In the Gauntlet, Killertron drove up the see-saw, but halfway across, it turned and drove off the side. Although it escaped, Shunt was blocking the path, so Killertron started attacking Shunt with its axe, piercing the top of the House Robot. While Shunt and Killertron were exchanging blows, Dead Metal came in and cut through the wheelie bin lid. When cease was called Killertron had moved no further. It had achieved 10.3 metres, which saw it finish 3rd and qualify for the next round. {{quote|Killertron, that was tremendous, wasn't it? 10.3 metres, that's a good run|Praise from Jonathan Pearce}} In the Trial, Killertron took part in [[King of the Castle]]. Killertron faced Shunt and Dead Metal, who was substituted for Matilda after this run. {{quote|Richard Broad with Killertron, he's an aircraft fitter by trade, wouldn't want to fly around that ring though!|Jonathan Pearce at the start of the Trial}} [[File:Killertron_trial.jpg|thumb|left|Killertron clings onto Dead Metal as time ticks down]] Shunt had difficulty getting off its ramp, turning just as it was near the top, and got stuck on the side. As Shunt reversed to try again, Dead Metal drove up the ramp without a problem, and drove towards Killertron. As Dead Metal made contact, Killertron fired its axe, and Dead Metal briefly backed off. It turned around and began pushing Killertron backwards. Meanwhile, Shunt was still stuck, having driven up the wrong way again. Killertron turned away from Dead Metal, allowing it to get side on at the House Robot so it was no longer being pushed. It drove into the centre, with Dead Metal alongside it, as Shunt finally got onto the platform. Killertron was caught between Shunt and Dead Metal, who began to push it towards the edge together, but Dead Metal turned away, and Killertron took advantage of by pushing against him towards the edge. As Dead Metal struggled to stay on the platform, Killertron fired its axe on the House Robot, getting caught in him, helping it to hold on as Shunt was pushing it. Killertron's survival put it second on the leaderboard. In the Heat Semi-Final, Killertron earned a devastating win over [[ORAC]]. [[File:Killertron_vs_Orac.jpg|thumb|Killertron roasts ORAC over the Flame Pit]] Killertron drove forwards, then span on the spot, as ORAC closed in. It made contact with ORAC, but because the two met front on, the chisels of ORAC prevented Killertron getting close, and ORAC reversed, so Killertron missed with its axe. ORAC turned around and away from Killertron, Killertron bumped into it as it reversed away, but did not use its axe. ORAC then drove over the arena spikes and its drive chain came off. Unable to move, ORAC was now an easy target for Killertron and the House Robots. Killertron slammed its axe down, but it became stuck in ORAC. With the help of Matilda, Killertron pushed ORAC onto the flame pit and held it there. Killertron managed to pull its axe free and drag ORAC off the flame pit, and smoke was pouring from ORAC. Killertron pushed ORAC over the flame pit and slammed its axe down again and again. Knowing it had won, Killertron reversed away, leaving ORAC smoking by the flame pit as cease was called. {{quote|Look at the holes! Not wholesome fun for ORAC, and they know they're beaten!|Jonathan Pearce}} In the Heat Final, Killertron went up against newcomers [[Technophobic]]. [[File:Killertron_vs_Technophobic.jpg|thumb|left|Killertron pushes Technophobic into the pit]] Killertron moved slowly forwards, whereas its opponent drove straight in. Before the two robots met, Technophobic tried to turn away, but did so too slowly, exposing its side to Killertron. Technophobic avoided an axe blow by reversing away, reversing towards Dead Metal in the PPZ. As Killertron closed in, Technophobic reversed closer to Dead Metal, and Dead Metal came out and briefly got Technophobic in its claws before backing off. Technophobic pushed against the side of Killertron, causing it to miss with its axe blow as it pushed Killertron back. Killertron turned to get side-on at Technophobic, and Technophobic reversed before driving past Killertron. It reversed back at Killertron, but Killertron used its axe, with the spikes on the top, as a lance. The spikes pierced Technophobic, allowing Killertron to push Technophobic to the pit. Killertron had Technophobic dangling over the pit, then backed off, taking two blows to knock it into the pit. Killertron had won and was through to the series Semi-Finals. However, in the post-battle interview, it was revealed that Killertron's axe was not working properly. {{dialogue a-b-a|[[Craig Charles]]|What's wrong with your axe?|Ian Degia|Well, one way it'll work, the other way it won't! I think it's out of alignment.|Well, you can modify it for the next fight!|Post-battle interview}} This problem was fixed for the Semi-Finals. {{quote|I think we've got a good chance, our pick-axe is so sharp now, it'll go through anything! ... I think we can beat everyone!|Confidence from Richard Broad before the Gauntlet}} [[File:Killertronsfgauntlet.jpg|thumb|Killertron runs the Gauntlet]] In the Gauntlet stage, Killertron started slowly, briefly stopping when the spikes came up. It went over the see-saw, but when coming off, it drove into the fence, and Shunt pinned it against the wall. Shunt let it go and Killertron continued, only to be blocked again, getting caught between a spike on the fence and Matilda lifting it up. Shunt axed Killertron, Matilda let Killertron go, and Killertron drove free of the spike. Instead of completing the Gauntlet straight away, it turned to attack the House Robots. It fired its axe at Matilda, missing, but when Shunt started pushing, and Matilda brought its chainsaw down, Killertron broke off the attack, reversing into the endzone. Killertron had completed the Gauntlet on its third time doing it, finishing second. {{quote|That's a good run, well done Richard Broad! Good steering.