The launch trailer for the all-new series of Robot Wars has just landed.

Anticipation has been steadily building ever since it was announced that presenters Dara O Briain and Angela Scanlon would be bringing back the iconic show which had such a devoted following back in the early noughties. The suitably dramatic slow-mo trailer has all the fire, metal-crushing collisions and general mechanical carnage that you'd expect from Robot Wars, and ends with the tagline: no machine is safe. We don't doubt that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faqRvgwKWlA The BBC recently showed off their upgraded house robots, and it looks like the Matilda, Dead Metal, Shunt and Sir Killalot of 2016 are going to be giving contestants a harder time than ever. The revamped Robot Wars is due to air later this summer.
