BattleBots: Sin City Slugfest

BattleBots: Sin City Slugfest, also known as BattleBots: Champions, is the name given to the sequel spin-off series to BattleBots: Bounty Hunters. It is due to premiere in August 2022 at 8pm PST on Discovery and Discovery+.
The five Bounty winners from 2020 are due to return in an attempt to defend their crowns in a similar knockout format to Bounty Hunters - Gigabyte, Lock-Jaw, Rotator, Skorpios and Witch Doctor. These make up five of the six confirmed episodes, dubbed the Sin City Slugfest Qualifiers. In the final episode, the five winners of their respective qualifier episodes will be joined by former Giant Nut winners Tantrum, End Game and Tombstone to form an eight robot tournament with the overall tournament winner taking home the Golden Bolt trophy.
In January 2022, the Perfect Phoenix team stated they would be exclusively competing in the spin-off competition for 2021, due to conflicting schedule with team captain and driver Tyler Nguyen's school.https://www.facebook.com/TylerNguyen09/photos/a.1918548935112385/2774776459489624/ Other main season absentees Big Dill and Double Jeopardy are eligible to compete in the spin-off, though their participations in the spinoff has yet to be confirmed. Meanwhile, Shatter!, Deep Six, Kraken, HUGE, Lucky, Ghost Raptor, Captain Shrederator, and MadCatter have also been confirmed to be competing.
