Robot History

Series 7

In its qualifier, Whipper went straight for Rampage 2, whilst Micro-Mute dealt with Sir Killalot and Gi-Ant-O stayed out of the way. Micro Mute had been immobilized by Matilda's flywheel, whilst attacks from Gi-Ant-O cause Whipper's link to fall out, and Rampage lose drive on one side. When Matilda flipped Micro Mute with her tusks, Micro Mute landed on top of Gi-Ant-O, who also appeared to have become immobile just after the others. Whilst Micro-Mute was attacked and pitted by the house robots, Refbot counted out Gi-Ant-O.

"I'm surprised Whipper hasn't been counted out"

— Jonathan Pearce, surprised about the fact Refbot believed Gi-Ant-O was immobile first.

In the final, the only thing remaining the same was the house robots. Whipper perfomed at its best, flipping Rip and DTK. Rip was pitted, and was joined by Prince of Awe and Bernard, both of whom were pitted by DTK. Rampage broke down and was chucked out of the arena at the end. Only DTK and Whipper were still mobile, but DTK won on the judges' decision.
