This is probably the most outrageous episode since the last episode to feature Concussion.

Some dishonorable mentions:
 * Wayyyyyy too long spent on the Robot Wars restaurant and the interview with Fuzzy. That segment just felt like it wasn't going to end. I had to remind myself that I was actually watching a Robot Wars episode at one point!
 * Tough as Nails presses the pit release TWICE and they don't drop the pit. If you're going to bring back one of the all time famous pitters, surely you can sit on your obsession with Fog of War for just one fight.
 * TAN v Thor - Toast said it best, TAN would've bottled Concussion and had an absolutely fascinating tussle with Big Nipper. Instead, we saw it battle the one robot we know it can't beat. I thought for sure that TAN was going to be the best hope for Team ROW to pick up some points, but nope.

3. Cheap Shot To be fair to Team Concussion, they probably watched the old series and probably thought this wasn't a big deal. But boy oh boy, this is the first time I've ever been truly convinced, Jason and Tim's grins aside, that this was not staged. You could see Angela's outrage was completely genuine, and even when Dara tried to defuse the situation the Americans weren't laughing. It's absolutely staggering that this disappointing action was the only set of points that the ROW team picked up.

2. The show boggles out brains with the canon Remember literally last episode when John Reid mentioned "Series 5"? Remember in THIS episode when they showed old clips of Sergeant Bash? Where does the show get off calling Series 8 Series 1? Do they not thing that's going to confuse people? Not to mention Michael Oates dropping "two time UK champion Big Nipper". Not every Robot Wars fan knows what the FRA is, unless you are active on the Wiki, Facebook or live in the UK. Casual fans are going to get really confused by that.

1. Quality? I said it last week, Michael Oates and Dave Young really crammed their lineups full of A and B-tier machines, while the ROW showed up with whoever they could cram in. Tough as Nails really should've been the captain, plain and simple. Terror Turtle should never have been there. It died in possibly even less time than Henry 2, and somehow lost to a robot that was literally going up in flames. The gentle taps with which it lost were truly heartbreaking. Cathadh got the Kadeena Machina treatment from last week, and the fact that its weapon didn't spin in the final was somehow even worse. The only shining light was Weber, but even they and TAN couldn't climb above the muck that was their three teammates.
