Series 5 Canon Audit with sixteen heats
OK, so, you may remember earlier this year, after just over three years in development, I finally got around to publishing my Canon Audit of Series 5. And... ultimately it was a bit anti-climactic. I mean, sure, the fact I was trying to keep all the important stuff the same meant that was probably always going to happen, but still.
Shortly afterwards, I put out a second post about What if Extreme 1 han't happened and any consequences there would've been on S5 as a result. Well, after I wrote that, I actually started thinking about it in greater detail, and my original idea was to do another version of S5 with a new/expanded format, but with all the important stuff (or, at least, as much of it as possible) kept intact. In the end, what I end…
Draft for Eradicator
Eradicator was a heavyweight robot which attempted to qualify for an unspecified series of Robot Wars. It lost both qualifying battles at Robot Mayhem and failed to make the televised show as a result.

Described by its builder as a "large, white wedge" armed with an axe powered by CO2 fire extinguishers, Eradicator was driven by 24V brushed motors salvaged from a Flymo hover lawnmower. The axe was similar in appearance to that of House Robot Shunt.
Eradicator fought in two battles at an unspecified Robot Mayhem event. One of these came against a robot armoured in polycarbonate material and equipped with a spinning blade, which is believed by Neve to potentially be Charybdis. The secon…
Extreme Robots 2025
Usually I attend these events I see the last Sunday show but this year was different as I attended the first Saturday show and got the pleasant joy of witnessing Destruct-A-Bubble fight in person! My personal favourite jokebot and seeing up close in person was fantastic, weirdly it seemed no one in the pits tour wanted to see the bubble, she was left all alone :( Anyways, it was all pretty entertaining especially seeing Griffalo being torn apart by Monsoon and the crew having to break into the arena and take Griffalo outside, even when leaving the leisure centre it was outside being worked on. At one point I though Sir Chromalot suddenly returned instead it was a full body spinner called Lugnut which seems to be a favourite though its figh…
Meeting Craig Charles and visiting The Bottling Plant
I've not contributed to the Wiki for the last few days, and that was because I was on holiday in the west country. I went over to Bristol, where I went to Bristol Comic Con, and had my photo with Craig Charles! I actually originally had a ticket for him at Sheffield Film and Comic Con way back in 2014 but he had to cancel, so it was great to finally meet him!
Then, I went off to Devon, where I went to The Milky Way Adventure Park, and also went to The Bottling Plant in Plymouth to see Ming 3! As I took a photo of it, a member of staff (Andrew's son George), let Andrew know someone was taking a photo, and Andrew came out to greet me - he's used to people coming to see Ming and talk about Robot Wars, and I asked him if he wouldn't mind me doi…
Minibot Wars: A terrible, mostly lost stop motion robot combat YouTube series by Richard Huckle
So I haven't been active much on the Robot Wars Wiki recently. Work commitments (especially lucrative overtime) and fitness have meant less spare time than in previous years. When I do have spare time, I've been focusing on lost media, particularly for the NSFL Lost Media 2025 project. Yes, this is a shameless plug for my Lost Media Wiki endeavours. Over the past few months, I have written over 15 articles concerning the most hideous lost media out there. From executions to an incredibly fascinating piece of Manson Family-related lost media (which I strongly encourage folks to read once I publish it!!), a lot of the taboo has been covered by me.
Several months before I began the project, a little bird told me of a mostly lost YouTube series cal…

As the solitary heavyweight representative, Ramfire 100 quickly beat the 'drone' off the line. Michael Sorensen's newly-crowned Face-Off champion shielded the 'drone' from the approaching House Robot, as all three machines met opposite the upper mousetrap. Ramfire 100 positioned its spike to try and pierce the House Robot's top shell. The House Robot swatted Ramfire 100 with its overhead flipper, intercepting its attack and knocking the spike downwards. Ramfire 100 retreated, while the 'drone', scurrying beneath the descending mousetrap, cleared the end zone unharmed. Having successfully…
Ranking the Heat Ds
You know the drill. Every Heat D ranked from worst to best and given two of made to the worst episodes ever list, the bottom two are obvious. Anyways, unlike Heat A, B and C, Heat Ds are are lot more fluid and random with how they approach the episode, it can be a pretty average Heat or one full of allstars or destruction or just general silliness. In other words Heat D is usually where the series stays on path...or at least should be.

