Got my Battlebots fix after missing last week. Many surprises concerning Rusty, Big deal & others. My favorite is "Copperhead & mini- bots. Wouldn't a bounty hunter "Mini- bots" competition rock?? Loved the good sportsmanship!❤
Loved every second of this show. The good sportsmanship is amazing and a welcome relief from many boring programs. Love Rusty and all the support from the other bot builders. Makes me feel proud to know there are still good people willing to support each other and still have fun.
When does new season start? Wouldn't mind more re-runs of previous seasons too. Especially earlier ones I missed. Thanks for great programs during tough year!!
Rusty Rusty Rusty Rusty. By far my favorite underdog ever !!!
My "Smart TV Guide" indicates it will be shown tonight. 😁
OMG this was one of the best Bounty Hunters! So exciting, from Rusty to Gigabyte to Son of Wyatchi. It doesn't get better than this tournament. Thank you BattleBots !
Rusty!! Rusty!! Rusty!! Best damned way to spend a Thursday night. 👍🏻
BOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Absolutely love Bounty hunter, Battle Bots just can't get enough of!
That was awesome !
Yes! How fun!
Bye Rusty. 😢
Dave Eaton needs his own show!Cant wait to see Rusty Jr.!!! #RIPRusty
Favorite bot of all time
Dude.....the Wrestlemania Hulk Hogan spiritual crowd fund that brought Rusty back to life and upright against Copperhead was the most righteous nerd moment of my life.
I hope SOW returns for season 6! 🙏🏼
Chris Rose is the very definition of balanced reporting. "Somebody tell the Ref to shut up!" Who can blame him though. Rusty Rocks.
Why do they say “ part of the 25g purse”? They don’t get it all?
Come on Rusty, you are the Tow Mater of Battle Bots and we are rooting for you. Show'em how it's done.
Yay!!! Rusty!!!
That was great. What's next?
i❤ battlebots
Gigabyte wins.

Love seeing R.O.B. in the thunbnail!
Deanne Ubben
Is rob guest star on battlebots
all spinners making the same mistake, over and over.....so funny!!!
ROB for battlebots! He does pretty well in smashbros! 😆
Simona Bertazzini !! Ci andremo ??
More beautitul
Such an overlooked part of the design process! Great video!
Thank you Battlebots for sharing our video!! If there’s a topic people would like us to discuss please leave a comment about what you would like to see!!
Out of all the weapons used so not one of you teams have used the best deadlest weapon known to electrics !!WATER just make a retractable syringe full of liquid i suggest expanding foam mixed with water works everytime doesnt just stop the opponents its puts them to sleep for ever 1000's of hours building rendered useless in minutes never to be used again
BREAKING NEWS: The final episode of BattleBots: Bounty Hunters will not air this Thursday. It will instead air next Thursday 4/29 @ 8:00pm ET on Discovery (Discovery is pre-empting the show this week for an Earth Day special - Happy Earth Day everyone). ... See MoreSee Less
Thanks for the heads up. Sad there's only one more episode. My favorite show on TV
Thank you for letting us know this. Shame that we're having to wait an extra week when there's only one episode left, but I understand some since Earth Day is a big thing for parts of the Discovery network of channels.
Sad I have to wait another week but seriously impressed with sharing the info ahead of time. Most shows don't
It's good to know that my workplace isn't the only one that waits to make decisions weeks after any conflicts become apparent.
Bummer! BattleBots is my escape from all the political rhetoric that's dished out on TV these days.
Whyachi curse strikes again!
Breaking News... as in BREAKING OUR HEARTS!
Really ? Earth Day ? Like they can't show that before and/or after Battlebots.
i was wondering when i was looking at the dvr i noticed it skipped a week. this explains it. thank u 4 showing this on the tv. i don't want to subscribe to discovery+
But nothing says WE CARE ABOUT SAVING THE PLANET better than sweeping up robot parts off the Battlebots arena floor and throwing them out!
My Thursday is ruined.
I don't know how I will survive, it's become my Thursday night ritual...😕
If you're that mad, just watch it on discovery+
Thanks for the heads up.
Screw earth day, I want to see bots get trashed!
To bad, I'll be watching Swamp People.
i bet they won't get as many ratings like they would airing battlebots.
So next week we get to see Son of Whyachi pulverize the competition, got it
“Earth Day” 🙄
Robots are soon going to be ruling the Earth, we should pay more attention to them than this planet. Be kind to bots 🤖
PLANET EARTH IS DOOMED. ONLY ROBOT COMBAT WILL REMAIN. EMBRACE IT.
I can accept this. I think our renewal is almost assured... (hopes)
At least I have a Discovery plus account
Robots dont get to activate...and that makes me sad
Save the Earth. Destroy a robot.
Nicely done Will Hahn. Nicely done. ... See MoreSee Less
This content isn't available right now
When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.IMHO. I love Rusty for several reasons. He's made of parts used for other things. That's creative. He is not new parts and big expenses. That's smart. He encourages others to try building their own bots. That keeps the sport growing with new talent. And he is cute! That makes people smile. And perhaps that is the best in this world situation. So thanks to Rusty and his builder for being such a good sport. Now that's classy.
We need a Rusty Hexbug!! Love Rusty and his creator!! 😊
That is remarkable!
Love it! Rusty is one of my favorites!👍
RUSTY!! 💞
Adorbs.
Want!!
Aww, Baby Rusty!!
Nice job Will, this is ian ncredible piece, so envious that you got one of your art pieces shared by BB.
RUSTY!!!!!!!!!
My man rusty lol
Very cool - love him♥️
Hope Rusty comes back best bot ever built!
Love it! We love Rusty!
Very cool
Rusty. So awesome
Rusty!!
Mini rusty is so cool!
Rusty is too cute!!
Love the mini me Rusty
Ya u right
Is that the new Hexbug?
Awesome job!!! Rusty is such a great addition this year to the BattleBot community !!

