User blog comment:CrashBash/Random Musings 3 - Extreme 1, before or after Series 5?/@comment-24393094-20170813200406

This is a occurence on Robot Wars that I had hoped someone would write about in extensive detail. Henceforth, thanks for this interesting read. I have to be honest, I think recording Extreme 1 and Series 5 together was a bad idea, especially when it came to the Mayhems and Annihilators. Imagine if the intended robots could compete; sure, we have no Arnold, Arnold Terminegger, but still.

If there is anything I would request an elaboration on, are the Wild Card Warriors, as only the Behemoth-The Spider battle was explained. The battle I am most interested in is the untelevised Hypno-Disc-TX-108 and King B Powerworks-Anthrax battles. It appeared to be similar to the Nasty Warrior match, so maybe both were filmed at the same time. After all, Hypno-Disc was suffering many technical problems in Extreme 1, but were rectified during Series 5 (with only the Annihilator as an exception).

On a side note, was the reason Pussycat did not compete against Draven was down to its battle with Fluffy? After all, it does kind of explain the "shattering blade" incident.
