About Me
I'm Toon Ganondorf, a student living in Australia. During me youth, I happened upon this show on a Saturday morning whilst I was too hyperactive to sleep. I recall now that it was the clip from the audition of Toe-Cutter, during Panic Attack's heat. Soon afterwards, I would drag myself awake at the ridiculously early time of 6am to watch it. During this time, my favourite robot was Cerberus, and I was shattered when it lost to Thing 2. I clearly remember battles like Killerhurtz driving into the pit, Firestorm and Facet, and praying that Dreadnaut would come back to life against Trident. Sadly, it was not meant to be. I was ecstatic in the Finals, such as the Grudge between Chaos 2 and Mace 2, to the bitter fight between 101 and Hypno-Disc, to Chaos 2 launching Firestorm over the wall. When Chaos 2 stopped that spinning disc for the win of Series 3, I was leaping up and down, a move only magnified by Chaos 2 flipping Shunt. I'd like to point out that besides Cassius and Panic Attack, no Grand Final has ever come close to a quarter of the excitement of this one.

Series 4 followed, which I this time watched from start to finish. Somewhere in my home is an old video tape of some of the later heats, Heat G-J, as I recall. For some reason, I missed Heats K-O, but watching Hypno-Disc's heat was immensely satisfying, even though Cerberus fell so early. At the conclusion of the Fourth Wars, I was shattered to learn that Channel Ten had axed Robot Wars. It was the end of an era.

Then came December 27, 2008. I watched the Series 5 recap, and the old feelings of excitement came back. I knew who had won the series, but it didnt stop me from rooting for Bigger Brother. January 1 was another significant day; the day I uploaded the image of Razer in my first ever contribution here. Bitter clashes with current user CBFan did not prevent me from making the best articles I could, the first of which was Hypno-Disc.

Two weeks into my editing, I was promoted to admin on January 14, 2009. I was promoted to Bureaucrat on May 15. I have single-handedly written 94 articles for this wiki, uploaded 1,563 images, and made 2,911 edits to various articles.

This is my YouTube account; don't bother, I don't have any videos. I have, however, watched nearly the entire Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Wars, plus both Extreme Series, so I am now fully up to date.

I am also on email contact with The Hassocks Hog team and The Steel Avenger, and trying to make contact with Tornado, Firestorm, Razer, Lightning, X-Terminator and 13 Black.

That's all my life story, so I hope you enjoy your stay here, and strive to be as committed as I am.

My 5 Favorite Robots

 * 1) Firestorm - Flipped Mr Psycho, threw Mute and Ripper and so many others out of the arena, and was just a classic competitor.
 * 2) Bulldog Breed - Never forget the flipping out of Pussycat. I love it. Almost my favourite, but you can't forget Firestorm.
 * 3) Hypno-Disc - Two words. Splinter and Stealth.
 * 4) The Steel Avenger - Love the outfits and the name, and came out of retirement to face Storm 2. That takes serious guts.
 * 5) S.M.I.D.S.Y. - Never expected it to be so good, and I'm furious that it lost to Growler ruined its chances of beating Dominator 2. A worthy deserver of a semi-final placing in my book.

My 5 Least Favorite Robots

 * 1) Razer - I loved them in Series 4, but by the end of Series 6, I was hitting my head against the table. Even the pinball, come on. Even though Firestorm is my favourite robot, I was hoping that Pussycat would win and defeat Razer in the next round. Same goes for Hypno-Disc and Bigger Brother, someone destroy Razer, please!
 * 2) Dantomkia - I just got sick of them. I mean, Chaos 2 is one thing, but Hypno-Disc, Panic Attack and King B Powerworks just turned them into show-offs.
 * 3) Bolt from the Blue - it did nothing. Ever. Not fun to watch
 * 4) Corkscrew Two - Brought shame to such a great robot. Load of junk.
 * 5) X-Terminator 2 - What a terrible axe

My 5 Favorite Robot Wars moments

 * 1) Chaos 2 flipping Shunt
 * 2) Wheely Big Cheese flipping Axe-Awe out of the arena
 * 3) Pussycat defeating the cocky Razer, twice.
 * 4) Diotoir pitting Tornado
 * 5) Bulldog Breed flipping out Pussycat

My 5 Favorite battles

 * 1) Spawn Again vs Raging Knightmare - Exploding flippers, skewering the arena floor, self-righting and ending with Spawn Again sitting on the arena wall.
 * 2) Firestorm vs Panic Attack in the Commonwealth Championship - Firestorm flipped Sgt. Bash, and even Mr. Psycho!
 * 3) Hypno-Disc vs Splinter - Splinter ended up in splinters
 * 4) Sir Chromalot vs G.B.H 2 vs The Alien vs ICU - Incredibly close, and a lot of self-righting
 * 5) House Robot Rebellion - Gravity tossed two, and Behemoth broke Psycho. Too bad he smashed Gravity first.

Extra stuff

 * I love the Bigger Brother team. Little Joe and Ellie are adorable.
 * Medusa 2000, V-Max and Spikasaurus had good potential, and should have returned
 * Cerberus was a beautiful robot, and should have come back into the UK series (not counting Extreme) after the weight limit was increased.
 * Ultor should have won a sportsmanship award.
 * Yes, people, Darke Destroyer did beat T2, but in my opinion if you have a name as boring as T2, you deserve to lose.
 * Corkscrew and Steg 2 were great robots....why were they succeeded by such pieces of junk?
 * Its interesting that the only way Mighty Mouse and Velocirippa could fight was if Mighty Mouse defeated Thermidor 2, Typhoon 2 and Atomic, and if Velocirippa defeated Hard, Bulldog Breed, Kat 3, Tough As Nails and X-Terminator. Same goes for Ming Dienasty and Zorro, and IG-88 and Vader.
 * I am so sick of people making stuff up about Pussycat
 * Pussycat did not lose in Round 1 ever
 * Pussycat has lost to robots other than Chaos 2.
 * Pussycat did not enter the Sixth Wars because of David Gribble's death, not because they failed to qualify.
 * Pussycat has lost by knockout. Tornado in All-Stars, Bulldog Breed in Tag Team Terror, Chompalot in Iron Maidens. Now move on people.
