Darkstar-2J was a heavyweight robot built by Team Merkin Trolls which competed in Season 5.0 of Comedy Central BattleBots.

It was a black, low-profile robot armored with hinged polycarbonate skirts and a lifting arm for its primary weapon. It performed decently in its only season, reaching the televised rounds before being destroyed by Warhead.

Darkstar-2J was originally planning on entering Season 4.0 as the team was listed on the official BattleBots rankings page ahead of the Season 4.0 tournament.[1] It is unknown why it dropped out.

Warhead delivers the final blow to Darkstar-2J.

Now in the TV founds, Darkstar-2J faced another rookie robot in Warhead. Both robots charged at each other at the start of the fight, not causing any visible damage, but Warhead's second attack tore Darkstar-2J's side armor clean off, tossing Warhead over. Warhead self righted, sending the polycarbonate cover of the killsaws next to it flying, before continuing to destroy the armor of Darkstar-2J, throwing it across the BattleBox. After one final attack, Darkstar-2J was immobilized and Warhead performed a victory spin. Darkstar-2J was counted out and Warhead won by KO at 59 seconds, meaning Darkstar-2J was eliminated from the tournament.[2]
