Of course it's u.s.a. only!

Usa only :/

what is going on with the season 8 fights? it seems.tomhqve.juay stopped after episode 10? when will it continue so we can follow and find out who will be competing for the championship?

I still don't understand the reason for a mid-season break from a pre-recorded show. 😉

Haha I’m glad to see this post. I thought I was losing my mind thinking I watched the last episode a couple times without remembering 😵‍💫

But is really cool live!!

My 6 yr old was very dissapointed and didn't quite understand why there wasn't a new episode. I had to explain it multiple times then just finally turned on an older episode and she was good lol 😆

Discovery has about completely lost us as patrons with the constant mid season breaks and sudden cancellations.

What is the purpose of this break? Isn't everything already shot and edited?

This was the worst I waited all week... for this and south park.... dad and I ended up watching repeats... I hate waiting and then finding out I have to wait even more... 😂😂

Did they not have it all filmed already? Why the break in between?

My 80 year old Mom is not happy about this! She loves watching Battlebots!

Taking forever!

If you guys are wondering why they are having a 2 week break, I think it’s because of March Madness Basketball

I know the feeling. But I hope to show YouTube clips of select Battlebots Bouts so far to my aunt when she visits, as I doubt she has never seen it before!

Exactly how I felt last Thursday. Soul crushing

Yes, this is the way my husband, myself, and my brother-in-law look again this week!

Well, I have other things to watch and do, so it doesn't bother me too much. Anyways, it might be a good time to give some mid-season reflections: THE BIGGEST SURPRISES: There have been quite a few surprises this year so far. Bots I wouldn't expect to do as well as they did: For starters, Claw Viper. I don't usually hold grappling/lifter bots in high regard, but this one is a huge exception to the rule. That thing is FAST! It can be on another bot before it can even attack, and has demonstrated that in its fights. The bot and team is 3-0 so far, and they seem like Giant Nut material. And what about Quantum? Also undefeated, that thing can really sink its teeth into other bots and cause considerable damage. I didn't think much of it after it defeated its first two opponents, Captain Shredderator and Gruff, their win against Black Dragon has convinced me this bot is for real. They're 3-0 too and considering who their next opponent is, it'll likely be a perfect record for them. Ripperoni has been a big surprises as well. They're a rookie although not as impressive as some have been last season, they did notch an insane upset win over End Game and took another match against Hijinx. If they can get past Copperhead in their last fight, that would definitely be a statement win. THE BEST OF THE REST: Andrea and Michael Gellatly are having their best season so far with Witch Doctor. I must say, this voodoo posse looked like they had already peaked in the 2019 season for a while, having a paltry 1-2 record in the qualifiers. However, they've made up for that elsewhere, being runner up again for the Giant Nut, winning that bounty, among other things and are currently undefeated. And Huge, also currently undefeated, has been impressive. I do wonder though if they can withstand horizontal spinners though. I still remember when they were split in two by Icewave. Let's see what might happen here. And what about Sawblaze? Jamison Go really has impressed me with his hammer-saw bot. Copperhead is also 3-0, although I do feel skittish about this one; their split judge's decision loss to Mammoth still weighs heavily. And of course Riptide: This bot has also been a stunner, also going undefeated so far. However, I do have to question Mr. Kurtz's attitude over that last match, he said a bleeped-out obscenity on the air. Got to wonder if he's going to be a jerk if they do win the Giant Nut. I kind of think Mr. Kurtz wants that Battlebots Villain award that Ray Billings gave to Jake Ewert last season. Last but not least: Minotaur! This Brazilian bot has impressed considerably this season making an astounding comeback. Given the recent tragedies this team faced, I'd like to see them get the Giant Nut. THE BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENTS: Let's start with Glitch. Did they have a wild run of beginner's luck last year, when they went 3-0 in the qualifiers (although technical difficulties prevented them from being in the tournament) and had an just-as-impressive run in the Golden Bolt tournament? And only now are they getting a dose of reality? Did we all somehow hallucinate what we saw? This year has so far been a polar opposite. They're 0-2, and in both of those losses they were KO'd in less than a minute, going down like a total punk. I may forgive the one against Riptide, but against Lock-Jaw? They could still salvage the season and go a 2-2 split. However, my confidence in this team has gone down the toilet. If they lose the same way to Triton, their next opponent, I'm not sure what to say. And what about Ribbot? They're 0-3! However, some of that might be attributed to their opponents. Witch Doctor is an elite bot. Claw Viper has shocked other out of the gate. Their recent loss to Jackpot though has me thinking if this frog is done for. They could go 0-4 here. The new Kraken has failed to impress me. They're also 0-3, and their losses have been against more mediocre opponents, apart from Copperhead. However, as some have said, Spurk and company aren't used to using a bot with a spinning weapon, so I can't fully fault them. And what about Tantrum? They're 1-2. Sure they dismantled Hydra and make a statement against them, but they've been less-than-stellar otherwise. They got blasted by Minotaur and then got tossed around by Blip. TAKING IT LIKE A MAN: Jake Ewert took his loss to Tantrum well from what I saw after the fight, and it's helped earn more respect for him. Many lost respect for him after his decision to use that "cow catcher" on his bot when going up against Huge, but that was two years ago, and this is now. I don't think he's quite the villain anymore. BUT THIS GUY IS A BAD SPORT: Ethan Kurtz really turned me off with his post-fight interview after his bot's KO against Captain Shredderator. He made a bleeped-out obscenity on the air. I know we all cuss, and I do too, but that was a bit much. I do wonder if Mr. Kurtz is again after Jake Ewert's "villain" honor. THE MOST BONEHEAD MOVE IN ALL OF BATTLEBOTS (in my opinion): I don't know what the team behind Skorpios was thinking in regard to that sword weapon they had for their fight against Sawblaze. Most wanted to see a hammer-saw on hammer-saw fight, and that's not what we got. Well, I can't ridicule them too much, it was a gamble for Skorpios although it failed miserably.