Hannibal-8
Very little information is available concerning Hannibal-8's proposed design. However, it was planned by Dan Danknick to be an eight-legged walker weighing approximately 80lbs. Danknick treated Hannibal-8 as an exercise in developing a robot with more efficient walking mechanisms, without compromising the process of building what would become Alexander.
Following experimentation with spherical ball joints, a prototype bank of four legs was created. Each MIG welded leg incorporated four separately cut bars of 1-inch square tube steel, and was attached to a connecting rod via custom spring-loaded knee joints. The entire system was attached to a solid steel bar designed to prevent the legs from rotating. With this arrangement, Dan Danknick loo…

Robot Wars Newsletter - Volume 5
Following the footsteps of other users on this Wiki, I have decided to scan and share what are very likely to be the rarest Robot Wars Club newsletters of all.
Long story short, my parents treated me to a Club membership to make up for the cancellation of the Titan magazine. It so happened that my membership ran into the period in which the original show was broadcast and ultimately cancelled by Five.
The very last newsletters I received were these: the first two issues of Volume 5. Both were distributed to Club members as the March and June 2004 issues respectively, the period in which the Club and Robot Wars Store were being shut down.
As addressed in the first page of Issue 1, existing Club members who had stayed on by this point would cont…
What if the seeding made sense? (Series 2)
i had to rewrite half of this blog i hope you're all happy
The seedings in Robot Wars made very little sense. Given how small the fandom is, I'm sure you're all familiar with some of the silly choices the producers made (MING 3!!! YOUR SON HAS RETURNED!!! I BRING THE 15TH SEEDING OF OLYMPUS!!!), so I've decided to not only fix the seedings in each series, sans 1 and 8, but also redo the series and how I think they would go!
Unfortunately, I have to start with Series 2, which is by far the worst series. However, hopefully I can make the series a little bit better by making the heats more balanced. I will have to take some educated guesses and make some leaps in logic for the gauntlet and trial stages, so just know this is likely not how it wo…
Ranking the Heat Cs
The third ranking of Heats and it's Heat C which tends to get a rather bad rep. I remember a while back, years ago I actually don't remember, Toast said something along the lines about Heat C being average and when compared so any other episode, they're much weaker in comparison, possibly even disposable. In many ways Heat C is where the series tries to mellow out a bit and relaxes to show the audience an "average" everyday basic Heat. Heat C's tend to have a poor reception as mentioned above as many are seen as dull and in some ways forgettable, not helped some Series has Heat C as their worst Heat of the series, so that kinda gives a clue to the quality of this ranking, but I for ne do find some Heat Cs to be great, and in some cases on…
Wiki Audited Series Revisited
OK folks, so, following on from Toast's Revisiting Ragnabot blog from last year, I'd like to look back at some of the Audited Series we've done on the Arena forums and look for any results or scenarios that could/would go the other way nowadays.
I'll be starting with Series 7 from late 2013 for reasons that I'll go into later on.

