Pathetica

Pathetica in the arena

Pathetica was a boxy, T-shaped robot painted in red, blue, black and white, armed with an axe and a rear-mounted circular saw. The axe was not particularly powerful, failing to punch through the wooden armour of Shapeshifter, although the weapon was at least somewhat aggressive - the secondary saw weapon hardly featured in either of its battles.

The robot also had a "Help" message painted in blue on its underside. It is unknown whether Pathetica could self-right from this position, as reliability issues led to its defeat against Sater.

Pathetica chased Sater, but could only graze with its axe blow. After missing a few more attacks, Pathetica came to a halt in the middle of the arena, and was counted out by Refbot. Sir Killalot crushed the rear end of Pathetica. He then had it flipped by the floor flipper, revealing a "help" message underneath the robot, before Sir Killalot burnt Pathetica over the flame pit. Dead Metal had time to cut into Pathetica before the smouldering wreck was pitted.
