Gigabyte

* Season 3-5
* Season 6

**Gigabyte** is a robot built by the **Robotic Death Company** that has competed in Lego Battlebots since shortly before Season 2. It is a red, green, blue, and yellow bot armed with an insanely powerful full-body spinning weapon. Gigabyte is known to destroy either its opponents or itself, but more often its opponents. Gigabyte was the Season 2 champion, destryoing bots such as **Little Devil** and Tombstone.

After Season 2, it was upgraded to be even more powerful than it already was. It lost to **Hydra** in a Fight Night, but regained some success in Season 3 before losing against **HyperShock** and Hydra.

Gigabyte went 2-1 in Season 4 and got the 13 seed. It was deflected out of the arena by Cobalt in the Round of 32, and after going 2-1 again in Season 5, Gigabyte would lose to eventual champion Whiplash. It has been redesigned for Season 6 to have a flame-style design similar to the real-life robot.

### Robot History

#### Season 2

Gigabyte's first match in Season 2 was against **Little Devil**. Little Devil tried using its forks for this fight, and took the first hit quite well. However, Gigabyte then delivered a massive hit that tore off a fork. Before long, another fork was torn off. Gigabyte's spinner then ripped off the middle, and last, fork on Little Devil. However, Little Devil was able to go for over a minute more without taking any more damage, but struggled to control Gigabyte as he couldn't get under him. Gigabyte then delivered a shot that got it out.

Gigabyte advanced to the Round of 16, and faced Aftershock. Gigabyte spun up, and Aftershock did as well. When they hit each other, Aftershock started going unstable. It looked like Aftershock was in the box doing dance moves. When both bots hit each other again, it was crazy as Aftershock was sent upside down but righted itself with the weapon. The move was described as a "360 on a half-pipe". Aftershock then got flipped over again, but couldn't self-right as the weapon wasn't spinning. Gigabyte then got it out of the arena.

Gigabyte advanced to the Quarterfinals, where it faced the 3 seed, Tombstone. The match started with both bots spinning up their weapons, and both slightly recouping from the big hits. Neither was showing aggression or control at the moment. Tombstone and Gigabyte remained neck and neck until Tombstone tried to spin up, and its weapon fell out as a result of damage taken from the earlier hits. Gigabyte then delivered a hit to Tombstone that was so massive, it actually split Tombstone's wheels from the body.

Gigabyte advanced to the semifinals, where it faced the 15 seed, **Blacksmith**. The fight started with Blacksmith losing a fork, but rushing in for three more hits before the other fork was gone. Gigabyte then caught an edge and ripped off a piece of Blacksmith's front armor. Blacksmith was taking more hits, absorbing them without a problem. The other piece of front armor was soon gone along with the hammer head, however, and Gigabyte then took control, ripping off a piece of Blacksmith's rear end. Although Blacksmith was losing more pieces, it was still staying durable. Gigabyte was starting to wear down Blacksmith, though, and eventually KO'd it.

Gigabyte then advanced to the Finals, where it faced the #12 seed, Whiplash. Whiplash did not start out well as Gigabyte instantly decapitated it (tearing off its lifter). On the next hit Gigabyte tore out a piece of armor, and then continued to tear it apart, this time tearing off the other piece of armor and flipping it over. Whiplash was somehow surviving being thrown up in the air.

Gigabyte continued its path of destruction as it sent Whiplash halfway across the BattleBox. Gigabyte then kept hitting Whiplash, and about 10 seconds later, Whiplash had a dislocated drive pod. Then the other was torn out. This hindered Whiplash's ability to move, giving Gigabyte the win by KO and the Giant Nut as well.

#### Season 3

Gigabyte returned for Season 3, and its first fight was a 4-way against **HyperShock**, **SubZero** and Blacksmith. The match began with complete chaos as Gigabyte tried to cause damage, ripping off a fork on Blacksmith. HyperShock then flipped SubZero and took off a wedge. Gigabyte then caused more massive damage as Blacksmith and SubZero tried to keep it at bay. HyperShock then flipped SubZero and threw it out. He done about the same to Blacksmith.

