This was the best robot in this show, and possibly in the series. It had a very original design of an scorpion arm that crushed with a force of 3 tonnes! It was hard to control in the gauntlet, but bashed its way past the ram rig and pushed Shunt into the safe zone. It scored the first goal in the trial. It was brilliant in its semi-final - it trapped Inquisitor before crushing its flail support. Unfortunately Inquisitor escaped, and Razer was mysteriously immobile

Razer

Razer was a contestant on Robot Wars

Series 2

File:Razer.gif This was the best robot in this show, and possibly in the series. It had a very original design of an scorpion arm that crushed with a force of 3 tonnes! It was hard to control in the gauntlet, but bashed its way past the ram rig and pushed Shunt into the safe zone. It scored the first goal in the trial. It was brilliant in its semi-final - it trapped Inquisitor before crushing its flail support. Unfortunately Inquisitor escaped, and Razer was mysteriously immobile.

Series 3

Round 1-Razer vs. Backstabber Razer was the much faster robot in this battle. It drove at Backstabber but could not get a grip of it with its pincer. Instead, it immediately pushed Backstabber into the pit Round 2-Razer vs. Aggrobot Razer immediately went on the attack, clawing through Aggrobot's armour. Both robots drove around, with Razer avoiding Aggrobot's spike. Razer managed to push Aggrobot and crumple its rear armour. However, without warning Razer became immobilised - its self-righting mechanism had activated and jammed the wheels off the ground. As in series 2, Razer was out because it had broken down

Series 4

Round 1-Razer vs. Robochicken vs. Velocirippa Razer immediately drove into Robochicken and crushed its side. Velocirippa then rammed Razer, before it got crushed. Razer pushed and squeezed Robochicken, and lifted it with its crusher. It put Robochicken on the flame pit, but Robochicken escaped. Razer then crushed it again, while Robochicken tried to use its 'pecker'. While Robochicken attacked Dead Metal, Razer pushed Velocirippa over the flame pit, immobilising it Round 2-Razer vs. Milly Ann Bug Razer drove in immediately and crushed Milly Ann Bug's rear section. It lifted Milly, and her hair caught fire. Razer then crumpled its front section, and tried to break the two domes apart. Razer then methodically chopped off all of Milly Ann Bug's wheels! Round 3-Razer vs. Pussycat This battle was always going to be great, with two brilliant weapons meeting each other. When it started, the robots hit each other, and Pussycat escaped Razer's grip. Razer then got stuck under the arena wall, as one of its components failed. Pussycat then attacked the rear of Razer, ripping its rear half apart (especially one of the rear wheels). In the meantime Ian Lewis, Razer's driver, had turned his back on the battle. Shunt attacked Razer, and Dead Metal put it into the pit

Series 5

Round 1-Razer vs. Big Nipper Not a good start for Razer. It charged at Big Nipper - and on contact the left self righting wing flew off. Whoops. But, with the wing hanging by it's cable like a broken limb, they still clawed into Big Nipper and ran them round the ring. Razer won - and I wonder if that is the height of their mechanical problems this time. Round 2-Razer vs. Widow's Revenge This was going to be good. Razer decided to lay into Widows Revenge and crushed into it's shell. The Widows had forgotten to fit a wire guard, and the wire touched the shell and shorted out the whole lot. Razer showed no mercy, and neither did the House Robots. There wasn't a great deal left of Widows Revenge at the end as it dropped down the pit. But it was too wide and didn't go down. Round 3-Razer vs. Rick Razer got plenty of crushes in here, and Rick was never really able to challenge. Razer into the semis. Round 4-Razer vs. Spawn Again Razer got some good crushes on Spawn and knocked it out quite quickly. The flipper went, and that was it. Razer still hasn't broken down yet... Round 5-Razer vs. S3 This was a fairly easy win for Razer, who got a quick grip on S3. S3 was one of the best new robots, but the world champ was too much for it. Round 6-Razer vs. Firestorm 4 Razer quickly got Firestorm in its grip, and bent the pneumatic rams. Firestorm was reduced to the charge and hope tactic. It charged at Razer and shoved it accross the ring very fast and tried to knock it down the pit. They missed serveral times, and the fight went to Razer. Who still haven't broken down. Round 7-Razer vs. Bigger Brother The efforts of everyone in the pits meant Bigger Brother made it out into the ring for the final. But Razer got it in an early grip, and Bigger Brother never really recovered. It went to the judges, but the crushing force of Razer took the title against the new crowd favourite. Razer become the new champs, and they didn't break down for the first time ever (in the UK competition).

