Legion is a British featherweight robot built by Team Legion, which competed in the 2018 King of Bots UK International Championships. Captained by Gabriel Stroud, it endured mixed success in the qualification rounds, initially achieving a knockout win over Luna-Tic before getting thrown out of the arena by 2018 Beijing champion Saber-X in its very next battle. Following another defeat in its last qualifier – where it was thrown out of the arena again, this time by Conker 3 – Legion was eliminated from the 2018 UK International Championships.
Legion earned considerably more success in the Annihilator, where it finished third to Neon and Naughty Snake respectively.
