BattleBots Is Coming Back To TV, Bros

Remember BattleBots? Of course you do. If you are a Bro between the ages of 25 and 35, BattleBots was must-watch TV. It was on Comedy Central, which made no damn sense, but who cares. It was robots fighting to the death. That shit was awesome. You watched robots fight to the death.

Now, it’ll be on ABC. Per Deadline, the network is giving the show a six-episode run this summer.

Twelve years after BattleBots ended its run on Comedy Central, ABC has picked up a reimagined take of the killer robot combat sport, from Whalerock Industries and the creators of the original BattleBots franchise, Ed Roski and Greg Munson. Former ABC topper Lloyd Braun executive produces the project, which has received a six-episode order to air this summer.

Like the original, the new series will feature homemade robots battling against each other in a single elimination tournament style format, until there is one champion.

Fuck yes. And think. 2003 was ancient times. That was before iPhones and tablets and laptops and steam engines and the wheel and HD TV. We have so much technology now. So much. These robots are gonna be amazing and they are going to CRUSH. Crush.

Crush. You will definitely watch. But not until this summer. So for now, watch the ten best BattleBots moments.

Holy shit, that show had Carmen Electra? I completely forgot about that.
