Ill add the battles I remember most from childhood, and were most familiar to me, and I'm guessing to casual viewers too, as I missed a lot of the series before 5.

Chaos 2: vs Wild Thing S5 (One of my favourite battles ever, I remember it so vividly from childhood I used to re enact it in the minibot arena.) Hypno Disc: vs Wheely Big Cheese and Ming 3 E1 (I remember seeing this one on TV a lot, and really loving the domination of Hypno Disc. I wasn't sure going in what would happen, but yeah Hypno Disc completely destroyed the other two.) Razer: vs Tornado S6 (Whilst I actually managed to completely forget this fight from childhood, I know my dad feels very strongly about it, and as he is a casual watcher it's one of few fights that actually have stayed in his head all these years, so it has to be worth something, right?) Firestorm: vs Razer S5 (For a long time, I didn't "get" this fight. Like I knew everyone thought it was close and everyone loved it for the action, but to me, who'/ favourite robot, at the time was Firestorm, it made my heart sink seeing it get crushed up like that. I knew Razer would win it, it just did too much damage. I understand more now why it's considered a great fight, but even back then it really stuck in my mind. Shame it's most famous fight to me is a loss, but it remains vivid in my mind, despite me catching its series 6 heat numerous times on TV.) Pussycat: vs Chaos 2 S4 (Whilst the two Razer fights definitely stick in my mind, this is one I saw as a kid that I probably regarded my favourite, and looking back I see how close it really was. Great fight, still stands as one of my favourites, and still kind of surprises me how excellent Pussycat was, with such a simple, small weapon. Pussycat gave a name to the cutting disc.) Panic Attack: vs Firestorm E1 (I think I caught a lot of the later series, and it was long after robot wars ended I actually found out Panic Attack won series 2. Shame my most famous Panic Attack fight was a loss, and a short one at that, but I clearly remember Firestorm tipping it over, and Panic Attack really struggling to right itself up on the side wall.) Tornado: vs Storm II S7 (In order to avoid a repeat, I stuck a fight I actually remembered on there. I had the Series 7 grand final recorded on VHS for a long time, and what an episode to record. I remember it specifically because of the weird olbas oil advert with the giant blocked up noses walking around. But back to the battle, even 3-4 year old me could see the pit rising up on Tornado, and it confused me how they could just change the rules like that. But it was still a great pushing match, I was glad Storm II went through, even if it beat Firestorm on its way to the final.) Stinger: vs Chaos 2 S4 (I was considering some of Stinger'/ Extreme 1 battles as I definitely remember them, like what looked like a tissue coming out of the tyres against Pussycat, or being shunted around by Tornado, or even against Ajjay and nearly being thrown out the ring, but I stand by this one, because it was an excellent fight, the first time Chaos 2 had seemed in danger in robot wars, and I personally think Stinger won. I didn't have as much of an opinion on it when I was younger, but now, I think Stinger should've made it, but that's just me.) X-Terminator: vs Behemoth S4 (Last one for now, and another episode I had on VHS, except this time from a repeat on Bravo; and another advert that stuck out to me, being a tempur mattress ad showing off their 'new' memory foam technology. I definitely remember thinking Behemoth as the favourites in the fight, but it was indeed X-Terminator who got the win, and I was quite happy and proud they pulled it off. Probably not their most famous fight of all but it really stuck out to me, as did its fight with Firestorm IV where it rolled over a couple of times before resting by the sidewall.)
