Goliath is a heavyweight house robot from the Robots Live! events. Equipped with his crushing claw, able of lifting all Heavyweight robots up in the air and giving them a tour of the arena. Paired with his 2ft custom saw blade, setting sparks fly. Goliath first made an appearance in 2013 and is the fifth house robot created for the live events and the second Robots Live! (third if you count Sgt Bash).
History[]
It was first introduced in 2013, before it was brought in to action, there were promotional videos released for example a introduction video showing off Goliath's power against a washing machine was released by the Robots Live! YouTube account. It's first appearance was in the Winter Tour however it did little combat. Goliath was also seen in the 2014 UK Heavyweight Championships where once again it was never involved. When Goliath is in combat it never seems to use its blade, possibly for safety reasons.
Televised appearances[]
In 2015, Goliath made an appearance on Absolute Genius Super Tech with Dick and Dom, after being converted into a bird-headed robot with a flamethrower from its mouth and a chainsaw instead of its usual circular saw. It was also given a repaint and some of the armour plates were removed. In August 2017, Goliath can be seen on Domino's PizzaGeddon challenge destroying a pizza with its circular saw. In 2016, Goliath made a cameo on Channel 4's 'The Last Leg', where it can be seen lifting up a vehicle with its claw.
Trivia[]
