Don't think anything can beat Hypershock vs Gigabyte as the best KO moment. Absolutely perfect hit, launching to the roof and complete and utter destruction... LOVE IT!
That was utter carnage, like Jesus if you understand a little bit about material physics. There are very few stronger ways to secure things together other than welding it together. The stress/ strain ratio on even halfway decently thick bolts is like hundreds of lbs of pressure to cause them to catastrophically fail like that lol especially 8 of them!
When Gigabyte felt apart in a million pieces, it was the most brutal, savage and beautiful KO I have ever seen in this sport. The whole arena was in pure trance of shock.

@@silasmcgee3647 I'm already partial to it, you don't have to sell me on it! XD For that matter, you could say the same thing about the Gigabyte/Hypershock hit.

Long story short, they're both amazing fights with the same moral: being a brave underdog is cool, but it can also mean getting your face ripped off.
@@margaretthemagnificent The crazy thing about hyper shock and gigabyte is that the way in which gigabytes shell came off has never happened before, he hit it so hard that the bolts that held the shell to the pulley literally stripped through their taps

If you dont find that epic, maybe you just dont like battlebots.
@@talonx4266 imo it was a pretty balanced fight near the end.. hypershock had radio issues so it could only drive straight while weakly turning, and gigabyte could still move (while wobbly). it just happened that gigabyte decided to stand right in the axis for hypershock to sweep in with the ko
@@talonx4266 If you don't think it's cool that one several hundred pound robot hit another so hard that both of its halves were ripped apart after being flung into the air then I don't know what to tell you
Our future robot overlords will remember how we forced their ancestors to compete to the death for our own entertainment and bloodlust, and they will have no mercy...
I know this is probably an unpopular opinion, but for some reason I see since robots would be fine with this. As they’re hyper analytical and would probably logically surmise: The battle bots have no sentience or sapience of any measurable kind. It’s a sport so it’s for entertainment. They’re not intentionally torturing the bots just because they can. I think since they wouldn’t detect malicious intent, they might let this one pass. Especially since even they’d probably admit that it was entertaining if only slightly. Lol
@@eekadookatybern4296tantrums completely OP because it can destroy the flipping system of most robots. It’s little spinny punchy things obliterates the offensive mechanics of most opponents
Well, it's Max Mattham, the Creator of Sewer Snake/Stinger, and he's know for being a bit… temperamental while he's driving. He focus so much that when he lose that focus it's like cutting his flow. He did just the same in Bronco's OTA in WCII
There are other leagues with other weight classes. I am not going to rec one but look around. I watched like 10 hours of live coverage a few weeks ago between qualifying and finals.
There WAS robot wars, but thats been dead for a while unfortunately, shame too since things like the house robots were amazing additions to an already great sport to watch lol
Yeah i found it kinda weird, like winning against the kid was the highlight of their life. I get celebrating, but they could have been a little more modest about it.
@@Frosty_tha_Snowman I for one took GREAT PLEASURE in seeing Perfect Phoenix becoming Perfect Frizbee. Especially since they defeated my man, SubZero, prior. :P
I think the best part of this is Bill Jennings coaching his son or grandson about battlebots, you can even see a resemblance between Phoenix and Tombstone
Cobalt ripping Ghost Raptor into pieces was probably my favorite of all time 😂 that - or Sawblaze hammer sawing Minotaurs battery - or Red Devil sawing into Witch Doctors battery... one of those.
my favorite's gotta be when captain shredderator managed to meet tombstone with such force that tombstone literally tore itself to shreds like a final boss in its death throes
I started watching BattleBots when it debuted on Comedy Central & absolutely loved it but stopped watching when it moved networks. Seeing these highlights makes me remember why I absolutely love it!
Something most people don't know is having a powerful heavy spinner in the front adds a lot of gyro scoping effect. It making turning the bot VERY hard. So, Tantrum having a variable barrel position gives it a major mobility advantage in almost all the fights.
The design of Perfect Phoenix is prob taken from the old comedy central battlebots middleweight's absolute menace: Hazard. Hazard had a 17-1 record where that 1 KO was by none other than Bronco's predecessors: T-Minus.
@@komnishura Perfect Phoenix usually has a much bigger blade than that, but I think because one of their motors broke, they had to run a much smaller one. But yeah, it's a pretty old bot (used to be called Brutality) that may have started out fighting slightly lighter bots than there are in BattleBots--like maybe 220 pounds instead of 250.
I still remember when Tantrum was a relatively unknown flipper whose flipping mechanism failed half the time. Amazing to see how much work the team put into turning it into a championship winning robot.
I think the tantrum fight would have been better if replaced with a number of other KOs, first one that comes to mind is the Tombstone vs Witch Doctor fight for me
The second match really shows how far this competition has come. Not only because the range of participants’ ages have increased, but also because the advances in different strategies and techniques. Perfect Phoenix was very similar to Hazard, the middleweight champion from the first season of Battlebots, yet was easy pickings for the new tech.
Don't think anything can beat Hypershock vs Gigabyte as the best KO moment. Absolutely perfect hit, launching to the roof and complete and utter destruction... LOVE IT!
Cobalt vs Ghost Raptor is one of the best KO's imo.
Minotaur vs Tombstone was leagues better
tombstone/biteforce

