Iron Awe has the unfortunate notability of being the robot that was in fights against Typhoon 2 when it first spun up to full speed and against Wheely Big Cheese when it first used its flipper at full pressure. Neither of those really worked out for poor old Iron Awe.
Lets face it Hypnodisc was strong in season 3+4 as a result of other robots not considering armour a priority. Typhoon 2 was so powerful that even reasonably well armoured robots could be smashed through.
Not being able to get through tough armour was never Hypnodisc's issue. It was always let down by reliability, and some questionable driving at times that exposed Hypnodisc's own weaknesses to attacks.
@@MMR_LM Hypnodisc was internally wrecked by the end of S3 and was in no condition to fight Chaos 2. Had it been in full working condition Chaos 2 would have struggled to get a proper flip in.
Typhoon 2 is one ingenious design. High manueverability, a nearly indestructible steel cone with nothing to catch, a low ground clearance making it hard to get under, a low center of gravity, and an angled face for flipping all the way around all the time. Those menacing blades, and that *incredible* kinetic energy that will render electronics useless through massive shock loads make it nearly unbeatable except through sheer luck of it bouncing off of a competitor into the pit.
It's design was a major weakness in my opinion. Had its opponents been more savvy it wouldn't have got to the final or even out the heats. It was so lucky in a lot of its fights. In fact I think Tornado would have beat them,, Storm 2s team for all their intelligence and ability didn't do the obvious of driving it into the house bots enough.
Little did anyone know when the Series 7 Grand Final was broadcasted, was that, about 12 years later, Gary Cairns would enter Series 8 with his own robot, PP3D, although that robot has no connection whatsoever, to Typhoon 2
I Think the advantage is: Shortly before Hitting they throttle down and the centrifugal clutch disengages. Also it allows for a "Slipping", which protects the engine from dying. Typhoon 2 is one of the few "Shellspinners" which actually won fights. The clutch is the deal, when you apply it to a bar spinner a tearing chain isn't as much as a problem as it is with most the spinners. Because then you only must catch the impact force with structural integrity, not bring the Chain or the belt to a sudden stop. This robot isn't very careful to the other bots, but when i imagine Mega or Gigabyte, they propelled themself trough the whole arena, they weren't very reliable and the impact threw the Mega/Gigabyte around the whole arena. I like the robot, a "different" thing. Specially with it's very slow spin-up time. Against a "Tombstone" the robot won't win, because Tombstone is a well built and tested machine with very less failures and a significantly lower Spin up time, also more Stored energy with the different blades.
Well said, and I agree entirely. Plus there’s an awful lot of energy in the mass of that armored shell when it gets spun up to speed, allowing for devastating damage to be imparted through those teeth, even against decently armored opponents. It’s spin up time is it’s biggest weakness.
The unofficial Successor to the legendary Hypnodisc. To the point it was smashing through arena walls for fun. Derek: They keep breaking my stage! It's terrible aren't they!
Many other robots with spinners have damaged the arena walls as well. But Typhoon 2 is obviously the one spinner to cause serious damage to the arena. I think The Revolutionist has met its match.
The Typhoon series are complete brutes!!! I love watching them wreaking havoc. Real glad that they won over Storm II due to the damage, but I do believe that Storm II had the upper hand in the final match; if only measures were made to improve the stability when the outer cone isn't rotating fast enough.
Storm 2 should have won, making damage the final deciding factor isn't fair when it's a flipping robot. They were so much more aggressive and got them up and over so many more times.
Of course, the flipside (no pun intended!) of that is that flippers could end fights instantly with an out-of-the-arena flip. I do think Storm 2 were at the very least unlucky - I'm glad I wasn't judging that.
Typhoon 2, named after one of the best 4++ Generation fighters/multirole jets in the world today and certainly the destructive power as well as agility was just like our jet but purely on wheels!
Atomic had the best shot at taking out Typhoon, had their flipper not malfunctioned we could well have seen them in the final, and I think Typhoon were extremely lucky to get through.
