BattleBots was an American company that hosted robot competitions. BattleBots was also the name of the television show created from the competition footage hosted by comedian Bil Dwyer. BattleBots Inc. was headquartered in Vallejo, California and held most of its competitions in the San Francisco area. In a BattleBots event the competitors are remote-controlled armed and armored machines designed to fight in an arena combat elimination tournament. If both combat robots are still operational at the end of the match, the winner is determined by a point system based on damage, aggression, and strategy. The television show BattleBots aired on the American cable network Comedy Central for five seasons, covering five BattleBots tournaments. The first season aired starting in August 2000, and the fifth season aired starting in August 2002. Hosts of BattleBots were Dwyer and Sean Salisbury (with Tim Green replacing Salisbury after the second season) and correspondents included former Baywatch actresses Donna D'Errico, Carmen Electra, and Traci Bingham, former Playboy Playmate Heidi Mark, and identical twins Randy and Jason Sklar. Bill Nye was the show's "technical expert". The show's match announcer was longtime boxing ring announcer Mark Beiro. After five seasons, Comedy Central terminated their contract with BattleBots Inc. in late 2002. As of May 2011, there are no future plans for Battlebots.

Bibi Blocksberg is a German audio theatre series for children, created in 1980 by Elfie Donnelly. The main character is a girl called Bibi Blocksberg, who is a witch. As of winter 2008, there have been 92 episodes. The original title of the series was Eene meene Hexerei. This title was used for the first seven episodes, after which the series was renamed to Bibi Blocksberg. The first episodes were later released under the new title and with a new cover. The old episodes are very sought after among collectors. The length of the episodes originally varied between 35 and 40 minutes and nowadays between 40 and 45 minutes. An exception is episode #78 with a length of 52 minutes. In the series, Bibi, who is fond of playing practical jokes, experiences numerous adventures with her friends. Magic often plays a major part, and often leads to troubles, and Bibi's mother, who is also a witch, must come to set things straight. Bibi's antagonist is often the mayor of Neustadt, who is presented as lazy and incompetent. This leads to conflict with the helpful Bibi. The surname of Bibi is a reference to the old name of the Brocken, a mountain in Saxony-Anhalt (Germany) that is traditionally connected with witches (Walpurgis Night), most famously in Goethe's Faust.

Big Mutha Truckers is a 2002 racing video game developed by British studio Eutechnyx. Set in fictional Hick County, the game revolves around completing trips between cities, delivering goods, and competing in races while at the helm of an eighteen wheeler. The game is available on Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo DS, Xbox, PlayStation 2, Game Boy Advance and PC, but enjoyed only mediocre critical and commercial success due to repetitive gameplay, dated graphics, and lackluster sound. The game uses Steppenwolf's "Born to Be Wild" as its theme song. The sequel is Big Mutha Truckers 2. The game's plot revolves around one of four available characters and their quest to inherit the family business. With plans to retire from the family business, Ma' Jackson challenges her four children, Cletus, Earl, Rawkus, and Bobbie-Sue, to a "Trial by Truckin". She gives each sibling 60 days in which to make deliveries to various cities in Hick State County, with the company going to the sibling with the most money in the end.

Bionicle (stylized as BIONICLE) was a line of contraction toys created by the Lego Group marketed primarily for 5-to-16-year-olds. Originally a sub-theme of Lego's Technic series, the line was initially launched in early 2001 in Europe and Australia and the following summer in North America and over the following decade became one of the Lego Groups's biggest-selling properties. The theme's concept is based on two earlier Lego themes that featured characters based on classical elements and incorporated a similar building system. In 2009, The Lego Group closed down the production of future Bionicle sets due to a lack of new sales in the product, and in the wake of theme's cancellation "replaced" Bionicle with Hero Factory; a new contraction series that carries Bionicle's legacy and features a similar building system. The Bionicle story is set in a science fantasy universe in a time pre-dating recorded history, featuring part-organic, part-machine sapient beings and is told on a vast multimedia scale through comic books, video games, website content, feature-length films and primarily, the sets themselves, among other media types. Between 2001 and 2003, the story depicted the events of six heroic beings called Toa Mata (later Toa Nuva), who with great 'Kanohi' masks of power and the ability to control different elements, protected the villagers known as Matoran on the tropical island of Mata Nui against an evil being known as the Makuta (real name later revealed as Teridax) and his many threats. The setting shifted in 2004 and 2005 to the futuristic city island of Metru Nui in a prequel storyline explaining the origins of the Matoran. 2006 began a new story focusing on the quest for the legendary Mask of Life; an artifact said to be able to save the Great Spirit Mata Nui (the god-like entity the Matoran worship) who was originally put to sleep by Makuta. The story culminated in 2008 with the revelation that Makuta Teridax had taken over Mata Nui's body - revealed to be a giant robotic humanoid vessel that houses the homelands of the Toa, Matoran and other known 'bio-mechanical' beings - and placed Mata Nui's consciousness in the Mask of Life, ejecting it into outer-space. 2009 began what was originally intended to be a new saga in the Bionicle story; the former Great Spirit Mata Nui crash-lands on the desert world of Bara Magna after being banished from his own universe by Makuta Teridax. There, he forges new friendships with the planet's Glatorian and Agori residents while attempting to find a way back to his homeland to save the Matoran from Teridax's tyrannical rule. After the announcement of Bionicle's cancellation, the 2010 storyline was changed to Teridax arriving on Bara Magna and battling Mata Nui as well as the former completing his destiny of reforming Spherus Magna; the once-plentiful planet that used to be Bara Magna. The story ended with Mata Nui retreating back inside the Mask of Life, deciding to let the Toa, Matoran, Glatorian and Agori build a new society together without him.

Bionicle Heroes is a 3D third person shooter video game. The game was released in November 2006 by TT Games on PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, Nintendo GameCube, Microsoft Windows and by Amaze Entertainment on Game Boy Advance, and Nintendo DS, a Nintendo Wii version was later released in April 2007. The game stars Bionicle's 2006 feature characters, the Toa Inika and the Piraka. However, the game also features enemies from previous games. Players must destroy enemies, solve puzzles in order to progress further, and throughout the game, maximize their individual special powers and gain better and deadlier weapons. While the game is loosely based on the first part of the Bionicle Legends story arc; it is non-canonical and features several characters from previous arcs in the franchise. The Nintendo DS version of Bionicle Heroes is in the first-person perspective instead of third-person, and is the first LEGO game to be rated T for Teen. The Game Boy Advance version is also vastly different, having a top-down perspective instead of over the character's shoulder.
