Apocalypse

"The strength of an elephant!"

- Robot Wars: The Official Handbook

Apocalypse was a heavyweight robot which competed in Series 10 of Robot Wars. It was entered by Team Asgard, who had previously won the pilot episode in 2016 with Turbulence.

Design
Apocalypse used a low box-shaped design, with a steep front wedge, armed in HARDOX and titanium. It used a weapon system similar to that of Splinter, as it wielded two horizontal axes, designed to hold robots in place for its strongest weapon, its overhead axe, to strike. The axe could alternatively be used as a self-righting mechanism. Apocalypse was four-wheel driven, with its wheels being slightly exposed on top, and used powerful Ampflow A28-A400 24V motors. Its horizontal grabbers were a new addition to the robot for television, having been primarily an axebot on the live circuit.

Series 10
Apocalypse competed in Episode 1.

Outside Robot Wars
Team Captain Ed Wallace has also fought on the live event circuit with a few featherweights, some of which had multiple versions with the same name. They are listed below:


 * C.B.F.: While it is unknown what the first version looked like, all four versions were completely different machines. The second version was a pointed triangular wedge-shaped robot, the third version was a two-wheel drive, wedged box-shaped robot with two ramming spikes, and the fourth version was a four-wheeled pushing robot.
 * DB5: A series of four-wheel driven box-shaped robots, some armed with spinning drums or egg beaters.
 * Secret Weapon: A two-wheel driven, octagonal-shaped featherweight with a front vertical spinning drum.
 * DB10: The successor to DB5, with a powerful vertical spinning disc.
 * Asgard: A featherweight armed with a pneumatic axe and with a strong resemblance to heavyweight Thor.