THE EMPIRE SWIPES BACK! A dynasty awaits as 8 teams look to cash in the bounty on the formidable SON OF WHYACHI. Copperhead, Chronos, Kraken, Rusty, Grabot, Gigabyte, Perfect Phoenix and Big Dill all want a shot at the legend, but there can be only one Bounty Hunter! Don't miss it - Thursday 8pm on Discovery! ... See MoreSee Less
Love Battle Bots. Would be great if it ran all year long!
This episode will airs April 29 (discovery is showing an Earth Day special this Thursday)
didn't this already air somwhere? i have seen some of these fights already
I heard that Son of Whyachi is retired. People kept telling me. If that's the case, then that means the bounty match was SOW's last fight.
SOW vs gigabyte would make for a show..
Perfect Phoenix vs SOW would be a great match. But honestly I’m always routing for Rusty!
Glad they added Bounty Hunters to TV, still waiting on broadband.
I love watching this!
Witch Dr was great. Love those bots!
First episode of the season had a Rusty fight, last episode of the season had a Rusty fight. I mean, if that doesn't speak awesome beginning and end, I don't know what does.
My favorite I'd End Game!
I love this show. And, esp. how the entire contest is done in one 2-hr. episode.
😡, darn- there goes my "BattleBots" Thursday agenda😢
My boy rusty got this
Some big hitters in that group.
2 bunch of these bots SOW has already faced and defeated - Kraken+ Copperhead both in the 2019 season. The most of the rest apart from Gigabyte are rookie bots who are still relatively new to the competition, have had severe reliability problems or are too weak armoured. With the aforementioned exception of Gigabyte, this should be almost a complete clean sweep for SOW.
Copperhead vs Gigabyte, then Copperhead over SOW
Doesn't seem to be listed for the 22nd. So maybe the 29th?
SOW? I thought they retired that bot...and created HYDRA.
Thanks for posting that. I checked out my TV guide and was going ballistic because I thought my TV service was pre-empting BB for the special! 😖
Oooh, more Kraken! Will be interesting to see how it does against such a tall bot as Rusty.
Is it on this week? I checked recently, and there was stuff for Earth Day in the time slot instead. Well, if it is on this week my prediction is Copperhead making it to SOW, and if not him then Gigabyte.
one thing about wyachi is that it's blade is very powerful, but very heavy and it takes a long time to spin up to speed, so whoever goes up against wyachi has an advantage to keep hitting him to be sure that the blade doesn't go up to full speed.
Chronos is a great looking bot
the only way to win son of Whyachi is to hit him b4 it's blades pick up speed. for that i think copperhead stands a chance as it's swift and its weapon is equally demolishing
Witch Doctor defends its Bounty tonight - 8pm - Discovery ... See MoreSee Less
This was a good bounty hunt
I like how Pete Abrahamson has been upping his analyst game, and giving some good insights before the fights. I wasn't a fan during the 2021 competition but his work during Bounty Hunters was great.
Unfortunatly Discovery Canada splits Battle Bots Bounty Hunter into two 1 hour shows a week apart. Really kills the continuity of the show, makes it a bit less exciting. Oh well.
Ready to hear fans chant fight fight fight fight !!! The competitor's cant do it in sync lol
Come on veruc. Don't put the world of Neil Peart anywheres in this place Neil Peart is an icon these BattleBots aren't That was kind of an insult to his name
We want RUSTY!!!
Damn, Witch Doctor just came in swinging and never quit.
Is that not the second time this year Malice lost by getting stuck vertically like that??? After the first time, why didn’t they add some protrusion to prevent that from happening??
Whoever edited the Witch Doctor vs Gigabyte flashback countdown:
Witch Doctor - BattleBot = Legendary!!!
Witch Doctor - BattleBot is one of the very best!
Witch Doctor is overated, but loved by the production people.
It's robot finding time tonight on Discovery Channel 8:00 p.m Who will be the next bounty on the line???
ARG!! I MISSED WHO WON THE 2021 BIG NUT!!! ARG!! WAS IT...HYYYYDRAAA!!!
Go Go Witch Doctor!
I wouldn’t mind Andrea’s bounty or booty.
I just saw the match between sub zero and malice and i think its bullsh1t malice lost because that stupid drone that flies around the arena got 2 close to malice causing malice to get stuck then counted out the damn drone is not a contender in the match
Been waiting for this one
Tombstone is gonna drop into the battle box & whoop every shiny metal ass in the building !
WITCH DOCTOR!
Sub Zero gets a crap win. That pussy should have gone after Malace and actually beat them. Subzero could never have won that fight. I'm guessing Malace gets a very slight redesign for their next fight that will prevent that balancing act.
STUPENDOUS FIGHT!!!
remember when tombstone reigned supreme
I found these on youtube that were uploaded about 3 weeks ago no need to wait lol

