Ceros

"I like the look of this one"

- Jonathan Pearce

Ceros was a competitor from the seventh series of Robot Wars. It was a titanium box-shaped robot with a large, fully-exposed flipping arm as its main weapon. The two-wheeled drive machine received its name because it was vaguely based on a rhinoceros. Ceros' design was based on that of back to back Battlebots superheavyweight champion Toro. Ceros reached the Heat Final of its only competitive series, even managing to flip Shunt around the arena, but was eventually beaten after an edge-of-the-pit encounter with St. Agro.

Series 7
Ceros met Scaptosaur, Metalis and the number 15 seed Ming Dienasty in the first round. Charging into the centre of the arena, it threw Ming Dienasty into the air, landing it flat on its back. As Ming attempted to self-right, Ceros flipped Metalis from behind. Metalis was unable to self-right and was counted out, with Ceros continuing to attack it. Ceros flipped Metalis back onto its wheels, who attempted to re-enter the battle, to no avail. Ceros joined Scraptosaur in the attack on the seeded Ming Dienasty, who fell out of the competition on the judges decision. In the second round, Revolution 3 started much quicker, activating the pit. Ceros tried unsuccessfully to flip Revolution 3, but suddenly Revolution 3 stopped moving. Ceros flipped Revolution 3 over, before repeating the process until Revolution was upside down in the CPZ, at Shunt's mercy. Ceros tried to flip Bash, before fighting Shunt in the centre of the arena, flipping it onto its side. "Built like a rhinoceros, strong as a rhino....quick as a....a leopard out there!"

Ceros and Bash grappled near the pit, with Ceros managing to outpush Sergeant Bash. This tussle evidently knocked something out in the Sergeant that caused it to break down later, whilst Bash held Ceros over the pit, despite the recently righted Shunt's attempts to pit the small machine. Ceros and St. Agro met in the heat final, and Ceros tried to flip St. Agro, but flipped itself over by accident. Refbot righted it, and Ceros regained its footing by flipping the invertible St. Agro. St. Agro flipped Ceros again, then activated the pit. Ceros became very vulnerable as it drove near the pit. After nearly pitting St. Agro, Ceros was flipped up against the arena wall, and ran out of gas. Ceros was counted out. Matilda ran into Ceros and flipped it out with the flywheel, tearing off chunks of the bottom of Ceros in the process.