Gigabyte then found itself against HyperShock and Hydra in the second round. A summary of the fight is that HyperShock and Hydra teamed up on Gigabyte, not letting it get in a good hit. Hydra then flipped Gigabyte out of the arena.

#### Season 4

Gigabyte's first match in Season 4 was agaisnt **Duck**. The fight started with a few deflections from Duck, and Gigabyte landing a shot. Gigabyte then tore off the lifting beak on Duck, and followed it up by taking off the wedges. On the next 2 shots, Gigabyte tore off the rest of the beak, and then a wheel. Duck then rushed at Gigabyte, but got split in half. This gave Gigabyte the win by KO.

Gigabyte then got a 1 on 1 match against HyperShock. HyperShock started out by aggressively box-rushing Gigabyte and nearly got it out of the arena in the first few seconds. For at least 20 seconds, HyperShock was driving Gigabyte into wall after wall until it spun up. HyperShock then deflected it and nearly threw it out again. HyperShock was driving Gigabyte some more until HyperShock's wedge was torn off. Gigabyte then tore out a wheel, but HyperShock then controlled it into the screws and got it out.

Gigabyte, at 1-1, then faced **High-Speed Collision**. The fight began with both robots colliding. The second hit was the biggest of the match, doing major damage to both bots. Some of the red quarter of Gigabyte's shell was torn out, and one of High-Speed Collision's wheels were bent in. Gigabyte was able to spin up a bit, though, and bent the other wheel in. That hindered HSC's mobility, and gave Gigabyte the win by KO.

Gigabyte was given the 13 seed in the Season 4 top 32, and took on Cobalt in the Round of 32. Cobalt started out by deflecting two massive shots from Gigabyte, and then landing a pair of uppercuts. Gigabyte, on the next shot, ping-ponged off a wall, and was then deflected out by Cobalt, eliminating him from the top 32.

#### Season 5

Gigabyte returned for Season 5, where it took on Icewave. Both bots spun up their weapons, but Icewave experienced reliability issues from Season 4. Icewave then took some big hits from Gigabyte, After briefly putting Gigabyte in the corner, Icewave took even more hits. However, a massive hit into the wall ended up taking out Icewave's weapon. On the next hit, Icewave deflected Gigabyte into the wall, and Gigabyte exploded in the corner. With ¼ of its shell missing, Icewave was able to control Gigabyte, and soon dislocated the base from the shell, taking the win.

Gigabyte took on **Valkyrie** in the next fight, and had some heated anger from his Icewave fight. The fight started with the two bots spinning up. Gigabyte tore a wheel off of Valkyrie in the first shot, and flipped it on the second. Valkyrie was stuck in the corner, and Gigabyte did even more damage to Valkyrie with this. After several hits, Gigabyte sent Valkyrie flying about a foot in the air, then tore out the blade. With Valkyrie severely damaged, Gigabyte sent her flying again, and decided to leave the fight at that when he lost a piece of the shell.

At 1-1, Gigabyte took on **High-Speed Collision**. The fight began with both bots kinda staring at each other, then Gigabyte bending a wheel on High-Speed Collision. High-Speed Collision spun the weapon up, but it was to no effect as the other wheel got bent. This rendered the weapon useless. HSC got in 2 deflections, and Gigabyte ended up losing part of the shell. Gigabyte now began controlling High-Speed Collision into the arena drum, and done this until getting him out. This put Gigabyte at 2-1, and gave him a spot in the tournament.

Gigabyte was given the #12 seed for the tournament, and faced the 21 seed Whiplash in the Round of 32.

    The fight began with Whiplash deflecting Gigabyte and trying to lift it. Gigabyte had no control of the fight as Whiplash lifted it nearly out of the arena, and Whiplash deflected it several more times. Gigabyte did manage to rip off the lifter when Whiplash got it into the wall as Gigabyte was still spinning, but there were virtually no other good shots. Gigabyte ended up throwing itself into the wall, and dislocated its own shell from the base, eliminating him from the Round of 32.

Gigabyte would totally destroy Bronco in episode 3 of *Lego Battlebots: The Live Show*.
