Robot statistics correct as of its most recent appearance on the show | |
Raizer Blade was a competitor from the third and fourth series. A basic plough-shaped design, it had a very reptillian paint-job, and had a large lifting arm as its main weapon. It also had a rear weapon; in Series 3, it was a chainsaw, whilst a bludgeoning spike (called the Crucifix of Doom by the team) replaced this in Series 4. Raizer Blade managed to make the heat final of Series 4, losing to Hypno-Disc. The team also entered Series 2 with Kill Dozer.

[edit] Robot History
[edit] Series 3
Raizer Blade was by far the quicker robot in its first battle against Red Dragon. It had the upper hand until it got ambushed by Killalot and Bash. It went through after Red Dragon broke down and got pitted by Killalot. In the second match against Suicidal Tendencies, it started the quicker again and it was an even fight until one of Suicidal Tendencies's tracks broke. Raizer Blade pushed it towards the pit, but mistimed its shove and drove slightly in itself. It couldn't get away, but Sir Killalot, trying to nudge it in, set it free. The fight ended in a judge's decision and Suicidal Tendencies won, with the lack of control showed by Raizer Blade as a key factor in its loss.
[edit] Series 4
In the Eliminator, the team were drawn against Hypno-Disc and The Predator. The team nearly succeeded in flipping Hypno-Disc, and went through after The Predator's batteries were ripped out. However, it suffered significant damage, and only beat Terror Bull after it set its tail on fire and the black robot broke down over the flame pit. Raizer Blade then faced Hypno-Disc again in the Heat Final, where it was booed by the audience, despite the problems it was suffering from.
- "...pitting the heavyweight boxing champion of the world in against my great-great-gran...Raizer Blade is bleeding to death..."
- — Jonathon Pearce describing the match up
Hypno-Disc knocked out Raizer Blade with one hit, leaving it immobile against the arena flamethrowers, then smashed off one half of its armour.