Moonlighting on the Lost Media Wiki for nearly a decade now... and seeking ideas!
Hello, ladies and gentlemen. As many of you know, I have been sporadically active on the Robot Wars Wiki for the past three or four years. There are a few reasons behind this: building a career I very much enjoy; recognising that the Wiki is arguably one of the most "complete" out there; competing in sports events (including a recent triathlon!); and primarily because I have been moonlighting on the Lost Media Wiki.
As I write this, the Lost Media Wiki is experiencing its one billionth DDoS attack. Indeed, with notoriety comes a ton of attention... not all of it positive! I suppose that's one redeeming quality of the Robot Wars Wiki being hosted on Wikia: greater protection from such attacks. While I await its return, I thought I'd announce that …
EVERY UK Championship Heat Winner Ranked - By Entertainment
A couple of days ago I was browsing the recent blogs on the Wiki, as I tend to do after a period of time without doing so. Here, I bumped into Diotoir's ranking of all Heat Bs in Robot Wars history. As a Series 9 defender in general, and a 9B lover in particular, I was rather mortified to see said episode languishing in the bottom three.
Once I stated my displeasure at seeing Eruption's sole Heat win overlooked, I had a comment in the form of SpaceManiac, who said: "I do disagree with its placement. Mind you, whereas Cherub, Behemoth and PP3D were really entertaining throughout, Eruption just wasn't. It's kind of like the Max Verstappen of Robot Wars... world-class but here to win and nothing else (which is perfectly fine for a show like Ro…
Robot Wars Names - The Best of the Rest
Robot names have been a big point of discussion for many years on this wiki, with blogs such as “Rating every competitor name in Robot Wars”, “The Best and Worst of Robot Wars names” and my own “The Worst Names in Robot Wars and Improving Them". However, there have been many other truly great names in the history of fighting robots outside of Robot Wars, as well as some incredible lows. So I thought I would dig into the Robot Wars “family tree” to find the best and worst, from its roots at the US live events, to the many other shows that branched off from Robot Wars, and also peeling back the layers of the TV show to judge some of the Robot Wars competitors we didn’t get to see.
For each section, I’ll be doing a Top 10 and Bottom 10, or a r…
What if Extreme 1 didn't happen?
OK guys, here's a big question, that I'm asking in preparation for another Audit of Series 5 I'm planning to do at some point.
I mean look, I have a lot of time for Extreme 1, it was a great series that always has something to offer, even the poorer episodes are plenty watchable. In fact, apart from the Armed Forces special, and even that had its moments, I wouldn't object to being forced to watch any episode of it.
However, I do think Series 5 suffered a bit as a result of it. Because Extreme was so good, our expectations were thus raised quite a bit for Series 5, which is why, when it was as hit and miss as it was, I think the disappointment (for want of a better word) hit home more than it would otherwise have done. (Though, to be fair, a…
Robot Wars Club Newsletter – Volume 3, Issue 4
I recently obtained Volume 3, Issue 4 of the Robot Wars Club Newsletter — which, to my knowledge, hasn't been archived or shared online until now.
This 28-page issue contains a mix of news, behind-the-scenes content, and a few interesting ads and competitions related to the Robot Wars scene at the time. I've scanned the entire issue for preservation and community access.
Below is a full gallery of the pages (including the front and back covers), indexed to match the original publication order. Ad pages not directly related to Robot Wars have been excluded for relevance.
If anyone else has Club Newsletter issues from Volumes 3–5, please consider sharing. These issues are rare and well worth preserving.

Ranking the Heat Bs
A sequel to the Ranking of the Heat A, this is dedicated to Heat Bs, namely the main championship Heat Bs from Series 1-10, Dutch Wars 1-2, German and Extreme Warriors 2, seeing what is the best and worse of the show's second episodes. For me, what Heat B should do is captivate and trap audiences by enticing them with more brilliant action to get them to stick around and thus the worst a Heat B can do is bore or make them lose faith so let's begin with the worst...

FRA World Championship 2004
Intended event draw included below. Image is sourced from bugs.nl (here and various FRA and Dutch Robot Games forum posts also discuss the event from the perspective of competitors. The draw is known from the explanation in the image below (ignoring the erroneous Pinser vs Hades draw, which should be Pinser vs U.R.O.), alongside Craig Danby corroborating on Discord that Tanto was intended to face Ka-Pow! in its first fight.
The cancellation of Robot Wars after Series 7 prompted the Fighting Robots Association to organise an independent World Championship with 96 heavyweight robots, to be held within the Series 7 Robot Wars Arena. Seeded positions were offered to Series 7 heat winners other than Thermidor 2, US veterans Megabyte and Shrederat…
Series 3 Extras
Similar to my blog post about "Robots that need more information" I want to do something similar and that is dedicate a bit of time cataloguing the "extras" of Series 3 and perhaps understanding a bit more as to where and when they were scheduled to appear, whether they were withdrawn from the main competition or side events, or even just simple reserves. Hopefully getting more info in the future...
Seen in Heat D, was meant to have competed in said episode, replaced by Flipper. Could have been renamed to Roadkill and may have been the one responsible for the controversy, though this is mere speculation.
Seen in Heat G behind Haardvark and next to Manic Mutant, has round blue body with a wedge?

Series 5 Canon Audit
OK, so I don't know if Diotoir (the user) is psychic or something, but they started doing their Series 5 with Four Way Melees blog just as I arrived at Series 5 on my year round long Mech+ bingewatch! Seriously though, great stuff with that blog so far, but I just can't help reading alternative Series 5s anymore without thinking of butterflies the differing results would cause to the Extreme 1 events filmed after Series 5.
For example, MouseTrap not getting as badly damaged as it did IRL would probably mean it'd be it, not Hippobotamus, taking Atomic's place in the Annihilator. And Bulldog Breed would probably be there too, and would have a great chance of winning it. And, I'm getting ahead of where they're at at the time of writing, but, i…
Fifth Wars with Four Way Melees
I've mentioned in the past about a competition where Series 5 is in a four way melee as oppose to the head to heads we saw, but keeping in line with how it was setup on the show. So here I wanna chuck my thoughts on how a redone Series 5 would play out, how battles may change and if results would be different? Basing this on what we saw in the series, how many of the opponents acted in melee format (e.g. Firestorm, Chaos 2, Bigger Brother, Behemoth all act different in a melee than a head to head...) The seeds will remain the same but like it should be, kept apart in the Heats until finals. Some battles may just be the same so they may get skipped. Anyways Let's get going.