That Uppercut/Sawblaze fireball explosion is still insane
Like Free Shipping And Kraken
Art is a Explosion
How does that even happen? Like is that just a hit straight to the battery by Uppercut?
@@jameshancock1528 Sawblaze has (or had) a fuel-tank for their flame-thrower and the hit went directly to it.
Fr something straight out of beyblade lol

I’ve always been partial to Tombstone lodging Tantrum into the cage pillar, but you can make a case for this level of destruction.

The driver on Tantrum absolutely SLAYED that round. That was 100% control.
Fr, definitely one of my favorite KOs and bots. I love the design and how it attacks
last fight was so epic they had to turn it into a documentary.
how is it an epic fight when it is just one robot beating the crap out of the other one though?

That Tantrum fight was a driving masterclass.
Tantrum doesnt look all that threatening until it starts shredding its opponent appart.
i thought it was gonna be a wipeout for tantrum but this goes to show that the weapon isnt all that goes into a bot
Yeah, tantrums drive is absolutely incredible, and he deserves to be one of my favorites
it's so fast and agile + the weapon while powerful, does not get in the way of driving
in my opinion tantrum is one of the most balanced bots
Reminds me of Pochita's dog form, you think "aw cute" before seeing it cut through whatever's in it's way.

YEEEESSSS!!! COME ON DISCOVERY! Please green light the next World Championship! We need more AWESOME Robot Combat Action! LET'S GOOOOOOO!!! 😮
Cobalt's driver really threw a tantrum lol
He was MAD 😂
He got properly outclassed.
Tantrum had the best fight I've seen, and even as a Brit I was cheering for them. Great drive.

noice
I love the fact that Will's last thought before that hit was "full beans". What a legend.
We need more shows like Battlebots. That play out in real time, and not rely on scripting like reality tv.
Bro you're talking about sports.
LMAO
@ryanain_air it is a sport just not a traditional one
There are other leagues with other weight classes. I am not going to rec one but look around. I watched like 10 hours of live coverage a few weeks ago between qualifying and finals.

