ABC is reviving Comedy Central’s reality series BattleBots for us this summer. The show ended its run 12 years ago, and this version will be reimagined. A six episode order is in the bag, according to Deadline. This time around, the weight classes have been eliminated, so we might be seeing something like the opening scenes of Big Hero 6. (FYI: Genesis Rodriguez, the voice of Honey Lemon in the film used to do this in a club as a kid!)
The show will feature homemade robots battling for supremacy in a single elimination tournament format. We’re reportedly also going to see deeper looks at the design and build of the robots, and the story behind their creators, who are competing for cash.
Hey Grant Imahara, are you working on your bot yet?
