User blog comment:DeltaSquad5/Robot Wars 2016 - First Episode Reaction?/@comment-28400743-20160725214012

I liked the excitement, Robot Wars in HD. The veterans. John Reid. JP hasn't lost it. More Noel Sharky. The no BS with repeats and replays between fights.

I didn't like, even though the proper pronunciation of the word is 'Be-he-muth', I still found myself shouting at Dara 'BEER-MOTH' the way we all learnt many years ago. Dara, a comedian is naturally funny and he actually works well in the pits.

There was a real strange intensity about the fights, pure because there was no music, I don't know if I liked that or not but it added something, even though there was nothing there. However, what I secretly wanted was a pumped up version of the old theme tune damn it! Not some symphonic Game of Thrones-esque outro music thats unmemorable!

No predictions except I can't see Carbide winning. Compared to those on Battlebots, Carbide isn't as powerful and theres got to be others on another level.
