Both Bots have won The Most Destructive Robot Award🥇… So let's see them take on each other. Don't miss the mayhem of this main event. #BattleBots Fight Night: Tomorrow night (Friday) at 8pm on Discovery
Good luck Rotator!!!!this will be a good match.
Rip rotator nice knowing ya
Hope Chris and Kenny will have there hard hats on for all the shrapnel that will be flying out of the arena when tombstone dismantles rotator.
RIP Rotator!
Hope Rotator can out drive Tombstone and finally be the one that puts that bot in its grave. So sick of Tombstone and its self-centered driver.
RIP Rotator 😀
Rip rotator
RIP RotatoR
Cheering for Rotator on this one
The only hope for rotator is that the titanium wedge holds up otherwise the greatest bot has secured a place in top 16
Hope the wheels will last.
Well, I guess tombstone's battery could always die after start up
The tombstone show. 3rd main event in 7 weeks. Yawn.
Undefeated Duck! should be there. No respect for the Quack Attack! Vendici Mia!
My money is on Tombstone
Easy win for Tombstone.
Very weak main event.. cannot see tombstone loosing this one
Someone might end up with the most destroyed award as well 🥇
Go Rotator!!!!
Well. That's spicy. I'll get the lager.
Tombstone vs Rotator? Hmm....🤔🤔🤔🤔. The most destructive bot or the icewave killer?
Is it my imagination that rotators driver looks like a younger version of tombstones driver.
Don't mess with Texas, or robots that have their axes backwards. Let them mess with each other. BattleBots is on Science Channel now on the east coast and other regions (check your local listings) #BattleBots.
This was actually a decent fight for a science channel exclusive fight
love watching battlebots we now seeing the 2018 shows here now on fridays.
I wish there wasn’t so much filler in the shows
Watching again had to cheer for Witch Doctor
I love watching Battlebots I can't wait for Friday night's robot beat down
that had to hurt
Best Fight EVER!!
Who should texas twister fight next?
Texas will win
Texas will win
Since, 🤔 Humans that fight need 'Vaseline, Bandaids🤕 and Alcohol for injuries' 🤧what do the 🤖s need? 👩🏼🏭👨🔧
Way to go Texas twister
More dismemberments, please
WHO HAS SCIENCE CHANNEL THOUGH?!
It's just not complete without Duck!. Bring back the Quack Attack!
Y u guys no post Shatter vs Wan Hoo
I hope Axe Backwards makes a much better showing, this time around.
Don't miss tonight's bonus fight on BattleBots, 9pm (ET) on Science Channel (check your local listings for the exact time in your area).
What a different type of sneak peek. I wonder why? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Do they sell tickets to see this live?? Where do they take place. My son wants to go sooo bad
“Give him the wheels” Famous last words
Axe-backwards is a unique design, and i hope it does well for that reason. But other drums are more tried and true like Yeti and Minotaur
Who were last weeks bonus fight between
Never seen these 2 before
I really want to see Axe Backwards succeed, to show that full-body drums are viable.
😎ooo this is going be good🖒
Why are Axe Backwards wheels covered in tape?

Two POS's is a bonus fight?
Hopefully axe backwards is working
Hats off to Tormach Inc. for sponsoring BattleBots 2019. Please watch this video to witness the incredible amount of work that Tormach performed for all the robot fighting teams. We simply could not do BattleBots without sponsors like Tormach.
“Increadible” or incredible. Either way, good stuff. Thanks.
Great sponsor.
Thank you Tormach!
Thanks for making Duck! a powerhouse.
This is really interesting. I'd like to see a "How It's Made" version of Battlebots, even though there isn't one way to make a battlebot.
Tried to become a battlebots supporter- but got this error message
Its Twombstone finally! LOL
There's a Bradley Warren Hanstad appearance
🚨SPOILER ALERT 🚨 Robots weren't meant to fly. 💥🤖
More bots. More battles. Watch #BattleBots Fridays at 8p on Discovery | Wednesdays at 9pm on Science Channel.
