Changes: Odin

Revision as of 04:38, 7 February 2016

Odin2 — Odin II's appearance during Season 5.0.

Odin was a superheavyweight robot which competed in the first and final 3 seasons of BattleBots, as well as Las Vegas 1999 as Ricon, where it placed second overall. It was built by John McKenzie who also built middleweight competitor Ankle Biter. It was originally a box-shaped robot armed with two saw blades which would extend out of the robot. It was revised for Season 3.0 to be Odin II, a Hazard-style robot, with a spinning blade, a wedge and six wheels. After two seasons of early losses, Odin II was revised once more to have an angled spinning bar, also removing two wheels. Odin really had no success after Las Vegas, losing early in every season afterward.

Robot History

Las Vegas 1999

Ricon lv99 — Ricon's Las Vegas 1999 appearance.

Ricon's first ever match was against Abbatoir, who almost forfeited before the match began. As Abbatoir started spinning it's horizontal blade, Ricon went straight at Abbatoir's blade and crashes into the spikestrip. Ricon was now moving around in circles and Abbatoir started moving forward. Abbatoir was moving backwards and Ricon started extending it's saw blades as it was still moving in circles. Ricon backed itself against the spikestrip and Abbatoir was moving forwards and backwards. As Ricon kept backing into the spikestrip, Abbatoir started smoking and was counted out. Ricon won by KO and advanced to the semifinals, where it was scheduled to fight Mechadon. However, Mechadon had technical issues because of its last fight against Ginsu, which damaged one of its drive motors, and was forced to forfeit. This win put Ricon to the superheavyweight finals, where it faced Minion.

Both robots drove at each other head on, with Minion pushing its way past Ricon. Minion's saws were not working, but they still managed to get inside Ricon, allowing Minion to easily push it around twice. After the second push, the mobility of both Minion and Ricon seemed to be heavily impaired. Fortunately for Minion, Ricon was on the spikes and unable to get off. Minion was still able to push Ricon into hazards. The time ran out shortly after and Minion won on a 7-2 judge's decision. This meant that Ricon was eliminated from the tournament.

Ricon wasn't finished, however, as it participated the superheavyweight rumble at the end of the tournament.

Season 1.0

Odin sf00 — Odin's Season 1.0 appearance.

Odin's first and only match in Season 1.0 was against Ronin. Odin was moving around the ramrods and Ronin started lifting Odin with it's rear lifting arm. The time ran out soon after and Ronin won on a close 6-3 judge's decision. This meant that Odin was eliminated from the tournament.

Odin wasn't finished, however, as it participated the superheavyweight rumble at the end of the tournament.

Season 3.0

Due to it's seeding, Odin II was allowed to skip the preliminary rounds of Season 3.0, where it faced Whyachi. Odin II won the match on a 28-17 judge's decision and advanced to the round of 16, where it faced Electric Lunch. The fight was mostly a pushing match, but Electric Lunch had the upper hand by pushing Odin II with its plow against the spikestrip with its blade still spinning. During the match, Odin II's blade was bent upwards and Electric Lunch kept on pushing it until the time ran out. Electric Lunch won on a 26-19 judge's decision and Odin II was eliminated again.

Odin II wasn't finished, however, as it participated the superheavyweight royal rumble at the end of the tournament.

Season 4.0

OdinII sfb01 — Odin II's Season 4.0 appearance.

Due to it's seeding, Odin II was allowed to skip the preliminary rounds of Season 4.0, where it faced New Cruelty. New Cruelty won on a 28-17 judge's decision and Odin II was eliminated from the tournament.

Odin II wasn't finished, however, as it participated the superheavyweight consolation rumble at the end of the tournament.

Season 5.0

Odin returned with some upgrades and it's first opponent is Bucky the Beaverbot. In the battle, Bucky the Beaverbot was damaged heavily by Odin II's spinning blade, and it was knocked out. Odin was able to continue forth and it's next opponent was Angriff.
