'''Scar''' was a grey Y-shaped, invertible robot from [[Series 4]] of ''[[Robot Wars]]''. It was armoured with 3mm thick steel and equipped with three spinning discs, which could spin clockwise or counter-clockwise, each disc with three hardened steel cutting blades. Its low speed and unusual shape proved to be a hindrance in its opening match; it could not get its discs to make contact with the other robots. It survived its first match after [[Firestorm|Firestorm 2]] flipped [[The Morgue]], but had technical problems in between the rounds and was forced to withdraw. Scar did not have any other appearances on Robot Wars. This means that Scar is one of the few robots from Robot Wars never to lose a battle.

"The only scar tissues we need? To soak up the tears of roboteer failure!"
Jonathan Pearce

Scar was a robot that competed in Series 4 of Robot Wars. Although it survived its first match after Firestorm 2 flipped The Morgue, it had technical problems in between the rounds and was forced to withdraw. Scar did not have any other appearances on Robot Wars and as a result, it is one of the few robots from Robot Wars to have never lost a battle.

Firestorm 2 flips Scar over

In the battle, Scar was immediately flipped by Firestorm 2, but was able to keep going, thanks to its ability to run either way up. Scar then attempted to attack The Morgue with its spinning blades, but couldn't get it into position. Firestorm 2 then came in and flipped Scar a couple more times, still not causing any damage or causing an issue. Firestorm 2 then made a run up and flipped The Morgue over. The Morgue was too close to the arena side wall to roll back onto its wheels, leaving it with no method of self-righting, The Morgue was deemed immobilised and attacked by the house robots, this put Scar through to the next round along with the seeded Firestorm 2 machine.

Scar was then due to fight the experienced Ming 2 in the second round of the heat, however, it suffered technical difficulties (due to a damaged and irreplaceable gearbox) and was forced to forfeit its place to The Morgue, eliminating Scar from the competition.
