The first 5 weeks will be play-in tournaments (no bounty bot stuff this time around) and the 5 bots that advance from those will join the 3 most recent BattleBots world champions in a Tournament of Champions in the final episode. The first play-in tournament tonight features a few veterans like Rotator, Skorpios, and Valkyrie, as well as the recently re-designed Kraken and a few newer bots to the competition. As a reminder, please put any discussion of match results under spoiler tags until 24 hours after the episode airs out of consideration for people who can't watch the episode live, especially if you decide to watch the episode early on Discovery+ or MAX before it airs on TV. Showtime for us TV viewers is 8PM EST tonight on Discovery, or you can check it out on the streaming options I mentioned above. I made the topic a few hours early this time just to get the news and reminder tags out for some people who posted in BB topics in the past: @KFHEWUI @Starks @DuneMan @Compsognathus @ANort175 @LostForest @PiOverlord @NightRender @thronedfire2 @Torgo --- https://i.imgur.com/PmF1p9q.jpg ...

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dkl0Dm0ihGM Nice. It's a shame that Ray and Tombstone had to miss the WC7 tapings due to his injury, but hopefully he's back for WC8. thronedfire2 posted... oh shit thanks for the tag, I forgot all about this No problem, I always do it for the first episode of a season or side series, and I remembered you mentioning you were watching the previous seasons. Did you make it through WC7, the most recent one? If not, then watching this side series would spoil who wins that, so keep that in mind. --- https://i.imgur.com/PmF1p9q.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

I love Battlebots, but I'm admittedly several seasons behind. My current favorite is Witch Doctor. I have no idea how long they're even a thing, or if they stay competitive, or whatever, though.
EDIT: Oh, I also love Minotaur, too. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR! Get Paid! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Why wasn't I @'d? I love BB. Aside from thronedfire2 (who made a separate topic mentioning they were watching past seasons) I just checked the archive for the final topic of WC7 and the post announcing Champions 2 and tagged as many fans as I saw in those topics. I didn't see you in there, so that's why you didn't get a tag. Sorry. thronedfire2 posted... yeah I finished it a few days ago. can't believe how many robots were on fire that last season especially in the early episodes Good to hear. And yeah, there was quite a bit of fire. StealThisSheen posted... I love Battlebots, but I'm admittedly several seasons behind. My current favorite is Witch Doctor. I have no idea how long they're even a thing, or if they stay competitive, or whatever, though. I won't tell you any exact results in case you decide to go watch those seasons yourself, but Witch Doctor and Minotaur are among the all-stars of the sport, pretty much always competitive. Aside from the first 2 seasons that aired on ABC and not Discovery (which were pretty scuffed and feel outdated now) all of the seasons of the modern BB reboot should be on D+ and MAX if you want to try and catch up. --- https://i.imgur.com/PmF1p9q.jpg ...

Cool. I actually got wind of this yesterday and was going to send a PM to you if I didn't see anything about it today. Thanks for the mention.

I didn't see it a couple hours ago, and Im assuming they'd suggest it to me since I just watched all 7 seasons in like a month >_> I've got 10 minutes left of this movie then I'll check --- I could see you, but I couldn't hear you You were holding your hat in the breeze Turning away from me In this moment you were stolen... ...

I don't have either to check for myself, but the BattleBots subreddit does have a thread titled "Go here to discuss the early showing of Battlebots: Champions II Episode 1 on Discovery+ and Max - everywhere else is strictly off-limits [SPOILERS]" so that's why I assumed the episode was already on there. --- https://i.imgur.com/PmF1p9q.jpg ...

If it doesn't show up at 8, that'll be the end of my D+ sub. I think it's the new post-merger policy.

15 minutes away. After the episode, I'll look around the subreddit more and see if there's still early streaming on D+/MAX or if that's done.

All of the damage to Valkyrie was cosmetic. There was a lot of it and it does count, but quality of damage matters.
