The Announcer beginning a bout.

Announcer: Remember, building robots is extremely dangerous and should not be attempted without great care.
—Safety disclaimer at the end of each episode

Jonathan Pearce: Ohh! Flipped up and over! Chaos 2 has won the final, flipping Hypno-Disc! The fears have proven true for the Hypno-Disc boys! Chaos 2 came in, got underneath the disc, ironically... flipped up and over, and Chaos 2 are the worthy winners, the champions! Crowned, as Hypno-Disc lies battered and beaten, the House Robots close in... Chaos 2 will try and get away from Matilda - [Chaos 2 flips Matilda over] - and attacks Matilda now! You can see the chainsaw has come off the back of Matilda! What an untidy and ghastly sight she makes! Shunt... trying to get away from Chaos 2, and why not? The champions want to beat everyone! Taking on Shunt, and flipping Shunt over! So that's two of the House Robots done! Off comes Shunt's exhaust stack! Chaos 2 wants more, toying with the House Robots and destroying them! This is great fun! ["Cease" is finally called] But they will be back of course, and revenge will be in their hearts for the champions in the next series!
—Jonathan Pearce's iconic Motor Mouth commentary as Chaos 2 celebrates winning Series 3 in style

Jonathan Pearce: The draw was hard luck for the Weightmans, but... you run the risks and you take your chances in Robot Wars. When you enter, you know what's gonna happen to your machine, if you fail at the highest level... and I'm afraid, at the very highest level, against the awesome power of Hypno-Disc... they've been left in splinters somewhat, haven't they?
—Jonathan again, after Splinter was famously torn apart by Hypno-Disc in the Series 4 semi-finals

Craig: Light the fires.
Julia: Cue the applause.
Craig: We've got a brand new champion...
Both: ...on Robot Wars!
—Sign-off at the end of the 4th Wars Grand Final
