Sabretooth

"Basically they got a moped, cut it up, wielded lots of bits of metal to it, strapped on some motors and here it is!"

- Jonathan Pearce

Sabre Tooth was a competitor in Series 5 and 6 of Robot Wars. It was originally similar in shape to Spikasaurus, with a large shredding weapon that spun at 2400 RPM, and a rollcage to right itself when flipped. In Series 6, it was redesigned and added a large spinning disc weapon. Unfortunately for Sabre Tooth, its axle for the 13 inch cutting disc weapon broke during the qualifiers, so the team was forced to remove it. The old axle was wielded back together, but it would no longer hold up the power of the disc, so the team instead equipped a large tire for extra speed and mobility, giving Sabre Tooth 12-horsepower push, allowing it to reach high speeds of 70 MPH. This didn't help against the weaponry of Terrorhurtz, and Sabre Tooth was eliminated in the first round. It also failed to enter Series 7, being ripped apart in the qualifier by Supernova.

Series 5
Sabre Tooth fought Evolution in round 1, where it moved forward and received a blow from Evolution's turret weapon. Evolution then rammed Sabre Tooth and stopped its weapon. Suddenly, both robots ground to a halt. Sergeant Bash and Sir Killalot both closed in to attack Evolution, but both received yellow cards. Sabre Tooth came back to life and rammed Evolution, and time ran out. As a direct result, Evolution had won the judges decision and proceeded through, eliminating Sabre Tooth.



Series 6
Sabre Tooth played very little part in its battle, it ran into Sergeant Bash and then Terrorhurtz, who landed several powerful axe blows on it. It was shoved into the side wall, with several pieces of armour buckled and broken. Sabre Tooth was left immobile and thrown by the floor flipper.
