Yep, it's me, I'm DevilboyScooby, you're not, and this is my Wikia account now as I didn't realise when I signed up for the Harry Potter Wikia that a Wikia account was an umbrella acount, so my old "DevilboyScooby" wikia account, which I used to use for this wiki, is now redundant; especially since Wikimedia and Wikia seem to have merged, so it's been renamed to something stupid like "DevilboyScooby ID 8091090". Is that the most times "Wikia" has been used in a sentence? Incidentally, 8091090 was my production code from the Irritating Being Factory.

I'm on | the YouTube, although if you're viewing this you either already know that, are myself, or don't care one bit and are here to scold me for singlehandedly destroying the logic of the wins/losses ratio based on Gauntlet and Trial eliminations. But that's all in the past.

Don't try and drag me into any edit wars; I only add pointless trivia and (try to) correct grammar. Which I suppose is the point of edits anyway...

As DevilboyScooby I created the "Rex Garrod" page, which was promptly deleted despite 95 minutes of work and even longer image sourcing, to be replaced by the Team Cassius one. Which is decidely more rubbish, of course. I also created several pages for robots which didn't qualify or for whatever reason didn't appear on the show; Reckless Endangerment is an example of one which wasn't deleted.

If I'm not on the Robot Wars wiki, you'll find me scrutinising edits to Where are You? Episode pages over on | Scoobypedia as an admin (as of 14/07/15 that privilege has amazingly not been revoked, despite my unreliability), or the | Simpsons wiki trying to make sure cameo appearances of the most minor of jaundiced buffoons are properly noted. Contrary to the name, I'm not on the | Harry Potter wiki that often any more, except when I'm on one of my obsessive binges where I learn how many pimples Umbridge had for no reason whatsoever.

Robot Wars related stuff you might actual care about enough to read

 * My earliest memories, aside from cracking my head open 3 times, are of watching Robot Wars Series 3. Which I promptly overwrote with something stupid like Barney, except for Heat L onwards, but missing Semi Final 1. Thank goodness for Challenge. Oh and that YouTube uploader. But that was like, 10 years after I cried endlessly.
 * As I've matured, I've become more tasty. Oh, hang on... I'm not cheddar... What I was going to say, is I've grown to like the Gauntlet & Trials more, to the point where I now prefer Series 1 & 2 to 4-7.

Series Preference
From First to Last ('resisting urge to sing "| Two as One"'); Robot Wars: The Third Wars Robot Wars: The Second Wars Robot Wars: The First Wars Robot Wars: The Fourth Wars Robot Wars: The Fifth Wars Robot Wars: The Sixth Wars Robot Wars: The Seventh Wars

I don't feel I can judge the Extremes, as growing up I didn't care for the over-the-top, Wrestling style approach and much preferred standard, knockout progression, rather than "We are cocky ****s and you can't beat us" (which unfortunately still existed in the main series in teams such as Tornado).

Dislikes

 * Rude or cocky teams
 * Tornado
 * Cheaters or cowards
 * Tornado
 * Jayne Middlemiss (don't know why)
 * Tornado
 * Erroneous references- "S3 are Newcomers" or "Killertron are twice Grand Finalists"
 * Tornado
 * That the Stock Robots were allowed to progress through The Gauntlet, preventing more deserving robots like Barry a chance to do well. I mean, come on, "irreparably broken down" in the MIDDLE of the fight? How does one know that immediately? And, more to the point, WHY didn't I noticed that before seeing the "Stock Robots" page on this wiki? #ImStupid

likes

 * Teams who didn't take the competition too seriously or weren't afraid to laugh at themselves
 * Craig Charles
 * Philippa Forrester
 * Stinger
 * Team Nemesis
 * Flashbacks
 * The awesome |"failing electronics" noise that accompanied the flickering flashlight when robots were first introduced in Series 3 (and 4, I think). The linked one is surprisingly fitting, considering the fate of that bot. Except it never actually powered on at all...

Judges' Decisions I strongly disagreed with

 * T2 losing to the Darke Destroyer in Robot Wars: The Third Wars/Heat F


 * Gravedigger losing to Steg-O-Saw-Us in Robot Wars: The Third Wars/Semi-Final 2

Other

 * I mention Wild Willy WAY too much. However I did somehow manage to inspire | IBDPorter to design Wild Willy in Robot Wars: Arenas of Destruction for his tournament. I think it did slightly better than the real robot. Which wasn't hard.
 * I've played Robot Wars: Extreme Destruction too much, completing it twice on YouTube. (with appearances from one of Robot Wars Wiki's admins Toast Ultimatum, without me knowing he was admin until we were filming). I somehow managed to get worse in the process.
 * I've also played Robot Wars: Arenas of Destruction, Robot Arena 2, and Battlebox: Design and Destroy/Beyond the Battlebox, which were identical games (minus a few bugs in one) renamed to fool stupid people into buying the same game twice.
 * I've bought Rainbow Six: Vegas four times and Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 five times
 * I don't own the Firestorm Minibot
 * I DO own a signed piece of shrapnel from Dantomkia. Or, it was signed when I got it. It may have faded now.
 * The Black Fox is a c***.
 * I find | Philippa Forrester not understanding the point of a Failsafe, and her believing that when something goes wrong bots should be allowed to run riot or explode extremely baffling.

Anyway...that's all I can be bothered to say right now. I've probably wasted the last hour for nothing, nobody's reading this. If you are, I recommend phoning your doctor immediately. and arranging an emergency appointment. If they're on the NHS, you'll get one sometime next year.

I've been DevilboyScooby; 'til next time; Piss off.
