Robot Combat League

Remember Asimo? ...and how he'd fall over if you so much as breath on him?

Well, forget that. Entertainment Weekly reports that SyFy is preparing a new robot fighting show featuring eight foot tall humanoid robots beating up each other into piles of scrap...

Basically it's an advanced million dollar version of that old robot fighting toy your grandparents keep in their garage...except the robots are now eight foot tall ax headed killing machines.

So obviously the idea has spawned from last year's science fiction mechanical boxing blockbuster, Real Steel. The only difference is that these robots have a stabilizing bar that prevents the top-heavy machines from toppling over during the fight and helps control their movement across the ring.

It's hard to tell exactly how exciting this robot-bashing show will actually be in the end...but I'm all for eight foot tall hunks of steel tearing each other apart for our entertainment. 

The show Robot Combat League promises to be interesting...but it's hard to tell until the actual debut on February 26, 2013. Former pro wrestler Chris Jericho is to host the show on SyFy.
