Panzer was a tracked robot that competed in Series 3 of Robot Wars. It was a small box-shaped robot armed with an interchangeable disc cutter and spikes with large tracks on either side which made it invertible. Panzer won its first two rounds in Series 3 before breaking down in the heat final against Evil Weevil. The robot returned in Extreme Series 1 with a larger, slightly wedged body under the name Panzer Wraith, but was defeated by X-Terminator in its only battle of the series.

[edit] Series 3
Panzer drove up Undertaker in its first battle, which was then bounced around by the arena spikes. Undertaker could not move because of control difficulties, so Panzer won the judge's decision. It was a disappointing performance from a previous year's heat finalist, but Panzer moved forward to fight Challenger 2. Panzer's rubber tracks continually drove up Challenger's low shape, but finally Panzer managed to pit Challenger 2. In the heat final, however, Panzer never moved off the start. Evil Weevil ran into Panzer several times, before Panzer was picked up by Killalot and pitted. Many argue that the match should have been re-fought, but it was not.
[edit] Extreme 1
Panzer Wraith competed in a Mayhem against X-Terminator and Cataclysmic Variabot. X-Terminator and Cataclsymic Variabot exchanged axe blows from the start, while Panzer Wraith rammed them both with its saw. Teaming up with X-Terminator, the two robots attacked Cataclysmic Variabot from both sides. Panzer Wraith hit a vital part of Cataclysmic Variabot, immobilising it before X-Terminator shoved it into a CPZ and rammed it into a side wall. Panzer Wraith drove up X-Terminator and flipped itself over, but recovered. X-Terminator's axe slammed through Panzer's rubber track, leaving it unable to move. X-Terminator activated the pit, and Panzer Wraith was unable to resist as X-Terminator pitted it, as only one track was moving properly.
