Following the debut of the first UK series in early 1998, a variety of Robot Wars Merchandise was released as the show began to gain popularity. Among the merchandise to be offered included video/DVD releases, books, video games and toys based on competitor and House Robots, among others, the range generating a high volume of sales and revenue throughout the original run of Robot Wars.
Merchandise was also offered to coincide with the rebooted series, the first items of these including the DVD/Blu-ray release of Series 8 along with the books Robot Wars: Build Your Own Robot and Robot Wars: The Official Handbook. A calendar was released in late 2017 as an item of merchandise, featuring images of the House Robots and eight competitors from Series 8-10. A range of toys and playsets created by HEXBUG were then released in June 2018, with a range of Construction Sets surfacing in 2019.
Pullbacks
The Pullbacks were a series of toys modelled on the House Robots and some of the more famous competitors from the original series. As their names implied, most of these had a pullback motor which enabled them to move along the floor once they had been pulled backwards, though some featured friction motors or a ripcord system instead. Most Pullbacks were packaged with small accessories such as barrels, ramps and girders, some of which were based on items featured in Trial events from the first four UK Series. All featured moving weapons (or arms in Refbot's case) which could be operated by buttons, levers, switches, wind-up motions or other methods. A few had removable panels (e.g. the rear panel of Chaos 2), or interchangeable weapons (such as Matilda's chainsaw/flywheel, or Sir Killalot, whose lance could be replaced by a hammer). Several of these Pullback toys were also rereleased as two-packs, often pairing a House Robot and a competitor robot. These were packaged in unique boxes and sometimes included accessories which were not present in the Pullback toy's single release. The models released were: •Dead Metal •Growler •Matilda •Mr. Psycho •Refbot •Sgt. Bash •Shunt •Sir Killalot •Chaos 2 •Dantomkia •Firestorm 3 •Hypno-Disc •Panic Attack •Pussycat •Razer •Stinger •Tornado •Wheely Big Cheese •X-Terminator 2
Pitstop Kits
In addition to the main Pullback range, three larger Pitstop Kits were also released, allowing the user to construct the following robots using the parts and tools provided: •Hypno-Disc •Panic Attack •Matilda
Minibots
A series of smaller metal Pullback-style toys, most of which did not have moving parts unlike their larger counterparts. •Dead Metal •Matilda •Refbot •Sgt. Bash •Shunt •Sir Killalot •Chaos 2 •Dominator 2 •Firestorm •Gemini •Hypno-Disc •Mega Morg •Panic Attack •Plunderbird 5 •Pussycat •Razer •Suicidal Tendencies •Tornado •Wheely Big Cheese •Wild Thing •X-Terminator 2
UK video/DVD/Blu-ray releases
The first Robot Wars video that could be obtained was American Robot Wars 1996 in 1998, which could be purchased upon joining the Robot Wars Club. It featured battles taken from the 1996 edition of the original US Robot Wars events. In addition to the full release, a short preview video was sent to new members of the Robot Wars Club as part of their membership pack. The first video to be released for retail was the VHS title The First Great War in March 1999, which featured a review of the Heats and the Grand Final from the First Wars, with the exception of Heat D. The video also featured behind-the-scenes segments, highlights of the 1995 UK Open Competition preceding the television series, and The Constructor's Guide - a featurette giving tips and practical advice on how to build a competitor robot. A second Robot Wars Club-exclusive release, A History of the Third Wars, was first made available to new members in 2000. This was a 18-minute review of The Third Wars, showing clips from each of the sixteen Heats, two Semi-Finals and the Grand Final in a similar format to the recap shown in the latter episode. Jonathan Pearce provided summaries for each competitor highlighted in the video, with excerpts of his original commentary used over clips from the Grand Final battles. Two different versions of