Falcon was a heavyweight (formerly middleweight) robot built by Team Whyachi, which competed in BattleBots World Championship IV, as well as several events in the mid-to-late 2000s.

Originally a middleweight, Falcon first fought at the 2004 NPC Charity Open. The robot was metallic in color, invertible and equipped with a spinning drum. It performed well in competition, finishing runner-up at the NPC Charity Open, and the following year's R3: Rochester Robot Rampage. It was a two-time BattleBots IQ High School Division Champion in 2004 and 2005 representing Abbotsford High School, where it was subsequently retired from BBIQ events due to a rule where robots which won multiple titles were omitted from future competitions.

Falcon returned with Clint and Jake Ewert for the 2009 Collegiate Championship, representing UW-Stout under the Team Blue Devil name. Here, it achieved its strongest run at any BattleBots tournament, emerging as the overall Collegiate Champion with an undefeated 5-0 streak. Following this, the middleweight Falcon was retired, but kept by Team Whyachi for display at annual Mecha Mayhem events alongside the superheavyweight Son of Whyachi. Another smaller version of Falcon debuted in BattleBots IQ 2005 as Falcon15 where the number in its name stood for its weight - 15lbs. Falcon15 won all five of its fights to become the inaugural BattleBots IQ 15lb champion.

As BattleBots returned in 2015 on ABC, Team Whyachi applied with a heavyweight version of the single drum spinner design which won both BattleBots IQ events, but according to Dick Stuplich, it was not selected for unconfirmed reasons.

For the 2019 season, Falcon finally returned as a 250lb robot accompanied by a minibot named Weasel, likely named after the nickname given to Reese Ewert. Falcon was taller than before and armed with two spinning drums rather than one, both powered by brushless motors. The bot itself was densely built and also invertible, as its top wheels were powered separately to its bottom wheels. Its drums were shaped in such a way that the teeth would interlock with the gaps between each front fork, increasing the chance of bite on an opponent. Despite being over twice the weight of the 120lb robot, the 250lb Falcon was actually a smaller robot overall. However, Falcon did not live up to expectations and finished 1-2 in the regular season, failing to make the tournament bracket. The team put this down to Falcon being an experimental design, according to their 2019 Reddit AMA.

Falcon did not return after the 2019 competition as the Ewert family prioritized Hydra and Reese Ewert moved on to captain their newest bot, Fusion. Though it has never officially been announced as retired, Team Whyachi's website lists the bot as "inactive" alongside their BattleBots entrants, live event bots and reboot entry Warrior Clan. The team briefly brought Son of Whyachi back for BattleBots: Bounty Hunters driven by Jake Ewert, but it lost its crown to Gigabyte.

Both the middleweight and heavyweight versions of Falcon reside within the Team Whyachi workshop, as shown by Reese Ewert in an April 2022 blog from Team Skorpios.