Taken from the last of us..excellent series…

I watched the full season of street outlaws before starting BattleBots so I'll be caught up by the time it restarts

Yes. I've been very sad.

“This is the Way!”

Some watch WWE or mma. I watch battle bots and cheer them on like it's a royal rumble lol

Mid season breaks for any show are the dumbest thing ever.

Gonna unsub, then wait a couple weeks.

Thanks for not even show the re:mars footage, clearly this was a huge plot to gouge another month out of discovery memberships.

My Thursdays have been boring without Battlebots to look forward to after work.

Just heightens the anticipation 😁

BB will always stand for Battlebots and not Basketball

Rewatch season one! Very interesting and retro fun!

Umm this is all recorded! Now your take virtual vacations!? Truly that's bullsheet.

Maybe just play constant commercials in the time slot for two weeks. That way, it will make us feel we are just missing a few fights…

with any luck they managed to work in a wardrobe change as well at the midseason taping break last year. i shudder to think of the pain for whoever is stuck with the drycleaning bill on those poor lime green and lavender outfits they've worn to every taping so far! 🤣🤣🥃

We need a video game!

what, is there a winter Shark Week I didn't know about? lol Nah, seriously, I know this is probably so they aren't competing with March Madness, so a two week rest is fine

I think it’s because of March Madness, and I’m in Spring Break right now. Even as a huge BattleBots fan. I still need a Spring Break holiday

At least Battle Bots is real.

And ye just gotta know that Farooq is not anywhere near this snowy terrain.... Somewhere trimming that beard tho 👊😎

Seriously???? For a recorded series from, what, April??? Sorry. And guess what? I *DO* watch some of the college basketball games towards the very end. But you know what? I don't EVER remember any games on a THURSDAY night!! Good job Discovery Channel!!!!

Well it gives fans time to. Watch and look forward more towards Norwalk Havoc March 18th! It’s the biggest event in the history of this place

So what show is Discovery trying to make us watch in that time slot?

I'm just concerned about Kenny's paycheck. Y'all really gotta fix the Battlebots sign.

I'm so glad I fell behind watching them. I've got 2 more episodes to watch.😁😁

At least NHRL has a new show coming

It is understandable to give teams time to fix bots for the next fights. I appreciate the matches with full healthy bots to watch them explode like Gruff did against Witch Doctor. Maybe also give the the teams alittle help by having a second bot on hand that way they have more time to fix one. Two weeks should be plenty of time to fix one bot especially if they know the in and outs of the bot. If the suppliers can't get you parts in two weeks then the suppliers need to get things together. Thanks for the good shows.

While they are taking a break can we get rid of the upper deck? It really serves no purpose.

Or really bad beer... well. Same thing.

Just rewatch the riptide and captian shreddrator fight

Wish they would stop interrupting BB for whatever nonsense… is it sharks? I don’t care about sharks.

Reruns in the middle of the season, for 2 weeks!!!!¿? No thanks 😡 I think the young and the restless is on

Yoooo that meme is so old it has a pension

But, but, but I live for BattleBots Thursdays 🙁 Oak Island Tuesdays, Mandalorian Wednesdays, and BattleBot Thursdays!

That is a beautiful bot

Can we start making these the size of cars. I wanna see one get flipped 50 feet in the air

If they could get the steering and driving down pat, this could be quite an effective bot. However, they haven't quite yet.

