The wait is finally over! BattleBots is back! Although the reruns will NEVER get old we’re thrilled to tune in to 20 brand-new episodes on the Discovery Channel (Fridays at 8pm) and the Science Channel (Wednesdays at 9pm). We recommend checking with your TV provider for the exact time BattleBots will be airing in your area. The heart of this show is exactly the same, robot fighting at its very finest. Watch competitors duke it out against one another, slashing, crushing, and destroying each other. However this season is a game-changer in many ways. Have you heard about the all-new format?
Ever written BattleBots fan-fiction mashups in your head about your favorite sinister robots facing off? Consider your wishes granted! The revised fight card format makes all of that possible! Episode one features Tombstone vs. Minotaur, Bite Force vs. Blacksmith, SubZero vs. HUGE, and so much more! Prepare for multiple main events featuring BattleBots All-Stars, undercard fights from exciting newbies, and mind-melting exhibition matches. One of the MOST interesting parts of the new format is, each robot is no longer “one and done” if you lose. Many bots will get the opportunity to battle 3-5 times during the span of the season. The top 16 bots will move on to the World Championship Playoffs, where the winner will take home the one and only, Giant Nut.
Tons of your favorite robots have undergone revamps since the last time you’ve seen them! New parts, paint, harrowing weapons, and more! You can see all of the updated 2018 BattleBots HERE.
