Chopper was a low octagonal box wedge shaped robot that was shaped almost exactly the same as Spin Doctor from Series 2. Its weapon was a 1000RPM rotary chopper which resembled a helicopter blade, this blade was also meant to block flippers. It was armoured with very thick bulletproof polycarbonate for the top layer, aluminium for the second layer and a steel frame at the base and could travel at 21 mph. Chopper managed to get to the second round of its heat in the New Blood Tournament of Extreme 2 of Robot Wars, before being beaten by future World Champion, Storm 2.
Chopper was originally entered in Series 6, but it failed to qualify.

Extreme 2
- "Who can stopper, the whopper, that is Chopper?"
- — Jonathan Pearce fancying Chopper's chances.
In Round 1, Chopper came up against ICU and Mad Dog. It was in trouble early on since it took damage from Matilda, who tore its yellow spinning blade out of position. It then drove onto the flame pit, but despite seeming immobilized, Mad Dog was the first to be counted out and punished by Sir Killalot and Matilda. Storm 2 in the second round simply rammed Chopper into a wall, and the impact flipped the red and yellow robot upside-down. Chopper was then placed onto the floor flipper which after one unsuccessful try, managed to hurl Chopper through the air. Chopper was then roasted on the flame pit and pitted by Shunt.
