Robot statistics correct as of its most recent appearance on the show | |
Pitbull was a robot with a pair of jaws for clamping opponents. Its design was largely based on a large dog, but was shaped like a barrel so that it could roll back onto its wheels when flipped. It also had "PTO" (Please Turn Over) written on the underside. Pitbull defeated heat favorites Behemoth to reach the Semi-Finals in Series 3, but was defeated by Firestorm. Like several other Semi-Finalists from Series 3, it did not enter any series outside it debut. Pitbull was later sold on eBay to a school in South Wales.

[edit] Series 3
Pitball entered into Heat B. Sump Thing was the faster robot in its first round, and immediately attacked Pitbull with its hammer. However, Pitbull pushed it into the flames, where Sump Thing was immobilised. Pitbull could not bite it, but Sergeant Bash used its cutters and almost cut Sump Thing in half. Sir Killalot pitted Sump Thing, and Pitbull shoved Technophobic onto the flame pit in the second round to progress to the Heat Final. There, it met Behemoth. This was a controversial battle. At the start Behemoth immediately flipped Pitbull, to reveal the 'PTO' written on the bottom. The house robots then turned Pitbull the correct way up. Both robots pushed each other and Behemoth was escaping from Sir Killalot when an arena spike came up from the arena floor and knocked Behemoth on its side. Pitbull drove over some smaller spikes next to it, but just bounced up and down instead of being flipped. Sir Killalot and Dead Metal attacked Behemoth.
In the Series Semi-Finals, Pitbull met Firestorm. Pitbull fell from the competition in exactly the way Behemoth did- by being flipped over by the arena spike. With no way of righting, Pitbull was defeated. This was Pitbull's only appearance.
