- "It's also made of titanium and therefore, indestructible."
- — Anthony Pritchard before the Extreme 1 fight
Anty B was an antweight robot that competed in both antweight competitions in the two series of Robot Wars Extreme. It was a miniature version of its team's heavyweight machine Behemoth with a lifting scoop that was claimed to be powerful enough to lift 150g and to throw another antweight out of the antweight arena, but never proved it. Anty B won the Extreme Series 2 competition but lost in Extreme Series 1 to Combat Ant after getting stuck under the antweight arena's floor flipper.
Anty B had been upgraded into Anty B Evo, showing more of a resemblance to Behemoth, complete with side self-righting arms. This antweight is still fighting competitively today. The version in Extreme series 2 was in fact the third version (Evo 3) with Evo 2 competing just in live tournaments.
Robot History
Extreme 1
In the Antweight melee of Extreme Series 1, Anty B was placed up against Pants, Legion, Combat Ant, Razzler, Anto and Little Nipper. Anty B began the battle strongly by flipping half of Legion, before clashing with Anto. Then, it attacked Razzler, pinning it up to the arena side wall, as Pants was tossed out of the arena by Combat Ant's spinning blade weapon. Then, as Anty B was making its way across the arena, the arena floor flipper flipped Combat Ant and Anty B fell down the hole as the flipper descended and got stuck underneath the flipper, unable to get back up, eliminating it from the melee.
Extreme 2
In the heats, Anty B was very impressive. It began by flipping Hades and then attacking Combat Ant and Anty Geddon. Then it had a short duel with Chroma, eventually failing to throw it out of the arena and so it left it on its side. It then fought Combat Ant until the end of the battle, putting the reigning champions into the pit for the second time in the match.
In the final, along with Combat Ant, Anty B faced Lower and Pants. It began by lifting up Combat Ant, which spun across the arena. Then, it avoided the action while Combat Ant was ganged up on by Pants and Lower. Anty B then came into the action and was thrown across the arena by Combat Ant, but the hit immobilised the defending champion. Pants was flipped by Anty B, who then flipped Lower over lots of times and nearly got it out of the arena. It then went for Pants, who became immobilised on the floor flipper. By this time, Lower had stopped moving, so Anty B became the antweight champion.
