Gladiator Robots

The Gladiator Robots are a set of Mecha featured in Knights of the Multiverse Season 1. They are a series of Super Robots created by the L.O.S.R. organization, many of them modeled to look like Greek or Roman gladiators, made in the express purpose of acting as units for their other Super Robots and Droids to test their powers on. As such, most of these don't possess many - if any at all - special powers/moves.

## Challenger 1

Challenger 1 is a robot from New Tetsujin-28.

### Abilities

* Super Strength
* Boosters

Challenger 1 has thrusters built into its feet.

* Heat-Resistant Armor

Challenger 1's armor makes it resistant to most heat-based attacks.

## Veracruz

Veracruz is a robot from New Tetsujin-28.

### Abilities

* Super Strength
* Flight

### Notes

In the original series, Veracruz was actually the real Tetsujin 28 with armor put over it after it was stolen by the villains of the episode it was featured in, the Death Merchants, so they could make a profit from its power. For obvious reasons, this has been changed to make "Vera" its own, distinct machine. However, it does still maintain a few carryovers from Tetsujin in this series, like using its "roar" from said series.

## Notes

As can be clearly seen, all of the Gladiator robots are the robots-of-the-week from the 1980 Tetsujin 28 remake, mainly as a way to include some more honestly rather cool mecha-mook designs. But given that a good number of them don't possess all that many outlandish powers as the other Mecha featured in this series, them being given the role of "test dummies" felt appropriate, as well as to show a way to show off some of the powers for either the Robot-of-the-week or the people in Atros's posse.
