Phere's Season 5.0 appearance.
Phere was a superheavyweight robot that fought in the final three seasons of BattleBots. It was essentially a 36-inch round spinning dome with corkscrew-like blades as well as a front spiked wedge. Phere was rather successful, reaching the quarterfinals of Season 3.0. After Season 3.0, the robot was revised to have a "donut blade" going around the bottom of it, but this new addition caused Phere to lose its first battle in Season 4.0. In Season 5.0, the robot was completely revised, but lost its first battle again.
Builder Gaylan Douglas described his robot's look as a "cross between an evil dragon and Darth Vader."

Season 4.0
Phere's Season 4.0 appearance.
Phere had some minor modifications done to it for Season 4.0, including a new "donut ring" which surrounded the outside of the robot. However, this addition proved to be Phere's demise in its only battle against Little Blue Engine, where after one of Little Blue Engine's rams two of Phere's safety switches got caught in the donut ring and torn off, meaning the robot was immobilized. Phere then got shoved into hazards until it was counted out and eliminated from the tournament.