|Jonathan Pearce}} Killertron was through to the Trial stage, which was [[Pinball]]. [[File:Killertronpinball.jpg|thumb|left|Killertron in the trial]] It was the last to run, only needing more than 65 points to go through. It slowly drove to the wall of bricks, knocked some of them over, but then appeared to stop. Sir Killalot rolled the sphere into it, and Killertron started moving again. It drove around the sphere, knocking over more of the bricks, then knocking over some barrels. Sir Killalot came in and cornered Killertron, lifting it up and pinching its base, as Killertron vainly fired the axe to fight him off. Killertron drove away after being pinched, heading to the other brick wall and knocking some of them over, but time ran out. Killertron was lifted up as cease was called. Having scored 135 points, Killertron finished second and was through to the Arena stage. In the Arena stage of the Semi Finals, Killertron went up against newcomers [[Behemoth]]. [[File:Behemoth_vs_killertron.JPG|thumb|Killertron smashes the eyes of Behemoth]] Killertron tried to avoid Behemoth's scoop, but Behemoth got under it. It flipped, but because of the scoops size, it only lifted Killertron slightly. Killertron missed an axe blow at the same time. Killertron got side-on at Behemoth, landing an axe blow on the top which broke an armour panel. Killertron backed off for another attack, but as Behemoth came in, it exposed its side to its opponent. However, the scoop failed to fire, so Killertron got side-on at Behemoth again, axing it over and over again, puncturing the top. Behemoth appeared to stop moving, so Killertron fired its axe again, and with the axe caught in the top of its opponents, pulled backwards to pull Behemoth onto its side after several attempts. It pushed Behemoth back on its wheels when it got its axe free, but Behemoth was immobile, so Killertron had won, and was through to the Grand Final. {{dialogue a-b|Philippa Forrester|Who are you most scared of?|Ian Degia|Erm, no one! We're Killertron, well take anything that comes to us, and that's it!|Interview at the start of the Grand Final}} In the Grand Final eliminator, Killertron found itself facing [[Panic Attack]], the only remaining newcomer. {{quote|Killertron, less reliable than Panic Attack, it's quicker certainly, and the pickaxe is its main strength. They've lightened the flywheel that counter-balances the pick-axe, really is deadly, one of the most severe weapons in the whole of Robot Wars. Is is durable enough when on the defence against Panic Attack? Attacking, it can meat terrible damage out. It's got enough strength to push and shove, it's well controlled always, this is my tip to win. I wonder if it can survive when under pressure. Killertron, will it spin a victory jig?|Jonathan Pearce whilst reviewing clips of Killertron's run to the final}} Before the battle, Richard Broad revealed that the pick-axe had been modified. {{quote|Panic Attack immediately on the attack...and I think that’s caused problems to Killertron immediately!|Jonathan Pearce}} [[File:Panic_Attack_vs_Killertron.JPG|thumb|left|Panic Attack darts away from the immobile Killertron]] Killertron slowly moved forwards, and Panic Attack charged in, pushing Killertron until it was just outside the PPZ. Panic Attack reversed, but Killertron had stopped moving. Dead Metal briefly gripped Killertron with its claws, backing off as Panic Attack came in again. Dead Metal and Sir Killalot rammed Killertron, and Sir Killalot used its lance to turn Killertron over. {{quote|Killalot with that deadly lance to turn it up on its side and over! And all the fears about Killertron have come true! And it’s Panic Attack the surprise package here.|Jonathan Pearce}} [[File:Killertron_killalot.JPG|thumb|Sir Killalot bathes Killertron in fire]] Sir Killalot continued to do damage, pinching into the side, then carrying it with its lance to the flame pit and holding it over the flames. Meanwhile, Panic Attack was fighting Shunt and Sergeant Bash, and "Cease" was called when Panic Attack pushed Sergeant Bash into the pit, falling in itself. After the battle, it was revealed that the pin for the main drive had fallen out on Panic Attack's initial charge, leaving the robot immobile. In the Play-Off for third place, Killertron met Roadblock in a rematch from Series 1. [[File:Roadblock_killertron_house_robots.JPG|thumb|left|Killertron and Roadblock, boxed in by five House Robots]] Roadblock and Killertron moved towards each other, with Roadblock's wedge again managing to push beneath Killertron. Roadblock began to push Killertron towards the PPZ, and Killertron's axe came crashing down, but was deflected by the hard armour of Roadblock. Roadblock circled around, trying to lever Killertron on its back, but Killertron managed to escape. Roadblock pushed Killertron into the PPZ, and Killertron's axe was again unable to strike. Roadblock cut into Killertron with its circular saw. Matilda then propped Killertron up on her tusks, but it was released. Roadblock continued guiding Killertron forward, and repeated axe blows had bent Killertron's axe. Roadblock pushed Killertron into the Sentinel and used its saw to inflict damage. [[File:Killertron_vs_roadblock.JPG|thumb|Roadblock pits Killertron]] Killertron escaped The Sentinel, but became stuck between Sir Killalot and Dead Metal. Roadblock scooped up Killertron and tried to get away from the House Robots, but although its opponent escaped, Roadblock was pinned down by Sir Killalot. Roadblock shouldered out past Dead Metal, and it and Killertron became trapped beneath the pendulum and four of the six house robots present. Sir Killalot joined the other four, and Dead Metal dragged Killertron out of the PPZ. Roadblock intercepted and pushed Killertron straight into the pit. {{quote|We had a few control problems there, it was on auto-pilot and the axe bent...|Richard Broad after the fight}} Loading editor Below are some commonly used wiki markup codes.