One of the best of the night! There were 3 amazing wins that night
Best of the night
That was so awesome fight! The best episode of this season so far 😍
That's the most awesome show of force I've seen yet!
amazing best thing on science or discovery
It is a ton of fun watching spinners, but flippers are on a whole other level. Definitely glad we have another contender this year when it comes to flippers. Hail Hydra!
Wish this was on dvd so can watch over and over come on put to dvd
Bring back Duck!. The Quack Attack Demands Respect! Vendici Mia!
The first thing to come out of my mouth when I saw this match on Friday was “Warhawk gave birth to triplets” XD
I hereby dub damage of this type as being "de-Voltroned".
I'd like to know who makes those rubber isolators for Warhawk so I can avoid them.
One of the best fights!
At this point I’m starting to believe that Hydra is actually more powerful than Bronco
It's almost a shame as it was shaping up as a great fight till then! Still, can't argue against how impressive that flipper is and a robot falling into pieces! Great entertainment
What an epic battle so nice to see shreds all over the place
CRAZY how WAR Hawk looked like he STILL wanted to keep going buuuuuut was kind of seperated 😉 GREAT BATTLE!!!!
This is easily my all time favorite fight!
Don't underestimate the power of something small they are alot tougher than you know
I think Bronco has serious serious competition. I don't remember a flipper breaking an opponent apart like this before. Hydraulics can definitely work for a flipper. Flipping heck.
Amazing. Even better than bronco. Unbelievable that Hydra broke war hawk.
One of the best battles of the year. Hydra is fierce!
Hahaha... so entertaining.
🎯 AND, he crazier than a chef. 🥞 🍪 🍔
What’s happening here? Wrong answers only.
"Ugh, why'd we have to get the ref who shouts super loud?"
They seem like such nice folks and their bot looks great. I hope they do better very soon.
Windows 10 needs an urgent Update, please wait...
Guys, this new hand lotion smells AMAZEBALLS!
Practicing for the role of Hagrid in the local amateur theatre re-enactment of Harry Potter "I shouldn't have said that... I should not have said that"
They have been evaluating my life choices
" I cant believe I just traveled across the globe to get knocked out within 30 seconds twice "
“I will now demonstrate how to properly use an axe” -The ref, probably.
“The meat goes inside the taco like THIS!” “Dude, I’m trying to tell you, we are NOT making tacos!”
"It's time to make the doughnuts."
I can’t believe you wore that today!
Aw no! I glued my hand to my face again!
“Dangit, I opened iTunes.”
Dammit,I gave my shopping list to Faruq instead of presenting the bot
"Please remove item from bagging area and wait for assistance."
When you hear the door unlocking and realizing you forgot to take the chicken out the freezer
Faruq farted in the battle box, and the construction of the box itself acts as a perfect reverberation chamber, making it one of the most epic sounding farts of all time. The judge advises him that its a knock-out fart.
That moment when you hear Faruq's introduction for your battlebot.
The face you make when you know that you provide good entertainment from winning as much as loosing 👌😂🍺
"Not the new Minotaur, too!"
“I can’t get a moment’s peace around here...”
Tim massively regrets picking "Rock" as the Ref slams down his "Paper"
The Ref is trying to teach the guys how to use the axe on their bot.
Dammit Jim! You put the lime in the coconut, not the coconut in the lime...
They ate a crave case of sliders then realized they're out of toilet paper.
AMA with team WAR Hawk - Battlebot today at 7pm PT over at Reddit.com/r/BattleBots
People everywhere are making jokes, but Emmanuel and Kevin are providing every detail of what happened, pics, etc. This is perhaps the most knowledge-intensive AMA of the season and even teams are learning from it.
I think they need to get ahold of the manufacturer of their rubber insulators for a warranty claim.
Just give it up. There was nothing special about this bot other than it being the battlebots version of the redskins.
AMA the insurance company?
The 3 horseman?
