- "With a deceptive appearance, hidden the most cruel means of attack, it is from the underground world behemoth - Violent Dragon!"
- — King of Bots website (translated)
暴暴龙(Romanized as bào bào lóng and translated as Violent Dragon, Storm Dragon) was a robot from Guangzhou entered into Season 1 by the team, "Masterpiece Zhuge" or "Peerless Zhuge". The robot sported a comedic appearance, but housed a unique weapon before encountering issues with the robot being overweight. Thus, the weaponless Violent Dragon lost to the multibot Mighty Crossbow and Steel Shield in the first round, before being destroyed in a nine-robot rumble at the end of the series.
Design
Masterpiece Zhuge enter the arena with their robot
Violent Dragon's female head, as used in the end-of-season Rumble
Violent Dragon used an incredibly tall, comical design, based around a dinosaur or a dragon. In truth, the robot's dinosaur heads, brandishing huge teeth, were interchangeable, and the robot itself was a box-shaped design much shorter than its external appearance. The heads themselves were colored blue or pink, the latter also sporting long eyelashes and a floral design for a feminine look. A large blade protruded out of the robot's front, although it did not move in its televised fight. The robot ran on unique locomotion, containing expendable wheels on the inside and outside of the robot, which could break free from the robot and not severely hinder its mobility. Violent Dragon suffered from a lack of a self-righting mechanism, comparative top-heaviness, the inability to turn on the spot, and weak armor.
In actuality, Violent Dragon's weapon was an E-Tek driven hydraulic clamp, but this had to be disabled, as the robot was overweight prior to its first battle.
Robot History
Season 1
- "Like Zhuge, wisdom is used to resolve violence."
- — The team's declaration on the King of Bots website
The smaller half tries to push its larger opponent
In the first round, Violent Dragon fought the multibot Mighty Crossbow and Steel Shield, using its original blue head. Violent Dragon struggled to move with precision due to its large size, but it was only threatened by the smaller half of the clusterbot, allowing it to continue coasting around the arena. It was eventually trapped by the small wedge, which reversed the huge robot towards the arena drum, but the heavier machine stood firm. The wedge then pressed into the side of Storm Dragon and eventually caused one of its wheels to fall off.
An attack of the flipper removes Violent Dragon's head
The combined attack of the clusterbots earns the knockout
Violent Dragon still drove at a similar page, but the smaller half pushed Storm Dragon into the wall. Mighty Crossbow and Steel Shield's flipper was then brought into action for the first time, lifting up Storm Dragon and causing its comedy head to fall away from the robot. Finally, after backing Storm Dragon into the wall, the smaller clusterbot drove under it so that the flipper could win the match by knockout, toppling its huge foe. Thus, Violent Dragon was eliminated in the first round.
Violent Dragon also participated in the nine-robot rumble held at the end of the series, sporting its pink head.
