Cyclone (Extreme Warriors)

Cyclone (or Cyclone-Raptor) was a competitior robot that fought in both seasons of Robot Wars: Extreme Warriors. Its weapon was a large vertical spinning disc quite similar to that of 259 and Nightmare from Battlebots. It was the first heavyweight competitor robot in the history of Robot Wars to ever use a spinning weapon to actually "spin" an opponent (Hyperactive) out of the arena (House Robot Matilda, UK competitior X-Terminator and antweight Combat Ant the only other robots to do so). Despite failing to make it past the first round of both championships it fought in, Cyclone managed to win the Annihilator in the second season.

When Cyclone was too badly damaged after the first Championship, driver Chris Harriman fought with a loaner robot called Tut Tut which fought in the House Robot Rebellion and the Tag Team Terror competition alongside Drillzilla. The team won the Tag Team, but ended the Rebellion in a draw despite immobilizing Shunt. Team Raptor also fought with Rippa Raptor in Season 1, notably losing in the annihilator to Drillzilla.

Season 1
Cyclone was attacked during the converging robots, managing to slam its blade into the side of Run Away, before it used its blades on Cyclone. Panzer Mk 2 charged it into the side wall, stopping the blade. General Chompsalot also attacked, stopping the blade of Cyclone with its large jaws. "Cyclone with that big wheel looks like a wheel of misfortune"

- Stefan Frank as Cyclone breaks down

Cyclone was not seen again in the battle and was eliminated due to the damage done to it, which proved to be irrepareable, and was therefore unable to continue participating in Season 1.

Season 2
Cyclone tried to hit Propophobia, but something came out with the disc, and Cyclone appeared to be static. Replays showed it was a safety switch, and Cyclone was counted out, and pitted by Dead Metal.
