Finished all the animations for these guys

got dead metal brainworms and went looking through extra materials and came across the magazine from 2000 and was promptly exposed to the Insane comic backstories for the house robots. in summary

dead metal is from a future war where "cybernetically enhanced humans attacking earth" (known as berserkers) are fighting thermonuclear-powered robots and her only memory is canonically "DESTROY DESTROY DESTROY" over and over

matilda is from atlantis. straight up. atlantis used to have people, robots, and dinosaurs co-existing, and matildas were guard robots that reprogrammed themselves when the overall network crashed and would kick off a 3000 year robot war (a What) robot war

sir killalot is a warlord(?) in post-collapse atlantis

sgt bash was built for the military and was freed by a scientist to fuck over a general

shunt was previously two separate repair robots at a nuclear plant, raskolnikov and razumikhin, in 1989. the reactor started to meltdown and they got sent in but they started fusing inside the reactor. When a third bot, neva, was sent in to see what was going on the fusing bots killed it. a scientist from the Technical Advanced Research Products Agency (TARPA) was set in (theyve also contained the rest of the bots up to this point) to separate them from the core, and almost got pushed into it until they "disengaged the nuclear rod" (im interpreting this as jammed a control rod into shunt to stop the reaction), saving the reactor and freeing shunt.

im not too crazy about these since yk they were for kids magazines before i was born but they were cooking with the shunt origin. "the first robot war was in atlantis" is just absolutely crazy work. incredible even

Did you know?

@robot-wars Not sure if you've already seen those, but read this post if you can find the time to. In the first five issues of Robot Wars Magazine from back in the day, there were two-part comics based on the fictional backstories of the House Robots. Issue 1 - The Origin of Dead Metal - Part 1 - Part 2 Issue 2 - The Origin of Matilda - Part 1 - Part 2 Issue 3 - The Origin of Sir Killalot - Part 1 - Part 2 Issue 4 - The Origin of Sgt. Bash - Part 1 - Part 2 Issue 5 - The Origin of Shunt - Part 1 - Part 2

I thought these comics were pretty cool, you know what I mean? Too bad we yanks never got them when Robot Wars was first being broadcast in the U.S. But, at least someone went to the effort of scanning them and putting them online for all to see!

And if you ask me, they should do a TV miniseries based on the House Robots' fictional backstories. Even if they have no intent of bringing back Sgt. Bash, Mr. Psycho, Growler, or Cassius Chrome, I think it would be cool to see.

DISCLAIMER: I take no credit for the creation of the comics that the above links go to, or for the scans that were made of them.
