Inverse

Season 4

**Inverse** is a robot that competes in Lego Battlebots and is currently in Season 4. It is a blue and white, two wheel drive, invertible robot armed with a powerful vertical spinning disc.

Inverse is known for its flexibility and is a fan favorite on YouTube. Its whole body can rotate 360 degrees, and it can destabilize itself to become a horizontal spinner. It has been known to act as a lifter, a hammer saw, and a horizontal spinner. This has led there to be belief that Inverse's design is a combination of **Uppercut**, **Whiplash**, and **SawBlaze**. It is currently the most versatile robot, and it is said by some that there are infinite attacks for this bot.

Team Inverse is who built the robot; they once built a robot called Spick 'n' Span, but it is currently too light to compete. They are also working on another vert for Season 5; this spinner is called **Rewind**; although not as versatile as Inverse, it has about the same weapon power.

It has proven a brute force in its first three matches, and is also fairly durable.

*"Gotta love Inverse, being a combo of SawBlaze, Whiplash, and Uppercut"*- **Neverwave**

Inverse was named Rookie of the Year after its performance and popularity in Season 4.

### Robot History

#### Season 4

Inverse was first up against **Claw Viper**. Both bots were trying to take out the other to start, but Inverse soon landed a huge hit to the wedges of Claw Viper, tearing some off. The fight went on with Claw Viper getting some good control until Inverse came in with another huge hit. Inverse then landed some more massive shots and sent Claw Viper out.

Inverse, at 1-0, now faced the also 1-0 **Blacksmith**. Inverse, on the second hit, flipped over Blacksmith and tore off a fork. Inverse then chucked Blacksmith out and moved to 2-0.

Inverse was then up against **Bite Force**. The match didn't go on for long, as Inverse got the best of almost every shot, except for one in which Bite Force flipped Inverse. Inverse, however, came back with a hit that flipped Bite Force over, and then hit him again only to turn him back over. Inverse then spun up and landed a ***massive*** uppercut that exploded Bite Force, splitting it into at least 3 known parts.

Inverse then faced fellow 3-0 bot SawBlaze. SawBlaze and Inverse both spun up their weapons before Inverse hit SawBlaze, recoiling heavily from the shot. SawBlaze then rushed Inverse into the wall and chopped off two of its weapon supports. Inverse, however, inverted itself and spun up before flipping itself again.

Inverse, after getting briefly controlled by SawBlaze, was able to make itself a horizontal spinner, and tore off a fork on SawBlaze in this form. It then went back to a vertical before SawBlaze deflected it again and put it under the pulverizer. SawBlaze then controlled it out of the arena.

Inverse was given the 6 seed for the tournament, and got pitted against HyperShock 2016, the #27 seed. To begin, Inverse somehow lost a weapon support, but flexed itself over to deliver hits. Inverse then flipped HyperShock over. The two then went into the corner, with HyperShock losing a fork after deflecting Inverse. Inverse then spun up and nearly threw HyperShock back over on one hit, and did on the following hit. The next hit, however, came as a shocker as Inverse tore out the drum spinner on HyperShock and ricocheted itself into the wall. This put Inverse to the Round of 16 to face Whiplash. When the fight began, Whiplash got in a deflect, but Inverse somehow stayed stable. Inverse then spun up and tore the lifter off of Whiplash, and flipped it two hits later. Inverse then snapped off both pieces of Whiplash's front armor, but couldn't do much further damage as he flipped himself. However, Inverse got Whiplash in the screws, and soon threw it out.

Inverse then took on Mad Catter in the Quarterfinals. The two immediately clashed, and Inverse then spun up, but was deflected by Mad Catter. Inverse nearly threw itself out on the recoil, and almost did so on another hit. Inverse, however, then landed a pair of shots to the Cat's rear end. Mad Catter then finally got in a hit with the vertical spinner (maybe because it was the first time in the match they spun it up) and flipped Inverse before landing another deflection. Mad Catter then threw Inverse out with a ram.

#### Season 5

Inverse took on Electric Boogaloo in its first fight of Season 5. The first 2 collisions were close, as neither bot got the advantage. Inverse flipped Electric Boogaloo on the following shot, which allowed him to carry Boogaloo into the screws. From there, Inverse was able to lift Electric Boogaloo out and move to 1-0.

Inverse then took on Metal Fury in its second season fight. Inverse started with some shots on Metal Fury, but flipped itself as well. The 2 bots exchanged several small blows, but neither bot seemed to have the advantage. Inverse then flipped Metal Fury and ripped off the wedge. Metal Fury was flipped, so he was now done. Inverse moved to 2-0.

Inverse then took on the 3-0 Recoil in its 3rd fight. Recoil began with a small shunt and then Inverse nearly threw itself out. Recoil and Inverse then both got flipped on the next shot. Recoil then chucked Inverse across the arena, nearly throwing him out. Inverse then ripped off a fork of Recoil, but Recoil took control after that. Recoil then chucked Inverse out successfully.

Inverse got the #9 seed in the Round of 32, and faced Uppercut. Uppercut went into this fight using a special wedge and a smaller bar. Both bots spun up with Inverse sending Uppercut into a backflip. Inverse then got a hit on the back side, followed by Uppercut somehow flipping itself. Uppercut got a hit in, but it really had no effect as Inverse then put him on top of the screws. Inverse then tried for several seconds to life Uppercut out, and while the screws were jammed, Uppercut was then finally lifted out by Inverse. This put Inverse to the Round of 16 where he would face Hydra.

Hydra began the fight by deflecting a shot from Inverse and flipping it in no time. Inverse then almost deflected itself out, but was able to flip Hydra. Both bots trades more shots, with Hydra flipping Inverse, but losing wedges while doing so. However, Hydra then got its flipper ripped off; this moved Inverse to the quarterfinals, where he would take on Season 1 champ, and #1 seed, End Game.

#### Wins/Losses

Wins: 10
Losses: 4

### Outside Lego Battlebots

After Season 4, Inverse quickly spread to multiple YouTube channels. On **Jabez Salamanca**'s channel, it lost a close match to **Rocketfire** after ripping off its flipper. It is estimated that something inside Inverse broke, causing it to stop working. It was stated by Jabez that Inverse wasn't very durable on his channel and it was scrapped after going winless. Sad Times also made a version of Inverse, with a bigger body that helps the weapon supports not get eaten up, like they did when he took on SawBlaze in my series.

In **Havokbots**, Inverse appeared in episode 2 of the 2023 competition. It was shown in hype shots flexing around and destroying some Lego pieces. It was matched up against **Hank**, and ended up winning the fight after splitting Hank in half.

Inverse was also built by **Ballistics Test Robotics**, who won the Account Mayhem with Nemesis. It possesses a 3D printed spinner, and nearly the same features except for it being slightly longer. Inverse would participate in Lego Battlebots Challengers on that channel, where it would score a knockout win over Battlebots Explained mascot Blue Flame.
