After the retirement of All Torque, a new machine Small Torque was built, but Iddon had left the team. Martyn Sloss was the team captain in Series 2-3, before Richie McBride took over. The team made two robots for Extreme 1 and Series 5, Fighting Torque and Hippobotomus. Fighting Torque exclusively appeared in a Mayhem battle of Extreme 1, but had already been replaced by Hippobotomus by the time it was given a Wild Card entry into the second Annihilator after Atomic pulled out, so it fought under the previous name. Hippobotomus fought under its new name in Series 5. For Series 5, Martyn Sloss joined up with his wife, Lesley, and son, Daniel, to enter another machine, Bot Out Of Hell, whilst Richie McBride fought with his daughter Ellie as well as his son Alex whilst with Hippobotomus.
