The Morgue

Mega Morg was a series of robots that competed across three UK series and two series of Extreme. The first incarnation, known as The Morgue, competed in Series 4, making the heat final. It was renamed Mega Morg for the first series of Extreme. It was downsized and renamed Mini Morg in Series 5 and Extreme 2, before being renamed Mega Morg for Series 7. Whatever the size, the robots generally shared the same basic design; a yellow barrel shape, enabling it to roll over should it get flipped over. The main weapon was a lifting spike which was later modified into a lifting scoop, whilst an axe, then later a spinning disc, was added after the first Extreme.

Series 4
The Morgue made their first appearance in this war against Firestorm 2 and newcomers Scar. The battle started with Firestorm 2 charging straight at Scar and managing to flip Scar onto its side against the arena wall but Scar managed to get away, then Firestorm turned its attention to The Morgue by managing to slide underneath it and flip it onto its side against the arena wall and The Morgue couldn't self right but was helped out by Killalot in being turned back up the right way, all three robots continued charging at each other until cease was called and the judges decided that The Morgue had been the less aggressive out of the three robots and were eliminated. However, Scar had suffered major technical problems meaning that The Morgue was re-enstated in their place and met Ming 2 in the second round. The Morgue wasted little time and charged side on to Ming 2 and managed to avoid being flipped and eventually immobilized Ming 2 and advanced to the heat final where they met Firestorm 2 again. Firestorm attempted a couple of times to softly flip The Morgue so its shape would not help it self-right, but without success. Firestorm flipped The Morgue into Matilda, and flipped it again, however the Welsh machine self-righted both times time due to its shape. Firestorm pushed Morgue into the wall, but again did not successfully turn it over. The Morgue came onto the attack, pushing Firestorm around and getting underneath the Durham competitor. As the pit descended, Firestorm pushed Morgue across it, getting it wedged on the open pit, however Firestorm drove in. The team of the Morgue celebrated, thinking that they were victorious, however the judges awarded the win to Firestorm 2 based on the battle up until that point.