Falconizer vs. Swamp Thing Falconizer's first match was against Hardcore Robotics and Swamp Thing. Falconizer kicks Swamp Thing right side up. When the match began, the two bots met at the center of the arena, trying to get in a position to strike Swamp Thing as it appeared to be struggling with its left side drive. Eventually, Falconizer took a head-on charge by Swamp Thing and kicked it in the air and upside down, and struck Swamp Thing a second time to flip it back over. After Swamp Thing danced over Falconizer's drum, it landed a glancing blow to the right side of Swamp Thing. Falconizer countered a charge from the wedgebot and struck it hard on the right tire, flipping it over. Falconizer kicks the rear of Swamp Thing in mid-air. Falconizer then retreated to its staring square, and Swamp Thing followed suit. After Swamp Thing bumped Falconizer in the front, Falconizer responded with two kicks to the tires, tossing the wedgebot around. After hitting the front of Swamp Thing, Falconizer followed it out of the square and delivered another hit to the side as it ran away, flipping it upside down. Falconizer then hunted down Swamp Thing and dealt a blow which threw it back over. Falconizer then followed up with a kick to the wheel and the back side that sent Swamp Thing spinning in mid air. Falconizer then chased Swamp Thing around the box, flipping it over as kicked under the wedgebot's rear end and struck a tire, throwing Swamp Thing again. Falconizer kicks Swamp thing into the air. Falconizer followed up with another kick to the tire that flipped Swamp Thing right side up, before moving in to land several successive hits to Swamp Thing. After Falconizer maneuvered around, attempting to turn and face Swamp Thing, Falconizer eventually charged in and delivered a major blow to the side of Swamp Thing's wedge, sending the wedgebot into a spin and landing upside down. Falconizer chased it down and delivered a minor blow to the underside from the front. Falconizer strikes the wheel of Swamp Thing as it runs past. Both bots then roamed around the BattleBox for an extended period of time without making any contact with each other until Falconizer delivered a final hit to the side of Swamp Thing. The fight went the distance and with Swamp Thing managing to achieve little in the way of attacks throughout, Falconizer won by judges' decision and advanced to the winner's quarter-finals.
Falconizer vs. SubZero Falconizer gets popped upwards by SubZero. In the quarter-finals of the winner's bracket, Falconizer failed to get its spinning drum going and kept its rear pointing at SubZero so it could not be flipped. SubZero managed to flip the front of Falconizer before the Ewerts' bot pointed its back at SubZero again. SubZero won on a judges' decision and Falconizer was now in the Loser's Bracket.
Falconizer vs. Papercut In the loser's bracket, Falconizer faced off against Papercut. Falconizer kicks Papercut onto its back. When the match began, both robots spun their weapons up and maneuvered around, trying to line up for their shots. Eventually, Falconizer approached Papercut as it passed by and pivoted its right side towards the bar spinner, taking several shots to its hinged skirt before pivoting right and clashing with its drum, popping Papercut into the air. Falconizer pops Papercut into the air. As Papercut landed, Falconizer got struck on its front left corner, sending it spinning across the floor. To Falconizer's fortune, Papercut's spinning bar became incapacitated after the impact. To capitalize, Falconizer charged in and kicked Papercut into the air and onto its back, where it was counted out.
Falconizer vs. Floor Jack Falconizer tears apart Floor Jack's wedge and rips its internals out. Falconizer moved on to the next round, where it faced Floor Jack. Falconizer quickly tossed Floor Jack onto its back with its spinning drum as sparks flew on impact. Falconizer kicks Floor Jack onto its back. As Floor Jack was trying to run away, Falconizer ripped the front wedge off Floor Jack and a battery came loose. Floor Jack tapped out and Falconizer was declared the winner by knockout.
Falconizer vs. SABotage Next up for Falconizer was a former Comedy Central BattleBots competitor in SABotage. Falconizer kicks SABotage back onto its wheels Falconizer tosses SABotage onto its back. SABotage gets tossed by Falconizer's spinning drum. Falconizer kicks SABotage back onto its back. In the opening moments, both robots were circling around each other and SABotage tried to lift Falconizer from the right side. Falconizer then managed to hit the front of SABotage with its spinning drum and ripped a piece off from the left side. Falconizer continued to hit SABotage and tossed it onto its back. As SABotage tried to self-right, Falconizer hit SABotage's lifting arm and tossed it back onto its wheels. SABotage was moving around Falconizer and both robots collided into each other shortly after. SABotage then got its lifter underneath the left side of Falconizer and tried to lifted it, but missed. Both robots backed up and Falconizer went straight at SABotage, tossing it onto its back once again. Falconizer continued attacking as SABotage tried to self-right again. However, SABotage was unable to and Falconizer tossed SABotage again with its spinning drum. SABotage was still on its back and Falconizer hit its opponent's right wheel. After this, SABotage was counted out and Falconizer won the match by KO.