Imagine being a battle bots referee
How to watch the laws of physics unfold in the most entertaining way possible.
Wow....they didn't have to literally roast that kid lol
😂😂 i swear. Dude looked so devastated already
The new Roomba home security looks awesome
@FupaDoncic LMFAOOO, this makes so much sense
😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Cobalt/Tantrum fight was textbook. I'm a Brit but I still cheered at the shot that took Cobalt out of the arena. Great driving.
I just love watching robots beat the bolts out of each other.
(PS. If the robot uprising has started, ignore that)
Seeing a group of over 6 fully grown men pop off SO HARD over defeating a singular child is so freaking funny 😂
A child driving a terrible bot which makes their pop even sadder if u ask me
Am I the only one to feel sad about the kid operating Perfect Phoenix, alone while the horde that operates the other bot yells like crazy?
At least it was not robot wars were the house robots shred whatever is left of your bot afterwards
I felt bad too
I hope he’s doing well ❤
Yeah i found it kinda weird, like winning against the kid was the highlight of their life.
I get celebrating, but they could have been a little more modest about it.
@@mightymacaqueThey're Brazilians
Just discovered this...hope it's a sign of good things to come.
That finishing blow on Hypershock vs Gigabyte was one of the most brutal knockouts in battlebots history, if not one the best it's THE best!
Absolutely insane. I remember watching Battle Bots on Spike TV as a kid and loving the chaos! I wish this wish still a weekly aired league....
>No Tombstone
you're missing a majority of the best KO's, man.
They did pick Ray at the receiving end of a KO at 3:51

I’m getting anxious 😬
This is how you get kids interested in engineering, design, and hands on work.
Uppercut vs Sawblaze will always be my number 1 favourite Battlebots match-fhat explosion was insane-it shook the darn battlebox!
This makes me nostalgic for Robot Wars
That Hypershock VS. Gigabyte fight and KO is a Classic, a Legend.
More seasons please! Arena is ready to go, bots are built, we just need the green light!
The bronco and hydra fight made me cry because Bronco was my favorite flipper bot😢
I shed a tear in the free shipping fight, realizing he might be done for
I hope the new season of BattleBots will be back on Dish network soon. My husband and I absolutely love the show and never missed an episode.
I wish battlebots was in Canada then I would often travel to it 😢
I know eh Canada sucks for things like this but is awsome for other cool live events..
It doesn't air over there?

To think this all started with Robot Wars in the uk in the nineties ! Amazing !!!
In Soviet Battlebots, Tantrum throws YOU!
Hypershocks driver did thst with fumbed controls, respect
Considering the BIG news we just got today, I can't wait for BattleBots!
I have been watching the robot races for 8 years. my favorites are Bronco , minotaur and tombstone , Greetings from Greece
Minotaur is badass...
Cobalt really did throw a tantrum 🤣
I love this, makes me realize how violent my inner self really is.
My love for battlebots is immesurable.
We need more battle bots I’m a big fan
The way that one judge was just smiling as he watched every fight go down. He's having such a great time

This is so sick😂
Last fight was sick. Destroying that robot in the mid air was extreamly insane :)
Kinda sad Cobalt vs Ghost Raptor wasn't in this, but a good video package nonetheless.
To be fair, that was less of a KO and more of a Fatality.

True, so thin that weapon also. Is it made for a different weight class?

Love Battlebots and love how the announcers really get into it. I do!!!!
This show has changed so much since the 90's. Go back and watch those old matches and just see how much it's changed
I remember that many viable bots in the early seasons were literal metal boxes. They just pushed stuff around and that won matches 🤣
Keep it up with the uploads
Edit: This is the last clip from Discovery Channel
This dorkfest is pretty fun to watch!
I'm here becuase the sitting President said this is how we settle arguments in this country. This is badass.
Hypershock's disassembly of Gigabyte is one of the greatest moments in sports history. Not just combat robotics, *all* sports.
Fantastic ❤
Sawblaze is still my favourite battlebot despite the loss.
This is so LIT!!!! BOOM!!!😛😛😛😛💥💥💥💥

Yessss Ready to lose and destroy 😂😂😂

Suprised it's not another "WHAT DID RIPTIDE DO NOW??" video

Nah, Season 8 may have more. :P We're kinda out of Riptide drama for now.
When is the next season! It has been forever!
How's about we greenlight Season 8 so we can all enjoy more of this?

Give us a new season Discovery, it's time! :)
I ❤ BATTLE BOTS!!!
The first fight was like "Hydra and Bronco" vs "Bronco"
is that POCHITA?!
When does it come on discovery channel this season. Husband loves it
I wanna see Orbitron takes on the best of Battlebots!!!
Can we appreciate that when Gigabyte went flying, it crashed into the BattleBots sign, breaking and knocking it down? How cinematic is that?
