铁锈野猪 (Romanized as tiě xiù yě zhū and roughly translated as Rust Boar or Rusty Boar) was a robot from Hangzhou, Zhejiang, which competed in the first season of King of Bots. With its powerful drum spinner, it defeated Extreme, Blade Gyro and Knife Legend in three straight wins to reach the top eight of the competition. There, it withdrew from the main competition due to a faulty weapon shaft. It later sustained severe damage in a Tag Team battle against Great White and Spin Doctor.
Design
Rust Boar used a tried-and-tested design popularised by robots such as the Brazilian Touro Maximus and its BattleBots equivalent Minotaur. Roughly square-shaped in design, Rust Boar runs on a two-wheel drive, and is armed with a powerful drum spinner at the front. The drum was balanced in a way that its single tooth carries a huge weight, and its top speed was a remarkable 10,000rpm. The robot was also quick, with the ability to turn quickly despite the force of its weapon, and it can also 'gyro-dance' through the use of the weapon's gyroscopic forces. To match its namesake, the robot was painted brown, to resemble a boar.
Robot History
Season 1
Rust Boar drove straight out of the starting square, and the immediate contact with its opponent caused Extreme to be knocked upwards, and a chain powering its weaponry fell loose, leaving Extreme without a form of attack. Rust Boar was briefly destabilised with a slam, but landed a direct blow to the side of the machine. Rust Boar drove under Extreme using its drum, but Extreme pushed it into a corner where the hammer was brought down on Rust Boar.
However, despite instigating this attack, Extreme's poor turning circle meant that it struggled to leave that corner of the arena, and was struck by the hammer itself. This allowed Rust Boar to line up an attack which tossed Extreme into the air, inflicting damage. Rust Boar held its ground while Extreme managed to escape slowly. It was at this stage that Extreme had exposed its back end to Rust Boar, and the drum spinner ripped pieces away from the rear of Extreme before barging it into an arena drum, which turned Extreme over through a combination of both spinners. Extreme was stranded on its back with no method of self-righting, and it was immediately counted out, awarding the win by knockout to Rust Boar in little over a minute.
In the second round, Rust Boar faced the horizontal bar spinner of Blade Gyro. At the start, it drove out of the red square and constantly spun around the arena, avoiding Blade Gyro as it got its drum up to speed. Eventually, Rust Boar charged into the side of Blade Gyro, hitting its bar and causing both robots to spin away. Seconds later, it rammed into Blade Gyro again, momentarily lifting its opponent off the floor, and retreated towards the left-most grinders. However, Rust Boar sustained a front-on hit from Blade Gyro which knocked it into one the grinders and slowed it down considerably. It attempted to evade a pursuing Blade Gyro, but was hit again by the latter, and left in the corner as it started to lose forward drive.
Rust Boar spun around constantly as it was bumped a few more times by the now-weaponless Blade Gyro, dodging the nearby hammer at one point. With its left wheel clearly disabled, Rust Boar continued to dodge Blade Gyro and shuffle its way back onto the red square. In doing so, it deflected an approaching Blade Gyro into the spikes, and survived as the latter pinned itself under another set of spikes a few seconds later. Rust Boar spun its drum up again, approaching Blade Gyro as the latter was counted out; it celebrated its victory by gyro-dancing across the arena.
In the third round, Rust Boar fought another horizontal bar spinner, Knife Legend. Rust Boar quickly left its starting square in order to chase down Knife Legend, while spinning up its drum. However, Knife Legend immediately turned into the arena wall, causing its weapon and part of its framework to shear from the robot, with its debris narrowly missing Rust Boar. Knife Legend had also been immobilised through the recoil of the impact, and so it was immediately counted out, allowing Rust Boar to win the battle without once making contact with its opponent.
Although Rust Boar had reached the top eight of the competition, and was drawn against the multibot Thunder and Lightning, Rust Boar had to withdraw from the championship due to a faulty weapon shaft, which was damaged in the battle against Blade Gyro. Rust Boar was directly replaced by Snake, which ultimately lost the battle against Thunder and Lightning.
Rust Boar later fought in a Tag Team battle, where it collaborated with Wild Beast to battle the Australian Great White and the American Spin Doctor.
