I will forgive everything about the Hydra fight if...

BattleBots TV

HexBug includes the cow catcher as an attachment on the toy they make for them.

All will be forgiven if Rusty beats Hydra first round of the top 32

Sorry, *When Rusty Beats Hydra

I don't think it's very likely that Hydra will get seeded as low as 32nd though. :/

Hexbug Battlebots Rivals 6.0: Hydra vs Huge

if they add the cow catcher they should probably find a way to make huge into a hexbug for a rivals set, I would certainly buy that. I’d also like to see a hydra/hypershock set.

I just want my 2016 Hypershock

Yea, why did they get rid of that, I personally don’t care if it was outdated anyway

I think they said no one will recognize it.

Honestly Hexbug have been pretty hollow on their promise to make Whiplash into a toy. I was so excited for it, the Hypershock toy as well. I really want to see Hydra though

They never promised that they would make Whiplash, they only said they'd look into it. Apparently the sponsors wouldn't agree to it, so no Hexbug Whiplash.

Perhaps so, but it is still scummy. They should have confirmed if all the robots sponsors were ok with it and they also didn't make it because it was too complicated. They didn't promise, but then what was the point of the tournament in the first place? To disappoint people?

Here's the link to the first post for the tournament https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs6qE4Cjlta/?igshid=1704o9ylju92a And here's the final post https://www.instagram.com/p/BtmOwCCgevd/?igshid=1p6mou67f9i95 I have a feeling they also didn’t make Whiplash because they can't make Whiplash with the current setup: The controllers have a maximum of two buttons for the weapons. Such a setup could work for Sawblaze, if the arm automatically retracts like Blacksmith, but not for a lifter/spinner like Whiplash, which would need three buttons

Truth.

I would buy a Hydra in a heartbeat if they add Huge in a Rivals set.

Maybe they could make a hydra and make it be able to come off and get put back on?

I just think it would be so hilarious that I couldn't possibly hold bad feelings anymore. Just knowing it will follow them around forever. Udder gun brand cow catcher.

Oh ha that would be a good part of that too

if hydra won every match this season like he did against HUGE, would they even be allowed in the tournament by the selection committee ? I think not. Think about that.

Congrats on the loophole win.

I don’t think hydra would ever want to do that. Their other matches have been good. I was hoping this thread would be more lighthearted, not more of the same.

I mean they did have a good win against witch doctor so I don’t think that’ll be an issue but if you cheese every fight I don’t think you would get into the top 32
