Battle Royale: When Movie Robots Fight TV Robots

6 mental metal scraps…

Optimus Prime (Transformers)

So righteous we’re pretty sure he stomped around Cybertron before the war ordering teenage Transformers to pick up their used oil cans and throw them into Trashimus Bin, Prime will do almost anything to uphold justice.

He’s only ever lost one fight, and that one killed him, so you can hardly accuse him of backing down from a ruck.

Hypnodisc (Robot Wars)

Watch the video above. Looks rubbish, right? But startlingly, when Hypnodisc met Optimus Prime, there was only one winner. And it wasn’t the metal bloke who relaxes by being a truck.

Hypnodisc was trundling along the M5 on his way to a Robot Wars roadshow, when Prime started tailgating him, beeping.

This annoyed Hypnodisc, so he turned around awkwardly, and started smashing his front disc against Optimus’ left elbow (his bumper).

Prime transformed, and demanded that Hypnodisc do the same.

When Hypno didn’t respond, Prime asked: “Why are you ignoring me?

When Hypno still didn’t respond, Prime fell into an instant depression and shoved his own sword straight into his Matrix Of Leadership, dying immediately.

Hypnodisc nudged Prime’s corpse for a full ten minutes after his death, mainly because his remote control had stopped working.

      I was about to suggest Johnny 5 fighting EVE, but then i remembered that he turned pacifist and had his laser removed. Shame though,as i reckon it would have been a good fight. Okay, Johnny 5 can't move as fast as EVE, nor can he fly, but he sure could take a beating.

      How about Gigantor vs. the Iron Giant? They might match up pretty well, actually . . .

      T-1000 vs. T-X. Any Transformer vs. a Harvester. K.I.T.T. vs. a Moto-terminator.

      You've done TV vs TV on the last one, as you've quite clearly used Ravage from the 80s TV series not TF2:ROTF.... : D

      Battle Droids (Star Wars Prequel Trilogy) Vs. Daleks (Doctor Who) The Fight:The Battle Droids are deployed, roaring to life grabbing thier blasters, standing at attention, ready for battle. "Be prepared for anything!" "Roger,Roger!" Truth be told they weren't, as all of a sudden thier surrounded by Daleks. Then we hear this... "Exterminate, Exterminate, Exterminate!" The Daleks then open fire on The Battle Droids wiping them with one collective blast. The Battle Droids didn't stand a chance.
