I used to have this on VHS, as well as Chaos 2 and the House Robots versions,when I was a child... And sometime later, I bought Chaos 2, Razer and Killalot on DVD, but always wanted to get this one, but never got the chance until now... And I'm so happy I did! The overall quality of the product was perfect - no scratches on the disc, the case wasn't damaged in any way... And now I can have a full-blown Robot Wars Archive and Warrior Collection marathon!

I, as a big RW fan, always wondered about the mystery and awe-inspiring power behind Hypno Disc. From the first ever fight where it mauled Robogeddon to shreds, to it's very disappointing exit in the 4th wars to Pussycat, to it's majourly upsetting loss to BB in the 5th wars. This DVD takes you behind the scenes (or at least, in the Rose twins' shed in Banbury) and gives you a little look at what made Hypno Disc one of the most recognizable robots ever. The DVD itself is not as long as some of the others in the series (compared to the Razer one) but it's still packed with tons of fights, and in-between commentary from the Rose boys about their veiws/feelings about each battle. They also go into a fair bit of depth about the actual robot, showing you changes made between Wars, and the faults that caused it to be eliminated. Overall a great DVD for anyone who is a diehard RW (such as myself) though, would have been nice to see some more fights from Extreme I and II in there. But that tiny little detriment is not enough to take away the entertainment factor of the DVD. (and seeing Hypno absolutely destroy Splinter in the semis of series 4 HAS to be worth £2-£5 of anybodies money)Read full review
After recent re-runs of Robot Wars on Dave, i remembered just how great the show was and how entertaining it was. After sulking for half an hour that it will never be on T.V again i decided to see if there were any DVD's out there and came across this. What a great product, especially for fans of Hypno Disc which from my point of view was the most spectacular robot to watch. With interviews with the creators of the robot and an inside look at the bot itself, this DVD offers a more personal approach towards the programme. It also features a walkthrough all of Hypno Disc's fights from its first to the 5th wars. Great action footage of the flywheel in action and some shots of it being tested. All in all this is a great DVD and if like me, there are any Robot Wars fans out there who miss it from their childhood and want trip down memory lane, i can highly recomend this item along with the other DVD's in the range.Read full review
Hi I really enjoyed watching this dvd it exceeded my expectations by robots doing so much destruction to each other and it was very enjoyable watching them do it.The only real down side is that it is quite a short dvd time wise compared to other dvds. I bought it becouse i wanted to continue collecting robot wars dvds.Plus it has quite a lot of extras so overall i rate this dvd 4/5.