Atomic's team got extremely unlucky, they practically knocked out themselves. Typhoon 2 did nothing except ran away. Not saying Typhoon 2 did bad but I thinks Typhoon 2 is much like Nuts 2: Their success more on luck than actual skill though I must say Typhoon 2 is better design and able do more damage where Nuts 2 more like joke bot with an ability to disable opponent.
You know I absolutely love Typhoon 2, the design, the devastating cutters. I do think that the final between Storm 2 was I don't know hit and miss for the win. Storm 2 were showing more control and aggression but Typhoon 2 I think did the damage, I wonder if that is what it came to. Great robot!! Well clever design
Looking back at this grand final I think the decision was pretty fair storm 2 perused him but he never really slammed typhoon or did anything outside of lift them up a little. Typhoon was hitting and running and I think The broken wedge At the very end made the difference
yea it seemed to me that Storm 2 managed to deactivate Typhoon 2's blades towards the end which, if that was the case, should have DEFINITELY been worth more than a small plate falling off of Storm, so idk.
Well not necessarily didn't deserve. Both of the finalists were excellent bots. They both deserved that title, it just got handed to the one that arguably was struggling the most, which was unfair by my reckoning.
late reply I know but the reason is that in the old series once you lost you where out, you had no more fights to do, it was go home and come back next year. in the new series you where often guaranteed to have more fights through the round robin or the double elimination style in series 10. put simply you can spray a robot all over the floor because they have only 2 hours to get it back together.
Whilst I disagree with the judges allowing Team Typhoon to tinker with their machine during the stoppage in the grand final. My own scoring of the match has Typhoon as the winner anyway so I think that win is deserved
I wonder if Bigger Brother would have beaten Typhoon 2 had they won their match against Iron Awe. They managed to survive both Mauler and Hypnodisc, so who knows?
Skräcken - Nice idea, but paid for by whom? There's no sponsorship cash here. Also, this was filmed in the year 1388, and CVTs weren't invented until 1507 by Dr Jacob CVT, the second Earl of Sandwich. Oh yes. It's true.
all they got to do is put in a gyro system and that thing wont ever flip over. me i prob would use four high speed blade spinning on all for side and have it also spinning aswell on the shell with blades that way even if the bot lose it spin the blades will still spin on the sides
That is crazy, they win on the "winning robot" doing damage to it self trying to finish off Typhoon? That sounds like a crazy effective strategy to win fights.
That's what made me laugh when the presenter was giving the side plates back to the Storm 2 boys with "you'll want this", I knew at the time they were robbing them blind once the commentator started shouting "major damage", it had obviously been edited in AFTER the battle. Disgusting really and its no wonder they ditched the TV and went back to battle bots after this.
@@GreeneyedApe as long as the horizontal one is low enough, height doesnt really matter. The goal is mostly to take out wheels, which have to touch the ground lol
I don't believe Typhoon 2 was up to speed before the arena was broke, so that gave Typhoon a huge advantage at the restart leading to the damage done to Storm 2 at the end of the battle which in its self, was a ridicules reason from the judges to award the victory to Typhoon 2 just on the only thing Typhoon 2 did to Storm 2 in that battle! I would have to say that Judge's decision was one of or maybe even the worst in Robot Wars History!
One thing I've always wondered is how do the drivers know which way they are facing when they're driving? It looks like it would be quite easy to accidentally drive Typhoon 2 the wrong way since there's no "front" of the robot does that makes sense?
Well given that Typhoon has four independent wheels I don't think That's as much of an issue, and the flag on the top might also be a.dorectional indicator
@@brycethomas7596 Razer is so overrated it one a lot of fights against completely shit bots that had no armor at all any bot with even decent armor on the top a Razer would have no chance biting into it. Look at when Razer went to Battlebots and was completely owned by Tazbot.
Storm 2 clearly should have won the final battle. Allowing typhoon to spin to full speed before restarting the fight seems very unfair. Surely they should start as they finished and their last bit of driving was poor causing them to loose all the weapon momentum.
O SGT BASH tem uma arma tão devastadora que sente pena de usa-la ao extremo contra os robôs danificados! Aquela pinça esmagaria facilmente robôs como TORNADO, RIPNP DISC E E ATÉ MESMO RAZER!
