    [TV] Robot Combat League

    Anyone as excited for this show as I am? I have been waiting for something like this ever since Robot Wars was cancelled.

    It looks like one of those things that will either really suck or kick ass.

    Ive actually watched the first episode and it seriously kicked ass. I thought it was going to be a bust too but it was actually really entertaining. I cant wait for the next episode. Shit was awesome

    how the hell can they call this "Robot" Combat League?
    these are more like rock 'em sock 'em robots instead of being actual robots.

    i'll watch some, but as far as i see all they do is punch unlike the old Robot Wars\Battlebots that had actual weapons.

    It was pretty funny when that one tube came loose under the robot and yellow fluid came out. Made it look as if the robot was pissing himself.

    So, because we don't have the technology to make the "reel steel" robots, these aren't real robots? go look up the definition of robot.

    I thought it was pretty good. My problem was the same problem that comes with any TV show that has fight scenes; they use like 20 cameras and the guy with the switch camera button is going to town on that bad boy. They should just be using a couple of cameras so that you can switch the angle if the first one is obstructed, not to make it look more dramatic.

    A couple of the people controlling the robots are actual fighters and I didn't think that would really make a difference, but when I saw the girl controlling Crash throw punching with out ever bending her arm I face palmed super hard, I can't believe they won.
    These aren't the spoilers you're looking for.

    Move along.

    Thought it was pretty awesome, especially the slow-mo shot when Crash nailed Iron Torpedo (I think that's it's name?) right in the elbow and snapped it in half.
