- "A big, black and orange bee on a wedge base with a rotating drill weapon, 750 watt 24V power, but at only 71 kilos, it's the lightest in the heat and could be badly stung!"
- — Jonathan Pearce on Bee-Capitator
Bee-Capitator was a roughly wedge shaped robot, designed to resemble a bee that had a drill spike on its front which was for 'stinging' opponents. It was also very light for a heavyweight. It entered Series 5 of Robot Wars, and lost its only battle to Firestorm 3. Its name was a pun on decapitator.

Bee-Capitator is flipped as Firestorm's flipper is wrecked by Matilda
Bee-Capitator went into this fight almost 30kg the lighter, and as the overwhelming underdogs. It did little to shake off this tag as Firestorm 3 avoided the drill and flipped it over, immobilising it. Firestorm however, had its flipper buckled out of position by Matilda's flywheel. Bee-Capitator was roasted and pitted by Sir Killalot.
