Winner of show and current holders of challenge belt: Tornado

The final fight was Terrorhurtz Vs Tornado. Tornado beat one of the most violent robots ever to come into the arena, Terrorhurtz with their terrifying, big and beefy axe which took out many robots during tonight's show, including Dantomkia and SMIDSY. Tornado, who picked their interchangeable weapon wisely won in less than 20 seconds by pushing Terrorhurtz across the arena, activating the pit release button and pushing them into the pit as soon as it had opened! Absolutely brilliant and I loved the carnage, the joking atmosphere, the clever tactics and skills used and every single bit of it. Robot Wars is definitely superb, wicked and AWESOME!!!!

 

Iron Maidens (1 Show)

Robots battle it out in the arena but this time, our female roboteers take to the controls. 

The wives of roboteers control their machines. They needed experience and practice to win the first ever iron maiden championship and they did very well. They showed that it isn't as easy as it looks so all those smarty pants at home who thought that they could come and have ago because any fool can do it are totally wrong and had better think again. They also showed that practice does improve driving skills. It is often something forgotten by our robot builders but is often the most important thing - always practice your driving skills as this will often lead to victory.

This tournament in Extreme 2 also helped to bring more females into the sport which is a very cool thing. And to this day, more and more females are still getting involved and that is one of the great things that this sport has done.

Round 1, Melee 1 (Two robots go through)

Chompalot Vs Pussycat Vs Spin Doctor: A tyre came off one of Spin Doctor's wheels.

Round 1, Melee 2 (Two robots go through)

Kat 3 Vs Behemoth Vs Riptilion: Kat 3 severed Riptilion's power cord.
 

Round 2, Battle 1

Pussycat Vs Kat 3: Pussycat won on a judges' decision.

Round 2, Battle 2

Chompalot Vs Behemoth: Chompalot flipped over by Behemoth and couldn't self-right. Shunt self-righted Chompalot and then knocked the removable link out of Behemoth so Chompalot won.
 

Final

Chompalot Vs Pussycat: Chomp pushed Pussy down the pit.

Winner: Chompalot

Thanks to Chris Maddix for providing me with some of the above results.

 

+++ POSSIBLE SPOILERS +++

The BBC never did finish showing the entire series and I don't think they ever will. I'm fed up of waiting to see them so here are the results of the last three episodes of Extreme 2. These shows are unseen by viewers unless you have Sky/Digital and saw them on BBC Choice (or BBC 3 it now is) or if you have seen these shows from another country. If you don't want to know the results, then don't read on. Thanks to X -Smasher 3 for providing me with this!
