- Philippa Forrester: "We've established that you've got the smaller weapon"
- Roger Golder: "Well its not the size, its the way its used"
- — Prior to the fight with Bumblebot
Ultor was a green and white dome-shaped robot that fought exclusively in Series 3. It featured aluminium and steel armour, and featured two weapons - a piercing spiked axe and a rear lifter, a weapon combination later used by The Steel Avenger. "Ultor" is the Latin word for "Avenger".
Ultor made the heat final, after defeating Flipper and Bumblebot. The judges had ruled in favour of it in the heat final against Big Brother, but, in a momentous turn of events, the Ultor team approached the Big Brother team, giving up their place to them, believing that the other robot deserved the Semi-Final place more. This selfless act gained Ultor a nomination for the Sportsmanship award, but missed out to Diotoir.
- "We've decided that the judges decision was wrong, in our opinion, and we're allowing you to go on to the next round."
- — Barnaby Golder sacrifices Ultor's place
As a result of its post-battle forfeit, Ultor is one of the very few robots never to have lost a battle.

[edit] Series 3
Ultor's first match was against Flipper. Both robots tried to get in position to use their axe on the other, and it was Ultor who managed to get the first successful strike. It didn't penetrate Flipper's shell, but it was enough; Flipper had been rendered immobile before soon being set upon and turned over by the house robots. Ultor however, attacked Matilda, but was flipped by the arena spike that hid beneath the floor and struck.
- "Ultor is turned up and over! Oh dear, what a dark way to end this!"

In the next fight, Ultor got underneath Bumblebot, and attacked it with its axe. Bumblebot tried to retaliate with its very long axe, but missed. Ultor pushed Bumblebot into the CPZ where Dead Metal sliced off its axe. Ultor pushed the now weaponless Bumblebot into Sir Killalot, who finished it off by pushing it into the pit. In the heat final, Ultor's axe got tangled up with Big Brother flail, and Ultor tried to pull Big Brother over, but couldn't. Big Brother pushed Ultor around the arena, hitting it with its flail until it fell off. Big Brother then got underneath Ultor and nearly flipped it, but Ultor got away, and retaliated with its axe. Ultor was nearly flipped again when it drove onto the arena spike, but it survived, and the match came down to a judges' decision, which was in favour of Ultor. However, the Golders felt that the decision was wrong, so they conceded the match, and their place in the semifinals, to Big Brother.
