SawBlaze

* Season 2
* Seasons 3&4

**SawBlaze** is a robot that has competed in Lego Battlebots since Season 2. It is a bot built by MIT students and is captained by **Jamison Go**. SawBlaze has been in Seasons 2, 3, and 4 of Lego Battlebots; it was originally 2wd and had long front forks. It was upgraded after Season 2 to be lower to the ground and have more durable forks. It also got dual wheels on each side for better traction, though it is still technically 2 wheel drive. It is armed with a powerful hammer saw that has been known to do some good damage. It is also durable, aggressive, and can quickly self-right. It is also very reliable.

SawBlaze is no longer the champion of Lego Battlebots, but was once on a 10-win streak, ahead of End Game (who has won 7 in a row twice.)

SawBlaze's career kicked off with a win over **End Game** in a Fight Night main event after Season 1; the match was extremely close, ending in a 5-4 decision.

SawBlaze then went to Season 2, and although it has just 1 fight, it was given the 19 seed. It beat Rotator in the Round of 32 before being thrown out by Tombstone.

### Robot History

#### Season 2

After beating End Game in a Fight Night, SawBlaze was given the #19 seed, and faced the #14 seed, **Rotator**, who had also gotten the 14 seed in Season 1. The match started with SawBlaze box rushing Rotator, and hitting it with the hammer saw. SawBlaze lost a fork after some more hammer saw whacks, and ended up losing another one as well. However, SawBlaze controlled Rotator into the wall and pinned it there, where Rotator couldn't move.

SawBlaze advanced to the Round of 16 where it faced the 3 seed, Tombstone. SawBlaze started out well, hitting Tom stone with the hammer saw before Tombstone turned around and ripped two forks out in one hit. SawBlaze was able to get a little bit of control, however, before Tombstone ripped out the last fork. Tombstone then took control, tearing out a piece of the bot before throwing SawBlaze out of the arena.

#### Season 3

SawBlaze returned for Season 3 and faced Tombstone, Launchpad, and **OverKill**. Launchpad drew first blood as he threw OverKill up in the air. Launchpad then took OverKill out. Tombstone then got into the mix, trying to get a good hit on Launchpad. However, Launchpad continued to throw it around, and almost took it out. SawBlaze then got in and put Launchpad in the screws, using the hammer saw to tear it apart. SawBlaze and Tombstone took the win.

SawBlaze then advanced to the second round, where it faced Tombstone along with **Uppercut**. SawBlaze and Tombstone teamed up on Uppercut, as SawBlaze was controlling it around, and Tombstone took off a wheel. Uppercut then spun up to try to get a good hit, but bounced off the middle fork on SawBlaze and flipped itself; it was now stuck, giving SawBlaze and Tombstone the win by KO.

SawBlaze and Tombstone then faced each other in the Quarterfinals. The match started with Tombstone not spinning up good, and SawBlaze getting control. Tombstone then ripped off a fork before getting controlled some more; then he did the same thing to a second fork. However, Tombstone's blade was starting to break, and soon it fully broke. SawBlaze, although missing its forks, then got it out of the arena.

SawBlaze advanced to the Semifinals to face **Duck**. SawBlaze immediately controlled Duck into the screws, then into the pulverizer. Duck got a lift in, but SawBlaze then got him in the screws, and tore off one of Duck's front wedges. Soon the other wedge was gone. SawBlaze kept maneuvering Duck into the screws and eventually wore it out.

SawBlaze advanced to the Finals, where it faced End Game. The match started with End Game ripping off one of SawBlaze's forks, but saw blaze countering with control. End Game then ripped off another fork and flipped SawBlaze over. However, SawBlaze broke End Game's spinner with its saw, and took control of the match after that. End Game got in a ram, but SawBlaze continued to get more control and tore a piece of armor. SawBlaze then drove End Game around a bit before using the screws to throw it out. This gave it the Season 3 championship.

