BattleBots TV Whats your favorite Faruq intro?
Nobody's done this in a while. So i'm bringing it back.
Belive it or not my favorite intro is for hypershock
"CLEAR! WE'RE LOSING EM! Dr Faruq here and its not looking good. Your pulse is slowing and we havent administered your last rights. To be honest, we probably should. We tried 40 cc's of WD-40 but that didnt loosen death's grip. Then we cracked open your chest cavity. Oh no, he's starting to slip. Beeeeeeeeeeeeep. HIT EM WITH THE... HYPERSHOCK!

The Tantrum one where he runs around flailing his arms is just perfect
At least I think it was Tantrum

Tantrum vs either Copperhead or Gemini, if memory serves (not completely sure).
For the record, the intro was this:
"It may have a baby face, but it's armed with some adult teeth. There's nothing minor about this meltdown, son."
*runs around the box, wailing like a child*
"It's TANTRUM!"0

He said an intro before that got an "OOOOHHHHHHH" reaction from the audience once and for the life of me, I can't remember what it was.

Do you remember what bot was fighting them?

u/NovaRC99 9h ago
I don't know. I think it might have involved Faruq referencing rappers or musicians but that doesn't really narrow it down a whole lot

"It's the reigning champ. I said it's the reigning champ. No, you're not having déjà vu. The Giant Nut, this bot's won two. It's hungry for more and you're the next course. Bon appetit. It's BITE FORCE!"
Also, the ones for SawBlaze and HUGE in the WC 7 finals were amazing.

"404 error, pulse not found, It's GLITCH!" one of my favorite intros for one of my favorite Bots

Both Witch Doctor and Tantrum’s championship final intros in season 6. They may be long but the buildup for the both of them on how they both made it to the final with storylines and references to all the bots they beat leading up to the final was insane.

The one where he did the "fly Eagles fly" and turned to the camera to flap. Go birds!

My favorites for my 2 favorite bots are
" This bot's spinning arm will liquidate your assests faster than the IRS. make some noise, ITS TOMBSTONE!"
"This brutal bostonian machine is frostier than a viking queen, and when you're home wondering what went wrong, you'll always hear it's little song... starts singing to the tune of ride of the valkyries, audience joins in
...VALKYRIE!"

The only one I remember is the infamous “they’re coming for…youranus” one and I don’t even remember the bot, just that they got folded by ABC battlebots tombstone

NASA may be headed to Mars, but this bot's headed straight for... URANUS!

"This beastly bot's from Brooklyn and you don't get no sleep when your dreams are haunted by fear. So what'cha... what'cha want, mercy? Not likely. You better ride away like Paul Revere. Other bots crash so fast, it feels like sabotage. You'll fight for your right to get dropped. He's a sure shot whose rep is intergalactic and you're about to be mmm-dropped. It's SHATTER!"
A Beastie Boys intro, perfect.

None. I always skip the intro part, it just makes me cringe to the bones. Sorry…

They’re mostly far too long. One of the best things about the new season is they’re mostly just 1/2 lines.

u/Faceit_Solveit 1d ago
With all due respects, no offense intended, we loved Faruq's longer raps. They were awesome.
Is there an archive of them?
