"Psycho battle let alone Psychokiller"
— Johnathan Pearce on Psychokillers peculiar tactics of driving into the House Robots

Psychokiller was a yellow wedge robot that participated in the Third Wars. Its weapon was an axe which had two furry hands grasping it and powered by a wheelchair motor. Psychokiller took two months to build and lost in the first round, and did not return beyond this failure.

It may have been named after the Talking Head's song of the same name.

Robot History

Series 3

Psychokiller met Dreadnaut in the first round. Dreadnaut drove in first, but the robots rarely did damage to each other. Psychokiller began circling the flame pit before driving into Sir Killalot, who snapped off its axe. Dreadnaut then pushed Psychokiller back over the flame pit, immobilising it before the house robots attacked. Shunt cleaved a number of holes in its bodywork, and used its scoop along with Sir Killalot's lance to flip Psychokiller over, with Jonathan Pearce noting visible damage on both sides, before causing more damage to the underbelly of Psychokiller.
