my prediction bug lamp: comedy central yanked its contract and the show, the merchandise, and the games were all yanked with it.

There's always the "Robot wars" game! It's very similar, but English, so it must be good!!

No it isn't!!!! The house robots on Robot Wars could rip apart anything from battlebots!
Hypnodisc, the ultimate robot could rip THEM apart!
I don't know how good the GAME is though!

DG: BIG PROBLEM. i hate to say this, but unless you have the PAL version of the playstation 2, you can't play the Robot Wars for PS2 game. trust me, i have tried to play a demo disc that is for the PAL version and it won't work on the US version of the playstation 2. sorry!

Hypnodisc is good, but nothing compared to Son of Whyachi, Hazard, Rammstein, The Judge, Phrizbee, T-Minus, Diesector...etc.

How do you know? The weight limits might be different between the shows. Hypnodisc used to cut robots in half, literally, and it still seriously damages heavily armoured BEASTS. Anyway, battlebots fights are 1 minute shorter than on robot wars, so Hypnodisc's battery would outlast that of a battle bot...
Do you like the robot "Biohazard"? It transforms, and is very hard to hit. It think it was on a US series, but NOT battlebots...

dg, are you smoking something? biohazard was the most successful battlebot in the history of battlebots, winning 4 championships. and it doesn't transform. that would be the master.

and also dg, the weight limits for battlebots and robot wars are exactly the same at 220 lbs. (100 kgs.) robot wars created lighter bots until series 5, when they moved to 100 kgs.
