His robot was Bolt From The Blue. He’s still bitter that they lost after alllllllllll these years.

Such fun.

Thermidor II was built so locally to me growing up it was practically a neighbour. I don't know where or exactly when this photo was taken but it was somewhere in Norfolk!

My dad died in April last year - I was going through the items I inherited from him today for the first time and was so happy to find this among them.

Moved out of a workshop/storage unit today and this pic was snapped as I loaded the remnants of OG Pulsar. I actually have 90% of its chassis, incl mad amounts of spare parts. Spare discs, a complete spare front end, 3 sets of side armour. My new workshop space will soon be epic and I'm quite tempted to rebuild it for the live scene in '27. It's built stronger than Magnetar, just held back by weak primitive brushless.

The drum bearings are still sweet-as!

Anyway, thought someone here might get a kick out of seeing what a decade of pilfering and moving on does to a robot.

Discussion I still think the Robot Wars reboot was cancelled too soon

259 Upvotes

I know the reboot had its problems, but I don't think it was beyond saving. The robots were getting more powerful, the production looked brilliant and there was clearly still an audience for it. I'd rather they had changed the format than cancelled it altogether. Would you have watched another series?