Falconizer vs. SubZero This win put Falconizer to the next round, where it faced SubZero again. When the match began, Falcon pivoted left and back in its square before approaching its opponent at the center of the arena, where they clashed heads, leading to Falcon drawing first blood by catching the tip of the flipper with its drum, kicking SubZero up and away. Falcon approached again to follow up, but hit a floor seam in the process, leading to SubZero running into the drum and popping itself upwards. After scoring a minor hit to the left wheelguard, Falcon tried to turn towards SubZero as the latter backed away, struggling to maneuver into position until SubZero drove towards its front and fired its flipper right into the drum. However, the flip was unsuccessful, and the force of Falcon's drum spinner ripped off the tip of the flipper and caused the flipper itself to get jammed in the up position. To capitalize, Falcon rushed forward and struck the left wheel guard of its opponent, tossing SubZero onto its back. After SubZero self-righted, Falcon exposed its left side to its opponent. However, with the tip of its flipper ripped off, SubZero was unable to capitalize, and it fired a dud instead. After moving away, Falcon turned and charged into SubZero's front, popping it upwards once before kicking it again, this time up and on top of its back. After reverse pivoting to the left towards the red starting square and shaking its opponent off its back, Falcon advanced towards a reversing SubZero at the center and struck the right wheelguard, popping it upwards and spinning an armor plate counterclockwise before hitting its opponent again as it landed, chucking the armor plate straight up in the air. Falcon followed up by targeting the left front armor plates and tossing SubZero into the air once more, before striking the left wheelguard and popping it upwards again as the latter reversed past. After several seconds of both bots trying to reset, Falcon suddenly got rushed into the right side by SubZero, which tried to shunt the drum spinner despite having no ground game tools left for leverage. After SubZero retreated, Falcon crab walked to the center due to traction trouble with its left side, where SubZero approached it again. In response, Falcon lunged forward into SubZero's left front armor plates, popping its opponent upwards while also chipping away small chunks into the air which rained down from above. After a brief standoff, Falcon retreated to an area near the red square to reset, before charging towards SubZero at the center and dishing out a huge blow to the left front armor plates before following up with two more hits to the right wheel, kicking it into the air and almost tipping it upside down, while also disabling SubZero's right wheel in the process. With both bots still in close proximity, SubZero drove right into Falcon's drum, leading to Falcon delivering major hits to the left front armor plates and the left wheel as it sent the flipper bot spinning in the air. After taking a minor tap from SubZero while spending several seconds backing away and repositioning itself, Falcon moved in and dished out another two hits to the left front and the underside, popping SubZero upwards yet again. Falcon then followed up by pivoting 270 degrees to the left and launching two more kicks, one to the right front armor plate that popped it upwards and one to the right wheel that sent it right over Falcon's top. By this point, SubZero had stopped moving, but Falcon did not relent. After briefly backing into the left side of its opponent, Falcon turned around and struck the left wheel guard, ripping off the guard's armor plate. Falcon then moved to the rear and popped SubZero up with one hit, followed by another that pulled it on top of Falcon. Falcon proceeded to carry SubZero in reverse to the center of the arena before Team XD tapped out, giving Falcon the win by KO.
Falconizer vs. Z.I.P. Falconizer advanced to the loser's finals, where it faced Z.I.P.. Falconizer kicks Z.I.P. onto its back. Falconizer spins Z.I.P. in the air. When the match began, Falconizer avoided the box rush by Z.I.P. The two maneuvered around each other for a while before Falconizer started hitting Z.I.P, first on the wedge, then on the side and underside. Falconizer later kicked Z.I.P. in the air on two separate head on collisions before dishing out a series of hits that spun Z.I.P. around and then hitting Z.I.P. in the rear end when it reversed over its opponent. Falconizer grinds into Z.I.P's rear Falconizer charges into and reverse-launches Z.I.P. into the air.

