Robot Wars: The Fifth Wars/Heat F

The Fifth Wars - Heat F was the sixth of twelve heats to determine the semi-finalists of Robot Wars: The Fifth Wars. The episode featuring Heat F was broadcast in early 2002 on BBC Choice and repeated on August 16, 2002 on BBC Two.


 * This heat featured only two newcomers. One of them, Corkscrew caused an upset by defeating X-Terminator through a judges decision to become only one of three newcomers in the entire series to reach a heat final.
 * It meant that for the only time in five wars, X-Terminator failed to reach at least the heat final.
 * The other newcomer, Derek went on to win the Best Engineered Award of this series, despite being knocked out in the first round by Dominator 2, which was also nominated for the award.

Winner: Dominator 2

King B Powerworks vs Kronic 2
Winner: King B Powerworks

13 Black vs Corkscrew
Winner: Corkscrew

X-Terminator (14) vs Immortalis
X-Terminator didn't feature much here as Immortalis was very sluggish and looked to have broken down as soon as the bout had started. Immortalis was then pushed into Shunt's CPZ where the house robot axed it, smashing off the firefly tail. Needless to say X-Terminator was the winner.

Winner: X-Terminator

Winner: Dominator 2

X-Terminator (14) vs Corkscrew
Winner: Corkscrew

Dominator 2 (11) vs Corkscrew
