My Robot Wars quiz

It looks like we havent had many Rovot Wars quizzes on this forum, so I decided to make my own, if anyones interested. I apologize in advance if any of these questions are too easy, too difficult, or badly worded. I have a total of 19 questions to prevent ties, every answer is worth 1 point. For the winer, Ive left a prize at the outh Pole, or alternately, you could settle for bragging rights.

Without any further ado, first question:
Name a robot team that satisfies both of the following:
A. Has gotten an opponent out of the arena
B. Has never reached a heat final

Ill enter.

General Carnage.

there could still be ties, even with 19 points lol.

I am going to go for General Carange 2 :p lol

Combatant?

(hey, if I cant win, may as well get points for obtuse answers :proud:)

General Carnage 2.

Question to Martyn...ties are possible...how? I mean, unless 19 different people answer. And besides, the question has already been answered (by me).

People are just copying the answer...
Theyre all going to tie!

Liam: I thought it went without saying that the first person to answer gets the point. At any rate, thats the way it goes. Christopher was first, so he gets the point

Score:
Christopher Mason 1

Question 2:
Name any judges decision that has gone in Panic Attacks favor

Oh, sorry Ian, I see what you mean now.

As for the question, Panic Attacks elmininator in series 4 went in their favour.
Panic Attack v SMIDSY v Overkill GTi
By a JD PA and SMIDSY go through.

By definition, Panic Attacks first round battle in the Commonwealth Carnage also went in its favour...He and Crushtacean won over Terror Turtle (Cerberus had already been beaten).

Both answers are accpetable, but Liam answered first, so the point is his.

Score:
Christopher Mason 1
Liam Eliot 1

Question 3:
Name 3 competitors that have made appearances in every video game

OK:

Chaos 2
Razer
FireStorm

From RW Extreme Destruction, RW Arenas Of Destruction and Robot Arena 2.

I presume you mean those 3.

If you count the Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance games, it was only Chaos 2 and Pussycat that appeared in all of them. (RW Metal Mayhem (GBC), Arenas Of Destruction, Extreme Destruction, and the GBA one whose name escapes me)

Joeys right. I counted, and between the five games (Metal Mayhem, Advanced Destruction, Arenas Of Destruction and both versions of Extreme Destruction), theres only two that appeared in all of them. The total list...

FIVE
Chaos 2
Pussycat

FOUR
Panic Attack
Behemoth
Firestorm
Diotoir
Razer
Hypno-Disc

THREE
Wheely Big Cheese
Thermidor 2
Tornado
Dominator 2
101

TWO
Mortis
Stinger
Plunderbird 5
Terrorhurtz
Panzer MK4

ONE
Sir Chromalot
Milly Ann Bug
Purple Predator
X-Terminator
Dundee
Scutters Revenge
Terminal Ferocity
Crasha Gnasha
Onslaught
Cassius 2
Suicidal Tendencies
The Revolutionist
Bigger Brother
Rosie The Riveter 2
Tricerabot 3.0
Propellor Head
Destructive Criticism

...which one was Onslaught in?

Advanced Destruction. I own all five games.

Sorry about that, I messed up. I thought Firestorm was in all five. At any rate, Joey had the corect answer.

Question 5:
Name two robots who changed their names for the sake of political correctness

Uh...

Diotoir (Nemesis)
Comengetorix (Vercingetorix)

:proud:?

Nope, those were just evolutions of previous robots...

Roadblock (originally Roadrage, changed before filming due to BBC request and lots of news stories about road rage incidents at the time)
Draven (originally Anthrax when filmed and first aired, changed in subsequent airings to Draven because they had the US anthrax scare going on at the time)

lol, I wouldnt know anything about that :P

Ah, but you see, I am terminally sad :proud:

Point for Joey, ending the possibility of a 19-way tie

Question 6:
Name 2 pairs of robots whose names rhyme with each other

Topbot and Mobot
Hydra and Shredder

quote:

Ah, but you see, I am terminally sad :proud:

Ill get you. :proud:

Joey: Hydra and Shredder dont rhyme the way I pronounce them, Im not quite sure of how you do. As for Topbot/Mobot, ususally the ending that rhyming words have in common begins with a vowel sound, so that ones kind of iffy.

Kody: Which series did Ill Get You participate in?

wo-wot and mobot

behemoth and topbot

:proud:

Technically not behemoth and topbot, but youve got the triad of topbot/wowot and mobot/wowot so Ill give it to you. I was thinking of Onslaught/Dreadnaut and Eric/Derek when I wrote this question

Question 8:
Name a robot team that satisfies both the following:
A. Has participated in 3 or more main competitions
B. Has never failed to make it to the semi-finals

Hypno-Disc

(they do rhyme the way I pronounce them, but that could be just me being weird)

Dominator II

Pussycat.

Uh...Bodyhammer (S2) went out in the gauntlet, in S3 Pussycat was disqualified from the heat final, and in S7 Pussycat only made the heat semi finals.