Rest in Pieces Warhawk 😢
You guys got some fixin' to do!
How do they feel their multibot strategy is working?
AMA with Gruff - BattleBot today at 7pm ET over at Reddit.com/r/BattleBots
A pretty simple bot, but proven effective! Though i dont know why people keep trying flame throwers. They do so little little. But as flame cannons go, Gruff's seems fairly consistent at least
Very impressive flamer. Well done!
Their defense is something to be admired. Really made Copperhead work for that victory
When I see Gruff's flames, I totally forgot about Free Shipping
Gruff has the coolest flamer. Having the coolest anything is always great.
Excellent team
I'm 100% on the Gruff train! Fire and flips!
Biggest obstacle with flamers is not setting themselves on fire. Gruff's does seem the most effective I've seen though.
The only thing these guys need is cooler shirts and more self confidence.
Johnny LeGendre
I felt they won on aggression
Gruff was close to being 2-0, could have melted those huge Copperhead tires into rubber soup.
LOVED that flamer!! Can you get it to work for longer? And hotter?
The only flame that looks like it is actually decent and can do something to a bot
Duck! is being disrespected. More on the mighty Quack Attack, please.
Cool
They definitely dominated that match. Copperhead had no control whatsoever and spent most it's time flailing about
A flamer that is a serious active weapon. Love the bot, but if they had that flamer centered, coupled with a grapple device, it could be a serious KO machine.
I don't remember seeing their first fight, was it aired and I just missed it? Either way I was very impressed with their flame thrower, looking forward to seeing more from Gruff.
That Flamethrower is epic also a pretty tough bot.
🚨SPOILER ALERT 🚨& Parent Advisory, your BattleBots Update for Episode 4 is up!
BattleBots: S9 E4 - BattleBots Update
This week's fight card is predominately the "round two's" of a lot of robot's we've already seen. The main event pits Tombstone against Sawblaze both of whom won their earlier battles against Lock-Jaw...It was great to see blacksmith finally get a confident win. I know the bot has some age but they are such a staple of the community, especially on the east coast where I am.
TOTAL DEVASTATION! Parts flying all over the arena! Are these boys duct taped together? 😂🤣😂🤣
Points to Elly's driver for the Full Rimmer salute!
Never seen so many parts flying before 😂😂
If Biteforce can make it to the finals against Tombstone it will be a great fight. I'm certain they got the weapon chain drive issue resolved on Tombstone and it is much more robust now.
I need to catch the first half of the episode somewhere, my recording FUBAR'd itself
Hopefully as the show grows in popularity we will see the show in simulcast across the globe
twice bittten
Was shocked by a couple of the quick battles ending in destruction.
Looking foward to seeing the big fight Between tombstone and biteforce,.. that's gonna be one heck of a battle.
Fix the damn floor
BITE-FORCE is one DURABLE bot!
A hollow night without Duck!.
No if only it would show up on Discovery GO already!
When are you showing in the U.K?? 😢😢
When is this years series being shown in the UK? 😭
A hollow night without Duck!.
Glorious carnage awaits those who turn on their television sets and switch to Discovery #BattleBots Fight Night is on NOW! And stay after for Savage Builds - the new series by former BattleBots builder and Judge Adam Savage
I’m watching the show now, I love the show
Love Faruq!
That was the most epic episode until now. So much action, destruction and so many surprising outcomes. Just perfect
My sister watches for the carnage. She was very happy tonight.
This might have been the best episode, beginning to end, ever.
I am there now!!! I am soooo excited!!! 😎
Imagine if japan take this fights to the anime...lol
Wow! An amazing amount of carnage tonight. Never seen so many bots literally ripped apart. AWESOME!!!
Sooooo disappointed with Branco tonight. I miss my bot! Hope they bring their game next time. 😕
I’m glad I dvr . Way to many commercials this year .
That was the greatest episode of all time!
Ragna-flop needs to go home and work on improving their bot. They've only been operational for like 10 seconds or so between their 2 fights. Both have been 1 hit KOs. Friday's fight was all of 3½ seconds.
