Phalanx Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Man that was wild. I don't know what my Japanese brethren be doing in Japan but they really must have been that bored to create a TV series about famous anime robots battling it out mono-a-mono. I personally consider it Japan's version of battlebots but only more appealing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except they didn't work worth crap. Most popular attack seemd to be a wedge-shaped front so they could run under the other guy and flip him.

NERV Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 robot wars was also on tv ina merica, i tihnk on tlc or soemthing, robot wars made no sense whatsoever, for no apparent reason 'house bots' woudl randomly come out which were far superior to the contendor's robots and just beat the crap out of them, i never saw any contestant's robot able to handle one of the house bots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
