Gammacide was a superheavyweight robot built by the Gamma Brigade, which competed in two seasons of Comedy Central BattleBots.

It was box-shaped robot armed with a front-mounted lifting plow. Gammacide had moderate success, making it to the televised rounds of Season 5.0. According to team member Mike Okerman, "Gammacide was built because some many robots were becoming boxes with wedges or plows. So instead of our more experimental designs, Gammatron and Namreko 3000, we figured we'd make a box with a plow." The whole chassis was the same as what was used on Gammatron. Since Gammatron was heavier due to the walker weight bonus, when Gammacide was built, it naturally became a superheavyweight.

The team behind Gammacide returned to BattleBots in 2018 with Gamma 9.
