Rip

Rip was a featherweight robot that competed the Seventh Wars Featherweight Championship. It was a miniature version of the same team's robot Ripper that competed in the heavyweight category. Rip was actually the team's second featherweight, as they had previously competed in Extreme 2 with the walkerbot Neoteric.

Like Ripper, Rip was rebuilt after Robot Wars, renamed Rip Evo, and still competes in the featherweight circuit today. Like Rip, Rip Evo was built to resemble a miniature version of the team's main heavyweight (Ripper Evo), but Rip Evo was repainted silver and was renamed Shockwave 2 in 2012. Rip has come out of retirement and is now fighting again under the name Rip-Off.

Series 7
Rip looked extremely promising in its first battle. It began by flipping Mini Maul, then G2 and Prince of Awe. It then flipped Prince of Awe again, and then G2 twice more. It then clashed with Cygnus and was flipped by Prince of Awe. It then appeared to be trying to attack Mr Psycho, who picked up the featherweight, damaging part of its flipper, and dropped it. It then shoved Prince of Awe around and also attacked Kitty, while G2's batteries fell out. Rip was put through to the final along with Prince of Awe by the judges.

In the final, Rip flipped Rampage 2 over at the beginning, before tring to flip but instead being flipped by Whipper. Next, Prince of Awe flipped Rip, but it righted itself, before flipping Bernard and Whipper at the same time. Rip then flipped Bernard onto the arena side wall. Rip then got Bernard off the wall and almost pitted it, instead shoving it into the CPZ. It returned to the action and Prince of Awe flipped it again. For some reason, Rip then drove into the pit, and was the first of the finalists to be eliminated.
