Robot Wars: The First Great War was a video based around the first series of Robot Wars. It was released on VHS on March 29th 1999, making it the first general video release of Robot Wars. It featured behind-the-scenes footage, clips of some of the earliest robotic combat contests, and highlights of the heats and grand final which saw Roadblock be crowned as the first UK Series Champion. The title of the video is derived from the nickname of World War I. The UK VHS release was originally shipped with a collectible tin box that included the VHS tape in a standard case inside.