All of the fights are great.
it doesn't look like you are going to have judges explain their decision during episodes. tonight the commentary crew tried to explain judges decisions a bit, but I wonder if you could find an ex judge or someone even more familiar with the rules to give some thoughts on close decisions. when you watch football or basketball now they have ex officials explain rules.
Show is great!, Faruq needs to go, and 2 hours is a little much for 15 mins (if your lucky) of battle bots.🤷♂️
That first match was beyond words. Flipped into 3 pieces!!
in the finale they often need to fill up some time. if free shipping and yeti don't get to the final seeing another match between those two would be entertaining. much more than some random bot being sacrificed to tombstone.
Great Fights Tonight!
WOW!!!! Just WOW!!!! I knew it was going to be an amazing Bot fighting night!
Oh my gawd!!! That has to be the most destructive episode I've seen!
As I was bailing hay I thought... hydra and my kicker bailer aren't so much different.
So what constitutes when Kenny Florian shakes hands or just pats on the shoulder?
I like bite force, but was hoping to see it being launched by bronco 😆
Wow bronco was out classed in every way possible
POOF. Sparks flying everywhere! #BattleBots
For the first time ever, legendary flipper Bronco takes on the 2018 Champion Bite Force. This fight has me all verklempt so please discuss amongst yourselves. Don't miss BattleBots, tonight 8pm (ET) on Discovery (check your local listings for the exact time in your area). And don't miss Savage Builds, staring our friend Adam Savage right after BattleBots.
Very Excited! We have been wondering when we get to see Bronco back in action.
This is going to be an amazing match! I can hardly wait till tonight!!! I can’t even pick a winner for this match, I like them both equally. 😎
I hope Bronco was able to protect those damn wheels this match!
My kid loves bronco, to the point we had all of the videos I could find on YouTube looping through a projector at his birthday party. And had Dairy Queen put a picture in the cake.
I love the tension they built up with this one, explaning everything very clearly.
Did the episode on Wednesday not air? I remember reading something about how it wouldn’t, but I thought that was last week. Time Means nothing to me, so I don’t keep track.
I can’t wait! BRONCO!!!!
What a hype video! Whoever is editing these video packages are doing are brilliant job.
Ughhhh nooooooo. We've got a storm coming in and now we've lost our satellite signal 5 minutes before showtime. Bronco is my favorite and I was waiting all season for him! 😠 Edit: Well, I got my signal back and caught plenty of bot action, including watching my fave Bronco absolutely failing tonight. It guts me when he fails. I miss those epic flips. 😒
Waiting for 🤪unexpected surprises.
This is a great fight in the making
BattleBots: would love to see the judges’ scoring breakdowns on decisions, with at least a brief analysis. Could you post the scoring system under plot outline under “about”—for quick reference? Great to have that handy without having to dig through a link. (I know, I should have it memorized. 🤓)
I can't wait to see this fight!
It is an honor to face Bronco!
My 2 cents on the main event. Soon as Bronco raised its flipper at the wrong time, Bite Force chewed the end off and that was it. Am I surprised at the result? Not really. At this point, it may be a show down between Bite Force and Tombstone.
This is probably the most hyped I am for a match
Ooh. Not sure who my money is on in this one. The best flipper in the competition against last year’s champ. I think I’m going to bet on Biteforce by decision (with the stipulation that IF Bronco puts Paul Ventimiglia’s bot up into the lighting grid, the fight is over: Bronco wins...) Either way, going to be a great fight.
Can't walt for this match. This could be epic!
I fear for Broncos wheels. But if they stay on the whole time he has this fight I think.
Put it back on regular Hulu!!!!!!
Bronco needs the first hit. If he is able to flip Bite Force and possibly getting him on his back, Bronco stands a good chance of getting Bite Force out of the arena. If Bite Force is able to get the first hit, then they’re gonna keep hitting and pushing Bronco all over the box and win with either a 1:30 knockout or a unanimous decision.
