The MTV Pilot was a one-off pilot episode for a prospective US series of Robot Wars, planned to be broadcast by MTV. It consisted of a knockout tournament between four American robots, and was filmed in summer 2000, a month before the Series 4 Christmas specials were filmed. Eight robots were originally planned to compete, but after one team pulled out, the producers reduced the number of participating robots to four, with teams having to pass through auditions to gain places in the competition. Each team that competed in the pilot received a $5,000 appearance fee.

  • The MTV Pilot was a one-off pilot episode for a prospective US series of Robot Wars, planned to be broadcast by MTV. It consisted of a knockout tournament between four American robots, and was filmed in summer 2000, a month before the Series 4 Christmas specials were filmed. Eight robots were originally planned to compete, but after one team pulled out, the producers reduced the number of participating robots to four, with teams having to pass through auditions to gain places in the competition. Each team that competed in the pilot received a $5,000 appearance fee. While MTV elected not to air the pilot or commission its own series of Robot Wars, the show would later be picked up by TNN, which produced two seasons of Robot Wars: Extreme Warriors for US audiences. As of 2017, footage of the pilot has yet to be found. As it was filmed prior to The Fourth Wars, the MTV Pilot was the first competition to use the third incarnation of the Robot Wars Arena.
