Misty the WonderBot

Misty the WonderBot's Season 5.0 appearance.

Misty The WonderBot was a middleweight robot that competed in the final 2 seasons of BattleBots. It was a blue robot armed with a vertical cutting disc, which could be changed to a horizontally-spinning blade depending on the opponent fought (this originally could be done mid-match, but after it had gyroscopic issues during its first match the blade was locked down). It was built by Cassidy Wright, daughter of Will Wright, designer of The Sims, Simcity and Spore. Misty The WonderBot performed decently in competition, winning 7 out of its total 9 fights and reaching the televised rounds of both seasons it competed in. Misty The WonderBot also competed in Steel Conflict after BattleBots ended, but has retired since.

Its name was likely a pun on the horse Misty the Wonder Horse.

Season 4.0

Misty The WonderBot's Season 4.0 appearance.

Misty the WonderBot's first ever match was against Bumper. Bumper never got up to high speed in the entire match. Misty kept banging it with its weapon and pushed its opponent up against a wall. Misty did have a little trouble bringing its weapon to bear, though, because as it tilted to keep from gyroscopically interfering with its steering, it became difficult to position for a hit. But in the end, Misty dominated the match, never letting up and won a 32-13 decision.

Misty the WonderBot's next opponent was Chameleon in a bout between two teams known for making PC games (Misty's Will Wright created The Sims and Simcity and Chameleon seemed to have been built by people who worked on Westwood's Command & Conquer). Misty quickly took a wheel off Chameleon. After that, its drum banged on the floor whenever it tried to move. The bots circled each other and hit a few more times with their nasty spinning weapons. Misty ripped off more chunks, and Chameleon popped Misty up with the drum and got under Misty for a push. Eventually though, Chameleon's drum stopped and let the smoke out. Misty won a 27-18 decision.

Misty the WonderBot's next opponent was Deus Ex Machina. Misty came over and smacked a few nice dents in Deus's armor, and it lost one side of its drive. Misty kept hitting Deus, and soon the bot was dead.

Psychotron was Misty the WonderBot's next opponent. At one point in the match, Psychotron pushed Misty under the pulverizer and the time ran out soon after. Psychotron won on a 31-14 judge's decision and Misty the WonderBot was eliminated.

Season 5.0

Misty the WonderBot's first opponent this season was Mobster. Mobster got high centered on the exit ramp and was immobile due to its wheels unable to touch the arena floor. As this was happening, Mobster was being counted out and Misty the WonderBot won by KO.

After beating Lobotomy, Misty fought Hazard. The fight began with Hazard getting its bar up to full speed and attacking Misty. This caused sparks before one of the teeth on Misty's spinning bar was torn off, leaving Misty twitching as its weapon spun down. Misty was slammed into again by Hazard, causing plenty of sparks. Misty's mobility was then made very limited as Hazard's next attack ripped off one of Misty's wheels. Misty spun its weapon back up before having its remaining wheel was torn off. Misty's wheelless and motionless body was pushed into the Spike Strip and the Pulverizer to be counted out. This knock out sent Misty the WonderBot out.
