Behemoth

**Behemoth** is a Heavyweight competitor which fought in every series of Diotoir's Wacky Rumbles so far.

The real Behemoth was created by brothers Anthony and Michael Pritchard and their father Edward. The brothers competed alongside their friend, Kane Aston, for most of the robot's competitive history. Behemoth's trademark feature was a yellow and black coloured lifting scoop, used to great effect and even able to hoist robots out of the arena.

## Robot History

### Series 1

Behemoth first appear in Heat E against 900, Gabriel and Storm 2. The battle began with Storm 2 getting in from behind and ramming 900 towards the CPZ, followed by Behemoth and Gabriel. Behemoth flips 900 over onto its side and then proceeded to flip Storm 2 over while Gabriel span and hit the underbelly of Storm 2, Behemoth then flipped Storm 2 again and flipped it out of the arena. Behemoth pins 900 to the arena wall while Gabriel span on the spot and smacked Behemoth which allowed 900 and Behemoth to detach and get away. 900 used its drum to damage Gabriel's wheels slightly and damage the underbelly of Behemoth almost chucking it out of the arena. Behemoth soon got revenge and flipped 900 over shunting it to the pit release, where Gabriel who was spinning on the spot fell into. 900 attacked the backside of Behemoth damaging it more and tearing off the scoop as well ripping out one of the wheels before sending behemoth out. Despite Behemoth being taken out, Gabriel was pitted before hand and was eliminated as a result.

The first Head to Head, Behemoth was against Apex. The impact from Apex's blade had caused major internal damage to Behemoth almost immediately. Apex gets a side attack on Behemoth causing some more damage, but the power of the hit made it bounce upwards where Behemoth rammed it and eventually flipped Apex over. Behemoth backs into the pit release but Apex self rights and pursues Behemoth bashing into it bashing it sideways. Behemoth mistimes a flip which allowed Apex to get its weapon into the internals causing some more heavy damage. Behemoth backs up and then flips Apex over. Apex is almost pitted by Behemoth who tries to push it into the pit but was unable to, instead flipping Apex towards the flame pit. Apex self rights and causes more damage to Behemoth but Behemoth flipped it over again, this time dangerously by the side wall. Behemoth flips Apex into the CPZ before getting into position and flipping Apex out.

Next Behemoth faced 900 again. Despite being absolutely destroyed by 900 in the melee, Behemoth, this time managed to flip the deadly drum away from it. Behemoth continued the attack, flipping 900 over and over again. Behemoth then shunted 900 to the side wall where it flipped 900 onto the angle grinder where it eventually toppled out of the arena.

Finally Behemoth faced Beast. The first ramming attack from Beast almost topples Behemoth, but it survives and goes for an attack. Beast attempts to get a good side on attack, but Behemoth flips it only for Beast to get underneath and flip Behemoth over. Behemoth recovered quickly and flipped Beast over making it skid across the arena. Beast struggled to self right as Behemoth came in and chucked it about and towards the side wall. With Beast overturned, Behemoth accidentally got on the top of the overturned Beast, Beast attempted to self right and as a result flip Behemoth out.

Due to each robot winning against each other there was a Heat Final playoff between Behemoth, 900 and Beast. 900 and Beast were the first to make contact, with Beast flipping 900 over, Behemoth came in from the side and assisted Beast with its attack on the deadly drum spinner. 900 used the drum to send Beast into the air causing some considerable damage, as Behemoth continued to flip 900. Both Beast and Behemoth ganged up on 900, however each time they flipped 900, its drum would slash the two machines and damage them. As they continued to flip 900, Behemoth turned against Beast, flipping it over whilst it was on top of 900. 900's movement is controlled further by the two as they push 900 to the side wall, Behemoth flips 900 and soon flips it out.

The Heat Final began with Beast began as the strongest, getting a powerful flip on Behemoth. Beast then proceeded to flip Behemoth over and over and over again, attempting to get it out of the arena but Behemoth kept coming back. Beast soon made a fatal mistake of allowing Behemoth get a side on attack. Behemoth got revenge by flipping Beast onto its back where it was then pinned against the arena wall where Beast is then chucked out.

