I loved this show because it was one of the ones that my brother and I actually both liked. I liked the technological aspect of it and he liked the battle aspect of it and we both liked the competition aspect.
Ok, time for some "What If" What If: Hammerhead/Iron Awe managed to flip over typhoon and win. in the former's case iron awe would eat it for breakfast, so in either case Iron Awe goes through to the semis and faces....Thermidor 2. tough fight for sure but Thermidor is literally made of ground clearence and as Prizephita showed in S5, it can be flipped around easily. i'd say iron awe could just about take them. But then you get to Atomic. much better wedge, and design in general. out goes iron awe. Atomic 2 in the final. they face X-terminator 3, and get promptly shredded. i mean it would be close, a well placed flip and not re-righting them ("shakes fist at tsunami") would be the end of it. but i think the vertical disc would do tremendous damage and probably destroy Atomic. leaving X-terminator to face Storm 2 in what would be a great finale. the problem is i see it being exactly what happened with Tornado. the scoop being strong enough to withstand the flywheel and xterminator being too slow to do anything but get shoved and shunted around till it ran out of juice or got pitted. Tornado would probably put on the scoop for atomic and give them a good fight ultimately winning. though if atomic wasnt too badly beaten up by x-terminator it could stand a chance. What If: Bigger Brother beat Iron Awe rear end takes the brunt of typhoon's hit. tip over. BB wins no problem. Thermidor wouldnt be much of a challenge though it all depends on ian's driving. and Atomic would likely be their downfall in which case ctrl c, ctrl v. IF They somehow beat atomic X-terminator would annihilate them since a vertical disc would just do too much damage. the fight with tornado would then be decided on how badly x-terminator obliterated them. but Atomic would probably beat them before all that. What If: Hammerhead won the heat (lol) Thermidor wins first semi battle, gets obliterated by Atomic. ctrl c, ctrl v
I think x-terminator might actually have had a chance against storm 2. One of the big reasons for its crappy performance against tornado was due to how soundly typhoon 2 thrashed them earlier, and the fact that the team hadn't really bothered to make any significant repairs as it wouldn't matter if they lost or won at that point.
Bigger Brother was much better than Atomic and would have easily won that fight, and its armor was strong enough to beat X-Terminator. Bigger Brother would have ended up reaching the final and losing to Storm 2 if it hadn't been flipped out by Iron-Awe.
@@NightHawk12to81 i disagree, it held up well to hypnodisc but that was horizontal, i think the vertical flywheel would just do too much damage. and their flipper was still an arm rather than a panel like Tsunami so one solid hit to the front side disables their only way of really winning. And sorry, i love BB but Atomic with the wide front blade would easily out-flip them,
@@lilsunny7399 No chance. Atomic wouldn't have had much of a hope against Bigger Brother. Bigger Brother had the more powerful flipper and the better driver.
27:11 I remember losing interest at that point and going to the toilet. I then heard my parents scream in the living room. It's only now that I get to live one of the most awkward moments in TV history. You couldn't make it up.
I have seen do many teams like that! Jamie from Coyote was on team PP3D in series 8 and Tiberius is Sam Smith from Carbide. Loads of teams are like that.
I would have liked to see Gravity win its heat, it's such an entertaining bot. But I have to admit Hard as Nails thoroughly deserved its win, it's just so well-engineered and efficient, just gathers up the opposition and dumps them gently in the pit. And it has the great merit of depriving the house thugbots of any victims to beat to death.
Always a classic episode, but have to give a shoutout to that first melee- *Typhoon 2 doesn't spin for a solid minute and a half* "I don't know if you've noticed, but Typhoon 2 is not spinning" *Typhoon 2 finally gets up to speed, but flails helplessly on its side* "That's what you need to see! TYPHOON 2, IS STILL MOBILE" Never change JP, never change.
I'm thankful that didn't happen, cause I never ever liked Bigger Brother and they would've gotten to at least Round 2 of the semi-finals if they won that fight.
17:23 Personally I would've put Xenomorph through instead of Hammerhead 2. Hammerhead had a long period of immobility after their flipper broke, and I didn't see them getting stuck in as much as Xenomorph. Ah well.
And I thought Colossus would do better after Series 6 with the self righting bars added. And yet the flipper failed to work. And if Bigger Brother righted it seconds earlier, then Typhoon 2 would've gone out. I wonder what they did with Colossus.
@@burzaburza2970 Yeah. That spoiled me, and kinda ruins the series for me. I just don't like Typhoon. Not sure what could beat it, maybe Tornado with its wedge front on or Storm 2, i.e something really solid that would just hit it hard - did it ever meet them? But there was a lot of luck in all the initial 4-robot heats, quite often a bot would get through by sheer luck when a better bot was picked off.
Bigger Brother went out in round 2 again. Some triumph return they had. 3-time semi finalist and a grand final for Bigger Brother, but they didn't make it far in the 7th wars. Back to the lower seeds for them.
25:41 ah, but you're forgetting the fact it's made out of carbide steel, which is much, much tougher than whatever soft 4mm of steel your bot supposedly went through.
I cant see big brother being able to catch typhoon. I think they would of survived to Jd. But if typhoon was spinning properly ( by which point this time it was). It wernt being flipped
They were bloody lucky there. One flip in that first round melee and it would have never even spun at all and no one would have ever seen what it was about.
MasterofMayhem1394 yeah but properly this was their debut, they competed in other events and other weight classes but this was Typhoon as everybody knows it.
Depended on how quickly Typhoon would have got it's spinner up to power. If it survived for the first 15 seconds without getting flipped I think it would win easily
Typhoon 2 did very little in its first battle. If Big Brother had attacked it before the other two, it could have fallen at the first stage. A What could have been...
@@Giratina70 You must be a sad person then for hating on two nice kids. The robot wasn't remotely overrated, they used Hypno discs poor driving skills and unreliability against it. Don't be so salty.
@@metalbat8414 Maybe so, but the fact they didn't get knocked out by Hypno was pure luck. Also, they never really replicated their success from that series - Series 6 was alright, but they stunk in the semi-finals that season. Everything else was really poor. THAT'S why I think they're overrated. As for the kids, they might be nice kids, but they were terrible losers and acted like brats sometimes (case in point after they lost to Razer in the next fight after Hypno). I think the show kind of egged this on a bit, but they were bad losers. And before you say that "they're kids", were the kids from Chaos 2, Panic Attack or any other team sore losers? Nope.
@@Giratina70 I dont remember how they were after the loss to Razer but I dont recall it being that bad. Wont argue on that though. That win on hypno wasnt just pure luck since Bigger Brother is known for its pretty great armour. Hypno disc is a really poorly driven robot imo and bigger brother is well driven for sure. Yes they didnt do well in season 6s semis but this heat loss was a pretty big amount of bad luck if you think Hypno discs loss was from luck.
@@metalbat8414 They were calling the Razer team chickens when they were trying to goad Razer into the pit. And when Craig was talking to Razer, they were yapping that over and over. And maybe, but they took so many big hits that it was very lucky they didn't suffer internal damage. And Hypno for a big spinner isn't actually that poorly driven.
This show was practically my childhood.
saintzey I've become a fan of it when I was older only currently catching u too watch 8 9 10 xd
So was mine, it was more my brother who was more interested than me. I always liked the tactical side.

Don't know why everyone emphasises Iron Awe's axe, its flipper is far more dangerous, as Bigger Brother found out.
They went on to ditch the axe too for it's predecessor robots, and as a result the team became very successful due to how powerful the flipper was
