Always liked Agent Orange, the vertical claw/axe was a unique combo and really had a lot of potential, it's a shame the team never came back with a refined design.
Haha yep, been playing it on and off for about nine years now. Profile pic's a thumbnail from one one of my videos that's God knows how old, just never bothered to change it :P
There were loads of robots Razer could've potentially beaten with ease, no matter what Heat it was in. The producers weren't being biased towards it. And if Razer's opposition was "supposed" to be easy here, why would it have started out against Backstabber (a steep-sided machine that's harder to grab hold of)?
@@ryanodonovan9497 I don't like Razer much, but it was the only convincing robot in this heat. But then the two previous heats each only had one convincing robot in them, too. So I don't think this was rigged, I think it's just a reflection of the relative shortage (in Season 3) of really good robots.
Poor Max Damage. So in old robot wars they don’t do a quick test in the arena to see if the robots move, that is very interesting and I see why they do now
It's unfortunate what happened to Razer in its fight. It was certainly winning until it went wrong and got stuck on the spike. Image how different the rest of the championship could have done. It's a shame they never got a grudge match against Aggrobot.
I don't think Team Razer would've cared about settling the score with either Aggrobot or Inquisitor when it was obvious those machines were inferior. And hey - at least Razer got ahead of Inquisitor to win the Pinball Warrior Tournament in Series 3! With Pussycat, it had the potential to be more competitive, but it turned into a fluke win for the Cold Fusion Team. Fortunately both sides got the battle they hoped for when they fought in that Vengeance battle in Extreme 1. Talking of which, that wasn't a proper grudge match. It was a Vengeance battle in name only - presented as Team Razer wanting revenge for Pussycat's additional damage to Razer after the latter was unable to continue, but the reality was that Ian Lewis' frustration was only something in the heat of the moment and shortly passed. The production by this point were just putting in pseudo-scripted drama here and there to make it more like professional wrestling. Both teams just wanted a battle between them that didn't end in a fluke, which is what they got in the end.
Razer may not have won this Heat, but they sure did correctly predict that something would happen to Matilda as her shell got ripped off in one of the quarterfinal battles!
I always had a feeling that Razer was basically Hakumen from Blazblue. Their both silver coloured and often let their pride be their judgement and sometimes their downfall, Also both come from the United Kingdom.
Maybe so, but the rules state that you can't be locked together with another competitor or pin them in place indefinitely. That's why Sergeant Bash "interfered" - to break it up, thus enforcing that rule. It was out of character for the House Robots to enforce rules when their purpose is just to make others suffer, but that's why Refbot was introduced after this series. There was no other way prior to enforce the rule of separating holds and pins and freeing robots from hazards that weren't supposed to trap them in place.
Very interesting surrounding Agent Orange. think that might be the first split decision from the judges. I personally feel Agent Orange would have won if it handed become immobilised at the end. So inexperienced though! If it had just left Blade on its side to the house robots it would have won easy.
I think I must have been one of the few people who ever DISLIKED Razer! Yes the robot is amazing, well-designed, powerful... but I always felt they were TOO hyped and loved, and they were always most likely going to win no questions asked. Something about the team never really clicked with me either. Sometimes wonder if I'm the only person who ever felt this way though because everyone else I see seems to adore them. ^^;
They were arrogant af and whiny whenever they lost or their precious robot got damaged (the latter I always found especially ridiculous), but the robot just looked so cool and distinctive and was aalways real mainstay of Robot Wars. You can't deny that. Especially given the fluctuation in quality of robots RW has always had, you had to get excited when you saw Razor on the cards
I think the thing is that the only robots that could actually DESTROY other robots in pretty much the entire first 5 series were Razer and Hypnodisc. Flippers, lifters or sheer pushing power, don't do direct damage, and cutting discs and axes usually just make minor dents or small slices in the bodywork. Most battles in the first few series were either lost due to malfunctions, getting pitted, or the house robots getting involved. Then in come Razer and Hypnodisc, who just start literally ripping opponents to pieces. Plus, both had very sleek and stylish designs, and Razer in particular had a very sculpted and detailed design that was far more complex and probably expensive than most other robots. They were guaranteed to become fan favourites because they're just on another level. Both were extremely well thought out designs that combined form and function and unlike a lot of other robots, they made sure that their weapons were actually usable against other robots. Razer in particularly has a aesthetic design that is years ahead of any other robot, both in style and execution. That is why they were quite so hyped even though they kept shitting out early. I love Razer, but I think the problem with Razer as a team is that they seem very ruthless in the way they methodically shred their opponents in the most difficult to repair ways, which can come off a bit cruel, particularly when compared to the sportsmanship shown by a lot of other teams. As for their defensiveness over sustaining damage, I think it's somewhat justified when you consider quite how much time and effort has gone into Razer's aesthetics, with so many precision custom parts. Most other robots, particularly in the early seasons were either entirely functional and minimalist and thus easy to repair, or were cartoonish and clearly decorated for fun, and therefore not really serious or heartbreaking if it gets damaged. Razer's carefully crafted frame must have taken so much more time and dedication, and would have been much more difficult to repair, and so it is that much more painful when it gets properly damaged. This is not to say that other teams didn't put as much effort in, but most teams focused their effort on either a functional robot, or a funny design for a laugh. Razer wanted to make a cool robot, and so their image was that much more important. I think in reality they're very nice people and quite sporting, but they are also very competitive and quite proud so in a competition setting they're only looking out for themselves and not exactly there to make friends.