That final fight, Craig said the crowd isn't happy with the decision yet everyone cheers not booing, thanks to replacing the sound of booing with cheering, also damage is what swung the decision? Yeah like that fight with Androne4000 and Tauron in series 10 by any chance...? I agree that Storm 2 should have won that instead. As much as how Typhoon 2 was kind of filling in the gap for Hypno-Disc not being in this series, it really didn't deserve the title in my opinion. Dodgy final indeed...
I really think it should just be contestant vs contestant. There is absolutely no need for the house bots. I want to know the skill of each driver along with the skill of the engineering. I don’t want some over powered obnoxious bot that isn’t even in the fight.
E pensar se o Big Brother tivesse desvirado o Colossus antes do tempo acabar, o typhoo 2 talvez não teria conseguido desvirar, e então mudaria toda a história do campeonato, se ja pensou...
to be fair I get why they won, I don't get why everyone is mad. Ir does make sense damage drown would count more though I do Think if it wasn't for storms 2 pieces falling off at the end he would of won.
Typhoon were allowed to enter because of it not working to give Bigger Brother an easy heat. I suspect because of Bigger Brother crashing out, production let Typhoon repair it properly and the rest is history
Tl;Dr: Ed Hoppitt of Storm 2 is an egotistical liar with a massive victim complex, and Typhoon 2 won fair and square by the rules of the time. It's kind of sad just how much Ed Hoppitt's lies about what happened in Series still permeate this comment section, and the Roboteering community in general. No, Mentorn did not purposefully go out of their way to screw him, if they wanted to do that they could have just thrown the book at the team of the fact that they kept removing and re-attaching the side-skirts in order to prevent flippers from getting under them. This would have counted as an interchangeable device designed to inhibit other robots which was illegal by the Series 7 rules due to the controversy over the Grand Final of the previous wars. Lie number 2 is that the claim they caused internal damage to Typhoon 2 in the form of breaking a chain that drove the spinning shell, the problem is that not only was this chain redundant and did not have any influence over the performance of Typhoon 2, Storm 2 weren't even the ones to break it as it had been broken in the previous fight with X-terminator. Lie number 3 is to do with the pit being put back up during the fight with Tornado. The reason that this was done was because it had been activated by the Refbot, who isn't supposed to do that, was it a consistent ruling, probably not but no sport governing body ever is. And, finally for all of those frothing at the mouth about the damage caused in the final, may I remind you that during these series, the main deciding factor for a judges decision was damage, not aggression, which was something changed for the reboot likely due to the controversy that THIS Grand Final caused. It can also be noted that if Mentorn were trying to screw anyone in Series 7, it was Tornado, as almost all the rules the Ed claims where made targeting him where made in the wake of Tornado winning series 6 and as such would be targeting Andrew Marchant's machine not Ed's. Pretty much nobody behind the scenes has or had a good word to say about Ed, and if you want a prime example as why: During the revival, PP3D, a robot designed and operated by Typhoon 2 alumni Gary Cairns needed a replacement motor. The Sabretooth team had one, and when Ede learned he tried to buy it off of Sabretooth team captain Gabe Stroud for more than the motor was worth because he still held a grudge over a decade later, which is just childishly petty. Thankfully Gabe did not accept Ed's 'offer' and Gary was able to get PP3D up and running again. It's very likely that this incident blacklisted Ed for the rest of the revival as despite promising to come back in series 10, he never did.
Typhoon is a nice machine, just not keen on the teams actions during the middleweight competition. Nor should they have won Series 7. Storm 2 was the far more controlling and aggressive robot.
Yknow whats weird, apparently typhoon is a live pole spinner, yet it has a directional flag. I know its live pole because apparently megabyte hit it so hard that its pole was bent to hell and thus anable to spin.
En la valoración final dicen que estaban muy empatados pero que se valoraba mucho el daño recibido y que Typhoon 2 apenas había recibido daño. Por eso ganó al final.
That actually isn't true. Flippers can cause the opponent to flip out of the arena. But it does cause damage. Just not damage you can see on the body. Most damage flippers do is done internally on machines with the electronics being jarred loose from the fall damage.

