Robot Wars: The Second Wars/The Grudge Matches

After the main series, a special episode was shown featuring a number of grudge matches. This gave robots the chance to settle old scores and also allowed robots that did not feature in the main series a chance to battle in the arena.

Judgement Day

 * Cassius vs Mortis.

The grudge dated back to a judges' decision in The First Wars when Recyclopse (the Cassius team's first robot) controversially defeated Mortis for a place in the Grand Final.

In the grudge match, Cassius started by driving straight into Dead Metal and was then unable to get underneath Mortis and Mortis did damage with its axe. Cassius then drove into Sgt. Bash but escaped and nearly drove into the pit, but was rescued by Shunt. The track on the right hand side of Mortis had stopped working close to the pit and they were unable to move away, Cassius drove at it, but completely missed and flew into the pit of oblivion.

Winner: Mortis

Reserve Rumble

 * Lateral Thought vs Malice vs Bumblebot vs Forklift vs Jim Struts

This match was for the reserve heavyweight robots that did not feature in the main series.

Lateral Thought and Malice were pitted early on by the house robots and Forklift was flipped and burned on the flame pit. Bumblebot attempted to attack Jim Struts with its hammer and Jim Struts attempted to kick Bumblebot away. Eventually, Bumblebot was attacked by the house robots and the enormous walker robot Jim Struts was declared the winner.

Winner: Jim Struts

Inferno Insurrection

 * Sergeant Bash vs Nemesis & Ramrombit

This match featured Sgt. Bash and two flammable robots which were sprayed with paraffin before the event. The robots were Nemesis and Ramrombit, a sacrificial robot designed for this match and driven by George Francis.

Sgt. Bash immediately set both robots on fire and they were left to burn for the entertainment of the audience.

Super Showdown

 * Siren vs Kick Robut vs Berserk vs Demon Duck

This match was the final of the super-heavyweight category of the championship.

Siren was pushed into the pit by Matilda, Berserk was placed on the flame pit by Sir Killalot and Demon Duck was immobilised. Kick Robut was the only active robot at the end of the match.

Winner: Kick Robut

Internet Insurrection

 * Griffon vs Killerhurtz vs Bodyhammer vs Corporal Punishment

This grudge match was to decide which team had the best website.

Griffon started by flipping Sgt. Bash onto its side while Shunt lifted Killerhurtz and turned it onto its back. Sgt. Bash recovered and pinned down Corporal Punishment while Bodyhammer wedged itself under Dead Metal and got stuck. The judges awarded the match to Griffon.

Winner: Griffon

Judgement Day 2

 * Mortis vs Napalm

This grudge match was between Mortis and Napalm. This grudge dated back to the Trial in the series semi-final when Mortis sustained damage to one if its tracks but were given a second chance by the production team and gained enough points to eliminate Napalm from the championship.

In the grudge match, Mortis went on the attack and caused damage to Napalm by chopping of one of its 'eyes'. Napalm attempted to fight back but it drove too close to the pit and the weight of its own weapon coming down overbalanced it into the pit.

Winner: Mortis
