El Diablo Grande was a heavyweight robot built by Team Diablo which debuted in Season 3.0 of Comedy Central BattleBots.
It was essentially a larger El Diablo to compete in the heavier weight division, hence the name. Like its middleweight counterpart, El Diablo Grande was a tracked robot armed with a spinning drum, though this was upgraded to a set of flywheels in Season 5.0, as well as a lifting arm.
El Diablo Grande was actually intended to replace new El Diablo, hence why El Diablo did not participate in Season 3.0, but it was moved into the heavyweight class because builder Zack Bieber wanted more horsepower in its drivetrain and weapons. It did decently, reaching the televised rounds of Season 4.0, but never surpassed the Round of 32 in any of its three seasons.
After BattleBots was axed by Comedy Central, El Diablo Grande's lifting arm was taken and used for Team Diablo's newer lightweight robot named Pig Sticker.

Season 4.0[] |
El Diablo Grande vs. Botknocker-19 El Diablo Grande's first match in Season 4.0 was against Botknocker-19. The fight began and Botknocker-19 started spinning, so El Diablo Grande slammed into it fearlessly. This was enough to damage Botknocker-19 but also disabling its own drum. El Diablo Grande kept ramming into Botknocker-19, continuing to cause damage even despite its non-functional primary weapon. Eventually, Botknocker-19 stopped spinning and El Diablo Grande tried to get its lifting tail under Botknocker-19, but it was too bent from previous exchanges. Instead, it just pushed its opponent around the BattleBox and Botknocker-19 started smoking. Botknocker-19 stopped moving and was now being counted out. El Diablo Grande won the fight by KO at 2:00 and advanced to the TV rounds. |
