Robot Combat League is starting in February on Syfy. Twelve fighting machines, one champion. Presumably, no Hugh Jackman father-son bonding to distract us from the issue at hand.
I mean, really, don’t you hate when people make a movie with a great concept, like zombies or robot fighting, and then say stuff like, “It’s not really about the zombies/robot-fighting, it’s about the characters!” I hope there are no characters on this show at all. Just robots fighting.
