Forum:Series 8 Reinstated

Since we've decided to cut most of the foreigners, I think that we should discuss who should return. We have 9 spots to fill.

For me, the obvious choices are Dominator 2, Terrorhurtz and Sir Chromalot. I would also like Chompalot to come back, because I'd like to see the grudge with 13 Black reinstated.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  00:48, 26 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Splinter, since we know it attempted to qualify for Series 6 and 7. Do we know if Wheely Big Cheese had been bought as of 2004?  If so, maybe its new owner could have it up and running and bring it back to compete. R A 2 ; aka Resetti's Replicas.  ( My Talk ) 01:30, 26 August 2009 (UTC)


 * If you meant by Team Hydra, we could do that, but I don't think it would be under the same name. For convinience, we should disregard Wheely Big Cheese, but Splinter (and possibly Mortis) will be brought back, and I'd also like to put up Cedric Slammer.

 * As I mentioned in another thread, I seem to remember reading that Hypno-Disc and Diotoir were being bought out of retirement to compete in a very special "World Championships" event held after Robot Wars had finished. The event was cancelled, so I'll never know whether they intended to actually fight, but still.....CBFan 06:01, 26 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I'd rather keep the old legends out of this wars, because I'd like some new semi-finalists, and if we filled heats with robots like Hypno-Disc, Wheely Big Cheese and Razer, we won't have any new semi-finalists. As for Diotoir, perhaps...  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  08:01, 26 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh, BTW, you forgot I Bot One Beta. CBFan 08:06, 26 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Thankyou. Any others?  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  08:24, 26 August 2009 (UTC)


 * No, I think the only other internationals left were Gravity and Tough As Nails, and we're keeping them. CBFan 09:22, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

How about Stinger? It says on its page that it couldn't compete in Series 7 because it didn't have a moving weapon, but I think we should get rid of that stupid rule. Christophee (talk) 11:38, 26 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, I agree. So we've locked in Terrorhurtz, Dominator 2, Splinter and Sir Chromalot, and are considering Chompalot, Diotoir and Stinger. With those three locked in, we've got room for another two. How about C.V. or one of the other New Blood robots?  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  11:51, 26 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I'd actually like those spots to go to two of Cedric Slammer, ICU and Infinity. Possibly all three, if we can cut either Diotoir or Stinger. I think Diotoir should remain retired; its believable and more likely.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  12:13, 26 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Can't we cut a few Series 7 robots to make room for the ones we want? I think it wouldn't be unreasonable to say that a few robots didn't return if they either did nothing or suffered grievous damage.  Or both. A couple candidates would be Mayhem, BOD, Scarey-Go-Round, and Diabolus. R A 2 ; aka Resetti's Replicas.  ( My Talk ) 14:03, 26 August 2009 (UTC)


 * That was my next idea. I'm in favour of cutting Scarey-Go-Round and also Cygnus X-1, Saw Point 2, Araknia, Thunderpants and Cobra.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  22:54, 26 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I want to bring back Comengetorix and Weld-Dor, also. Have we decided on everyone to cut?  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  11:35, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

I think that another possible robot to reinstate could be Berserk 2 (the good one) or perhaps S3 or Gemini. -- Helloher    (talk)  14:19, 28 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I'd also like it if we could cut a fair number of the useless spinner robots. Almost every heat in S7 consisted of two or three spinners whose weapons didn't work. R A 2 ; aka Resetti's Replicas.  ( My Talk ) 16:06, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
