Onslaught

Onslaught was a robot with a front scoop and 2 spikes at the back. The body was built from an old R/C car, so Onslaught had a car-like steering system, and was small in comparison to most heavyweights. The scoop was redesigned in series 4 with a more shovel-like appearance. A self-righting mechanism was also added. Onslaught entered in series 2, 3, and 5. A last-minute breakdown forced it to forfeit its spot in the main competition of series 4, but it still participated in that year's sumo, where it came fourth. It also competed in the Southern Annihilator, coming second overall.

Series 3
Onslaught's shovel was well designed for dealing with Armour Geddon, its first opponent. It didn't take long for Onslaught to pit the boulder-like machine. It met Beast of Bodmin in the second round (a rematch from the Second Wars where Onslaught had failed to move.) Beast of Bodmin's size made it almost impossible for Onslaught to push it, lift it or to really do anything to it. Onslaught eventually drove up Beast of Bodmin's wedge front and became beached on its back without a working self righting mechanism. Beast of Bodmin finished the round by winking to the camera whilst Dead Metal cut into Onslaught's chassis.

Series 4
Onslaught was originally due to fight against the 18th seeded Cerberus and newcomers Terror Bull in the last heat of this series but unfortunately broke down at the last minute and V-Max took their place.

However Onslaught still competed in the Sumo Basho competition where it managed to dart around Shunt on the basho arena before driving off by mistake. But Onslaught had stayed on for 18 seconds which put it in the lead until X-Terminator 2 and Behemoth survived the full minute and Panic Attack managed to stay on the basho arena longer than Shunt.

Onslaught also competed in the Southern Annihilator, proving to be a strong competitor despite its size, as well as putting its new srimech to good use several times. It helped to see off Vercingetorix, Spawn of Scutter, Behemoth and Attila the Drum before being drawn up against Razer. Despite a valient effort, Onslaught lost traction after one of its tyres peeled off. It was then flipped onto its side by Matilda, where it couldn't self-right, before being pitted by Dead Metal.

Series 5
Onslaught did its best to shove around the larger newcomers Tetanus, but when it reached the arena wall, Tetanus lifted and pushed Onslaught onto its back. Tetanus pushed Onslaught into the wall just as Onslaught tried to self-right, which caused Onslaught to fall back on its back. Tetanus continued to prevent Onslaught from self-righting. However, as Onslaught stopped moving, Tetanus also broke down. The judges, however, awarded the win to Tetanus.
