Current Events > BattleBots 2018 Episode 3 discussion topic *spoilers*

(+) Yeah! (+)

Tonight on the Discovery Channel (and re-played next Wednesday on the Science Channel) the main-event features the season 1 champion Bite Force taking on a robot as proficient at destruction as it is in gardening, Hypershock. Will Bite Force come out with a win, or will the former champion meet its rakening in this battle?



Also on the card tonight is a technical battle between two tough and gritty veterans, Overhaul and Sawblaze, and a rumble match featuring a total of six robots, including the "clusterbot" known as The Four Horsemen. We're only about 15 minutes away from another awesome hour of metal mayhem. IT'S ROBOT FIGHTIN' TIME!

Overhaul vs. Sawblaze is kicking off the show. Two teams formed around MIT graduates, featuring former teammates/friends turned enemies. This will be interesting.

Sawblaze beat Overhaul, Whiplash knocked out Hypothermia, The Four Horsemen (minus one) won the rumble, Warhawk ripped Axe Backwards a new axehole, Bite Force completely disemboweled Hypershock (I'll try to find a gif as soon as possible) and no one else posted in this topic. I might not bother with it next week, there doesn't seem to be enough interest. Oh well...

I popped in to see if there was a gif of the last fight.

Oh darn.

Trust me, I've been trying to find one, and I'll post it as soon as I get my hands on it. Twitter and r/BattleBots haven't come through for me yet

I found the episode online and made the gif myself. Also made some other gifs too.

Whiplash rips off Hypothermia's tire:


Whiplash shows off the unique aspect of its weapon by attacking from another angle:

Bite Force and Hypershock collide weapon-on-weapon, Hypershock is down for the count:


Rest in pieces, Hypershock. Press F to pay respects:

Does Hulu have these episodes or any way I can see them legally besides cable or live when they air?

You have two legal options, both only available to viewers in the United States. You can watch them on Amazon Video immediately after they premiere on the Discovery Channel every Friday night, but it costs $20 for the full season. Alternatively, the Science Channel website uploads each episode when it airs on their channel, which is five full days after the original Discovery Channel airing. But the Science Channel airing usually includes a bonus segment, and is completely free to watch for anyone in the US.

If you're in another country, then unfortunately, your only options are using a VPN to access one of the sites I mentioned above, or just flat-out pirating the episode. I will not provide any links to either of those things, so if you want to go that route, you're on your own.
