Fusion was a middleweight robot built by Team Saber which competed in three seasons of Comedy Central BattleBots.

It was a four-wheel drive, invertible robot originally armed with a pneumatic spike for its first two seasons, and then a 360-degree hammer for Season 5.0. In each of its appearances, Fusion featured a radioactive theme with a warning symbol adorning its top panel. Fusion lost both of its competitive fights in Seasons 2.0 and 3.0, but found more success following its redesign ahead of Season 5.0. Here, Fusion won two battles before falling in the Round of 64 to Red Square. Despite its lack of success, Fusion was included in the MiniBots line of BattleBots toys.

Team Saber also competed with lightweights T.U.S.K. and Endotherm.

Robot History

Season 2.0
Fusion vs. Buddy Lee Don't Play in the Street Buddy Lee pushes Fusion to the killsaws. Fusion's first fight was Buddy Lee Don't Play in the Street. Both robots went straight at each other and the stuffed dalmatians were falling out of Buddy Lee's rear. Both robots came face to face and Buddy Lee got its front spike wedged into Fusion. The two robots were stuck together and both robots were pushing each other. Buddy Lee was able to push Fusion right into the killsaws, which finally separates the two robots. After the impact, Fusion stopped moving and it was being counted out. Buddy Lee won by KO at 3:00 and Fusion was eliminated from the tournament.
Middleweight Consolation Rumble Red Scorpion and Fusion take part in the rumble. Fusion wasn't done, however, as it participated the Middleweight Consolation Rumble at the end of the tournament. However, it lost out to Instigator and Space Operations Force.
Season 3.0
Fusion vs. Hazard Hazard hits the top of Fusion. Fusion gets pinned under the spikestrip by Hazard. Due to previously competing in Season 2.0, Fusion was able to skip the preliminary rounds of Season 3.0, where it eventually fought the Season 1.0 middleweight champion Hazard. In the match, Hazard went straight at Fusion and Hazard's blade caused damage to the front of Fusion. After Hazard pushed Fusion on the killsaws, Hazard pushed Fusion under the spike strip. Fusion was being counted out and Hazard won by KO at 2:16. This meant that Fusion was eliminated from the tournament again.
Middleweight Consolation Rumble Fusion also entered the Middleweight Consolation Rumble. It survived until the end of the rumble, but it lost out on a spot in the Royal Rumble to Instigator and Alabama Slammer.
Season 5.0

Fusion vs. Red Square Fusion fighting Red Square. Fusion advanced to the final preliminary round, where it faced Red Square. Red Square won on a close 25-20 judges' decision and Fusion was eliminated from the tournament once again.
