Thing 2 was the Adams Family's entry in Series 3. The wedge shape was identical to the original Wild Thing, but its weaponry (a lifting arm fitted with a spike) was on the back of the robot instead of the front. However, this weapon was rarely used as it preferred to use its wedge shape to tip its opponents over, much like Roadblock.

[edit] Series 3
Thing 2's first battle was against Prizephita. Prizephita got under Thing 2 at the start and tried to flip it, but then Thing 2 tried to flip Prizephita using its spike. Thing 2 flipped it and Prizephita got stuck on the arena wall. The house robots then attacked, and Thing 2 was put through. After an fast-moving push-and-shove against All Torque, Thing 2 pushed it into Shunt, whose axe knocked out All Torque's receiver. This put Thing 2 through to face Cerberus. Cerberus almost flipped Thing 2, then rammed it into the arena wall. Thing 2 caught Cerberus, pushed it over the flames, and rolled it over.
Thing 2 met the defending champs Panic Attack in the finals, and was looking promising. However, Panic Attack flipped it onto its front, leaving it immobilised.
