Land Dragon, or Ground Dragon, was a Chinese competitor robot which competed in Season 2 of King of Bots. Despite its unique weaponry, Land Dragon was not selected by any celebrities during the first stage of the competition, relegating it to the redemption rounds. There, in a four-way rumble against Yesaji, Bullseye and Iron Rooster, Land Dragon could not even move, and lost its place in the competition here.

Land Dragon in the arena
Land Dragon was a somewhat wedge-shaped invertible robot, driven by two wheels. It was armed with a unique rotating weapon, in the form of a large drill. This uncommon weapon brings a surprise factor to Land Dragon, although the robot must maintain contact with its opponent for a lengthy amount of time in order to cause meaningful damage, and Land Dragon has no way to hold robots in place other than by ramming them into the wall. Nevertheless, Land Dragon's side armor provided good protection, and its weapon was not affected by the robot being inverted. A thin rear wedge was also present at the back of the robot, serving as a kickstand. Ultimately, however, Land Dragon failed to move in its only battle.
Robot History
King of Bots II (Season 2)
Land Dragon was among the Chinese robots available for selection in the opening rounds of the competition. However, Land Dragon was largely ignored by the celebrity captains, and ultimately the first round concluded without Land Dragon participating in a battle. As a result, Land Dragon was knocked into the redemption round, where it was drawn into a four-way rumble against Yesaji, Bullseye and Iron Rooster.

However, Land Dragon completely failed to move from the outset of this battle, and never left the corner it started in. The referee did not hesistate to count Land Dragon out, and its only involvement took place when Yesaji rammed Bullseye into the same corner to KO it, with both immobile machines sitting beside each other for most of the fight. Ultimately Yesaji won the battle over Iron Rooster on a Judges' decision, while Land Dragon was eliminated from King of Bots II without even managing to move.