Typhoon 2 owes the whole championship to Bigger Brother
He almost knocked it out in the first round too which is the craziest part
@@lampini exactly
I was privellaged to touch the Typhoon 2 and look at her inner workings at an event a few years ago. Amazing machine.

Imagine how different S7 would have been if Bigger Brother had righted Colossus before it was counted out.
Storm 2 probably would have ran away with the championship
Or if atomic managed to flip typhoon 2 over in the semi finals
That sound of typhoon sounds so satisfying sounds like a mini car dyno test!

He says that 12 years later in series 8
Can't believe Typhoon 2 nearly went out in the first round
I like to think TYPHOON 2 got it ideas from HYPNO-DISC like hundreds of other roboteers did
Typhoon 2 seems a bit like carbide in the way that it’s seemingly impossible to survive more than one hit
Typhoon 2 is like a giant upside-down Beyblade
Was bigger brother trying to help colossus so typhoon would get counted out in that opening battle? Love it

Typhoon 2 was definitely one of my favourite robots those were the good old days
I remember this show on Space Channel. I was in grade 4 going to grade 5 when it aired. I also watched it in grade 5.
Typhoon 2 were ridiculously lucky to win this series
Vamos lá, eles tiveram seus méritos, mas e claro com uma sorte absurda em certas lutas, mas isso não desmerece eles
Typhoon 2 is a real war ARM.
Terrible damage, amz
Typhoon 2 is not a bad robot. The only bad part was that he got a title he didnt deserve
im refering to the storm 2 incident
yea it seemed to me that Storm 2 managed to deactivate Typhoon 2's blades towards the end which, if that was the case, should have DEFINITELY been worth more than a small plate falling off of Storm, so idk.
Blame Mentorn, not Typhoon 2. It didn't matter who Storm would have faced in that final, they would have been fucked up :(
hi im sorry but im an air cadet and typhoon 2 did deserve its name
Well not necessarily didn't deserve. Both of the finalists were excellent bots. They both deserved that title, it just got handed to the one that arguably was struggling the most, which was unfair by my reckoning.
Intro finishes, my seizure starts...
I wonder what a battle between Typhoon 2 and another Typhoon 2 would look like
Why do the roboteers seem more aggressive in the older series than they do in the new Robot Wars?
late reply I know but the reason is that in the old series once you lost you where out, you had no more fights to do, it was go home and come back next year. in the new series you where often guaranteed to have more fights through the round robin or the double elimination style in series 10. put simply you can spray a robot all over the floor because they have only 2 hours to get it back together.
I like that the RAF brought their own cheerleaders 😁
Unfortunately for storm, finals are won, not deserved
Well at least they won the world championship.
Sometimes finals are stolen, not deserved
Whilst I disagree with the judges allowing Team Typhoon to tinker with their machine during the stoppage in the grand final. My own scoring of the match has Typhoon as the winner anyway so I think that win is deserved
Thats 1/4" polycarbonate, thats not only not bulletproof, a 22 could do the job. You need to reinforce and laminate it to make it that strong.
Can you actually say you won a battle against a bot when there are other bots there that aren’t even in the fight potentially doing more damage?
20:30 they did this all wrong. Your supposed to wash the lobster BEFORE you cook it.
1st wash, 2nd tenderize, 3rd cook, serve with side of butter.
poor iron awe. The first time it was in season 10 it had to fight without a working flipper
I wonder if Bigger Brother would have beaten Typhoon 2 had they won their match against Iron Awe. They managed to survive both Mauler and Hypnodisc, so who knows?
Without a doubt he would’ve beaten him
Typhoon 2 really should have had a CVT so they could spin that thing up faster.
Skräcken - Nice idea, but paid for by whom? There's no sponsorship cash here. Also, this was filmed in the year 1388, and CVTs weren't invented until 1507 by Dr Jacob CVT, the second Earl of Sandwich. Oh yes. It's true.
I forgot how much they’d embarrass you after you already got embarrassed
very good
At least this Iron Awes weapon worked!
If it hadn't, Typhoon never reaches the series semifinals.
Behemoth - Series 5 - 9 All Fights? (+ Extreme?)
