Robot History
Extreme 1
In the middleweight melee of Extreme 1, Genesis went up against Mammoth, Doom, Hard Cheese, Zap and Typhoon. Genesis got off to a ponderous start, pushing tentatively against several middleweights before being struck twice by Typhoon. It immediately became immobilised, and was counted out by Refbot. As soon as the count was complete, it was flung by the floor flipper.

Genesis was then left alone as Mammoth and Zap were then flipped by the floor flipper too, followed by Doom and Hard Cheese, cease was called and Typhoon was declared the winner.
