TriMangle was a superheavyweight robot built by Korey Kline of Team Loki which competed in three seasons of Comedy Central BattleBots.
It was originally a four-wheel drive robot armed with an angled triangular spinning blade which was actuated so the team could change its height. After losing in the preliminary rounds to Hoobot, in Season 3.0, TriMangle earned revenge over it in Season 4.0 and made the Round of 32, losing to Vladiator. For Season 5.0, it was redesigned to be a two-wheel drive robot with a red and black aesthetic, but lost its first battle to Ogre.
