Just a quick one this time, but this is an interesting development: It appears that circa Series 4 of the original run of Robot Wars, participating teams could receive the live, uncut studio footage of battles they participated in on request. This means that two battles featuring Iron-Awe survive in their raw, unedited form:
Iron-Awe vs Steg 2: Uncut Version vs Broadcast Version
Also, I mentioned these on Twitter when they first started appearing, but this channel has recently uploaded an absolutely enormous number of videos from the live events in '96 and '97 that were effectively a pilot for the TV series. It may well be that some of these clips are the same ones that convinced the BBC to commission the show, so it seems worth mentioning them here...
