Spartacus

"A gladiator, but thrown to the lions here..."

- Jonathan Pearce

Spartacus was a pincer robot with a thick gladiator helmet to act as top armour, with the two sided pincer able to produce a one tonne for each point. It entered the first season of Robot Wars: Extreme Warriors, losing in the first round to Panzer Mk 2. The team later entered Spartacus 2 in The Third World Championship, easily defeating fellow US robot Flippa to qualify for the first round, in which it lost to Supernova.

UK Series 7
Flippa did not move at all in the qualifier, and Spartacus 2 simply seized the Oregon machine, shoved it around the arena and down the pit.

Spartacus was drawn against Hard and Supernova in the first round. At first, Spartacus and Hard appeared to be ganging up on Supernova. Supernova hit both of them with its spinning disc, immobilising Hard and damaging Spartacus' body. Supernova hit Spartacus again, which not only broke the drive of Spartacus on one side, but also appeared to knock Supernova out. Refbot counted out Hard, and then started to count Supernova out, which would have allowed Spartacus through. However, the Sri Lankan machine suddenly started moving again. Supernova hit the limping Spartacus again, and Refbot counted it out instead. Near the end of the fight, Spartacus clipped Supernova again, which caused its armour to come off completely. Dead Metal attacked the beaten American machine.
