Icewave

Season 4

**Icewave** is a robot that competed in Lego Battlebots Season 4 and two fights prior to that. It was originally a blue, orange, and gray robot with interchangeable blades, but was then revised to look more like its 2021 *BattleBots* self: a gray, black, and yellow robot. Each of its two iterations have featured a low frame, a wedge, and for a weapon, a spinning bar powered by an internal combustion engine.

Icewave suffers from reliability issues, as seen on multiple accounts in Season 4. Though it cannot self-right, its weapon carries some good power, and it can do but damage to durable bots.

### Robot History

#### Season 4

After two Fight Night losses, Icewave returned for Season 4 with a complete redesign. It's first fight of the season was against **Quantum**. When the fight began, Icewave got in a couple of hits, but did no damage. Quantum briefly got Icewave into the screws before getting hit again. Icewave then tore off part of Quantum's wedge.

Quantum then got in a bite and put Icewave first into the screws, then under the pulverizer. Quantum then took two more hits before nearly flipping Icewave again, but then lost its crusher tooth. Icewave then flipped it and took off a wheel.
Icewave then took on SawBlaze. SawBlaze immediately rushed Icewave, got under it, and hit Icewave with its hammer saw, taking off part of Icewave's blade. Icewave then spun up twice before SawBlaze took and flipped it over. SawBlaze then split the weapon from the main body; at this point Icewave was dead.

Icewave then faced Overhaul. To start, Icewave was having reliability issues, and struggled to spin up. When he finally spun up, Overhaul absorbed two of its shots and grappled it. Icewave then tore off a wedge of Overhaul before the reliability issues kicked back in. Overhaul then controlled Icewave into the wall before losing another wedge. Icewave then tore into the grappler, taking off the head and a piece of Overhaul's side armor. Soon after, Icewave had finished Overhaul off.

    Icewave then went on to face **Titan** in a match to attempt to reach a higher seed in the tournament. Icewave spun up, but it was Titan who hit Icewave first. Icewave then tried to hit Titan, but struggled to spin up. He got in a hit on the second try. Icewave and Titan then traded more blows; Titan was then pushed into the newly added arena drum and got flipped. Titan got back up, and the two traded more blows for about 20 seconds before Icewave ripped off a piece on Titan's front. As Icewave ripped off another piece, there was visible frame damage on Titan; soon after, Icewave tore about ¼ of Titan off, removing a wheel in the process. At this point Titan was done, and Icewave took the win by KO.

Icewave was given the 10 seed in the tournament, and faced the 23 seed, **Valkyrie**, in the Round of 32. Valkyrie started out by delivering two shots to Icewave; the second hit tore into Icewave's frame. A piece of Valkyrie's blade came out on the third hit. Icewave kept aggressive, and drove Valkyrie into the wall, flipping it. Valkyrie then pushed Icewave into the screws and flipped it, eliminating Icewave from the tournament.

#### Season 5

Icewave will take on Gigabyte for its first fight of Season 5.

Wins: 3
