Syfy Reality Show Will Feature Giant Boxing Robots

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday November 20, 2012 @12:18PM from the more-like-skynet-training-league dept.

An anonymous reader writes "It looks like the next generation of 'Battle Bots' is here: 'Syfy has greenlit and shot the first season of a new show where eight-foot-tall state-of-the-art humanoid robots will rock 'em and sock 'em in a boxing cage until one is defeated. The future-shock new series is called Robot Combat League and the project has been kept under wraps until today. The action resembles a real-life version of last year's hit movie Real Steel, with large menacing robots pounding away at each other in a satisfying shower of sparks and gushing hydraulic fluid.' Pictures are included with the story."

But why is it being hosted by a Troll doll dressed as a douche?

Apparently they get them to fight by shoving a pole up their asses.