When it got rammed again, Falconizer kicked up the wedge and delivered a few shots to the underside. Falconizer delivered a few shots to the wedge as Z.I.P. reversed into a pulverizer, before eventually dishing out a blow to the wedge that flipped Z.I.P. upside down. Falconizer tosses Z.I.P. into the wall. By this point, Z.I.P. appeared to be having drive issues, as its left side appeared to be losing drive. After another hit to the wedge, Falconizer kicked up the wedge and ground at the top of Z.I.P. Falconizer then kicked up Z.I.P. from the side and delivered Z.I.P. to the pulverizer, where Z.I.P. was hit two times before escaping. After a small hit to the back, Falconizer charged in and dished out a massive blow to the underside that reverse launched Z.I.P. in the air. After a bit of maneuvering, Falconizer ground into the right rear of Z.I.P. before kicking it on top of itself again. Falcon grinds into Z.I.P.'s rear. After some more moving around, Falconizer kicked Z.I.P. over itself two more times before kicking it up from the left rear along with another shot to the wedge that sent it spinning into the wall. As Z.I.P. backed away from the wall, Falconizer kicked in the air once more from the back, nearly flipping it back over before a last hit in the air sent it back upside down. After another grinding to the underside from the side of the wedge, Falconizer made another charge, kicking it up from the side and sending it spinning in the air. Falconizer continued to deliver shots to the rear, the sides, and the underside as the time was winding down. When the match made the distance, Falconizer won on a judges' decision.
Falconizer vs. Devil's Plunger Falconizer kick Devil's Plunger in the air and onto its back. Now in the middleweight finals, Falconizer took on Devil's Plunger. When the match began, Falconizer approached a rushing Devil's Plunger and started delivering glancing blows to the latter's front wedge. Falconizer kicks Devil's Plunger into the air and back upright. Just as Devil's Plunger started to gain leverage on the front, Falconizer slipped off and immediately kicked Devil's Plunger into the air and upside down. Falconizer gave chase and delivered some shavings on the front wedge until Devil's Plunger suddenly charged straight into Falconizer's drum, causing the former to go airborne. Falconizer gets scooped up by Devil's Plunger before being shoved into the wall. Following this, Falconizer approached Devil's Plunger and delivered a couple more blows to the wedge, the second one jamming the wedge upwards. Falconizer then kept on pressing Devil's Plunger as the latter reversed and charged head on into Falconizer's drum, sending the wedgebot flying and landing back upright. Falconizer proceeded to keep up the pressure on Devil's Plunger, coming in for another shot to the wedge. This time, Falconizer was scooped up and rammed into the wall, flipping the drum bot upside down. Now unable to win the ground game so easily, Devil's Plunger now had the upper hand.

