-e]

Very exciting finale, Apollo really did well throughout the battles

[SougoUltimateSadist]

oh dint know robot wars came back, time to search for episodes

[geckopubg]

i want series 2 already, i was hooked

[Avonvalley]

Wish the battles were 5 minutes like in the old series

[TheHumbleFellow]

It took 12 years, but Typhoon 2 has finally been dethroned.

[leevancleef]

get some more battlebots in there like Nightmare, Tombstone, Warhead, and Bronco

Brilliant return for Robot Wars and an awesome Grand Final with back-and-forth adrenaline-fueled action from great machines. And in the end it went to Apollo who really deserved that one, and are now up there with Roadblock, Panic Attack, Chaos 2 and Razer as well-deserving UK Champions. Thank God that for the first time since the 5th Wars, there were no underhanded tactics, flawed rules that were exploitable or political conspiracies involved (which is why I didn't include Tornado or Typhoon 2 in my previous sentence). It's shocking that Razer fell out in the first round the way it did, but to be honest, this entire series felt like one of those franchise reboots that focuses mainly on the new rising stars as the torch is passed to them whilst paying some respect to the old veterans, considering that none of the Heat winners were in any of the previous wars.

In my little opinion, the fights on "Battlebots" is much more amazing and much, much more impressive!!! the commentator need scream more in the battles for more excite... For the rest, a good video!

Greetings from Venezuela!

When you outlast carbide you deserve to be champions

[wowthatsawesome]

Apollo won out of pure luck but that's the way competition goes. Would've been nice to see what damage carbide would've done if the blade didn't stop working

[DavidNightjet]

I'm just here because of Battlebots.

[megamania]

I wish storm 2 got the wild card, and longtime fans should know why I think this.

Robot Wars began in 1998. Should the 2017 series of the reboot be successful as the previous one and it saw a third series in 2018, then there is a chance that Robot Wars' 20th anniversary will be celebrated on TV.

hi there is a video that has been uploaded by zucchini called apollo tribute #2, that shows team apollos robot, apollo, being the cause of 9/11 which i and others find very offensive to team apollo and the unfortunate victims of 9/11. plus i belive that it has not been given permission by you the bbc to use the footage shown in the video. youtube has adviced me to inform the licence holders of the original footage, in oder to get it removed

[henry]

...why the fuck do they put the opposing teams right next to each other in the box?

[annihilator]

matilda? lol, it was destroyed by razor? i missed a lot..

[benmurch]

Only thing good about this series is Razer, Behemoth and Jonathen Pearce

[OKMWrld]

Bring back Chaos 2, Razer and Firestorm to destroy all these skrubs 😅
