'''Manic Mutant''' was the the original machine of The Manic Mutants, fighting in Series 3 of ''[[Robot Wars]]''. It was a box-shaped robot with lifting prongs at the front which could lift 100kg, and at the rear a spinning disc with spikes on the face. The robot was clad in stainless steel armour and ran four-wheel drive, with most of its interiors coming from a forklift. The £265 robot took a month to build. It was defeated by [[Gravedigger]] in its only fight. The Manic Mutants also entered with [[Shredder]] in Series 5-7, which had much more success.
