Robot Wars Extreme Series 1

A special series recorded February 2001 between the Fourth and Fifth Wars. The series contains lots of less serious battles, different challenges and lots of fun, challenging and different tournaments for many robots to get involve in to show everyone else who is boss! This page gives you all you need to know about this series.

Please note that I have split up this page into all the different tournaments there were in this series. I haven't given you them in the order they were aired on television and note that some shows featured more than one tournament/challenge/battle in so not all the tournaments/categories you see here take up one whole show, there were lots of different tournaments in each show.

Challenge Belt

Behemoth was given the challenge belt to start with but can they keep it? They must battle other robots, the winner receives the belt who must try and keep it and not lose it to any other robots they take on.

Robots involved: Behemoth, The Steel Avenger, Stinger, Tornado, Comengetorix, Wild Thing, Chaos 2, Pussycat

Winner: Tornado - they managed to keep hold of the Challenge Belt no matter how many battles they fought!

Flipper Frenzy

All the best flippers put in the arena at once! Who do you think wins? Which robot has the best flipper? Well, instead of taking on each other, they decided to gang up and form a rebellion against the house robots!

Robots involved: Chaos 2, Thermidor 2, Wheely Big Cheese, Bigger Brother

Well, as I said, they turned on the house robots (who were Matilda and Sgt Bash). Sgt Bash was flipped over, but they couldn't get it out of the arena! Matilda survived as she single handedly took out Chaos 2, Wheely Big Cheese and Bigger Brother. Thermidor 2, the only survivor and last one left in, couldn't take out Matilda, no matter how hard they tried!

Winner: Thermidor 2 (because they were the only ones still alive after the battle, however, lots of people disagree and say that Matilda actually won!)

Armed Forces Battle

Contestant Robot to Win: Stinger - because he was the last one to go out.

New robots are given a chance to join the Robot Wars family but first they must fight an experienced robot who have been in the Wars for a long time!

Tag Team

Robots team up in twos to fight other teams. May the best team win!

Mayhem

How do I describe this? Basically, just a MAYHEM! An excuse for robots to go into the war zone and fight. The winners of each mayhem qualify for an annihilator at the end of the series were 6 robots (winners from the mayhem) fight until only 1 is left. There are also two annihilators.

Vengeance

Many robots have grudges on each other, may be because of losing to them previously or they want to prove something. Well, this gives them a chance to settle old scores.

All Stars

The best machines fight to determine who the best of the best is.
