(LOS ANGELES) –Who’s ready for a Sin City showdown? BATTLEBOTS, the world’s premier robot fighting competition, is back and more ferocious than ever. For the record, Icewave knocked out Razorback in like a minute, which wasn’t nearly as entertaining as a man in a referee shirt yelling “ We’re done” as if he was genuinely concerned for the health of this robot.BATTLEBOTS Premieres Thursday, January 6 at 8 PM ET/PT on Discovery Another, Razorback, gets this priceless gem of an introduction: “Get ready to ROCKY MOUNTAIN DIE!” One robot, Icewave, is described as having an “unquenchable thirst for destruction, that’s only served in one way. One small child in particular has an absolute fucking conniption, as if the one dream he has harbored in his short life was to see these two robots bump into each other again and again. Without robot fighting the lives of these crowd members are meaningless. Every fight is proceeded by Tauheed-I want to say announcing but it’s more like screaming-the phrase “AER YOU READY? IT’S ROBOT FIGHTING TIME.” This is when the crowd hits peak oil-lust. Ring Announcer Faruq Tauheed is tasked with speaking some of the greatest sentences ever uttered, in front of a rabid crowd that is apparently fueled by the sight of robots fighting.
