DESCRIPTION: (from Discovery's press release, April 2009) This new program combines creativity, military-like strategy and engineering as two teams of master builders -- dubbed Weaponizers -- turn ordinary vehicles into remote-controlled machines of destruction. With the pace and intensity of a video game, the vehicles are completed with live-ammunition machine guns and other seemingly ordinary objects that are transformed into powerful weapons. Building on the teams' expertise -- hot rod restoration, pyrotechnics, special effects, crash engineering and military weaponry -- the opponents harness their ingenuity in a competition face off where the goal is to achieve victory by creating an indestructible vehicle. |
