I havent seen this proggie around for a good few years now, has it all ended? It wasnt bad entertainment.

That was slightly silly as the contestants were about a third of the weight.

I thought Mortis was cool but it was pretty flawed in its design. Didnt they say it cost something like 20k to build?

Sgt Bash had the flamethrower on a turret, camo paint and a firemans 'jaws of life' mounted on its front.

I helped the guy who did Big(ger) Brother cut some sheets of metal



Wasn't there one which was called cheese? I 'flippy' type one.

That would be the Wheely Big Cheese.

I have fond memories of Hypnodisks first appearance. I thought it would never last, but the carnage! I'd never seen robots ripped to shreds like that before. Was the disk made out of concrete or something? It certainly had a lot of weight behind it.

I think the disk weighed about 20 kilos, coupled with a powerful motor driving it =

Anyone remember Killerhurtz with the big axe?

razer, in the later series, but road block in the first... possibly lol, won myself 50p in a bet that that would win...

I remember that robot well, in the later series it had a police siren on it

The first series was presented by Jeremy Clarkson!

The same guy also made Terrorhurtz, it was 4th in the 6th wars and Beta which is too powerful for robot wars as it literally tears steel floor plates apart.

Will have a look later - the bloody connection at work is rubbish