If Bronco wins I fully expect the boys to pound all hell out the lexan like the time they beat Hazard 😎💪
Friday's Fight Card is full of Buckers and Brawlers: Let us know your predictions, and be sure to tune-in Friday night at 8pm (ET) on Discovery.
Fourteen teams battle it out with their eyes set on making the Top 16. Rookie flipper, Hydra, takes on WAR Hawk to try and prove their first fight wasn’t a fluke. Yeti is throwing strategy out the door against Free Shipping, and for the first time ever, the returning champ, Bite Force, is taking on the legendary flipper, Bronco!
Great driving Gruff and Copperhead, impressive!!
Finally! I've been waiting to see bronco!
I wish Icewave was in it this year I miss them. That bit just sounded badass haha
Love bronco but this will be a tough first battle.
What happen to tombstone? I miss the destruction he causes.
My picks this week are: Bronco Hydra Skorpios Valkyrie Yeti Gruff Hypershock Marvin
Here's imo on the fights. Hypershock is definitely in the mix in the round of 16. Looks like Monsoon is headed for desperado which is surprising. I'm not really sold on Copperhead. It seems rather fragile out there. Same goes for Yeti. I think Ragnarok's builders need to reconsider the overall design. I just don't think it works properly and the axe hinge is always exposed. Skorpios is round 16 material. Far as Hydra, I have a bit more positivity for it, but I'm wondering how its going to fair against the top bots. Far as the main event, I think Bronco can still make the round of 16. Bite Force continues to be one of the big favorites.
Petunia, Hypershock, Copperhead, Yeti, Valkyrie, Sidewinder, Hydra and Bronco are my winning predictions
Bronco, Hydra, Skorpios, Valkyrie, Yeti, Copperhead, Hypershock and Marvin are my predictions to win.
Go Bronco. I see a ring out in your future.
Hydra, Sidewinder, Valkyrie, Yeti, Copperhead, Monsoon, Bronco. My predictions for this week.
A must dvr watch, 20 minutes of action and 100 minutes of talk and commercials.
Yeti v free shipping will be a good slog!! Hard to call a few of these but gotta to for the British lads 👍 Monsoon to win. Also allot of people picking Valkyrie over Ragnarock... it’s got a good solid wedge on that... I think it could take some hits, pin Valkyrie and get some blows in.
My predictions: Biteforce over Bronco Hydra over Warhawk Skorpios over Sidewinder Valkyrie over Ragnarök Yeti over Free Shipping Copperhead over Crush Hyperschock over Monsoon
Interesting fight card for this one.
I'm most looking forward to seeing what Sidewinder is all about.
I think Bite Force is going to take Bronco. Also the fight I'm looking forward to is Yeti vs Free shipping. It may not be a big hitting fight, but I feel it will be a good fight!
Ahhh, Bronco. Let's see if we can't add a new notch to the battle box height marking. Kind of like measuring your child on the wall as they grow bigger.
Hypershock vs Monsoon is going to be very interesting. I really, really hope Bronco is in attack mode and not "wait and see... Oh we're screwed" mode.
Finally Bronco shows up! Tough break going against Biteforce for the first match.
These guys picking Bronco must not have seen the Witch Doctor vs Bronco fight at the ReMars event. Or any of Bite Force's fights last season. Bronco may have a chance but he's definitely the underdog.
does everyone seem to forget bronco is not good against small fast little verts losing to minatour, whiplash and witch doctor and biteforce is the best of them
Bite force will be launched...Bronco wins KO War Hawk will be flung around the box.. Hydra wins KO Skorios win judges decision Valkyrie wins Yeti wins Copperhead rips Gruff apart Monnnnnsooooooon wins Marvin has been bulked up and will win over Petunia
Escalated to see Bronco return!! Been a fan for long time.
War Hawk, Skorpios, Ragnarok, Yeti, Gruff, Monsoon, Petunia and Bite Force. Watch me be wrong.