Falcon vs. Green Wave This put Falcon in the semi-finals where it faced Green Wave, an opponent it previously faced in the BattleBots IQ event earlier that year. Falcon delivers the first exchange. When the match began, both bots activated their spinners and approached with caution. In the middle of the arena, Falcon initiated the first exchange, popping Green Wave upwards. As Green Wave maneuvered around to the side in an attempt to get under the skirt, Falcon turned and kicked up Green Wave's front wedgelets with its drum, allowing it to gain purchase from underneath and deliver a major collision that sent Green Wave flying uncontrollably. Falcon gets kicked in the rear by an unstable Green Wave. However, this also resulted in Falcon landing inverted and digging its drum on the floor. Green Wave tried to take advantage of having the ground game, and as Falcon tried to press on by ramming drum first into Green Wave's spinner a couple more times, it stopped moving and tapped out. With Green Wave winning by TKO.
Falcon vs. SubZero Falcon was now in the Loser's Bracket finals where it fought a rematch against SubZero. During the Green Wave fight, Falcon had lost the use of its drum, meaning it was going in with just its wedge skirts and front forks. However, it won this fight, and advanced to the middleweight finals where it faced Green Wave once again.
Falcon vs. Green Wave For this match, all three of its hinged skirts were removed and replaced with a thick, static wedge, with the intent of playing a defensive game. When the match began, Falcon moved outside of its square cautiously and seemingly got stuck on some debris. Falcon takes a glancing blow from Green Wave. After Green Wave knocked it free, Falcon started taking glancing blows to its front wedge as it got shoved into the wall, all the while starting to show problems with its right side drive.

