Here's a run down of the competitors; EPISODE ONE Behemoth Bonk Carbide Kill-E-Crank-E Nuts Razer Terrorhurtz The General EPISODE TWO Chimera Disconstructor Draven Foxic M.R Speed Squared Shockwave Thor Tough as Nails EPISODE THREE Big Nipper Dantomkia Glitterbomb King B Remix Orte Overdozer Supernova TR2 EPISODE FOUR Apollo Eruption Kan-Opener PP3D Sabretooth Storm 2 Sweeney Todd Terror Turtle EPISODE FIVE Beast Chompalot Crazy Coupe 88 Gabriel Infernal Contraption Ironside 3 Pulsar Thermidor 2 Episode 6 will be the grand final. Lots of familiar names! Haha i remember so many of those names, Thermidor 2, Storm 2, Terrorhurtz e.t.c Especially the one in bold Razer that robot was a beast. It could have easily been a house robot if it wanted it was that well designed basically a giant hydraulic pincer with wheels. I think it won loads of the shows if i remember but what pissed me off is it could have torn some of the house robots a new one as well but they never did maybe they were warned not to? if they dish it out they should be able to take punishment in return. There is even a robot called Draven? does it throw axes? Edited July 8, 2016 by AshVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I believe projectiles were banned in the previous series, so presume it's the same this time around - same with nets, tazers and flame throwers. So perhaps it has the name for a different reason As for Razer, yeah it always was amazing, but I recall especially in the earlier series when it appeared it suffered from technical problems which held it back a bit. Making a properly dangerous robot that can take and give punishment is an engineering feat in itself, but perhaps the bigger challenge it making it work all the time.

Xela Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) Currently on my rota: Billions S1 Wayward Pines S2 Legends S2 I struggle watching more than a few things at once! I just don't get the time and the football in recent weeks has meant I am falling behind on a few of the shows. Also want to get back into Ray Donovan and would like to start Banshee and Mr Robot. Also looking forward to S2 of Ballers Edited July 8, 2016 by Xela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very deliberately paced and definitely draws inspiration from a very well known movie (I won't say which as it would be a bit of a spoiler), but unlike much else on TV. Once I got into it, I got through the episodes like no one's business. Core concept involves the underworld of hackers vs. a big, evil corporate giant which is obviously not a new theme, but the approach and atmosphere is brilliant IMO. Definitely worth a shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Half way thought Orange is the back series 4 and Marco oolo OitNB is th still the best show you'll ever watch with your missus, everything about it says it's a woman's drama, it's brillaimt maric polo is more of an aquided taste at times the acting and the script is shocking,. I like it though, they've built a great believable world and the bloke who play kublai blows it out the park id say both suffer from the same thing, the main character is the shittest one in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still incredibly annoying with ridiculous storylines but otyer characters seem to get more airtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wazzap24 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Having finished Banshee, I'm making a case for it to be up there with the GOATS. 4 tight seasons, all killer no filler - brilliant conclusion. Great characters Great acting Brilliant concept and overall story The best violence and fight scenes I've ever seen on TV Deserves much wider acclaim IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Can anyone recommend any decent series on amazon prime? I like pretty much all of Netflix's original programming e.g. house of cards, oitnb, narcos etc. Wasn't overly impressed with the man in the high castle. Promised a lot, delivered little.

Bosch is pretty decent. I loved the books and season 1 was good. Haven't started season 2 yet.