History of the Third Wars were produced, one with a 'short break' advertising other merchandise items to Club members. The next home video release was The First World Championship, which featured the first of three World Championships filmed during the original show's run. The First World Championship was filmed following the Third Wars, and initially released on VHS in March 2000, with a DVD release following in 2005. The First World Championship had a considerably longer running time than a standard Series 3 episode, of around 70 minutes in length; the competition consisted of a straightforward knockout tournament between sixteen robots and spanning across fifteen battles, fighting for the coveted prize of Robot Wars World Champion. Eleven nations were represented in the special. Later in 2000 the Special Edition Double Pack was released. This set included both the First World Championship and American Robot Wars 1996 videos, marking the first time that the latter was available outside of Robot Wars Club membership. Following this, the Ultimate Warrior Collection was released in late July 2002, the first Robot Wars titles to be released on DVD as well as VHS. It consisted of a series of four individual releases, three of which were dedicated to some of the most successful competitors in the show's history at the time of The Fifth Wars. Competitors to receive their own Ultimate Warrior Collection releases were Chaos 2, Hypno-Disc and Razer. Each of the latter releases featured interviews with the roboteers who built and entered their respective robots, footage of almost every battle the teams fought in prior to the Sixth Wars, and a detailed look into how their robots were built and operated. The final Ultimate Warrior Collection release, Sir Killalot and the House Robots, was dedicated to the House Robots and received the alternate Ultimate Archive Collection label. As such, it showcased each of the original five House Robots' best and worst moments as well as numerous behind-the-scenes segments and interviews with House Roboteers, including designer Chris Reynolds. Sir Killalot and the House Robots also featured a preview of Mr. Psycho and Growler, House Robots which were introduced to Robot Wars after the videos were filmed. All four Ultimate Warrior Collection titles could be purchased separately, or as a four-volume boxset. The last set of original releases came in 2004 when vouchers for two DVDs featuring one complete episode each of the Seventh Wars were included with different newspapers: Heat B was included with an issue of The Sun and Heat P was included with an issue of the Daily Express. Both these releases served to promote Fox Kids' acquisition of the rights to broadcast episodes of the Seventh Wars. Two further episodes would be released in 2005 with issues of Jetix Magazine. That same year also saw the release of the First World Championship on DVD. To coincide with the return of the show, Robot Wars: The Brand New BBC Series was released in August 2016, a new DVD and Blu-ray release containing all six episodes of Series 8. A second DVD boxset, Robot Wars - The Complete Compendium 2017, was released on 11 December 2017, containing every episode of Series 9 and 10 (excluding the Robot Wars: World Series specials) as well as both episodes of Robot Wars: Battle of the Stars. Both home media releases were available for pre-order, with some copies arriving before the official release date.

Scandinavian video/DVD releases
In 2003 the company PAN Vision obtained the rights to issue existing Robot Wars videos on VHS and DVD in the Scandinavian region. The DVDs, while retaining the original English audio tracks, also came with Danish, Finnish, Norwegian and Swedish subtitles. The most notable release is perhaps that of The First Great War, which was never released on DVD in the UK. It is uncertain whether these DVDs featured the extras of the original UK releases, though The Constructor's Guide is omitted from the Scandinavian version of The First Great War. Strangely, all releases were billed as part of "The Ultimate Warrior Collection" even though not all of them were treated as such in the UK.

