- "A million marks for effort."
- — Jonathan Pearce on Mighty Mouse's couragous clash with Thermidor 2 in Series 7.
Mighty Mouse was a competitor from the last two series of Robot Wars. It was created with speed and armour in mind, and thus was significantly smaller (and formally lighter) than many of the other robots seen in the series. It had a U-shaped metal bar on top that rolled the robot back onto its wheels whenever it got flipped over, making it virtually impossible for Mighty Mouse to be immobilized that way. Its primary weapon was a set of ramming spikes at the front. For Series 7, a pair of spinning discs were added to the back, as a result of the new moving weapon rules, which also affected Stinger and Storm 2. Despite all the odds seemingly being stacked against it, Mighty Mouse made the Heat Final of Series 7, losing to Thermidor 2 after a brave and valiant effort.
Mighty Mouse was created by Team Velocirippa, from the wrecked shell of the Velocirippa after the filming of Series 5 and Extreme 1, where it was broken apart by Disc-O-Inferno. However, a new Velocirippa was created, and the two robots were partners in the Tag Team Terror competition in Extreme Series 2.
Like many Robot Wars competitors the Mighty Mouse team entered Techno Games. The team entered an unchanged Mighty Mouse in the football tournament and the assault course. In the football it was teamed with Bugs Buggy (Hydra), rather than Velocirippa, who entered alongide another robot. Having broken the world record along the way, it got to the final of the assault course but lost to Typhoon Rover.

[edit] Series 6
In Series 6 Mighty Mouse had a spring-loaded flail on the rear instead of the Flywheel of Series 7. It survived its first round after doing absolutely nothing whilst Chaos 2 flipped Destructosaur over and flipped Iron Awe 2 out of the arena. In the second round against Dantomkia, it ran away until getting wedged on the side wall. Refbot pulled it free and it was then flipped onto its side. After this, it ran over to the arena wall and was flipped out by Dantomkia.
[edit] Extreme 2
After Velocirippa broke down, Mighty Mouse rushed out to tag. However, it was targeted by Barbaric Response, who flipped it around the arena. Hydra then slammed Mighty Mouse into the side wall. Mighty Mouse tried to escape the two opponents, but failed.

Hydra then slammed the helpless Mighty Mouse into the pit release, before shunting it down the pit for the win.
