Demon Duck was a tracked super heavyweight robot that competed in Series 2 of Robot Wars. It fought exclusively in the Super Heavyweight Championship (also known as the Super Showdown), but lost to Kick Robut in the final.

Design[]

Demon Duck was a large, invertible tracked robot painted yellow and orange with boggle eyes that resembled a duck. Its weapon was a large, 900mm-wide front scoop designed to push and ram opponents around the arena, while its tracks were made out of high-tensile steel and its eyes could glow red in the dark. Demon Duck weighed 155.6kg, some 1.6 kilos over the super heavyweight limit, but was still permitted to compete regardless. For the Super Showdown final, the message 'Back Again' was spray-painted on Demon Duck's front wedge, along with a black cross sticker resembling a small bandage. While durable and invertible, Demon Duck's weapon, armour and tracks were susceptible to damage, as demonstrated during its qualifier battle where it lost its front scoop and one of the tracks.

Demon Duck competed exclusively in the Super Heavyweight Championship, parts of which were broadcast in The Grudge Matches special. In its qualifier, which was shown as a partial recap, it fought Soc'em and Bottweiler, winning the battle despite losing its entire front scoop, one of its tracks, and being turned on its side after sustaining heavy damage from Sir Killalot.

In the Super Showdown itself, Demon Duck faced Kick Robut, Siren and Berserk. It started aggressively, moving towards Siren before ramming Kick Robut into the PPZ as Berserk concentrated on attacking Shunt. Demon Duck stayed out of the action from then on, as Berserk was picked up and carried to the Flame Pit by Sir Killalot, before bumping into Siren and circling round the middle of the arena. After driving over the arena spikes, it reversed into the PPZ and was attacked by Dead Metal, becoming immobilised after breaking down close to the arena wall. 'Cease' was called, and Demon Duck lost the battle - and the Super Heavyweight Championship - to Kick Robut.

Trivia[]

  • At 155.6kg, Demon Duck was the heaviest non-Walkerbot competitor robot to fight in a full battle of the televised show. Roter Ochse, another Super Heavyweight in the same series, is known to have been even heavier, but its battle was not fully televised.
  • In both Robot Wars: The Official Robot Guide and the Series 2 Results in Robot Wars: The Ultimate Guide, Demon Duck is erroneously listed as "Demon".
