Tentoumushi

Tentomushi was an American middleweight entered into the middleweight competition of Series 3. It was uniquely armed with a smothering shell resembling a ladybird that trapped other robots, and a circular saw that would then be used to cut into them. However, the main idea of the smothering shell was for the interior foil to cut out radio signals and therefore immobilise the robot, which Tentomushi did to great effect on several occasions.

Tentomushi entered two battles, the middleweight battle, where it drew with A-Kill, and a one off battle during the International League Championship, again against A-Kill, where it represented the USA and won.

Tentomushi also became a successful entrant in Battlebots, where it reached the quarter-finals twice in the lightweight division.

Series 3
Tentomushi began by covering up Hard Cheese, before moving off to attack Ripper's Revenge, covering it up as well and using the saw. Tentomushi's attack had immobilised Hard Cheese. Matilda then came in and chopped off Tentomushi's decorative antenna. The American robot concluded the battle by attacking A-Kill, and was declared joint winner along with the Buckinghamshire machine by the judges.

The two robots would face off again in the International League Championship, in a special called the War of Independance. Tentomushi managed to cut off Shunt's ariel, and was declared the winner of the battle.
