*Scutter's Revenge won because Pussycat were disqualified by the judges for using an illegally sharpened blade which shattered in the arena. Scutter's Revenge went through. This was also the same show that Cassius 2 claimed to have a device on their robot which would fire them right out of the pit but unfortunately, after they had gone into the pit, they couldn't get out because their robot went into the pit the wrong way!

As well as the main battles going on throughout the series, there were also other mini contests during the middle of each show which include Robot Soccer (where robots had to score the most goals they could with a house robot, usually Dead Metal in goal), Walker Exhibition Battles (where two walker robots had a battle between each other to determine who was the best walker machine, there were two of these) and finally the Pinball competition where robots went around a course scoring as many points as they could by hitting targets, knocking down barrels, going through obstacles, completing tasks etc. and the house robots were in there to try and stop you.
