BattleBots

Comedy Central Sports presents Saddlebox.

Tonight, Gladiator, the defending super heavyweight champion,

moving on or going home.

Ben, just when you thought it was safe to go in the box,

it's Sharkbite looking to chew on Killer B

and Snowflake's in the forecast for Ziggo.

This Comedy Central Sports presentation of Battlebox

is brought to you by Taco Bell.

We'd like to remind you to think outside the box.

The meanest bots from around the globe

have gathered here in San Francisco,

the robot field of dreams.

Because if you build them, we'll break them.

Hi, everybody.

I'm Tim Green here in San Francisco with Bill Dwyer.

Thanks a lot, Tim.

Killer Bs, man-eating sharks,

super heavyweight Russians, it's like my bachelor party

all over again.

I'm glad I wasn't on that cleanup crew.

That's right, Bill.

Fear, excitement, destruction,

just par for the course in the Battlebox.

Let's get the view from Carmen Electra down on the floor.

Hey, guys, you ready for another dose of mind-blowing head

banging heavy metal hits?

I'm definitely down for the kind of noise

these two bots are going to be making

once they start dancing on each other's face

in the first match.

But that's just one lady's opinion.

How's it looking, guys?

Looking good, Carmen.

We've got three fights ahead, so let's get to it.

In season three, Gage Koshua's Gladiator

won the super heavyweight nut as a rookie.

Now he's back in search of giant nut number two,

but he's got to get past Trimangle.

Cory Klein, Trimangle, Miami, Florida.

I'm able to flip, bulldoze,

and then do the spinner weapon trick.

Gage Koshua, Gladiator, Oakland, California.

I'm afraid of it.

It's a very scary-looking robot.

They're both pretty scary.

All right, it's time to fight.

Here's Mark Spiro with the intro.

Introducing in the red square to my right,

he'll roll you like a hooker,

then rat you out with an anonymous phone call

to your wife.

Here is Trimangle.

And in the blue square,

sprung from the same brain

that created the great Vlad the Impaler.

Here is his younger, nastier brother,

Gladiator.

Hey, any last minute strategy?

Just gonna have to cut him up.

Gonna have to cut him up.

Gage, feeling any pressure?

Yeah, yeah, there's a lot of pressure on him.

The box is locked, the lights are on.

Robot fighting side.

Trimangle spinning that deadly blade

and advancing on Gladiator.

That blade can also be adjusted

so it can strike at any height.

Man, that thing looks wicked.

Gladiator carefully positioning himself.

Trimangle in a shower of sparks

underneath the kill sign.

Gladiator.

Oh, Gladiator has struck across the face.

Lost his weapon.

Gone, gone.

Now what?

Now what are you doing?

That blade of Trimangle has neutered Gladiator.

Oh, that Trimangle.

Now it's time just to start scoring some points.

A sweat on the brow of Gage Coussois.

He's got the right to feel some pressure now, Gage.

Once that Trimangle blade stops,

it acts as a wedge.

Time to do some pushing around then.

Gladiator pounding away at Trimangle

despite the fact that he has lost his primary weapon.

We got a primary weapon lost on both sides, I think here.

We don't see the Trimangle boy going at all.

Now it's a pushing, shoving match

and that would certainly favor the former champion.

Because he has got speed and power to burn.

Glad he could bring that power to bear.

Trimangle's got, he's got turning problems right now.

Obviously he's able to drive, cannot turn.

You can back up and go forward.

Trimangle taking a shot from the kill saw.

Pairing up his tires.

Weapons will be a factor.

Hits will be a factor.

You can see his right front tire.

It's off the hub right now.

Oh, he's having some problems.

He got in that one huge hit

and now he's got to hold on.

Each spot having disabled the other one's weapons system

are reduced to a pushing, shoving match.

Winston Gladiator has come back from adversity.

Remember last year's finals.

So he knows how to win these fights.

And that is smooth and hits.

Trimangle with one wheel disabled.

His weapons smoking.

Gladiator moving in, pounding as best he can

without his spike.

Even though he's lost his spike,

I think we know his spike just is.

But now he's found his Trimangle.

Can Trimangle move him to the pulverizer?

No, no time left.

They fight into this Taco Bell replay.

That's probably the key moment right there

when he went over those kill saws,

screwed up his drivetrain.

There we see the spear of Gladiator

tumbling across the box.

And there's all Gladiator can do.

Gear up and take a run at him.

Here are the battle stats.

Even without a spear,

Gladiator racked up 11 slams.

Gage Cauchois, relentless, tenacious.

May I say vivacious.

A fearless performance from Gladiator

gives him the win 37 to 8.

Let's get the post-op from Carmen and Arge.

How did you manage to win even without your weapon?

I was able to just keep ramming into him

and then his own weapon broke.

So I just kept ramming him

and I guess I got points for aggression.

Excellent.

Knocked his weapon off right in the beginning.

You must have been happy with that.

That was my first and only goal

was to simply defang the Gladiator.

Thanks a lot, guys. Congratulations.

Coming up next is Shark Fight versus Killer B.

Can the spinning fin beat the stinging wedge?

And some psychic predictions when we return.

You are watching the Comedy Central Sports presentation

of BattleBots.

It's Carmen Electra, Tim Green,

Art Barker, Brad Walling,

and me, Bill Dwight.

For more information on BattleBots

and how you can enter a fighting robot

into BattleBots competition,

As you know, BattleBots winners and losers

are as hard to predict as when the Red Sox

will win their next World Series.

Well, that's never.

But to shed a little light on this subject,

we got help from an expert.

It's a new season of BattleBots,

and in our quest to get some predictions

on how some of the bots will fare,

we've come here to friendly El Monte, California,

the humble house of enchantment

of William the Wise.

Biohazard.

Got a card right here.

The Queen of Cups.

I believe there will be great success

with Biohazard.

Son of Wai'achi.

The World card.

The World card symbolizes the gift,

everything, there's no doubt.

Son of Wai'achi will win all contenders.

Complete control.

The Four of One symbolizes

great enduring rejoicing.

Complete control is completely in control.

The Four of Digo.

The Four of Cups.

Missing opportunities.

William has spoken, so place your bets.

Ah, that's not what Miss Cleo told me.

Oh, no.

Well, I hope she warned you about our next fight

with Sharkbite and Killer B.

Mark Kalofsky, Killer B, San Jose, California.

Just to launch across the arena

and push them around

and hopefully use the hazards to my advantage.

Cody Rose, Sharkbite, I own Washington.

If he hits us, stops us, and keeps hitting us,

we're pretty much dead.
