Loved Diator, anyone remember its moment of glory when it somehow beat Tornado (which we all agree was the most boring robot)
So years ago now, well before Covid, I did a regular pub quiz. One of the people brought along a mate. We chatted for a while and then time came to come up with a team name. My mate says ‘oh well it has to be Chaos 2’. Turns out the mate’s mate was Me Chaos 2!
What was the one that used to arrive in a limo with all its crew acting like butlers/bodyguards?
Such a great show
Robot Wars is on one of those perpetual channels on PlutoTV if anyone is interested
DIATOR HAS CAUGHT ON FIRE!
One of my old managers appeared on it. He’d made it out of a whisky cask so naturally the thing was set on fire
Did Sir K once pick it up and hold it over one of the flame traps or am I misremembering?
Oh my. I forgot about this chap. Loved that show.
I played the hell out of the Robot Wars game on PlayStation. Was quite an evening when I’d been told in school, the cheat (set your name to Jonathan Pearce) for unlimited money to make any robot you wanted.
When this one entered the arena, you know Sgt Bash was gonna be one of the house robots.
I love Robot Wars. It’s the innovators like Diotoir doing something different that used to really catch my attention.
Speaking of which, my favourite was Hypno-Disc, some of its opponents were ripped to shreds:

new series was doomed to fail with his absence, creativity and fun is more important than a finals with 6 drum spinners
Was this little Robot called Nemesis or Diator? 🤔
In flames every single time, regardless of whether the other robot had flame-throwing capability.
Christ, there’s a memory. I think it was The Simpsons at 6 and then Robot Wars. I used to love that programme.
One of the most beautiful creations on the show imo
I’ve still got my sons r/c house bots! They still work, too
I still think about Mortis
Chaos 2 my goat. The flippers in general always made for the most entertaining fights, and Chaos 2 always seemed to have the strongest flipper.

No one will ever top this beauty
CEASE!

It had a great legacy too, with competitors having pieces of its pelt on various robots (and about their person) for years.
Can’t mention Robot Wars without this banger https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zs7Y_GcjQoM
Did diodor win anything at all?
Plenty of reasons to not like the BBC but the fact they cancelled this show twice is definitely up there
