https://twitter.com/BattleBots/status/1372503274394415105
So the official BattleBots Twitter/Facebook pages announced earlier this week that the Bounty Hunters side series, which was previously exclusive to the Discovery+ streaming service, is going to be shown on the Discovery Channel in BattleBots' normal time slot starting tonight. For those of us who haven't already subscribed to Discovery+ to watch it, that's six more weeks of BattleBots content on cable. And for those of you who did pay for a subscription to go watch it... congratulations, you got to watch it early, so please don't spoil the results for those of us who haven't seen it. https://i.imgur.com/kTkA1ja.jpg https://i.imgur.com/CZqktm1.jpg https://i.imgur.com/fIibxx6.jpg Since this was an unexpected thing and a lot of people may not even realize it's happening, I made this topic a couple hours early and I'm going to tag people who were regularly posting in the weekly discussion topics for the main series to let them know what's going on. @KFHEWUI @unclekoolaid73 @DuranOfForcena @NightRender @GallisOTK @DuneMan @RadiantJoyrock @Starks @PiOverlord @LostForest --- "Someday I too will fly... and find you again!" https://imgur.com/ORhDSgu ...

It's me. I'm the dummy that already payed for Discovery+, and have watched all but the last bounty.
I'll probably rewatch just the fights tonight and chime in in this topic though. --- Dedicated to D - 4/15/05 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Nice, good shit. It'll be fun to see Icewave and Son Of Whyachi in action again after they didn't compete in the main season.

Wait, the first episode happens tonight! I read this earlier somewhere else but assumed it would be later on. Thanks for letting me know. I haven't watched any of these (only know of one particular fight's results from the subreddit talking about it all the time, but of course I'll keep that to myself).
I like the format though, a nice self-contained tournament all to face a BatteBots legend. Can't wait to see Bronco as well and was missing it during the recent season. I think I might even watch it live tonight. --- Number of legendary 500 post topics: 33, 500th posts: 30; PiO ATTN: 5 RotM wins 1, LETTEN MY ARROW FLYEN TRUE ... Copied to Clipboard!

Thanks @Calwings .
Also, if I'm reading the brackets right, SMEEEEEEEEEE is facing Mammoth at some point? That should be a hilarious fight. If Mammoth can hook SMEEEEEEEEEE just right I imagine it could catapult it up into the light fixtures. That would be amazing. Well, that or the fight could be a total flop, but I'm hoping for something funny. --- "I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray me." -Cao Cao ... Copied to Clipboard!

Those three were sorely missed during the main competition, and I do think this self-contained format works well as a side series.

Yes sir! I was looking at the cable guide and noticed these were playing on TV and not just on their streaming service.
AWSOME!!!!!! Will DVR and watch later tonight. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Let's get this show on the road (or in the air, if Bronco's flipper works well) because IT'S ROBOT FIGHTIN' TIME!

Gotta say, I wasn't the least bit surprised at who made it to the final to determine the 'bounty hunter'. Both were solid bots.
As for Bronco, I can't help but find myself agreeing that they are both legends and dinosaurs at this point. Heck, even Tombstone is looking long-in-the-tooth these days. For next week's episode, I wouldn't be surprised if Skorpios and Hypershock are fighting to determine who will take on the gas-guzzling Icewave. I dunno if it'll happen, but there would be a lulz factor if Gigabyte survives to take on Son of Whyachi. The battle box would become a giant pinball arena. --- "I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray me." -Cao Cao ... Copied to Clipboard!
