Supernova was a competitor robot from Series 5 to 7 of Robot Wars. It was a low, invertible slight wedge-shaped robot which was pale yellow in colour, later to repainted in a blue and red colour scheme. This newer colour scheme featured the Superman symbol, directly over the word Nova. Its main weapon was a half metre, 2000RPM horizontal spinning disc, capable of ripping robots to pieces, but mostly specialised in knocking loose components inside and causing the robot to break down. Supernova's disc was almost a quarter of the robot's weight.

Supernova's best performance in the UK series was in The Sixth Wars, when it reached the heat final before losing to Spawn Again. The robot lost in the first round in its other two appearances, to seeded machines. Supernova also represented Sri Lanka in the The Third World Championship, reaching the final before losing to Storm 2.
