TR2

Not to be confused with Series 3 competitor, T2

TR2, standing for Toon Raider 2, is a heavyweight robot, armed with a full-pressure flipper. Although the team did not participate in the original run of Robot Wars, TR2 made its debut in the 2016 series of Robot Wars. Prior to this, TR2 has seen much success at Robot Wars Live Events, and other live robotic events, eventually earning the title of UK robotic champion in 2015.

The robot's flipper is highly powerful, capable of flipping a one tonne car, and also features a static axe on the rear, allowing TR2 to attack from either side using the flipper, as well as being the robot's self-righting mechanism. Its armour consists of 3.2mm of wear resistant steel, with 20mm of High Density Polyethylene panels.

TR2 is the successor to Toon Raider, which has also participated in Robot Wars Live Events, though has had no involvement with the TV show. TR2 was originally built by John Findlay of Team Roaming Robots.
