Robot History[]
In its qualifier for the Third World Championship, Mechaniac was placed up against the Sri Lankan Supernova machine. This was the first World Championship qualifier battle seen on the televised show, as it was shown during Heat A of the Seventh Wars. In the battle, Mechaniac attempted to flip Supernova, before driving it into the CPZ. Sir Killalot seized it in its claw, lifted it up briefly, and put it down outside the CPZ. Straight away, Supernova charged Mechaniac and was thrown through the air by Mechaniac's flipper. Mechaniac then took a blow from Supernova, causing its rear panel to be shorn off. Supernova then repeatedly attacked Mechaniac's sides and exposed rear, eventually causing the batteries to become dislodged. Mechaniac was no longer moving at this point, and after repeated attacks on its exposed internals from Cassius Chrome, its electronics shorted out and caught fire. After being flipped by the arena floor flipper, Sir Killalot speared Mechaniac from behind with its lance and spun the orange robot around on the end of it. This caused more internal damage to Mechaniac, shorting out its electronics again. Sir Killalot finished the job by dropping it into the pit, and thus the Austrians were eliminated.