Series 6

Round 1-Razer vs. Brutus Maximus vs. Raging Reality vs. WASP Razer buried its jaw into Brutus' wooden top, puncturing them again and again. Razer then dug his claw into Raging Reality. W.A.S.P., on the other hand, wasn't getting their spike into good use. Raging Reality pushed W.A.S.P. into Sir Killalot who finally put his spinning lance into good use, drilling a large hole along the side of W.A.S.P. W.A.S.P. was no more. Razer punctured Brutus again and this time, one of Brutus' (bicycle) wheels went flying off right into the Pit! Cease was called. Razer and Raging Reality move on to the next round. Round 2-Razer vs. Cyrax Razer dug their jaw into the large pyramid bot, pushing them into Mr. Psycho. Mr. Psycho decided that is first victim was going to be Cyrax. WHAM! Down came the hammer taking off a blinking light. Cyrax then flipped Razer and kept them on their sides, trying to keep them from self-righting, but Razer eventually did. Cease was called. Razer won. Round 3-Razer vs. Raging Reality Razer grabbed hold of the Knight of the Relm and introduced them to the Matriarch of Mayhem who at this point had her flywheel facing Raging Reality. Razer pushed RR into Matilda's disc, ripping off an entire side panel! RR broke down and was counted out by Refbot. They were then flipped and pitted. The UK champs are through to the Series Semi-Finals! Round 4-Razer vs. Wild Thing 2 No surprise here. Razer simply dug his spike right into Wild Thing. Wild Thing escaped and the two robots drove side by side. Wild Thing's disc wasn't working effectively as Razer buried his claw into Wild Thing again. Wild Thing escaped once more, but then Razer grabbed hold of them again and buried his claw right into Wild Thing's wheel. Both robots started spinning madly in place. Sgt. Bash set Razer alight as Wild Thing escaped, but they were losing control of their robot. Razer grabbed hold of Wild Thing one last time. They pushed them into the Pit Button and lowered them into the Pit. Razer moves on! Round 5-Razer vs. Dantomkia Aw, crap. You're up against the World Champions and the House Robots in this fight are Sir Killalot and Mr. Psycho?! Oh, whoa is you, Dantomkia. Razer simply dug his claw into Dantomkia, but the newbies fought back, pushing Razer into the arena wall. Razer then continued buring his claw into Dantomkia and pushing them into Mr. Psycho. The hammer glanced off of Dantomkia. Dantomkia then pushed Razer into Sir Killalot as time ran out. The judges decided that Razer would be moving on to the Grand Final. Round 6-Razer vs. Terrorhurtz Terrorhurtz had a very powerful axe, but Razer showed no mercy. They avoided the axe and dug their claw into Terrorhurtz's plexiglass panel. Terrorhurtz tried to fight back with the axe, but they were missing Razer completely. Razer pushed Terrorhurtz into Shunt, who then axed Terrorhurtz. Terrorhurtz escaped and then lined up for another strike, but then they got a spasm from an ineffective axe blow and Razer got under it and buried his claw into Terrorhurtz again. Razer dragged Terrorhurtz into the Pit Button and then lifted Terrorhurtz up and lowered them into the Pit. Razer goes through and is one step closer to retaining the title! Round 7-Razer vs. Tornado At the beginning of every fight, Razer would always come out and bury his claw into the other robot and disable them...but now the tables have turned!! Tornado slammed into Razer. Razer then tried to use his horn to grab onto Tornado's "Anti-Crusher Weapon", but Tornado then slammed into Razer again. Razer was able to grab onto the cage, but then Tornado smacked into them again. Tornado's lawnmower blade broke, but forget it! Tornado still has the cage! The Anti-Crusher Weapon was so big that Refbot had to be forced into the CPZ! Tornado slammed Razer into the disc button. The Disc was activated, but it was hardly involved in this fight. Razer was stuck behind the disc button, allowing Tornado to come in and add insult to injury!! Refbot tried to free Razer, but then Tornado slammed into Razer again. Razer got unstuck, but there was no escape. Razer was then pushed into the CPZ and Dead Metal buried his saw into Razer's srimech. Tornado then pushed Razer into Shunt, who axed and lifted Razer up. Tornado pressed the Pit Button. Poor Razer was losing fast...until, they were finally able to grab hold of Tornado's cage and raise them up! Now Razer had to push Tornado down the Pit, but the Anti-Crusher Weapon was too big. Tornado just hovered over the Pit. Jonathan Pearce called Tornado's Anti-Crusher Weapon an Anti-Pit Device! Cease was called after this fantastic fight.

This was a very close decision. It took nearly 45 minutes for the judges to decide who would be the next UK Champion. Later, the teams were brought up to Craig's box. After looking at style, control, damage and agression, the judges decided that the winners are...

TORNADO! Razer were guttered, but all winning streaks have to end eventually. Tornado had been seeded the lowest in the 6th Wars. Now they are seeded the highest! Phillipa came into the box and handed the Tornado team their trophey.
