Centurion was a competitor robot in series 3 and 4 of Robot Wars. It was a blocky blue robot with front lifting forks and a rear axe. It never achieved much, only defeating Excalibur, but was a unique robot. After Blade's Big Bruva and Trident dropped out of Series 4, Centurion was given the number 31 seed. However, it was teamed up on by its opponents and defeated in the first round. The captain, Ray Tait, joined the Sir Chromalot team for Series 5, 6 and both Extreme series.
Like many Robot Wars competitors, the Centurion team entered Techno Games. They entered the Rope Climbing event with Skeletron, an innovative robot that moved like a human and was based on a skeleton.

[edit] Series 3
Excalibur used its axe twice at the start of this match. Centurion used it's axe to less effect, and got stuck on the arena spike. It drove under Excalibur and dragged it into Sir Killalot twice. Excalibur then drove into Sgt. Bash, before being pulled into the house robots by Centurion. The axes of Centurion and Excalibur got locked together before Excalibur was immobilised. Coming up against 101, Centurion stood in between them and a grudge match against King Buxton. The robots moved around each other - 101 was lifted twice by Centurion, but was not flipped. Both robots used their weapons. 101 pushed Centurion but one of Centurion's chains was broken by a spike in the arena floor.
[edit] Series 4
Before this battle, the other two teams had agreed to team up on the seeded Centurion. Splinter and Centurion clashed, and Centurion attempted to lift it. Small Torque rammed into it, and Centurion broke down. Killalot broke Centurion's flipper and pitted it, eliminating it from the competition.
