Heat A

3. Introducing Storm Force as Storm.

2. I think I saw/heard three references through the Heat about Chaos 2 and being unbeatable. Yes, it hasn't lost in the main series, but by this point viewers had seen it lose to Razer, crash out in round 1 of an Annihilator and lose four fights in Extreme.

1. Head-to-head format for all rounds. The reason I don't find Series 5 as exciting as many others do is that a lot of battles just felt like filler, while the big boys carried out the most interesting slice of the action. With more first round fights, you're going to have a larger volume of full fights early on.

Heat B

3. Juggernot 2. A serious competitor that failed to do anything of note will always be far more disappointing than one that comes in for a laugh.

2. Atomic and Bulldog Breed getting trashed. That would have been an amazing Annihilator with those two in the mix instead of Fighting Torque and Spirit of Knightmare, although the latter did at least do alright in the competition.

1. Drawing the two seeds together in round two. I'm gutted we didn't see a fight between Atomic 2 and Bulldog Breed, two of the most well known nearly-bots at the time, for a chance to face Hypno-Disc, who could have been drawn against Lambsy.