I hope they do a rematch of Skorpios v. Tombstone in the upcoming season. I think Tombstone's major vulnerabilities were highlighted last year and it will be interesting to see how Ray addresses them.
I hope they can have an audience this year!!!
all spinners make the same mistake......they absorb their own shock. builders haven't figured out the secret.....
Is it official that there will be a new 2021 season?

THE DOCTOR IS IN: Eight teams battle it out for an appointment with the Witch Doctor, This Thursday 8pm on Discovery! ... See MoreSee Less
We’re honored to be the Bounty this week, and can’t wait to battle versus one of these bots! Such a variety of bots to prepare to fight against!
I Haven’t seen yet. Should be decent but honestly there’s no way these bots stand a chance against Witch Doctor. Huge and Valkyrie if they are in perfect operational form but I’m expecting Witch Doctor to win this one!
I have seen all of the Bounty fights. I subscribed to Discovery+ primarily for two programs. Now these are coming to cable TV. The rest of the shows on Plus I have already seen or aren't worth watching. Being disappointed with Discovery Plus.
No spoilers, “but there’s a 2 for 1 Special” that is one of the coolest things I’ve seen on BattleBots Excellent tournament!
Can't wait - it's gonna be epic!!!
Concerned... I’ve heard this was filmed prior to the regular season and Witch Doctor was having a lot of issues at the start of that. Would love to see it scrap some bots, but... might see another legend go down
We want RUSTY!!!!
Why are you posting these as if they haven't already been released? We've all seen I and we all know what happens.
Witch doctor is my favorite
Let's hope it's better than last week. It was a little slow until the last two matches. But love us some BB!!
Why are these no longer being uploaded to Discovery+ ?
***Please add 2 more boxes to write in- who competes against bounty hunter and the WINNER
Seeing as it got beat badly in this years season, why is it the bounty bot?
Yes!
The Doctor might give you a diagnosis that you wont be able to fix. No matter how many techs got you!! 🤷🏻
Landon Reed
It is interesting that people rarely refer to Witch Doctor as a "she", in the way that Mega Tento, Chomp, and Valkyrie are. (I actually think it is pretty cool when builders gender their bots. Gives personality although Witch Doctor has plenty of that already!)
I though Icewave was next?
Yessssss! The Doctor is in! ☠️
These match ups look pretty predictable, i think... Valk > extinguisher Sub zero > pain train Malice > tracer Huge > slap box Just based on track records. After that its tough to call between valk and sub. I think huge will beat malice. Huge over all i think has the best chance to beat witch doctor
I Bet Its Huge And Witch Doctor
Go team Witch Doctor - BattleBot 💀💚💜🖤
Shawn Pierce Malice.

Battle bots on tour please shut up and take my damn money now
Hopefully the arena is okay with someone taking a chunk out of the floor... an inch of ice isn't as tough as it sounds.
Battlebots........on ICE! I have my routine ready
Please don't tease us like this. It would be awesome if Season 6 were to be held someplace like the Forum!
Bringing back Icewave after all ‘eh?
Stop teasing me now because this box is so damn good in the way it looks and I love tonight's episode
Potential season 6 locations? Somewhere closer to the east coast. Somewhere closer to the east coast 🤞🏻
Solves the uneven floor complaints.
BattleBots on ice!? I think this might give full body spinners an unfair advantage as they are big hockey pucks.
wouldnt mind seeing drone race/battlebots cross over of some kind....
Would be a good time to start making little tire chains for traction...
Battlebots on Ice tour
A Battle Bots Arena tour perhaps?
I see what you're doing... Leveling the playing field for Ginsu... Brilliant
mech madness irl
Imagine Chomp ice skating, or rather a 500lb Bambi on ice.
BB on the rocks.
No more floor issues, just run the zamboni after each match.
Touring? TOURING?!?!?! OMG YES PLEASE!!!!
Well flamethrower weaponry would definitely be more interesting...
What country is the field in?
Duck at the ducks?
I think that the 1 bot who would have an advantage is CHOMP
Give hypershock some tire chains and he'll take the tournament
Now you are just teasing!
