Medi-Junk was a circular robot that attempted to qualify for Series 2 of Robot Wars. It attended filming and was set to appear in Heat I of the Second Wars, but was replaced by Cruella for reasons unknown. It was destroyed by Dead Metal and Sergeant Bash in the House Robot introduction in Series 3.
Design[]
Medi-Junk was a white circular robot which had interchangable "arms" that consisted of scoops and spikes[1]. The robot had a rounded "head" on top of the main body which consisted of two round red lights, seemingly suggesting that they represented eyes, with a small rectangular gap representing a mouth.
Qualification[]
Medi-Junk was in a relatively complete state by the time it attended the rehearsals for The Second Wars. At the rehearsals, the team had also brought along some of its interchangeable weapons. However, the robot's movement speed was noted as being slow[2]. Medi-Junk was successful in qualifying for the series.
Medi-Junk was also attendance for the filming of The Third Wars, though whether or not it qualified or was used as a reserve robot is unknown.

While Medi-Junk did not appear in combat during The Third Wars, it did make a cameo appearance in the House Robot introductions segment at the beginning of Heat A, though it was not referred to by name and its head was covered by a strip of black fabric. Dead Metal cut into Medi-Junk with its then-new circular saw set up before Sergeant Bash set Medi-Junk alight with its flamethrower.
