My word, the difference between Robot Wars and Battlebots is quite stark. Battlebots seems to be more of a competition, with some room for mercy for a fellow bot, but Robot Wars is akin to the Roman Gladiatorial arena - pure metallic and circuitry based sadism!

This was a massive part of British Pop Culture in the late 90s/early 2000's. We used talk about what went on with Robot Wars on the school play ground when returning to school on the Mondays along with Football and Wrestling.

Razer driving into the pit after such a merciless victory always makes me chuckle.

[ChildOfTheWilderness]

You have to appreciate the Bigger Brother story. The fact they got absolutely trashed by Hypno Disc and still managed to win, but also the amount of people backstage who ran around to help rebuild them so they could be ready for the Grand Final against Razer was lovely to see.

The only downside is we never got to see the fight everyone really wanted - Razer vs Hypno Disc

[ToastGhost]

Hypnodisk vs Bigger Brother will always be one of the best fights ever to grace this sport on any show or in any tournament.

[SasquatchMelee]

Let's face it: Bigger Brother=Courage... Even after being severely damaged Bigger Brother kept fighting... AND WON!

[RoadRunnerMeep]

The sound of Hypnodisc whirring up from the weight of the flywheel was scary

[antenant]

I remember when Hypnodisc first arrived on Robot Wars. Until then, most of the destruction weapons had been... well.. pretty much useless. Flippers and good driving dominated, with weapons designed to damage doing very little actual damage other than scratches. And then this evil thing came on and literally destroyed the robot it was up against. We were in awe.

Razor smashing that poor bot to chunks and then falling into the pit is funny karma. Robot Wars doesn't seem much for sportsmanship but even the commentators were like "Damn!"

[Divizoro]

As much as I love Bigger Brother, seeing Hypnodisc lose that fight still hurts my soul to this day

[locallegend]

Hypnodisk would if won that last fight if the big brother driver wasnt so aggressive and determined to survive. What a show!

[jayday]

bless the little girl who couldn't watch her robot win.. pure innocence it's something all adults lack made me smile

[Alola_Hanna-Barbera_TMS_Fan]

I did not know that Mousetrap has an entanglement device in that spring. That is impressive in stopping the blade of S3 till it worked again on its own

[stephaniewatkins]

Honestly, this was exactly as thrilling as I remember when watching it as a kid. Incredible show- I really miss it!

[VanguardRaven]

The fact alone that Bigger Brother survived the brutality, was able to remain functional and overpower Hypnodisc to pit it, says something about the quality of the machine itself. Any lesser machine would've had its innards strewn across the arena and the chassis in pieces long before Hypnodisc started losing power.

Working with what you have to overcome the odds, even with a busted weapon and gashes in the armour that has saved it to that point. Higher speed, agility, drive and grip to overcome the opponent is how they won, after weapons became irrelevant. As long as you can still move, it's never over.

Razor is just so lethal. Always enjoy seeing him and hypno.

In 200 years' time, society will reflect upon how we, the present-day populace, managed to derive amusement from the evident sufferings of our robotic companions.

That Atomic v Hypno Disc fight... my toes still curl at those hits. It was doing so well until it wasn't!!

[evanhanley]

This is why you shouldn't underestimate the spinning disc. Series 5 was incredible for this.
