Bulldozer was a heavyweight robot which competed in Season 1.5, the debut season of This is Fighting Robots. It was selected by Wu Chun to join the Red team for the main competition, but lost its first battle to Spear and Shield. It avenged this loss in the Tag Team round, pitting Spear and Shield in the opening seconds while its teammate Megabyte immobilized Two BBQ. However, for reasons not expressed on television, Bulldozer was eliminated from the competition off-screen.
Design
Bulldozer in the arena, behind Megabyte
Bulldozer uses a yellow-and-black color-scheme, and runs on four wheels. It was armed with two prongs at the front, attached to a lifting mechanism, which would also allow the robot to self-right. Bulldozer was also equipped with a flamethrower. Although its sides were vulnerable, the front of Bulldozer proved resistant to spinners.

Spear and Shield becomes stuck on Bulldozer
Spear and Shield strikes the front of Bulldozer
Bulldozer was chosen by Wu Chun to join the Red team during the initial selection process, and would first fight in the second round of the main competition. With Spear and Shield nominated to enter a battle, only Bulldozer responded to the call and fought for a victory against the latter. The battle was relegated to a montage with very little shown. Bulldozer took an initial lead when Spear and Shield crashed into the arena wall, halting its momentum. Spear and Shield then drove directly onto Bulldozer's wedge, but later delivered a large blow to the front of Bulldozer. On another hit, Spear and Shield sent Bulldozer reeling into the Grinder. Bulldozer became immobile upon contact with the Grinder, and lost the battle via knockout.
Bulldozer deflects Spear and Shield into the pit
In the Tag Team round, Bulldozer was partnered with King of Bots third-place finisher Megabyte of the Green team. Here, it faced Spear and Shield of the Blue team for the second time, and its teammate Two BBQ of the Yellow team. Immediately, Bulldozer charged into Spear and Shield, knocking it into the open pit nearby and achieving vengeance against the latter. After this initial attack, it remained at the far side of the arena while Megabyte proceeded to damage and immobilize Two BBQ, and continued to stay out of the action as its American teammate pursued, attacked and eventually immobilized an unpitted Spear and Shield. With this, Bulldozer emerged victorious along with Megabyte.
Bulldozer later fought Blue in a head-to-head battle, although this was not broadcast in full on the televised show. Bulldozer lost the battle to Blue, and was eliminated from the competition as a result.
