Which robots took part?
Dantomkia
Behemoth
Kat 3
Panic Attack
Pussycat
King B
Bigger Brother
Firestorm
All Stars will take up a whole show.
Same format as a Heat in the main UK Series.
2 x 4 way melees
2 x semi
1 final.
Mr Stu
Cool my fav would be dantomkia or pussycat ;) whens this on tv?
I think a 2nd World Championship-style tournament with all 16 seeds (minus ones like Ming) would have been better. Why are Kat and King B taking part?
Funny, there was a post on the RW Forum that Gyrobot and Corkscrew were taking part?
A little more spinner action eh...
It was going to be a competition for the Veterns or however you spell it, because as you know, alot of seeds dropped out soon. So they got a few bots like Panic Attack, Pussycat, Behemoth etc, but they were short of bots. So roobts like Dantomkia were invited (and as we know, Dantomkia is through to the semi final) And Dantomkia is a good bot, but not over 3 years old on RW. So then they called it the All Stars competition.
Date is exspected to be 21st March.
Mr Stu
Veterans Stu.
(Always a pleasure to help...)
Thanks Babs. :proud:
Little Stu
I see what you mean.
Dantomkia = Through to Semis
Behemoth = in 6th series
Kat 3 = in 5th series
Panic Attack = winners of Series 2, in 6th series
Pussycat = in 6th series
King B = in 5th series
Bigger Brother = runners-up in Series 5, in 5th series
Firestorm = 3rd 3 times, in 6th series
A lot of veterans.
Kat 3 was in a lot more than just series 5
No, they were in series 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. So, in their 5th series.
Although, it was Kater Killer in series 3/4...so...
Oh RIGHHHT. I was confused by that too.

The robots never been that remarkable; the team are more interesting. Costumes.
Some website proclaimed the Kat 3 v. Major Tom fight of Series 5 the battle of the silly headgear. ;)
All-Stars isnt an appropriate name for this IMO, youd need bots like Storm 2, X-Terminator, and Gravity for it to be an All-Star event.
Rubbish :proud:
Mr Stu
Gravity, although being a fantastic bot can in no way be called an All Star yet.
Tom
Kat 3 has never been in the semis me thinks.
It doesnt seem like an all-star competition.
Its great all these robots competing because they are all all-stars, but theres note enough of the real all stars.
Yes, it should be the top 16 of series 7 and then 16 other great robots for ebing great or past trophies for things like sportsmanship etc
Kat 3 got the Series 6 Sportsmanship award, didnt they?
Mentorn defined the All-Stars as the seeds from the previous series back in Extreme. So yes, if you could argue that this isnt a true all-stars line up by Mentorns previous definition.
However, that doesnt mean it wont be a good show !

I do know that Panic Attack and Firestorm meet up again somewhere along the line here...I know the result but wont spoil it.
Like Ed said, it dont mean that it wont be a good show, if anything the producers loved the show. And u dont have to get to the final of RW to be an All Star. Some bots are just great to watch fight, and the teams are great fun.
Mr Stu
In most events (not just RW) All Stars means the ones who are available and are likely to be recognisable to the majority of viewers. In some events it means arent in the running any more, but people know who they were. Id say Kat 3 qualifies for recognition, and Gravity is highly recognisable!
Yep, the first All Stars featured Diotor, despite it crashing out in the first round the year before.
Didnt do it much good after Firestorm saw to it, but anyway! :proud:
But, as Stu pointed out, this event started life as a Veterans event. They changed it to an All Stars due to the inclusion of Dantomkia. Despite real life, they dont yet count as Veterans for the TV series. Sorry Mike :-)
And dont judge it until youve seen it.

Fascinating. Should have been kept to veterans though, as lacking robots like bulldog breed and thermidor, and new ones like typhoon and gravity doesnt quite make it a strictly all star competition.
I agree, but not our call to make
eh, were not in the allstars comp
Sorry bout the confusion gary, what i meant to say was that by lacking such impressive newcomers to the main event such as yourself doesnt quite add up somehow.
A pure veterans event? How about this...
Supernova (Been around since Series 2)
Panic Attack (Been around since Series 2)
Firestorm (Been around since Series 2)
Thermidor (Been around since Series 3)
Pussycat (Been around since Series 1)
Kat 3 (Been around since Series 3)
King B Powerworks (Been around since Series 2)
Bulldog Breed (Been around since Series 3, where it didnt move - always wanted to know why that happened)
it lost its fight against robopig. the first bulldog had them little blades on the front of the robot
Bulldog Breed only twitched and moved about 3 feet against Robopug, it was almost as if robopig got through by default. I think i heard something on the interview afterwards how Tony said there were drive problems which meant no power was generated, i could be wrong.
And of course, Shunt woke it up.
Anyway, looks like the line-up will be (my predictions for it next to it);
Panic Attack - Kat 3 - Firestorm 5 - Bigger Brother (Predictions - Firestorm and Bigger Bro)
Pusssycat - Dantomkia - King B Powerworks - Behemoth (Predictions - Dantomkia and Pussycat)
Of course, judging from the preview clip, they go and turn it into a House Robot Rebellion!
Panic Attack - Kat 3 - Firestorm 5 - Bigger Brother
(predictions) Kat 3 and panic attack (it about time panic attack beat firestorm)
Pusssycat - Dantomkia - King B Powerworks - Behemoth
(predictions) dantomkia and pussycat or behemoth
is that the line up next week. did u see firestrom flip shunt in that little clip lol. shunt never saw it coming
Actually, it looked like the three robots with lifting mechanisms have a go, while Kat busies itself with Cassius Chrome...
Look out for the cool wave...Ill say no more.

Its great to see the HRs getting repeatedly battered.