@@ufoash440 Team Razer weren't "arrogant af". They backed up what they said about themselves by taking the competition seriously, and earned victory fairly using a superior design with additionally superior driving of theirs, which is what you're SUPPOSED to do in order to be the best in this line of competition. Also, saying they were whiny whenever they lost or had their machine damaged is also untrue, or at the very least an exaggeration. Ian Lewis (not Simon Scott or Vinnie Blood) was upset ONE TIME about excessive damage to Razer (albeit wrongfully as you can't complain about any kind of damage when you're entering your machine into a war zone), and moved on from that.
@@BambiTrout Oh well, better that than conning their opponents. Also, Razer's ruthlessness wasn't any problem at all as long as it was morally within the rules, nor was Ian Lewis' frustration with being a recipient of excessive damage justified. No amount of quality, craftsmanship or effort put into building a robot is relevant - whatever you fight with in that arena, you need to be prepared to deal with any kind of potential damage or suffer the consequences, and not complain about it when inflicting damage is practically the whole point of the competition. It's why it was stupid of Mike Franklin of 101 to tell Team Razer in the First World Championship that if his motors were damaged, he wouldn't be able to compete in Series 4 - why would he put himself at risk in the first place by being in a competition where he could've lost more than a battle? Maybe it was Mentorn that chose 101, but surely the team could've said no if there was that much of a risk, right? I certainly wouldn't have chosen 101 as an English representative when literally all its wins prior were from the opposition breaking down by themselves despite being superior in combat. And then he even marked out spots on 101 that Razer could crush without getting the motors! Even if Team Razer only aimed for those spots, how would that eliminate the risk? And how the fuck would Team Razer be able to be _that_ precise from way up in the control booth, with the machines constantly moving around?
I have a heavy disgust towards Razer and thoroughly despise Razer Team. This design makes me throw up. The team was heavily damaging other robots, as well as house robots, but whined about their robot being harmed (please do not speak about the money and the hard work, they clearly did not respect the money and the hard work from Behemoth or house). And also they seem to have had agreement with producers over not being damaged by house bots too much, which adds an insult to injury.
Razer is hands-down my favourite of the old-school bots. Just a shame it kept on breaking down! Not sure if that's more or less heartbreaking than its early exit in series 8! Backstabber's awkward shape also didn't really give it a chance to show off its damaging potential either. Oh well, at least there's pretty much every other thing it entered! Also, was that foreshadowing of the ending of the Southern Eliminator after round 1? Oh yeah, there were other competitors, weren't there? I wonder why they admitted to replacing Daisy with Binky, but not The Parthian Shot with Steg-O-Saw-Us? Maybe it's because Binky was awful and Steg actually did well! I'd like to think Blade (and to a lesser degree Suicidal Tendencies) were in influence on the later drum spinners. Who knows though? It's not like it caused much damage other than superficial stuff to Spike. I doubt Max Damage could have done much even if they had remembered to put the killswitch on. What was that stuff in the pit during that battle though? Shame the middleweight competition didn't really pan out. Really cool to see Tentomushi in this, and to see Lisa Winters still competing in the modern BattleBots with Plan X and Mega Tento. The arena spikes were such BS though.
After Razer went out, Series 8 wore out its welcome. I mean, just the very first fight and you get the exact opposite of what could have been a great start to the new era of RW.
Sayeth Vexus after hearing about razer far after i first watched battlebots and how legendary it was, i was dissapointed that of all things it had to face it faced taz bot, the bot that was made to command bots whilst being incredibly versitile, and holy hell did taz bot command him (it wouldve lost to biohazard though, lets be real here, it probably couldnt get under it)
Sayeth Vexus i think blade and scuicidal tendencies inspired storms little blade, as the idea was to push the bot up, and storm could do exactly that, the damage potential mightve been little drummer boy? (I forget how effective ldb was)
Backstabber seemed immobile to me, its wheels weren't moving. Also, The Parthian Shot was replaced by Flipper- Steg replaced T-Wrecks (spelling might be wrong). Very strange neither was noted, probably a timing thing.
I am pretty confident I am right in saying Razer drove themselves into the pit. They brought it back to get some ratings but they were not going to want to face robots such as Carbide.
I don't think it's fair that Max Damage was eliminated the way it was, as literally the only reason it didn't start was that its safety link wasn't inserted before the fight. I just find it harshly dismissive for such a simple memory lapse. I'd understand if the robot had mechanical problems that required too much time to fix, but then Pain suffered from such in Series 2 and yet _it_ had a second chance to get ready for the Gauntlet. Why couldn't Max Damage be given the same just by having Darren Cunningham run in there, insert the power link, run out again and have both robots back in their starting positions for a restart?
By the looks of things S3 had a pretty intense filming schedule - after the accident they had to cancel a load of side competition activity to stay on schedule, and iirc the Undertaker team complained about being rushed about by the production crew. Dunno if this was filmed before or after the accident but either way the production crew probably weren't looking fondly on any slowdown in filming and from their perspective it was 'well, you knew the rules, if you didn't put the link in that was on you'.
@@akjackson9326 Sadly that makes all the more sense. It's amazing Series 3 turned out as well as it did from the looks of how Mentorn were treating competitors and their crowd.
The Razer team said they wanted to "Pop" Matilda's body. If you want to see that, look up Razer Vs Onslaught from one of the Christmas Specials from Series 4.

