Welcome to a new, bigger, better series of Robot Wars! As we know from last series, Razer finally managed to ascend the UK throne by defeating Bigger Brother in a one-sided Grand Final. But during the hiatus, we ran three series from across the globe, in the United States, the Netherlands and Germany, producing many unforgetable moments and new stars. And we thought to ourselves: Why limit the number of competitors to just those mainly from the UK? Why not invite those who competed in the international series to battle alongside their UK counterparts? Well, the result of that is, INTERNATIONAL SERIES 6! That's right, Razer is going to be defending its title from the very best the world offers. And its title defence starts here! Henceforth, LET THE WARS BEGIN!
Round 1
Razer (1) vs Trazmaniac vs Granny's Revenge 2 vs Terrorhurtz
Razer and Terrorhurtz. Of course Razer gets Granny's Revenge 2, its the champion's heat for God's sake! So yeah, Razer should be fine here, but I must say that a heat victory might not be 100% secure just yet. Anyhow, Terrorhurtz could be in trouble here based on its quick loss to the crusher. However, this is Razer we are talking about, keen to entertain the crowd in the earlier stages, and thus being more likely to crush and burst Granny's Revenge 2's tyres more than anything. With Razer busy, Terrorhurtz can dominate Trazmaniac by whacking the flat top a few times. Razer can also grab and crush Trazmaniac more easily than Terrorhurtz too. Henceforth, the two Series 6 Grand Finalists clean house. SpaceManiac888(Talk) 16:09, July 10, 2020 (UTC)
Razer and Terrorhurtz - Trazmaniac is a competent enough machine that could have done pretty well given milder opposition, but it's a flat box against two robots that prey on that design. Given that Razer and Terrorhurtz didn't go for each other at all in Series 8 I can't see them doing so here. And Granny's Revenge 2's demise would both be the subject of a Jonathan Pearce laughing fit and be replayed endlessly through all highlight reels for the rest of the series.

Razer and Terrorhurtz - yeah, doubt these two risk taking each other out in Round 1 here, they're both that scared of each other that they just wouldn't bother. Poor Trazmaniac will try, but will be immediately killed by which of the two big boys hits it, while Granny's Revenge will be amputated and bashed in. NJGW (talk) 16:22, July 10, 2020 (UTC)
Slamtilt and Tough As Nails. A good melee for Tough As Nails to showcase its potential. Hoot is a perfect shape for Tough As Nails to grab, and as we saw from its two battles, was incapable of causing any damage. Grab and pit should do the trick. Now, Tough As Nails will find it a bit more difficult from here. It is not as if it can't grab and pit either opponent, it is just both are very awkward to grab and pit, but Tough As Nails will do so eventually. Who is more easier to grab? I will say Snookums, because at least Slamtilt has the benefit of being an axlebot that theoretically can slide its way out of Tough As Nails' graps once or twice. Snookums really cannot, and using its lifter will probably trap it in place. And no, in the time taken to pit Hoot, Snookums will not have done anything to trouble Slamtilt. Henceforth, the axlebot barely progresses through with the impressive Tough As Nails. SpaceManiac888(Talk) 16:09, July 10, 2020 (UTC)
Tough as Nails and Snookums - Tough as Nails is a bit of a time-bomb at this time given how it died in Dutch Series 2, but there's nothing to threaten it here. As Space said, it's between Slamtilt and Snookums for which goes through with it, and I think Slamtilt's vulnerable wheels might not stand up particularly well to getting grabbed by Tough as Nails - plus Snookums is an even more awkward shape to grab and has the lifting sword that might break a grip.

Tough as Nails and Snookums - Interesting. I do think an angled Tough as Nails grip will take one of Snookums' wheels off the ground and could cause a comfortable pitting on its own. However, the possibility of Slamtilt getting in an awkward area itself is even more possible, and I think Snookums added potential defence with its weaponry could be telling.
