Don't know if anyone's picked up on this but there has been a statement from Mentorn: "We're immensely proud of the three series we have produced for BBC Two. Robot Wars has an incredibly loyal and passionate fan base, and we're already exploring a number of ideas to find a new home for this fantastic show." So even if the BBC has given up on it, the production company hasn't, which is positive. [[User:Combatwombat555|Combatwombat555]] ([[User talk:Combatwombat555|talk]]) 17:12, March 16, 2018 (UTC) |

| + | :People on the subreddit and URW groups have been hypothesising new networks for Robot Wars to go on in the wake of this news. Dave was bandied about a fair bit, which makes sense given that they started repeating Robot Wars way back in 2010/2011 (I forget when) which was before pretty much any other networks jumped the bandwagon to my knowledge. Dave also took on Red Dwarf after that was axed by the BBC as well. Obviously it's too early to tell if another network is going to rise to the challenge, but if not, Battlebots, KOB and Clash Bots are or soon will be filming, so there's still plenty of robo-carnage to look forward to.

Revision as of 17:22, 16 March 2018
I didn't really know where to put this, but the sad news is breaking that it's looking like Robot Wars has been cancelled: https://mobile.twitter.com/TeamCarbide/status/974606556959531008 (CW555) 109.207.29.2 11:52, March 16, 2018 (UTC)

- And there I was saying that it was still gonna happen :( Well at least merchandise is meant to be released later this year and the arena is technically is around till 2020...so who know? Also it's nice that Team Nemesis appeared in the first and last Series/episode(s) of Robot Wars.Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 12:37, March 16, 2018 (UTC)
- A real shame, has to be said, but it was still fun while it lasted. Lets just hope that BattleBots and King of Bots will last a little longer. CrashBash (talk) 15:04, March 16, 2018 (UTC)