Gotta hand it to Blade - a robot that cost £146, maybe the cheapest out of all of the robots in robot wars, and it wins the heat with such a simple design made from a lawnmower. Completely impressed.
The reason it was so cheap to make was because the majority of it was made from scrap car parts and a mobility motor scooter, the steering was made with an old windscreen wiper motor attached to a shopping trolly wheel, the main drive wheels were from a mobility scooter, the lawnmower blade was powered by a car starter motor and the majority of the electronics compromised of old car relay switches attached to the Controller receiver. The bulk of the cost was from eating Kebabs.... and the Perspex lid was kicked out of a bus shelter just round the corner from where it was built
This was the era of Robot Wars when everyone was still working out what worked and what didn't, so you could come in with a limited budget and if you got the fundamentals right perform exceptionally well. Blade definitely benefitted from a weak heat and avoiding Razer in it, but it was sturdily built, reliable and had a bit of pushing power to it, and as a result I'd wager they'd win a fight against the majority of S3 robots.
@@akjackson9326 oh definitely we would have lost against Razer, was only a Perspex sheet on the top of the bot and we had to weld a crack back together with a soldering iron after Shunt smacked the top with a hammer, the only reliability issues we had with blade was the steering (windscreen wiper) would cut out sometimes and when the chain for the weapon snapped a couple of times
Most of them are spinning and dancing all over the place uselessly like drunk drivers. Control and driving is everything here; Beautiful weapons do nothing if perfect control is impossible; Most of them seem drifting on the ice, losing time and opportunities. This art's next step will be fine tuning, not prehistorical heavy use of brutal force.
If there's one series of Robot Wars that simply had too many low-quality forgettable competitors, it's definitely Series 3 Without the breakdowns, Razer would easily have breezed through this heat as the quality of the other competitors is mediocre
if reliability and bad luck didn't plague razer, I reckon they would've won that 3rd series, just look at the world champs from this series to see what would happen when they faced chaos 2.
I don't like Razer, but it was the only really convincing bot in this heat. And the Razer team did somewhat redeem themselves in my eyes by threatening Matilda. Too bad it broke down in the second round.
At least it put up a fight against Blade. Watch the Reserve Rumble from Series 2's The Grudge Matches - Jim Struts, the one walker robot in that battle (which I don't know how the team expected to win anything with something like that) won the battle just by being mobile throughout because not one of FOUR other opponents could attack it properly when it should've been easy!
Always liked Agent Orange, the vertical claw/axe was a unique combo and really had a lot of potential, it's a shame the team never came back with a refined design.
Haha yep, been playing it on and off for about nine years now. Profile pic's a thumbnail from one one of my videos that's God knows how old, just never bothered to change it :P
This is the first ever episode of Robot Wars I saw when I was a kid. I was instantly hooked, hehe.
2019 finds the person behind "Tentomushi", Lisa Winter, adjudicating in "BattleBots".
Aggrobot wasn't a destructive robot but I liked its appearance. Blade is like a prototype drumbot where it had the idea but not quite the execution.
Who could possibly forget a robot with a face like the Angry Beavers?

