Robot Combat League

I admit it, I was hooked. It was giant sized Rockem Sockem robots and it's the type of fighting show that belongs on Syfy.

I would fast forward through the "drama" parts of the show, and just watch the fights.

I kinda wish the bots didn't have the "T" bar supporting them, and that they were "true" robots, instead of machines controlled by humans.

It would be really neat to have a fully functional robots that run from a program. The only need for a human operator would be to hit the "kill" switch.

But still, it was fun watching two machines pound on each other.

I hope it comes back.

Yes, FF through the drama would make it much more enjoyable for me as well.

I know that I dearly miss BattleBots though, especially the heavy-duty sledge-o-matics they added in the second season.

Aaaah, what fun!

I tried to watch it, but just could never get into it.

The drama for the sake of drama, and the absurdity that was the bots battles, like the added sparks and bangs to make it look more entertaining than it actually was, just doesn't do anything for me.

YMMV of course, but I passed on it.
