Barbaric Response was a competitor robot in Series 6 and 7, comprising of the Barber family from Horsham, with the family surname being the origins of the robot's name. It was a small wedge shaped robot with a 10-bar body flipper and punch ram. It could reach 20mph, often the quickest in its heat, but had an exposed ariel and often suffered disadvantages from its exposed ariel and small size. The robot never enjoyed much success in the main series, going out in the first and second rounds, but placed second in the third Tag Team Terror competition in Extreme 2.
Barbaric Response is still around today and has done very well for an unchanged robot taking out robots like the improved versions of Kronic and Iron Awe, and the team also fight with a featherweight named Barbaric Brute.

- "We're gonna make a chicken fly."
- — Bruce Barber on his machine's flipper
Barbaric Response attacked Spirit of Scorpion, but was pushed into the side wall. Escaping, it pushed Spirit of Scorpion into Dead Metal's CPZ. Not long after, Barbaric Response and Spirit of Scorpion were pinned together, with only Barbaric Response making some sluggish movements. X-Terminator then pitted Barbaric Response, but it was still through to the next round. It fought, much to Zac Barber's dread, Firestorm 4. Barbaric Response activated the pit and flipped up Firestorm, but not onto its back. Firestorm then flipped Barbaric Response, who self-righted. After flipping Refbot, Firestorm 4 flipped Barbaric Response onto the side wall, where it could not self-right. However, with no Refbot to end the fight officially, cease was called without any damage done to Barbaric Response.

[edit] Series 7
In the eliminator against Kan Opener, Big Nipper and The Grim Reaper, Barbaric Response slid underneath Big Nipper and tossed it a short distance across the arena. Kan Opener then grabbed hold of Barbaric Response, while The Grim Reaper tried to flip the it. Barbaric Response, still being gripped by Kan Opener, was pushed around the arena. Big Nipper attacked Barbaric Response, which was still being held by Kan Opener, despite the attempts by Growler to separate the machines. Kan Opener tried to push Barbaric Response into the pit in the last few seconds, but Barbaric Response resisted and cease was called. The judges made their decision and eliminated Barbaric Response, along with Kan Opener.
