Combatant

Combat Ant (or Combatant) was an antweight that competed in both antweight battles in the two series of Robot Wars Extreme. It was an invertible wedge shaped robot with sticky rubber tyres for more grip and a spinning blade powerful enough to throw another antweight out of the antweight arena, as it did to Pants in Extreme 1. Combat Ant had a different logo in each war, a skull in Extreme 1, and a smiley face in Extreme 2. Combat Ant won the Extreme 1 battle but lost in the final of the second battle to Anty B. Interestingly it faced Anty B in all three of its antweight battles. Peter Waller also entered Millitant in the antweight competition of Extreme 2. Peter mentioned in his interview in Extreme 1 about having a heavyweight with a spike rather than a face spinner - Aeolus.

Extreme 1
Combat Ant began by attacking Pants three times, sending it flying out of the arena on the third hit. Then, it attacked Razzler and was flipped by the floor flipper, and Anty B got trapped underneath it. Next, Combat Ant attacked Anto and tore off one of its wheels, to match the one that had already been torn off. Combat Ant then attacked Razzler and the pair were joined in their fight by Little Nipper, who had just activated the pit. Combant Ant then sent the mobile half of Legion flying across the arena, and it, Little Nipper and the remaining half of Legion spent the rest of the battle fighting each other. Cease was called and Combat Ant was declared the victor.

Extreme 2
Combat Ant was very nearly unable able to attempt to retain its title in the first round of the antweight competition of Extreme 2. It had fallen into the pit in Round 1, but a flip from Hades, who was also in the pit, got it out. It shredded Anty Geddon and, although suffering from drive problems late on and being put into the pit again, was put through along with Anty B.

In the final, it faced Anty B, Lower and Pants. Anty B attacked the reigning champions and sent it spinning across the arena. Lower and Pants both attacked it too. Under constant pressure, a second attack by Anty B immobilised Combat Ant. Anty B would go on to win the judges decision, taking the title from Combat Ant.