'Will it prove another Aggrovating experience for Ian Lewis and co.' I see what you did there
Blade looks like a very early drum spinner
Should have a start rule, that each robot must start and move from place before any damage is dealt for a fair competition.

I don't know about that...
Razer is my all time favourite, No one came close to their crushing power.
It's unfortunate what happened to Razer in its fight. It was certainly winning until it went wrong and got stuck on the spike. Image how different the rest of the championship could have done. It's a shame they never got a grudge match against Aggrobot.
I don't think Team Razer would've cared about settling the score with either Aggrobot or Inquisitor when it was obvious those machines were inferior.

It was a Vengeance battle in name only - presented as Team Razer wanting revenge for Pussycat's additional damage to Razer after the latter was unable to continue, but the reality was that Ian Lewis' frustration was only something in the heat of the moment and shortly passed.

Their both silver coloured and often let their pride be their judgement and sometimes their downfall,
Also both come from the United Kingdom.
13:01 wtf, Bash? Never know, Blade might have ended up in the pit if you hadn't interfered...

Yeah. The result had little to do with which was the best bot, it just depended on who the house thugbots chose to attack first.
Gotta hand it to Blade - a robot that cost £146, maybe the cheapest out of all of the robots in robot wars, and it wins the heat with such a simple design made from a lawnmower. Completely impressed.
The reason it was so cheap to make was because the majority of it was made from scrap car parts and a mobility motor scooter, the steering was made with an old windscreen wiper motor attached to a shopping trolly wheel, the main drive wheels were from a mobility scooter, the lawnmower blade was powered by a car starter motor and the majority of the electronics compromised of old car relay switches attached to the Controller receiver. The bulk of the cost was from eating Kebabs.... and the Perspex lid was kicked out of a bus shelter just round the corner from where it was built
This was the era of Robot Wars when everyone was still working out what worked and what didn't, so you could come in with a limited budget and if you got the fundamentals right perform exceptionally well. Blade definitely benefitted from a weak heat and avoiding Razer in it, but it was sturdily built, reliable and had a bit of pushing power to it, and as a result I'd wager they'd win a fight against the majority of S3 robots.
@@akjackson9326 oh definitely we would have lost against Razer, was only a Perspex sheet on the top of the bot and we had to weld a crack back together with a soldering iron after Shunt smacked the top with a hammer, the only reliability issues we had with blade was the steering (windscreen wiper) would cut out sometimes and when the chain for the weapon snapped a couple of times

any fans of razor should watch a modern quantum fight.
Enter Aggrobot
I went to Wilmington Grammar for Boys, Mr. Brooker from the Spike team was a very nice bloke, rubbish robot though.
Most of them are spinning and dancing all over the place uselessly like drunk drivers. Control and driving is everything here; Beautiful weapons do nothing if perfect control is impossible; Most of them seem drifting on the ice, losing time and opportunities. This art's next step will be fine tuning, not prehistorical heavy use of brutal force.
OH NO ITS RAZZOR
nice.
17:07 lmao
If there's one series of Robot Wars that simply had too many low-quality forgettable competitors, it's definitely Series 3
Without the breakdowns, Razer would easily have breezed through this heat as the quality of the other competitors is mediocre
if reliability and bad luck didn't plague razer, I reckon they would've won that 3rd series, just look at the world champs from this series to see what would happen when they faced chaos 2.
I don't like Razer, but it was the only really convincing bot in this heat. And the Razer team did somewhat redeem themselves in my eyes by threatening Matilda. Too bad it broke down in the second round.
5:50 😂
house robots are horrid. they take ALL the impartiality out of the competition.
What? Aggro Bot win because xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD?
Max Damage slow blocky bot with chainsaw, worst idea u can have :P
Why the fuck is the battle music so low volumed ?
Spike has got to be one of the shittest robots ever.
At least it put up a fight against Blade. Watch the Reserve Rumble from Series 2's The Grudge Matches - Jim Struts, the one walker robot in that battle (which I don't know how the team expected to win anything with something like that) won the battle just by being mobile throughout because not one of FOUR other opponents could attack it properly when it should've been easy!