#### Season 4

SawBlaze's first match in Season 4 was against Bloodsport. The fight started with SawBlaze slipping right under Bloodsport and carrying it to the screws. Bloodsport's blade appeared to be too high off the ground to hit his opponent, but somehow he ripped off a fork. Then, it was all SawBlaze form there. He got under Bloodsport a few times before breaking its weapon with a ram into the wall. SawBlaze kept ramming Bloodsport from wall to wall until getting it out.

SawBlaze then faced the 1-0 **Icewave** in another main event. SawBlaze rushed Icewave immediately, and broke its weapon before even letting it spin up. Icewave spun up twice before SawBlaze aggressively flipped it over. SawBlaze then tore the weapon and the internal combustion engine from the main frame, further immobilizing it.

SawBlaze then faced a fellow 2-0 bot, **HyperShock**, in another main event. The match started with HyperShock immediately getting under SawBlaze and driving it into two walls. HyperShock then drove it into the screws before SawBlaze did the same thing. A fork then came off of SawBlaze before HyperShock ripped off one. SawBlaze then controlled it a bit before HyperShock ripped off the last fork. However, SawBlaze then got control, taking HyperShock into the wall, then using the screws to throw HyperShock out of the arena and ultimately move to 3-0.

SawBlaze faced Inverse in its final qualifying round fight. SawBlaze immediately rushed Inverse, and when Inverse flipped itself, SawBlaze took advantage. He boxed Inverse in a corner and took out two of its weapon supports. Inverse flipped itself again after spinning up, and SawBlaze drove it into the opposite wall. Inverse, however, destabilized itself to become a horizontal spinner, and took out a fork on SawBlaze before changing back into a vertical. SawBlaze then put Inverse under the pulverizer, and controlled it some more. Inverse flipped itself into a corner again, and SawBlaze then got it out of the arena.

Following its 4-0 performance in Season 4, and due to being the champ, SawBlaze was given the #1 seed for the Season 4 top 32, and faced **High-Speed Collision** in the Round of 32. Immediately HSC spun up and deflected off of SawBlaze's wedge. SawBlaze then hit HSC with the hammer saw before sending High-Speed Collision flying again. High-Speed Collision, however, then delivered a massive hit that split SawBlaze's wedge from the body, but SawBlaze countered by getting HSC stuck on the screws. As a result he won by KO.

SawBlaze then faced the 16 seed, Hydra, in the Round of 16. SawBlaze started by box-rushing Hydra, and threw it into two walls before dropping the hammer saw on it. SawBlaze did some damage, but was then nearly flipped over as Hydra whiffed on a series of flips. SawBlaze then got under it a bunch more, and was doing damage to Hydra when he pinned him in the corner. However, Hydra then landed three lucky flips; the last of these threw SawBlaze out.

SawBlaze was dethroned when he was flipped out by Hydra.

#### Season 5

SawBlaze returned for Season 5 as expected, and it was given the champ, Mad Catter, in the Episode 1 main event. Both bots met up in the center, with SawBlaze getting under on the first exchange. SawBlaze dominated the next 2 exchanges, but Mad Catter then got in a good hit, and to take advantage of it, he slammed SawBlaze into a wall. This ripped off a fork on SawBlaze. SawBlaze then retook control of the fight, throwing Mad Catter into the screws and using the hammer saw to tear off a rear wheel. Mad Catter then got under, and when SawBlaze tried to spin up its hammer saw again, it lost part of the weapon. The fight continued with both bots exchanging blows, and eventually Mad Catter's spinner broke. SawBlaze was getting the better of most of the exchanges, and both bots did major damage to each other. Mad Catter ripped off the other forks, but lost a piece of side armor and a fork. The fight went to a judges' decision, with SawBlaze winning 12-9. This put him at 1-0.

    SawBlaze then took on Whiplash. SawBlaze drew first blood, with Whiplash then making a suplex. When Whiplash flipped itself (somehow), SawBlaze attacked with the hammer saw. Whiplash then pulled off another lift and controlled SawBlaze into the screws, but flipped himself again. SawBlaze took an opening with this, ripping off a piece of armor. For the next minute, it was a back and forth battle of control except for Whiplash losing the lifter. SawBlaze, however, soon got Whiplash out.

SawBlaze will take on **Duck** in its third and final match of the s5 qualifiers.
