  So, they'e launched a new series of Robot Wars on BBC 2, but no Craig Charles or Phillipa Forrester   :@ :@
  
  Dara O'Brian the new presenter, & a woman called Angela Scanlon (never heard of her either) as the pit reporter
  
  This just won't be the same, they're in a new arena as well which looks awful compared to the original
  
  Only 4 house robots, Matilda, Shunt, Dead Metal & Sir Killalot, so it looks as if Sgt Bash, Mr Psycho & the other one which name i've forgot, are no-more

  New robot Carbide, very very destructive weapon, impressive win in the first show
  
  I hope some of my favourite robots will be appearing on the show, Mortis(if it still exists), Chaos 2 & Hypnodisc

  The other one was called Growler (ooer) watched the first battle was gutted the Razer went out first, thought that if you disabled a clusterbot you disabled the whole machine which meant Nuts would have been out first then it was between the two in the pit for most aggresive to go through. I hope Bigger Brother is in this new series see how much little Joe and his sister Ellie have grown up since it finished, I also  liked Chaos 2 and Hypnodisc.

  Mostly liked the first episode of the new series, apart from some minor things. I'm not overly fond of the increased focus on showing the people and the new arena isn't as good but not a bad start. Genuine surprise with one of the best robots of the original series going out so quickly though, but Nuts was entertaining (pointless but entertaining) and Carbide is a promising new robot.

  I do agree with that mate, too much focus on the new arena & stuff isn't great, I can't say Dara O'Briain did an awful job, but he'll never be as good as Craig Charles
  
  Hoping more of the original robots return, Razer was just shocking, Behemoth put on a great show, but Carbide just killed it
  
  Would be good to see Chaos 2, or even a newer & upgraded Chaos 3 in action, maybe some new house robots as well

  How bad was Sunday's episode?, some absolutely awful matches, including one where both robots did pretty much nothing, there were a lot of mechanical issues in the robots, which really is a bit unacceptable
  
  Overall Thor should have won, can't even remember who won, I think it was Mr Speed Squared?, was such a waste

  The last episode wasn't the best. Mr Speed Squared was good in its first fight, if only they could have kept the weapon working for the other fights (they could tend won). They probably, and ironically, needed more speed to avoid opponents to get the weapon up to proper fighting speed as well.
  Was a poor selection overall though so hopefully the next episodes lineup will be more interesting.

  A vast improvement on last week, Apollo vs Storm 2 was a pretty entertaining battle, especially with Apollo flipping both house robots Dead Metal & Matilda, PP3D with a pretty powerful (at times) weapon, put a dent in the scoop of Shunt, Eruption with a good flipper as well
  
  Final battle, Apollo vs Storm 2, Apollo flipping Shunt as well, 3 out of 4, wonder if they could have flipped Sir Killalot
  
  Apollo deserved winners, flipping Storm 2 out of the arena for the win

  Last Sunday's episode was definitely an improvement on the previous episode. Apollo was good (they really need to work on making that thing reliable for future fights though) and PP3D was good and quite deadly (when it wasn't going in a circle).
  Wasn't overly fond of Storm 2 though, technically a very good machine but way too boring. All it did was push people towards the house robots and the so called interchangeable weapons wasn't shown off (so glad the more interesting Apollo went through).

  This weeks episode was a bit hit & miss, Thermidor, a pretty powerful robot from Robot Wars past was truly shocking & did nothing, Gabriel were a very very gentle giant of a robot, Pulsar, eliminated early got a second chance after another robot lost & were destroyed by fire so had to forfeit their place, Pulsar reinstated, their spinner weapon was pretty powerful, the winners after not making it past their first battle
