Rippa Raptor

Rippa Raptor was a robot from the first season of Robot Wars: Extreme Warriors entered by Team Raptor. It had an array of spinners, and was well controlled. It had little armour, and allowed Dead Metal to immobilize it in the first round of the US Championship. However, it did finish as runner-up in the annihilator. The team also entered with Cyclone and drove the loanerbot Tut Tut. They also entered Battlebots with Gamma Raptor and Pack Raptors, with a large amount of success.

Season 1
"This is the most carnivorous robot we've brought to Robot Wars."

- The team, explaining their robot to Rebecca Grant.

In round one of the US Championship, the Raptor was part of a six-way melee. It started by driving into the wall, allowing Manta to push it into Dead Metal. Dead Metal produced some brilliant sparks. Dead Metal was cautioned by Refbot, but Rippa Raptor was barely moving. Manta won this battle.

Rippa Raptor was also involved in the annihilator. In round 1, it started by pushing Conquering Clown, and being pushed by Red Virus in return. Red Virus pushed Rippa Raptor into Sir Killalot's CPZ, but Rippa Raptor escaped. There was a pile-up involving five of the robots in Matilda's CPZ. The six then pushed each other around the arena, and Skullmania eventually became immobile. In round 2, The clown pushed Red Virus into Unibite who attacked Rippa Raptor. All five robots encircled each other, and then Unibite broke down and was eliminated. In round 3, Rippa Raptor tried to attack Drillzilla, who then pushed the clown around the arena, immobilizing it on the flames. In the last three, Rippa Raptor was pushed by Red Virus, but Drillzilla pushed them both into Dead Metal. The two robots were seperated by Refbot, but both lost drive on one side. Drillzilla pushed the Red Virus into the house robots and then Red Virus was counted out on the floor flipper. Rippa Raptor was in the final, against Drillzilla, who pushed it straight into the wall, and then into Sgt Bash. Rippa Raptor stopped moving, and was placed on the flames, and then the floor flipper.