Extreme Destruction Progress Report
OK, so, firstly, thanks again to Diotoir for those download links for AoD and ED. In the two weeks since I downloaded the two games, I've played them most days, but I've been focussing on the latter in the last few days, mainly because I already played AoD on the PS2 many years beforehand and I barely played ED, thanks to the only computer I had access to that the game worked on being nearly 400 miles away at my Grandparents' house.
But anyway, I've been playing ED a lot and, yeah, I think it's not that bad a game. A bit awkward compared to AoD, especially in the way you're not able to remap the controls to something more suitable and less awkward and straining, but its still perfectly decent and playable.
Though I must say, the Aircraft Car…
Ranking the Robot Wars Videogames
So one night I was thinking to myself about the Robot Wars video games, having played all of them and having mixed thoughts on them overall. That said I cannot deny that Robot Wars videogames certainly played a massive roll when I was young, having spent hours playing them no matter the quality. Even today I have tried to get Arenas of Destruction and Extreme Destruction to work on modern PCs and managed to do so back on my Windows 10 (so far only ED works on Win 11, Arenas needs a few tweaks but I do upload them to the Archive so anyone can play them!) So anyways, like the other rankings, this is from "worst to best" based on my own experiences of them and I don't believe anyone's done a videogame ranking yet so it's original. So given th…
A Dubious Theory
Happy New Year to all! (Even though we're nearly two weeks into it now!)
Right, first things first, I probably won't be as active on here this year as last year as I've just started a big new project for alternatatehistory.com that, I've worked out, will take me until around next Easter to complete. (Here's the link for anyone who wants to follow it) Plus, I have other projects on the go elsewhere too that need completing. But I'll still try and come here as much as I can and not just to do the Arena once it resumes.
But anyway, onto the main reason I'm doing this blog. In the past on this Wiki, I've put forward numerous theories on various odd aspects of RW, ranging from my (as it turned out, correct) theory about Flipper and Parthian Shot …
Ranking Every Robot Wars Competitor From Yorkshire
There's been plenty of these ranking blogs done on the Robot Wars Wiki, for favourite robots, battles, you name it. However, I don't think (correct me if I'm wrong) anyone has ever ranked every robot to come from a certain county.
Throughout the run of Robot Wars, many counties across England were responsible for giving us some of the greatest competitors that we came to know, Suffolk was the birthplace of Chaos 2 and Storm 2 and Oxfordshire played host to Hypno-Disc and Terrorhurtz. Just like the robots, almost every user on the Robot Wars Wiki is from an English county and some I imagine are very happy to have such great robots associated with their homelands. Unfortunately for me, my home county West Yorkshire, was never able to give a Ra…

Extreme Robots 2024
Yearly post about the Extreme Robots events, this time back in Gloucester. Admittedly I did sort of rush through the pits this year as I was racing against the clock for the train. That said I did see the replica of my beloved Shunt, my personal favourite House Robot as well as Stinger in the pits and Dantomkia in action (albeit at the start of the show and not in a proper battler per say) Also had a brief chat with Hazel from team Firestorm so that was nice, she even confirmed that Firestorm and Razer's Heats in Series 6 were filmed on the same day (my memory was correct!) and apparently she's a lecturer now with some students knowing her (except apparently last year's lot who are too young!) Sadly because I was in a rush I didn't ask abo…

What if Stinger beat Chaos 2?
this may have been done before but i Do Not Care, i have Brainthoughts
I always thought that Stinger had won that fight against Chaos 2. Even before I became the massive Stinger fan I now am (second fav of all time woooo), I had felt that damage being a draw was a stupid conclusion to come to, and that Stinger were the more dominant machine throughout. So what if they had won? Well, I'm bored and have nothing better to do, so let's find out.