Love the design, just seems like it's newer going to get enough traction to be effective?

Love the design 👍🏻

I love the design of how it’s Witch Doctor with omniwheels

No me la perderé

Horario de tv?

Nice

Mad

Good ol' Reddit, where you can be threatened with physical violence, then be falsely banned for "threats of physical violence" while those who threaten you are allowed to remain. Too many liberals in control on that site.

bums

When the weapon goes back, it throws off the momentum because it goes back too far.

Love Team Kraken! When you get used to the new bot, you’ll get some wins!!

Good idea and visually appealing ... but ... their design does not perform well at all ! They need to re-design as either a good crusher or a vertical spinner ...

I really was touched when Matt announced last year he was retiring Kraken. It was really emotional for him and fans of BattleBots. Kraken 2.0 is indeed an upgrade. It takes time learning how pilot a new bot. I am sure Kraken 2.1 will be even better! Go Team Kraken!

Long Live The Kraken

Like the new build!!!

Never watched this wins

Release the Kraken!!!

”اذگـر الله“..🫶💙

😊

Goood!

Biohazard!

The judging has started to decline over the past couple seasons. Seems like some favorites are being played. Especially last season against Hydra.

Horizon ..a rookie bot with good potential...like any rookie bot, the first season is full of ups and downs. Like Shreddit Bro, run by the Pain Train driver. Will be following both these new bots with interest!

How did they win in review vs shatter... takes off the plastic armour that is made to come off and wins the damage

Horizon redeemed itself those two disks when working properly hit hard

Really great move with the topside plastic armor versus Shatter. I think we really saw the potential of the design! My kids kept saying it looks like a carnival ride... of DEATH!

those discs are not doing any damage whatsoever

Outstanding job last night team horizon.

Robot is shit. One of the worst bots in recent years. It's right up there with Pain Train & Shreddit Bro.

”اذگـر الله“..⚘🍁

Embarrassing Bot. Sorry. Truth hurts hih?!!

I'll find it online as Discovery have yet to give Brits a legal way of watching.

Riptide seems to be lacking a bit of sportsmanship with that amount of damage inflicted

Yah, riptide, you won the match, but not many friends, destroying your opponent after countdown, and they already said Back Off

Always takes 30 minutes for the last fight to take place..getting old

can someone please buy Chris and,Kenny some new clothes

I remember Kenny saying a few episodes back- something like "the active bot needs to keep being aggressive if the other damaged bot is still "Moving" as to accrue the aggressive points with the judges? "(Or something like that). We're seeing more bots continue the battering when clearly the defeated bot needs to power down and get called out. I like the aggressiveness. Full-on destruction. But if its better to "Save" your bot-admit defeat and cancel yourself out. Just sayin' 😛

Best moment tonight w… We’ll find out when we return!

We are now approaching the final 5 episodes of the qualifying round. This is when every single robot is gonna put up their A game to guarantee a spot in the Top 32. It is still anyone’s chance to glory. Also great job for both Whiplash and Monsoon for an amazing fight.

I watched it on discovery+ like 16 hours ago but ok 🙃

Hurry back Ray Billings! We need some better sportsmanship back into Battlebots. LOTS of poor sportsmanship this episode. Sore losers and sore winners.

Just watching this now, finally.... Martin Mason would make a helluva commentator. I really enjoyed his insights and pretty much everything he said when he dropped the wrestler persona. Incredible contributions to the calling of Banshee-Emulsifier fight.

Such BS, damaged is the highest category, then aggression and control. Yes whiplash won control, but monsoon was pretty aggressive just like whiplash, then there is damage... just saying.

Whiplash had visible damage. Damage is the most important thing. The judges got it wrong. 😡

anybody know why we have to wait all the way till the 30th for the next ep?

Every week I watch but the stream resets during the last fight. I'm enjoying the battle but if it keeps doing this I'll probably drop it.

What are the judges smoking? Monsoon won that fight fair and square!!! Jonny Cordes

I think all teams should get one appeal during the tournament. Using one before hand shouldn't count against you.

It's amazing 🤩

Best fight of the night last night no doubt about it.

Trevor you and Logan watching the new season?

”اذگـر الله“..⚘🍁

Has jackpot been on here before ?

UK?

Other bots, no weapons = insta-lose. Guess Whiplash got a hard favor from the judges.

So many people are crying about riptide. Captain Shred was still moving, whether he meant to or not. You never know what can happen inside the box. When you have the chance to end your opponent, you end them. You people must have a trophy case full of participation trophies. One way to shut someone up with a big mouth is to beat them and no one has yet. Y’all can cry harder.
