Tourbillon (English: Whirlwind) was a Heavyweight robot from Amos, Québec, Canada. It was a two-wheeled, red, yellow, and black robot similar in design to Barber-Ous. Like Barber-ous it was armed with a oversized spinning drum. Tourbillon did well in competition, despite losing more matches than it won, it ended its career on a high note, becoming the Heavyweight champion of WBX-IV: Bushwhacked in its last ever appearance, and never failing to make the quarter-finals of any event it entered, mostly due to a lack of entries.
It's name was likely based on the Tourbillon method of countering gyroscopic forces in watches.

Tourbillon's wheel getting ripped off by Eugene
Tourbillon's first ever match was against Eugene. Both bots approached one another, with the taller Tourbillon able to drive over Eugene's weapon, causing sparks to fly from Eugene's chassis. After a few hits, Eugene ripped a wheel off of Tourbillon, immobilizing it. As a result, Tourbillon was sent to the loser's bracket.
Due to a lack of entries, Tourbillon found itself in the semi-finals where it faced T-Bolt. It lost this match as well, and finished the event in fourth place.
WBX-3[]
As of 2020, it is unclear whether or not Tourbillon even attended this event, which could mean that these fights were forfeits.
