Dorkus fighting Chaos 2 at the Robot Mania Event at Brighton 2001
Dorkus uses a large, rounded design, driven by two wheels. It was armed with horizontal crushers, which Jason Marston described as similar to Kan-Opener, though was different in operation as the claws were mechanically powered, rather than using hydraulics[1]. The back of the robot also featured a static saw.
