The Orlando Commando was a middleweight robot built by Team O-Town which fought in Season 3.0 and 5.0 of Comedy Central BattleBots.
It was a silver, cutoff-cone-shaped full-body spinner which used two large teeth to deal damage. It won two battles in its rookie season, but was defeated in the final preliminary round. After a one season hiatus, the team returned for Season 5.0 but was forced to withdraw.
As such, The Orlando Commando never competed on television.
The team that built The Orlando Commando also built the lightweight Major Divot for Season 5.0. Though it did compete, it only managed a 1-1 career record.
Outside BattleBots[]
After BattleBots, The Orlando Commando competed as Killjoy and had a great deal of success.
