Revision as of 14:28, 21 June 2015

Manta is a heavyweight robot armed with a powerful flipper. It first came into action in 2013 and proved to have become a hugly successful machine. However it is flawed in the aspect that it is light in weight making it easy for other robots to chuck it around and its flipper has been so powerful that it has even overturned itself.It is one of the few robots that always makes an appearence, others being Weird mAlice , Ripper Evo , The Saint and Thor .

Time in Robot Wars live events

It has become very successful to date, finishing runner-up in the 2013 European Championships and the 2013 UK Championships . It also finished 3rd in the 2014 UK Championships and won the Robot Wars 2013 Winter Tour. Manta's flipper is extremely potent amongst other UK competitors making it a force to be reckoned with.

Manta was seeded second for this championship and was desprate to get revenge against Eruption. It fought in Heat E against Leveller 2 Mk4 and TX-109. The first battle was a breeze for Manta as it chucked both robots out within 17 seconds! Manta then fought Toxic 2 in the Quarter-Finals where just like what happened in the heat Manta chucked

Toxic around and out of the arena within a few seconds of the round starting. Manta was sure to become a finalist once again however it had to over come Beast first. Manta had made a fatal mistake when it flipped itself over which meant Beast was able to secure victory by flipping Manta out of the arena. Manta had to fight for 3rd place against Big Nipper however Big Nipper pulled out and instead Behemoth was placed against Manta. Behemoth was no match against Manta who like his other victims, flipped Behemoth out.
