Loanerbots were competitor robots which were built by the Robot Wars technical crew and loaned to teams in order to make up the numbers in a certain series. In most cases, this was because the team had experienced a shipping mishap or technical malfunction with their original robot and needed a replacement. Loanerbots were mainly used in Robot Wars: Extreme Warriors and Nickelodeon Robot Wars, but were also seen in Series 2 of Dutch Robot Wars and the UK vs Germany Special; the latter broadcast as part of German Robot Wars and Robot Wars: The Sixth Wars.

  • Loanerbots were competitor robots which were built by the Robot Wars technical crew and loaned to teams in order to make up the numbers in a certain series. In most cases, this was because the team had experienced a shipping mishap or technical malfunction with their original robot and needed a replacement. Loanerbots were mainly used in Robot Wars: Extreme Warriors and Nickelodeon Robot Wars, but were also seen in Series 2 of Dutch Robot Wars and the UK vs Germany Special; the latter broadcast as part of German Robot Wars and Robot Wars: The Sixth Wars. In the US and Nickelodeon series, loanerbots were only used to make up the numbers in side events and were usually not allowed to compete in the main US Championship. However, one (Tiger Cat) was brought in as a reserve for Conquering Clown in the Season 1 US Championship, after the latter withdrew due to technical problems. In Dutch Series 2, they were used in the main competition due to a lack of competitors or, in the case of Hard, to replace an identically-named competitor which the team withdrew before the series began. The loanerbots were, for the most part, below the standards of regular competitor robots, and rarely enjoyed success when fighting against them. Due to their ineffective weapons, fragile armour and basic drive systems, they often became targets for the House Robots to deal extra damage where possible, and generally did not hold much sentimental value among roboteers. The sole exception was the undefeated Tut Tut, which was reworked by Team Raptor's Chris Harriman to feature a more powerful pneumatics system for its axe, and won two events across Extreme Warriors and the Nickelodeon series with these revisions.