In the first round of the Grand Final Behemoth faced Big Nipper and TR2. Big Nipper targets Behemoth getting in underneath, only for Behemoth to drive over Big Nipper and only to be flipped by TR2 as it advanced forth. Once more Big Nipper got underneath TR2 which caused it to turn allowing for Behemoth to flip TR2 over. As Big Nipper attacked the overturned TR2, Behemoth flipped both robots over again, TR2 got revenge by flipping Behemoth over and unintentionally flipping them into the pit release which Big Nipper narrowly avoids driving into. TR2 continues its assault on Behemoth until it turned its attentions, Big Nipper does drive over the flipper, while Behemoth came back into the action. Big Nipper is flipped over by TR2 but Big Nipper circles around and lifts TR2 up with Behemoth flipping it on its side. As TR2 laid unable to move on its side, Behemoth was rammed by Big Nipper, before Big Nipper attacked TR2 with behemoth chasing after. Behemoth then flipped TR2 and Big Nipper, with TR2 being knocked out.

First Behemoth faced eventual champion Weird mAlice. Weird mAlice darted rapidly across the arena, only for Behemoth to flip it over but not completely, Weird mAlice followed up the attack by chucking Behemoth across the arena. Behemoth, eventually got Weird mAlice trapped and flipped it over. Weird mAlice self righted but was flipped some more by Behemoth who almost sent Weird mAlice out. Weird mAlice recovered and got away where it got revenge by sending Behemoth flying around the arena. Weird mAlice got Behemoth into a CPZ where it finally managed to trap Behemoth before chucking behemoth out of the arena.

Next Behemoth fought Tsunami. Tsunami darts across the arena to attack Behemoth but misses and slams into the arena wall. Having trouble moving, Tsunami backs away but is trapped by Behemoth who proceeds to flip Tsunami out in the quickest battle of Series 1.

Finally Behemoth fought Big Nipper again. Behemoth started as the strongest flipping Big Nipper over. Behemoth proceeded to chuck Big Nipper around the arena and almost out on a few occasions. Behemoth accidentally mistimed its flip allowing for Big Nipper to have its claw wedged behind the scoop bucket. Now in its clutches, Big Nipper controlled Behemoth's movements and slammed it from side to the other with the mighty claws. Behemoth managed to shunt Big Nipper into the pit release, prompting Big Nipper to drive Behemoth towards the pit, but Behemoth also drove away. As the two tussled some more, Big Nipper managed to move Behemoth around the arena and eventually pitted Behemoth.

### Extreme 1

Behemoth, due to its popularity and fame, fought in the Allstars, in round one it faced Hypno-Disc, Stinger and Suicidal Tendencies. Behemoth darted straight into Stinger, bulldozing them around with Stinger spinning on the spot. Meanwhile Hypno-Disc smashes into the front of Suicidal Tendencies attempting to snap off the scoop or even the claw. Behemoth leaves Stinger behind and flips Hypno-Disc over before flipping Suicidal Tendencies over and almost out of the arena. Hypno-Disc attacks Behemoth again but is flipped again. Behemoth flips Stinger who stabs Behemoth with the as Suicidal Tendencies attempts to corner Behemoth but is flipped over and out for good.

First it fought Thor Thor smashes into Behemoth after going around in circles to get a good area for an attack. Thor get underneath and smashes down with the axe, damaging the insides only after Behemoth mistimed a flip. Thor rams Behemoth into the CPZ before reversing backwards, being pursuded by Behemoth who ends up flipping them over. Behemoth foolishly flips Thor back over again allowing Thor to hammer away once more but as a result both Thor and Behemoth lost their weapons. Thor is flipped once again but self rights and charges towards the scoopless Behemoth and rams it into the side wall. Behemoth is pressurized into the CPZ and shunted around the arena by Thor before eventually becoming immobilised.

Behemoth attempts to flip Stinger but its tricky design and weaponry caused problems. Stinger spun on the spot trying to damage Behemoth but Behemoth flips Stinger around before reversing into the pit release. Stinger pins Behemoth against the side wall, hitting it some more before being flipped again. Behemoth then proceeds to bulldoze Stinger around, brutally flipping them here and there before eventually flipping them out once and for all.

In the final it fought Thor again. As the two charged they immediately fired their weapons causing the two robots be unable to gain an upperhand. Thor, however, manages to get underneath Behemoth and begins to damage the underbelly as well as the scoop, ramming it about. Behemoth attempts to escape with Thor chasing and damaging it more using the powerful axe. Thor slams Behemoth against the side wall and axes away at the vulnerable underbelly.
