EarthShaker in This is Fighting Robots
EarthShaker (Simplified Chinese: 撼地奔牛, translates literally as Shake to Cattle) is a Heavyweight robot built by Team Tame Cow from Yunnan, China that contested the inaugural King of Bots competition. It is a red, and black, four-wheeled, box-shaped robot armed with a pneumatic flipping arm. EarthShaker is very similar in design to Battlebots competitor The Matador.

This is Fighting Robots[]
During the celebrities’ initial selection process, a redesigned EarthShaker was chosen by Sa Beining, and participated in the main competition as part of the Yellow team. It first fought in the second round of the competition, when Beining selected it to fight against Stealth, Switch and Polar Opposite in a four-way melee.
Immediately, EarthShaker turned towards and eventually succeeded in getting underneath Switch, surviving a hammer blow as it threw the British machine into the air. It flipped Switch back onto its wheels after the latter inadvertently threw itself upside-down with its hammer, before sustaining a hit from Stealth which momentarily destabilized the South Korean machine. After briefly bumping into Lightning, EarthShaker reversed and spun round, before driving into Thunder and Switch and flipping the latter over. Moments later, it was pushed sideways by Lightning, although this enabled EarhtShaker to flip Switch over a second time, to enthusiasm from the team and Sa Beining.
From that point, EarthShaker retreated to the corner, spinning and driving within range of an approaching Stealth. This resulted in Stealth ripping its left wheel clean off, instantly immobilizing EarthShaker and eliminating it from the battle, much to Beining’s disappointment. With this, EarthShaker was unable to score a point for Beining’s team, leaving Beining without a point at this stage of the second round. At the end of the round, Sa Beining was required to drop one robot from his yellow team, and after a motivational speech to the rest of his team, Beining removed EarthShaker from his selection, eliminating it from the competition.