Thanks! I'll be looking forward to see them, I'd love to see a montage of my favourite robot! :D
Behemoth weren't the same as too these series & series 9 they were running on last legs behemoth was in series 9 such a shame I liked that robot too!
Very awsome
Also I think the destruction in the Atomic fight was unnecessary, they'd already won
typhoon 2 was the dawn of a new era of robots now everyone is a spinner
But at least the rose boys were proper roboteers, the new lot that came through were funded and sponsored.
all they got to do is put in a gyro system and that thing wont ever flip over. me i prob would use four high speed blade spinning on all for side and have it also spinning aswell on the shell with blades that way even if the bot lose it spin the blades will still spin on the sides
Man imagine if Bigger Brother flipped Typhoon 2 first

I love Typhoon 2 its so cool
Tl;Dr: Ed Hoppitt of Storm 2 is an egotistical liar with a massive victim complex, and Typhoon 2 won fair and square by the rules of the time.
It's kind of sad just how much Ed Hoppitt's lies about what happened in Series still permeate this comment section, and the Roboteering community in general. No, Mentorn did not purposefully go out of their way to screw him, if they wanted to do that they could have just thrown the book at the team of the fact that they kept removing and re-attaching the side-skirts in order to prevent flippers from getting under them. This would have counted as an interchangeable device designed to inhibit other robots which was illegal by the Series 7 rules due to the controversy over the Grand Final of the previous wars. Lie number 2 is that the claim they caused internal damage to Typhoon 2 in the form of breaking a chain that drove the spinning shell, the problem is that not only was this chain redundant and did not have any influence over the performance of Typhoon 2, Storm 2 weren't even the ones to break it as it had been broken in the previous fight with X-terminator. Lie number 3 is to do with the pit being put back up during the fight with Tornado. The reason that this was done was because it had been activated by the Refbot, who isn't supposed to do that, was it a consistent ruling, probably not but no sport governing body ever is. And, finally for all of those frothing at the mouth about the damage caused in the final, may I remind you that during these series, the main deciding factor for a judges decision was damage, not aggression, which was something changed for the reboot likely due to the controversy that THIS Grand Final caused. It can also be noted that if Mentorn were trying to screw anyone in Series 7, it was Tornado, as almost all the rules the Ed claims where made targeting him where made in the wake of Tornado winning series 6 and as such would be targeting Andrew Marchant's machine not Ed's.
Pretty much nobody behind the scenes has or had a good word to say about Ed, and if you want a prime example as why: During the revival, PP3D, a robot designed and operated by Typhoon 2 alumni Gary Cairns needed a replacement motor. The Sabretooth team had one, and when Ede learned he tried to buy it off of Sabretooth team captain Gabe Stroud for more than the motor was worth because he still held a grudge over a decade later, which is just childishly petty. Thankfully Gabe did not accept Ed's 'offer' and Gary was able to get PP3D up and running again. It's very likely that this incident blacklisted Ed for the rest of the revival as despite promising to come back in series 10, he never did.
Typhoon 2 is a good robot it beat Megabyte at the 2005 RoboGames
Typhoon is a nice machine, just not keen on the teams actions during the middleweight competition. Nor should they have won Series 7. Storm 2 was the far more controlling and aggressive robot.
well at the end of the day they where the competitors, not the producers or judges, blame the game not the player
I agree Storm 2 should have won the final
what did they do in the middle weight comp?
Yknow whats weird, apparently typhoon is a live pole spinner, yet it has a directional flag. I know its live pole because apparently megabyte hit it so hard that its pole was bent to hell and thus anable to spin.
porque gano??
En la valoración final dicen que estaban muy empatados pero que se valoraba mucho el daño recibido y que Typhoon 2 apenas había recibido daño. Por eso ganó al final.
Hyno-Disc could learn from him
Clearly not a real piece of railroad track there.
Flippers don't do any damage. Why would people even use them!?
MIV 4D05 no series 8
Chaos 2, the only robot to win star wars 2 times was a flipper
That actually isn't true. Flippers can cause the opponent to flip out of the arena. But it does cause damage. Just not damage you can see on the body. Most damage flippers do is done internally on machines with the electronics being jarred loose from the fall damage.
