Robot History[]
Robotica Season 1.0[]
The Heavyweight, Killer B faces off with the Lightweight, Mini Inferno. They are both closely matched in terms of speed but the size and shape of Killer B allowed it to plow through the smaller bot, interrupting the pace of the opponent. Killer B took the lead after it drove one lap. Mini Inferno was then avoiding the robot, being completely outmatched in terms of pushing and scooping. Killer B kept the higher position and won the first trial, 6-4, which brings their score to 80 for Killer B and 40 for Mini Inferno.
In the next trial, Maze, Killer B was a wide margin behind Mini Inferno in the beginning as Mini Inferno was nearly finishing the second obstacle while it was still going through the ramp. Once Killer B completed the 2nd obstacle, Mini Inferno was able to dislodge itself from being stuck in the last spinning panel prior. Killer B was then halted by one of the speed bumps behind the guillotine door which gave Mini Inferno the opportunity to reach the target spot first. Killer B received a 45 while Mini Inferno received a 100, tallying up to 125:140 respectively.
The third trial, Gauntlet, was up next and both of them were able to shove their way through the glass and cans. Killer B went through the bricks but were stopped by the concrete slabs. Meanwhile, Mini Inferno was readily busting down the brick wall before the lightweight completely drove through the slabs as Killer B was getting unstuck. Mini Inferno, having severe size and power disadvantage, took long to push the safe. After repeated strikes towards Mini Inferno, Killer B released itself from the debris and rammed the safe in front of the taped line easily. Score given to Killer B is 100 and to Mini Inferno, 60. Killer B defeated its opponent by 25 points.
Killer B now has to overcome his next enemy, Run Amok, the eventual Season 1 Champion. Both bots directed towards each other. As the fight commenced, Killer B's wedge scooped up Run Amok and tried to pin it. Run Amok rode away from Killer B easily but Killer B returned direction to shove it. In karmic misfortune, the wedge got embedded in the railings. Run Amok then charged at Killer B and persisted until the rails set down and Killer B down into the spike floor. Killer B was eliminated in accordance with his loss.
BattleBots Comedy Central Season 3.0[]
KillerB's first ever match in BattleBots was against Phrizbee in the final preliminary round. KillerB won on a 40-5 judge's decision and advanced to the TV rounds, where it faced Tripulta Raptor. KillerB started pushing Tripulta Raptor toward the pulverizer and Tripulta Raptor lost one of its tracks from the impact. KillerB won the match by KO and KillerB advanced to the round of 32, where it faced Surgeon General.
It was a quick match as Surgeon General hit the corner of KillerB and penetrated its armor, ripping the batteries out of it and rendering it motionless. KillerB was now being counted out and Surgeon General won the by KO. This mean that KillerB was eliminated from the tournament.
KillerB didn't participate in the heavyweight consolation rumble at the end of the tournament most likely due to damage in its last match against Surgeon General.
BattleBots Comedy Central Season 4.0[]
Due to previously competing in Season 3.0, KillerB was allowed to skip the preliminary rounds of Season 4.0, where it eventually fought Sharkbyte. In the beginning of the match, Sharkbyte moves out of the way and KillerB slams itself into the screws. KillerB bounces back and heads toward Sharkbyte, whose weapon is spinning at full power. KillerB is able to get its wedge under Sharkbyte without getting hit by the spinning disc and drives Sharkbyte into the wall. The angle that Sharkbyte hits the wall at rips off one of the Lexan strips separating the spikes from the wall. KillerB shoves Shark Byte again and another Lexan strip is shattered. KillerB drives Sharkbyte towards the pulverizer and Sharkbyte took one hit from the pulverizer. KillerB gets underneath Sharkbyte and Sharkbyte lands on top of KillerB. KillerB slams itself against the arena wall and Sharkbyte bounces off KillerB. KillerB gets underneath SharkByte again and pushed it under the pulverizer. Sharkbyte was spinning its disc again and the fake "shark jaws" gets caught on the disc, which came off from the impact. After a few more hits from the pulverizer, Sharkbyte finally escaped and KillerB suddenly stopped moving as its speed controller had overheated. Sharkbyte then pushed KillerB under the pulverizer and KillerB was counted out. Sharkbyte won by KO at 1:52 and KillerB was eliminated from the tournament again.
KillerB was scheduled to compete in the heavyweight consolation rumble at the end of the tournament but due to technical issues, KillerB was forced to pull out.
BattleBots Comedy Central Season 5.0[]
Despite reaching the round of 32 in Season 4.0, KillerB had to go through the qualifiers again in Season 5.0. However, due to lack of participants, KillerB received two byes in the final preliminary rounds. Because of this, KillerB was already back in the TV rounds, where it faced El Diablo Grande. El Diablo Grande won on a 37-8 judge's decision and KillerB was eliminated from the tournament once again.
Because it lost in the round of 64, Killer B couldn't participate the heavyweight consolation rumble at the end of the tournament. Even if it did, it wouldn't come back for the heavyweight royal rumble due to an incident with Nightmare in the heavyweight consolation rumble which resulted in all the rumbles getting cancelled.
