TriDent vs Jersey Devil TriDent's first ever match in BattleBots was against Jersey Devil. TriDent rammed Jersey Devil with great force consecutively. Jersey Devil tried a defensive spin, but to no avail. TriDent didn't land any solid hits after that, only glancing shots and pushes, but Jersey Devil spent the whole match running away. After this, the time ran out and TriDent won on a 30-15 judges' decision. This win put TriDent to the final preliminary round, where it faced Plowbot. |
TriDent vs Plowbot The bots circled each other, and Trident used its far superior speed to get the position it wanted and ram Plowbot into the wall spikes. Trident basically got its way with Plowbot, ramming and shoving Plowbot, pushing it around, and hitting it into the wall spikes. TriDent never seemed to use its lifting arm, though. At one point TriDent rammed Plowbot hard enough to impale itself into it, and the bots had to be separated. In the end, the time ran out and TriDent won on a 36-9 judges' decision. This win put TriDent to the TV rounds, where it faced Space Monkey. |
TriDent vs Space Monkey Space Monkey won on a close 23-22 judges' decision and TriDent was eliminated from the tournament. |

TriDent vs T-Minus   TriDent gets flipped by T-Minus. The two robots met in the center of the BattleBox and TriDent got its arm under T-Minus. It lifted, but T-Minus simply drove off. Inertia Lab's middleweight appeared to be having trouble steering itself to get under TriDent, letting it drive off. Tri-Dent lifted its body off the BattleBox floor before being flipped from the side. The lifter robot drove itself onto the killsaws and sent sparks across the BattleBox floor. As TriDent was still on the killsaws, T-Minus went straight at TriDent and flipped it again. As TriDent was balancing on its front, T-Minus got underneath it and sent TriDent tumbling onto the killsaws. Both robots wandered around the battlebox with T-Minus carelessly cut by the killsaws. TriDent got under T-Minus and started to lift it. It failed its attempt to push T-Minus, who fell off. T-Minus then gave TriDent another full flip from the rear. TriDent went over the killsaws again while its opponent is in pursuit, flipping it onto its back again.
For unknown reasons, TriDent didn't participate the middleweight consolation rumble at the end of the tournament. Even if it did, it wouldn't come back for the Middleweight Royal Rumble due to an incident with Nightmare in the heavyweight consolation rumble which resulted in all the rumbles getting canceled. |
