Clawed Hopper

Clawed Hopper was a walker robot that competed in Series 4-5. It was yellow in Series 4 and green in Series 5, and its hopping legs were black frames that literally hopped. The entire body was mounted on a spinning motor, allowing Clawed Hopper to turn swiftly with no turning circle. Its main weapon was a set of front spiked blades, whilst two drums were added to the sides in Series 5, along with a rollcage. Its mobility was not great, and in its first appearance, Bigger Brother flipped it over. It was the first heavyweight walker robot to ever win a battle in the main competition, before losing to the number 2 seed Pussycat in the second round.

Series 4
Clawed Hopper took a side-on attack from Bigger Brother, and nearly toppled over. Clawed Hopper landed on its feet and went after Hammer and Tong, getting under it but not causing any damage. Bigger Brother flipped Clawed Hopper onto its side, but Clawed Hopper again fell back onto its feet, However, on its third attempt, Bigger Brother successfully flipped Clawed Hopper onto its back, taking Clawed Hopper out of the competition.

Series 5
Despite its slow, sluggish movement, a break down from Twister saw Clawed Hopper pit the former Heat Finalists and progress through - for the first time a walker was through to the second round. However, in round 2 it stood very little chance, fighting the number two seed. Despite Clawed Hopper trying its best, Pussycat buried its blade into Clawed Hopper's spinning flail, which eventually broke off. Clawed Hopper was falling to pieces when cease was called. Pussycat was the likely winner.
