Hi all RW fans. My name is StormProof and even though I have contributed to this wiki for quite a while, I have never had the chance to sign up...

UNTIL NOW!

I was a bit gutted when I learned that RW was not going to be made for an 8th series but it is a TV program that always has had a special place in my childhood.

The first time I watched RW was the second heat of the Third Wars. I called one of them "the yellow and black stripy one" (Behemoth as you've probably guessed) and I have been to a RW live event at MEN a number of years ago. I remember Bulldog Breed (3, I think) appearing with its much improved flipper and also the best part was when Chaos 2 chucking heavy oil barrels into the air.

I even have a bit of a tedious link with a famous robot. My music tutor's husband used to go to uni with Andrew Marchant (Tornado captain) on electro-acoustic engineering, which ironically was inspired by King Buxton which friends of mine live and I was at their house when Heat J of the Third Wars was first broadcast.

As for my favourite robot:

Its hard to say but I am actually going to overrule my profile picture and say Firestorm. Several reasons why are:


 * Execellent driver
 * The most successful in the main competition
 * Very low ground clearance at the front
 * Nice paint job (not the one after Series 5!)
 * The spirit of Cassius lived on
 * Could only be beaten by the best
 * Defeats very powerful robots
 * Always gives Razer a run for his money!

I'd like to watch robot combat a bit more, especially the featherweights. I would decribe the featherweights now as being "a lot more technical and a lot more destructive" in the words of Kim Davis.

That's all for now. I'll be back soon hopefully.
