Gi-Ant-O

Gi-Ant-O was the featherweight of Team Terrafonics. It competed in the featherweight competitions of Extreme 2 and Series 7 of Robot Wars. Its name was a misnomer, as it was always very small for its weight class. In Extreme 2, the real Gi-Ant-O broke down at the last minute and had to be replaced with a tiny 3kg sumobot that had no weapons. In Series 7, it very much resembled the legendary American middleweight Hazard, with a small wedge at the front and a spinning blade on the top. Neither version progressed past the first round.

Extreme 2
"We avoided Sir K for 4 mins before he finally got me"

- Craig Danby on what happened to Gi-Ant-O after it was counted out.

In Extreme 2, Gi-Ant-O was up against Neoteric, A.M.C.V., Eddy Evolution, Katnip, Bernard and Argh! in the heats. The tiny sumobot was inneffective against much larger competitors, and one blow from much larger walker Neoteric's disc knocked it out. After being counted out, it returned to life and was able to avoid Sir Killalot for four minutes before the house robot grabbed the 3kg machine and dropped it over the arena side wall, eliminating it from the competition.

Series 7
In the final heat of the competition, Gi-Ant-O faced Rampage 2, Whipper and Micro-Mute. At the beginning, while Rampage 2 and Whipper clashed together and Micro-Mute fell foul of Sir Killalot, Gi-Ant-O was largely anonymous. It appeared to have lost drive to one side almost immediately, as it spend practically the entire match driving around in circles. Then, the sparring Rampage and Whipper drove near Gi-Ant-O, and it knocked out the safety link of Whipper and disabled the drive on one side of Rampage 2. Despite this, Gi-Ant-O was still counted out by Refbot due to it not being fully mobile. As Micro-Mute had already been counted out and pitted, cease was called.
