* One of the exhibition matches at the end of the series featured the fur-covered Nemesis and Ramrombit (a sacrificial robot built especially for the occasion) tag-teamed against Sgt. Bash. In preparation for the event, Nemesis arrived with kebabs attached to it and a chef's hat, and commentator Jonathan Pearce remarked that he had heard the team doused their robot in paraffin as well. The end result was a true CMOF, and enough to make any pyromaniac weep with joy.
** When the occasional question appears as to who actually won the Inferno Insurrection, the universal response is that the winners were [[KillItWithFire Sergeant Bash]] and the audience. Contemporary fansite Tectonic Robot Wars listed the result as "Winner: '''FIRE!'''"

*** One of Legion's team members claims Legion is "[[CriticalResearchFailure the only clusterbot]] on ''Robot Wars''". And yes, this is the series after Gemini was introduced.[[note]]Although he may have meant to say it was the only ''antweight'' clusterbot on the show - which was certainly true - and just misspoke[[/note]]

* During the fight with Carbide, Rapid is bashed so badly that they start smoking. The following sentences come out of Jonathan.
---> Oh, but look at this, that's C0 - No, it's not C02 Venting. THEY'RE ''ON FIRE, I THINK! '''THEY'RE ON FIRE!''''' They are absolutely on fire! There is a big Robot Wars term for this! Rapid is ''bust!'' Oh, come on baby, light my fire!
** Rapid then proceeds ''to actually burst in to flames'' leaving both Jonathan and Angela exclaiming in surprise at the fact it is ''literally on fire.''

'''Dan (Track-tion):''' If that bar came this way, [[BringMyBrownPants I'd need a change of trousers]]!
*** Dan was ''mortified'' when Angela snuck behind him as he was saying this and asked him to repeat it. He clammed up so awkwardly that she had to turn to Anna and ask her what he'd said instead.