Falcon took the win by KO and moved into the semi-finals.
Falcon vs. Icewave In the final four, Falcon took on Marc DeVidts and Icewave. Icewave strikes Falcon early on. Falcon immediately got up to speed also, driving into the front of Icewave and tanking a hit from its horizontal spinner. Icewave's ground clearance was breached as Falcon drove underneath Icewave's primary weapon momentarily stopped, but Falcon could not take advantage as its drum spinner lacked the reach to strike Icewave while it was vulnerable. Falcon's wedge rides up the front of Icewave. Icewave and Falcon met head on again, with Falcon's wedge driving over the front plow of Marc DeVidts' bot. The two drove around the BattleBox for much of the remainder of the fight as both survived to a judges' decision. Falcon lost this fight by judges' decision and was eliminated at this stage.
Collegiate Championship 2009
Falcon vs. Pharaoh Under the captaincy of Clint and Jake Ewert, the middleweight Falcon returned once more for the 2009 Collegiate Championship, representing the University of Wisconsin - Stout (UW-Stout) under the Team Blue Devil banner. Clips of the machine being tested in the BattleBox featured at the end of the first and so far only publicly-released episode of the series, though much of Falcon's fights would end up being unaired due to CBS College Sports dropping the Collegiate Championship at the last minute. Official match records and schedules confirm that Falcon initially fought the pneumatic flipper of Pharaoh in the main Winner's Bracket. Very little information is available, but Falcon won by knockout after one minute and 26 seconds.
Falcon vs. DracUCLA Following this commanding victory, Falcon next faced DracUCLA, another two-wheeled drum spinner type. When the match began, Falcon charged in as DracUCLA tried to avoid it, but instead they clash drum-to-drum, putting DracUCLA into the barrier connecting the screws before Falcon delivered a shot to the left side, kicking it up, tearing off an armor plate, and flipping it into a corner between the wall and the screws. When DracUCLA turned around, Falcon delivered several shots to the front, one of which causing DracUCLA to stand on its back before knocking it back down. Falcon briefly upends DracUCLA. Falcon soon backed away, letting DracUCLA out of the space, before striking the right front once more, flipping it again and connecting drums once more, flipping DracUCLA back over. Falcon gave a shot to the back and pushed it towards the barrier connecting the screws, before DracUCLA escaped. Falcon kicks DracUCLA and pushes it towards the screws. Falcon got a lucky break when DracUCLA turned into the path of their team's pulverizer. Immediately, the pulverizer came down on DracUCLA, the first one popping out the right front armor plate and the second one hitting the drum, stopping it. When DracUCLA tried to escape, Falcon came in and struck the front, flipping it back into the path of the pulverizer, and just as the pulverizer was about to fire again, Falcon kicked and flipped DracUCLA once more just before the pulverizer hit it again, incapacitating it. Falcon tosses DracUCLA, eventually immobilizing it. Falcon gave one more shot as the pulverizer continued to pound DracUCLA before DracUCLA tapped out. Falcon was thus given its second-consecutive KO, though BattleBots records suggest that the match actually went to a Judges' decision.
Falcon vs. Cattitude In the third round, Falcon faced its second drum spinner in the form of Cattitude. This proved to be its quickest fight of the competition yet, winning by knockout in 49 seconds.
Falcon vs. Triton With an as-yet unbeaten streak, Falcon would next face Triton, a modular robot from Triton Robotix. Prior to the fight - the final round of the Winner's Bracket - it was revealed that the effectiveness of Falcon's drum had forced Triton Robotix to make some design changes to their robot; namely by adding a center spike to its plough in order to breach its ground clearance. This was the only aspect of the match to be made available, as clips of Triton Robotix discussing their modifications were shown at the end of the publicly-released Episode 1. Nevertheless, match records confirm that Falcon won this bout on a Judges' decision, with both robots being suggested to have lasted the full three minutes. Thus, it secured its place in the overall final.
Falcon vs. Category 5 With Triton going on to win the Loser's Bracket final against Category 5, the final was staged as a rematch between the two machines. As before, the match lasted the full three minutes, with Falcon once again winning the Judges' decision to complete its 5-0 record and become the 2009 Collegiate Champion. The non-release of the remaining series episodes meant that Falcon's championship victory was only initially confirmed by University of Wisconsin - Stout themselves.
World Championship IV
Falcon vs. Breaker Box Falcon's televised BattleBots debut came against fellow veteran Jim Smentowski and Breaker Box. Falcon gets pinned against the screws. Falcon gets flipped upside down after getting slammed into the wall. As the match began, Falcon experienced drive issues but both drums got up to speed. This left Falcon vulnerable as they were pushed around the arena. Falcon continued to have drive issues and were shoved around again, eventually getting flipped over. Falcon gets pinned against the wall by Breaker Box. Falcon managed to regain some mobility as Breaker Box now began to suffer in this department. Falcon tried to take advantage by fitting the sides of Breaker Box's plow, but the Team Whyachi robot was unable to cause much damage before time ran out. The judges ultimately awarded Breaker Box a 2-1 split decision.
Falcon vs. Ribbot Next for Falcon was a match against newcomer Ribbot. Falcon gets backflipped on the initial collision. Early on, Falcon had trouble maneuvering around the arena but managed to get its twin drums up to speed. However Falcon started to take multiple hits from Ribbot, who got the early upper hand. Falcon takes shots to the side from Ribbot's bar. Falcon takes more shots to the side from Ribbot's bar. However, Falcon soon lost the use of its gray drum so it was forced to use the white one. Ribbot was losing its cosmetic legs, but these had no effect on its performance so Falcon continued to take punishment, losing a wedgelet before being sent into the screws. Falcon gets rammed into the screws by Ribbot. Falcon then lost more wedgelets and eventually came practically to a halt near the screws. Falcon was unable to show enough movement and was counted out, giving Ribbot the win by KO. After the fight, it was revealed that some of Ribbot's foam had gotten sucked into Falcon's compact body, jamming up some of the mechanisms. It was revealed Team Whyachi that Clint Ewert wanted Ribbot to enter the fight without the foam frog to avoid it potentially jamming their weapons, but he was overruled.
Falcon vs. Marvin Falcon's last Fight Night battle came against Hannah Rucker and Marvin, who started this fight backwards in its red square in hopes of tanking a hit to the rear and attack with its own primary weapon. Falcon hits and flips Marvin with its spinning drum. Falcon did not have to engage much before Marvin hit the arena wall and lost one of its hinged teeth. As Marvin tried to spin up regardless, it became unbalanced and Falcon quickly changed direction, landing a hit which popped Marvin up into the air. Falcon's minibot, Weasel, was pushed away but the main bot managed to shred one of its opponent's tires. Despite its weapon being largely useless now, Marvin was able to use its flat rear end to push Falcon side on into the screws. Falcon escaped and spun up both of its drums, delivering another harsh shot to Marvin's back. The minibot continued to torment Marvin, and as Falcon came in for a big hit, Hannah Rucker's machine was overturned. Falcon opted to grind against Marvin with one of its drum spinners, and the upside-down Marvin attempted to spin up again, unbalancing itself but dealing a blow to Falcon's minibot in the closing stages. The judges awarded Falcon a unanimous 3-0 decision. However, Falcon's 1-2 record was not enough to make the Top 32.

"The bird bird bird, the bird's the word. Everybody heard of this bird and they are scared. Oh *bird call* It's FALCON!"

"This bot's one of the Whyachis, and destruction comes in threes. First hit, you're shakin'. Second hit, you're breakin'. Third hit, you're dead. There's no time for another rhyme. It's FALCON!"

"This bot is punching the clock, then he's punching you. The only break he's taking is when he's breaking you. You came to the box dressed that way?! Don't you know it's causality Friday? It's FALCON!"
