[edit] Series 3

Series 3 appearance

Eric debuted in Series 3, coming up against previous semi-finalists King Buxton. King Buxton immediately lifted Eric, but was then lifted itself by Eric, and lost one of its spike tips. King Buxton pushed Eric near the pit but got stuck on the edge. In an attempt to finish off King Buxton, Eric reversed into it, mistakingly freeing it and driving into the pit itself.

[edit] Series 4

Eric tried to flip both of its opponents in its first battle, but Destruct-A-Bubble was too top-heavy, and Killerhurtz too wide. It managed to lift Killerhurtz onto an angle, but Destruct-A-Bubble was eliminated on the judges decision. This put Eric through against Small Torque. After flipping Small Torque, Eric pushed the invertible robot into a CPZ, where it started smoking and eventually broke down. Eric met Splinter in the Heat Final, and put its flipping arm into use, tipping Splinter onto its side. Splinter self-righted and shoved Eric up against the arena wall. The judges gave the battle to Splinter, who they ruled had been more aggressive.
