In addition to her roles in the main series, Matilda also regularly appeared in numerous side competitions, notably Robotic Soccer in Series 3 and both the Series 3 and 4 Pinball tournaments. These, along with a complete rebuild for Series 8- 10, enabled her to become one of the more powerful and destructive House Robots in later appearances. After taking severe damage from Razer at the end of the Series 4 Southern Annihilator, Matilda received upgrades to her pneumatic tusks, while her original chainsaw was replaced in most cases with a vertical flywheel. Present in every series - including the Revival Series and all international versions - she was initially infamous for her unreliability and susceptibility to getting attacked by competitor robots. Matilda (occasionally nicknamed Tildy and also known as The Matriarch of Mayhem, The Mistress of Mischief, The Sister of Slice and Dice and The Grandmother of Grinding Metal) was one of the original four House Robots from the UK TV game show Robot Wars. " This is no "Waltzing Matilda", but if Matilda dances with you, it's a dance of death! Her tusks can rip and pneumatically flip, it's a breeze for 'Tildy'! Her spinning rear flywheel is twenty-seven kilos in weight, the matriarch of mayhem, the mistress of mischief, Matilda!" - Jonathan Pearce introduces Matilda in Series 5
