Reaper was a lightweight robot built by Team Caffeine which competed in Seasons 3.0 and 5.0 of Comedy Central BattleBots.

It was a two-wheeled robot armed with a thwacking wedge on a long arm. Reaper did decently, reaching the Round of 32 as a rookie and winning one consolation rumble.

Reaper was scheduled to compete at Season 4.0, but dropped out for unknown reasons.[1] The team that built Reaper also competed with middleweight robot Trocar, which had less success.

Reaper almost scooped The Crusher, but was attacked by Backlash. It was bumped by Dr. Inferno Jr. and later landed a hit. It then got stuck temporarily on Mecha Tentoumushi and was slammed by Gamma Raptor. Reaper played little part in the rumble after this. It was one of few robots still moving in the end, but it lost overall to Ziggo.
