Here's my experience at the 2017 Gloucester event, including my video of all the battles (from morning session only) and a gallery of the images I took (or you can find them on Facebook).

Trivia

 * S.M.I.D.S.Y. was originally going to fight ACE and Rattler, however after S.M.I.D.S.Y. drove into the arena, it started to smoke and was replaced by Donald Thump.
 * Two Headed ink Flamingo debuted and won its first battle.
 * Apex and Foxic were backstage, Apex was all wrapped up and Foxic was in the corner with Team Concussion and Team Thor (who were working together) looking after them.
 * After being invited backstage by Team TR2 (and having a lengthy chat with them) I was given a autographed bit of card which was usually used for the Charity sales.
 * Matilda is still there, just not in battle.
 * TR3, Beast (Harpy but called Beast still) and Thor fought twice in the morning session and in both times TR3 was immobile and picked up by Major Damage.
 * Two Spinners appeared in the show, the first was this flat robot with a disc that fought Gabriel and a rambot, and the second is the new and improved Kadeena Ma-I mean Donald Thump...
