- "It's got no weapons, no armour, plus - it can't be detected by radar."
- — Mike Tibbs on Anarachnid
Anarachnid was a walkerbot that was involved in a walker battle in Series 3 of Robot Wars. It drew that fight with Mammoth, despite being destroyed by Shunt. It achieved a unique feat of never winning or losing a battle. It might as well have not shown up.
Robot History
Series 3
Anarachnid was placed up against Mammoth in an exhibition battle, but the two robots were very slow to approach each other, with Mammoth appearing to have mobility problems. Anarachnid eventually reached Mammoth and tried to push it, bending one of its own stalk eyes in the process. Dead Metal grabbed hold of Anarachnid and started cutting into it, before Shunt destroyed its legs and armour. Mammoth was also attacked by the house robots, so the fight finished as a draw. This was Anarachnid's only appearance in the wars.

Trivia
- Anarachnid is debatably the slowest robot in the entire history of Robot Wars. Although its top speed was never revealed, it took over 40 seconds for Anarachnid to move halfway across the arena and make contact with Mammoth.