Streaming/Video-on-demand
In addition to the above physical video releases, both UK Series runs have been made available on various internet video-on-demand and streaming services from time to time. For a limited time following their initial and repeat broadcasts on BBC Two, Series 8-10 were available to stream and download from BBC iPlayer, a practice which continues as of January 2023. Episodes included the entire main series as well as the Battle of the Stars and World Series specials. To promote the then-forthcoming Series 8, a short preview, Meet the House Robots, was also released exclusively on iPlayer on 11 July 2016, remaining available until its removal from the service on 29 September. As of 2022, Series 8-10 and Battle of the Stars are officially available from selected VOD services such as YouTube and Amazon Video, in both SD and HD resolutions. It should be noted that for the latter services, Series 9-10 and Battle of the Stars are combined into a single series (listed on Amazon Video as the '2017' series), in line with the Complete Compendium DVD release. Beginning in April 2022, all series of the original UK version (Series 1-7 plus both series of Robot Wars Extreme) were introduced on the international streaming service Mech+. Each episode has been digitally restored and is available to stream in HD. For the first time, the main series was officially dubbed the Classic Series, with both Series 1-7 and Extreme being promoted under the collective title Robot Wars Classics. In early May, Mech+ teased the addition of the rebooted series (later officially branded the Revival Series) to the service. Streaming debuts of the latter commenced in the autumn, with the main Series 8, 9 and 10 premiering on 16, 23 and 30 September respectively. These were followed by the World Series (7 and 14 October) and Battle of the Stars (9 and 16 December) specials, enabling every televised UK Robot Wars episode to be available together for the first time. Other content introduced by Mech+ during this period included the Series 2 spin-off Robot Wars Revealed, the music video for the Android Love single, the previously Club-exclusive History of the Third Wars, and the Ultimate Warrior Collection, the latter renamed simply as the Ultimate Collection. On 7 April 2023, Dutch Robot Wars: Series 1 was introduced to Mech+ with English subtitles, a full widescreen aspect ratio and a similar digital HD remastering treatment to the Classic UK Series. This marked the first time that any part of the Dutch Series was officially available outside of its home market, though the remastered Dutch Series 1 omits commentary from Eric Corton found in the original BNN airings.
During the original series' run, a number of video games were also released for handheld and home consoles as well as PC. The first of these was the Game Boy Color title Robot Wars: Metal Mayhem, released in December 2000 and based on Series 3. The main combat modes in Metal Mayhem worked similarly to console beat-them-up games, with battles being played and won on a 'two out of three' system. A 'Trials' mode containing challenges such as The Gauntlet, Sumo and Skittles was also included along with a 'Robot Workshop' mode, allowing players to build their own robots using a small selection of pre-made components. The game presented a top-down perspective and very simplistic graphics likely due to the Game Boy Color's hardware limitations, with all available weapon types performing identically in terms of damage.
The first home console release was Robot Wars: Arenas of Destruction, initially launched in the UK in November 2001 for the PC and PlayStation 2. This game allowed players to earn credits to compete in international championships across eight different arenas, each with unique settings, hazards and CPZ placements. The player starts with a machine entitled "My First Bot", and can either modify or sell it to buy or build new robots for further progression. Various single- and two-player multiplayer modes are available, making Arenas of Destruction the first Robot Wars video game to feature the latter. This game provided the debut of Terrorhurtz, since it was released before the real robot's televised appearance in Series 5. Nine other real-life competitors in their Series 4 iterations were unlockable in the game, plus a fictional robot named Thor which was the winning entry of a fan competition run in the original Robot Wars Magazine. The latter had no relation to the competitor which later fought between Series 6 and 10.
Also released in November 2001 in the UK, Robot Wars: Advanced Destruction for the Game Boy Advance featured four playable arenas, a 'Robot Workshop', four battle-based game modes and multiplayer for up to four players at a time. One of the more notable features is the 'Robot Mayhem' mode, putting the player's robot against every other robot from the game including the House Robots, making for a 21-way melee. This is the largest number of robots in an arena at any time in any Robot Wars game, and significantly more than any televised battle ever had.
Two versions of the final game, Robot Wars: Extreme Destruction were released by separate developers in late 2002; one for Xbox/PC by Climax Group and the other for the Game Boy Advance by Wharthog Games. The Xbox/PC version retained much of the competitor robots, arenas and game mechanics from Arenas of Destruction, while also introducing Refbot along with new game modes, arenas and customisable robot components. The GBA version featured substantially different physics and gameplay, as well as an unlockable 'Arena Editor' and a different selection of pre-made arenas, modes and playable robots. In the latter version, Refbot is replaced with an immobilisation countdown. All three versions of Extreme Destruction are based around, and feature competitors from, UK Series 5, the first series of Robot Wars Extreme and Season 2 of Robot Wars: Extreme Warriors.
