Robot History[]
Season 4.0[]
Bust-O-Matic didn't have the same kind of power or fast spinup as many spinners, but it did have the advantage of not damaging itself. Bust-O-Matic's first fight was against ACME Surplus Fighting Robot. The first light hit from its cage spinner seemed to disable ACME Surplus Fighting Robot, but the next hit started it back up. It paused after the next hit. Every hit stopped Bust-O-Matic's weapon, but ACME Surplus Fighting Robot was unable to stay on hit and it spins back up again. At one point, ACME Surplus Fighting Robot was able to stay on Bust-O-Matic when the cage stopped and it rattled off a multitude of drum hits, but did not cause any substantial damage. Bust-O-Matic was then able to get away and spin up again. Bust-O-Matic was then able to deliver a big hit, causing the drum to fall off. Bust-O-Matic won by KO.
Bust moved on to fight Slap 'Em Silly. Bust-O-Matic successfully got in a multitude of attacks on Slap 'Em Silly, but it failed to do any damage and stopped immediately. Bust-O-Matic then began to be shoved around by Slap 'Em Silly for most of the rest of the match. At one point,Slap 'Em Silly got under and pushed Bust-O-Matic into the wall. Bust-O-Matic's spinning cage stopped moving and it became a pushing match. Slap 'Em Silly won on a 37-8 judges' decision, eliminating Bust-O-Matic.
