Behemoth is one of the longest running robots in the competition, originally featuring in series 2. The robot’s trademark feature is its yellow and black coloured lifting scoop; the first of its kind in Robot Wars, which has barely changed since its first appearance in 1998. The updated design includes side armour and features two aluminium ploughs angled in a way to stop the momentum of spinners.

What makes Behemoth unique...

Last series team captain Ant Pritchard gained notoriety when he stormed off when they lost to Team Cherub, as his teammates elected to use a weapon that he thought was ineffective and caused them to lose to the judges’ decision.
