Dr. Inferno Jr.

Dr. Inferno Jr. (インフェルノジュニア博士 Inferuno Junia Hakase) was a lightweight robot built by Jason Bardis of the Infernolab. It was a flat box with skirts on all sides with a model of a robot on top. It replaced The Missing Link, Infernolab's lightweight entry in Season 1.0 and Long Beach 1999. The robot model was a Tomy Omnibot with arms modified to hold interchangeable weapons. 
These originally consisted of a circular saw and a reciprocating saw that had multiple attachments, along with an extended carbon fiber flap to even out the doctor's drivetrain balance after the Season 3.0 lightweight rumble. In Season 4.0, they were replaced with a pair of custom-cut triangular tri-hook saws attached to circular saw tools. For Season 5.0, the skirts were upgraded to Kelvar, along with new sponsorships while the tri-hook saws remained. Dr. Inferno Jr. was intended to be a novelty entry but proved a fierce competitor thanks to its untouchable ground clearance and precision driving. In addition, its four-wheel drive gave it unparalleled pushing power in the lightweight class. Despite its top-heavy appearance, Dr. Inferno Jr. was only flipped once in its entire career (in an untelevised match against The Crusher). Surprisingly, the Omnibot was only damaged a few times in combat; the body was shattered by Toe-Crusher in Season 3.0, and one arm was snapped off by Afterburner in Season 5.0. Jason Bardis did not have a replacement arm, so he covered the stump in red paint-stained gauze for the televised rounds. The robot was heavily damaged in an untelevised Season 3.0 rumble by Backlash, it's inner aluminum skeleton majorly exposed. In every match, he sportingly let the other roboteers keep the broken pieces. It enjoyed a successful run in BattleBots due to its pushing power, winning two championships, and one Royal Rumble.
Its predecessor, Dr. Inferno, competed at the original BattleBots event at Long Beach. It partnered with another robot named Air Burial to create the multibot Hot Air. Dr. Inferno weighed only 17 pounds, which was the reason behind the pairing. However, Dr. Inferno was much less successful than its successor.
Dr. Inferno Jr.'s main chassis competed on Robotica and in Steel Conflict events under the name Mini Inferno.
Except for the internal aluminum torso skeleton and tri-hook saws, all parts of Dr. Inferno Jr. has been sold or donated. The skeleton, with a smaller Radio Shack Robie Jr. white robot on it, was attached to a 4-wheel-drive box intended for a 15lb division. It was named Dr. Inferno ]I[.
Dr. Inferno Jr even had its own theme song and CD, written by BattleBots music writer Eban Schletter.
Jason Bardis confirmed that Dr. Inferno Jr was going to return as a heavyweight with a spinning disc in the chest instead of the arms. He posted a photo of his computer on Instagram and a CAD can be seen on the screen. This CAD is very similar to the heavyweight he described. Instead, the remake of Dr. Inferno Jr. eventually became known as "Dr. Inferno IV", an antweight bot similar to the preplanned heavyweight CAD concept. However, Jason Bardis would become a judge on the reboot series of BattleBots, so it is unlikely that this will come to fruition.

Later in the rumble, Mecha Tentoumushi smothered Dr. Inferno Jr. again and almost flipped it over. After getting away again it turned its attention to Ziggo momentarily before honing on Trilobot, and then Sallad and Backlash, as it took the latter hostage and rammed other robots using Backlash as a shield. After letting go, Backlash retaliated, but Dr. Inferno Jr. forced Backlash into a corner. It was attacked by Herr Gepoünden before confronting Ziggo once again. At an unknown stage in the rumble, Dr. Inferno Jr. lost its robot head. Although, it was one of few robots still moving in the end, it lost overall to Ziggo.

As Afterburner made contact with the spikes, it ripped the right arm from Dr. Inferno Jr., who then pushed Afterburner around. Afterburner was taken to the screws and under the pulverizer shortly after. The pulverizer flipped Afterburner on its side before it ultimately landed on its back. Dr. Inferno Jr. repositioned Afterburner under the pulverizer and returned to its starting square. Afterburner was being counted out and Dr. Inferno Jr. won by KO. This win put Dr. Inferno Jr. to the Round of 16, where it faced Tentoumushi 8.0.
