Revision as of 13:09, 16 January 2018

This article's name is a rough translation from Chinese, and the team have yet to specify the robot's official name. As such, the article's title may not be entirely accurate.

This article/section of article contains SPOILERS about the current season of King of Bots/This is Fighting Robots. If you're unaffected by potential spoilers, then continue to read the article. Otherwise, this article/section of article should not be read before watching the relevant episodes.

海狼 (Romanized as hǎi láng and translated as Sea Wolf) entered into Season 1 by Team Old Captain. Their robot was defeated by Whirlwind Cloud Breaker in the first round.

Design

The robot was an unusual, angled barrel shaped white robot, armored in vulnerably plastic. Sea Wolf was notable for its locomotion, using Mecanum wheels which allowed the robot to move in any direction without turning the shell of the robot. The robot was armed with a rear-hinged four-bar lifting arm, painted dark brown and orange, which was capable of turning other robots over, but did not function as a self-righting mechanism. The robot had two logos on both side of the body armour of its Sea Wolf logo printed.

Whirlwind Cloud Breaker Sea Wolf 2 — Whirlwind Cloud Breaker's drone gets in on the action

In the first round, Sea Wold faced off against Whirlwind Cloud Breaker.

The opening seconds of the battle saw Whirlwind Cloud Breaker spinning its bar up to speed, while Sea Wolf aimlessly spun around next to its starting square. Whirlwind Cloud Breaker's first contact did little to trouble Sea Wolf, barely scratching its lifting arm. However, Whirlwind Cloud Breaker slashed into Sea Wolf shortly after, when the hard-to-control style of Sea Wolf saw it expose itself.

Whirlwind Cloud Breaker finishes off Sea Wolf

Whirlwind Cloud Breaker's drone then got involved with a use of its flamethrower. Whirlwind Cloud Breaker itself then came in, and once again ripped into Sea Wolf's armour. After a minor attack to the side of Sea Wolf, Whirlwind Cloud Breaker came in with a big hit that shattered the back-left corner of Sea Wolf. This attack left Sea Wolf struggling for movement, which allowed Whirlwind Cloud Breaker to close in with another attack, and one which left Sea Wolf immobilised. Sea Wolf was counted out, and Whirlwind Cloud Breaker progressed to the next round, while Team Old Captain mourned for their robot in an emotional finish to the episode.