Robot Wars The Alternate Wars Series 3
One of my more popular ideas is that of Robot Wats The Alternate Wars in which it's a competition where we see an alternate set of events, or at least another run of the mill fictional competition. The first series used Arenas of Destruction for a unique but short competition, then Series 2 used Resetti Replicas and this third series will be using the "Robot Wars 2004 Mod" which has tons of competitors as well as some bots carried over from other Robot Arena mods out there. Here, the competition will be increased from 12 Heats to a much better 16 Heat structure and for the first time include Seeds (based on previous performance AND if they're available to use). In fact, there's over 298 potential competitors to choose from. Maybe you may wa…
Ragnabot 4 Side Brackets
Who wouldn't want a third Ragnabot 4 related side blog?? This will be of most use after the heats have concluded and we have a full Top 112 which will allow for off-the-cuff ideas like "what if all the Heat Final losers moved on", and maybe some other ideas once the tournament is fully complete. But we'll see!

- 2 If Ragnabot 4 Used The Melees (Top 112)
- 3 Ragnabot 4 With No Upsets Whatsoever
- 3.1 Quarter-Finals
- 3.2 Semi-Finals
Although we can't say with certainty since the Top 112 format of Ragnabot 4 hasn't even taken place yet, I think the Ragnabot 3 format which used the Melees to narrow 96 robots down to the standard Top 64 of the previous two Ragnabots is my favourite of all the formats we've ever used. For …
Series 3 Research and Observations
OK, so, in the past two and a bit years, I've been watching Robot Wars on Mech+ on a loop, beginning with Series 2 and finishing with Extreme 2, ie the seven series I actually watched when they first aired. I finished my second run a few weeks ago, and began again with Series 2. While watching said series, I noticed a few things I hadn't before, such as how light Caliban is, which really has changed my view on how it would fare in combat, and also, during Mace's heat, I noticed that Brian Fountain has a very small... (gag) ponytail! (vomits everywhere)
Anyway, I'm on to Series 3 now, and there are a few things I've discovered during random Googling sessions in the past about said series that I'd like to take the opportunity of watching it a…
In Search of Good Robot Wars Names on BAMZOOKi
OK, so, if you're of a similar age to myself, you might remember a CBBC show called BAMZOOKi. A similar show to Robot Wars in many ways, it involved teams of kids creating virtual creatures known as 'Zooks' via, what would probably be called nowadays, an app on the CBBC website, an then competing in a series of games, some of them similar to the RW Trials. It was hosted by Jake Humphrey, nowadays better known for his football presenting work, while Richie Webb provided commentary very similar to that of JP on RW.
It ran for three series from 2004-06, with a less successful revival at the end of the decade with new hosts and a new format; I never saw that as I didn't watch CBBC after 2006, and then pretty much gave up on it after it stopped …

FightFest 2024
A quick update to let you all know about FightFest 2024, which will be happening later this month over the August bank holiday weekend (Aug 24-26) in Rotherham, Sheffield!
FightFest is a yearly Featherweight competition, filling the role of the FRA Championship 2024, and is open to the public for the first time as a spectator event. There will be on-site commentators, including our very own NJGW while the action unfolds in the full combat arena at Magna Science Centre.
I'll be among the competing robots with my featherweight Euphoria and will be throwing hands with Robot Wars veterans and featherweight circuit legends alike. Robots from the likes of Team Shock, Team Toon and even Team Terror Turtle will be competing, while modern-day legends l…
Let me re-introduce myself
OK, so, for the past 17 years and two months, I've been known to the online Robot Wars community, firstly on YouTube and nowadays on here, as hogwild94, a moniker I came up with for myself when I was 13. In case you are wondering, it derives from the first Laurel and Hardy film I ever owned on VHS.
Well, I turn 31 next March and I barely use it anywhere anymore. Aside from here, the only other sites I still use it on are the Deal or No Deal forum (where almost everyone knows my real name anyway, so just call me by it instead) and my old YouTube channel, which has been sitting idle for over 10 years now.
And so, with regret, I've decided it's time to leave my old moniker behind. I'm not going to change my account name completely so as not to …
Tornado - All 44 Fights Ranked
Hello, everyone. Ragnabot 4's recent activity has piqued the interest of more than a few Wiki members. Members of limited - or straight-up no - recent activity have returned. It's not only been Ragnabot votes that these people have branched back out to, but blog posts as well, with Toast, Raz3r amongst others delivering some quality reading content.
For my take on things, I'll be delving into an individual machine's fights. Toast's Behemoth specific blog is a notable look into these type of blogs, and I will be taking the turn of Tornado today.
Tornado? Why Tornado? The boring box that professionally grinded down opponents without much flamboyancy or visual flair? Yeah, that box.
My own tag towards Tornado mainly cropped up during the The Ult…
