Anty B

## Overview

"*It's also made of titanium and therefore, indestructible.*"
— Anthony Pritchard before the Extreme 1 Antweight Championship

**Anty B** was an antweight robot which competed in the Antweight Championships of both series of *Robot Wars Extreme*. It was essentially a miniature version of Team Make Robotics' heavyweight, Behemoth, and while it was eliminated in Extreme 1 after falling into the mechanism of the Floor Flipper, Anty B won the Antweight Championship in Extreme 2 after dominating the final round.

## Robot History

### Robot Wars: Extreme 1

Anty B fought exclusively in the Antweight Melee, facing Anto, Pants, Combatant, Legion, Little Nipper and Razzler.

It started strongly, lifting one half of Legion onto its back before being pushed aside by and lifting Anto. Anty B then attacked Razzler, pinning it against the wall as Combatant flung Pants out of the arena, before converging with Little Nipper and the other half of Legion. After a while driving around the arena, Anty B drove over the edge of the Floor Flipper just as it fired on Combatant; as a result, it was lifted upwards, and fell into the space containing the flipper mechanism. This instantly eliminated Anty B from the Antweight Melee, which was eventually won by Combatant.

### AWS 7

In the first round, Anty B faced Last Chance Saloon, VileAnt Toaster and Militant. It is unknown what happened to Vile Ant Toaster other than it was eliminated early on in the battle. Last Chance Saloon got to grips with Anty B from behind and was able to push and control Anty B, dumping it out of the arena with ease.

Anty B also competed in the tag team but it is unknown what happened other than it was partnered with Abel.

### AWS 9

In the first round, Anty B faced Anticyclone and Anti. Anty B attempted to flip and take out Anti in the initial starting attack but soon Anticyclone came barging in from the side. Anti is soon flipped over by Anty B as Refbot comes in to count it out, Anticyclone attempts to attack the overturned Anti but is swiftly attacked by Anty B from the side. It is unknown how Anticyclone lost.

In the second round, Anty B faced Chroma and Rameses. Both Anty B and Chroma ganged up on Rameses and swiftly shoved it off the arena.

In the third round, Anty B faced Lower. Lower charged into Anty B getting a grip, but Anty B slipped away and got around the back of Lower and attempted to lift it over. Lower turned and went head to head with Anty B grabbing it from the scoop. it is unknown what happened afterwards, other than Anty B lost.

### Robot Wars: Extreme 2

Anty B returned for the Antweight Championship, and fought defending champion Combatant in its heat as well as Hades, Chroma, Mesmer 2 and Anty Geddon.

It immediately turned Hades on its side over the pit square before attacking Chroma and Anty Geddon, at one point pushing both of them together as Anty Geddon pushed Combatant partially into the pit. Chroma flipped Anty B onto its back before Anty B shoved it back and both robots attacked Anty Geddon. In doing so, Chroma got its lifter wedged in Anty Geddon, allowing Anty B to throw both robots onto their sides as the unpitted Combatant flew into them. Anty B and Combatant teamed up to attack Chroma and Anty Geddon, with Anty Geddon being destroyed by Combatant’s bludgeoner as Anty B pushed Chroma away. Anty B finished the battle by buffeting Combatant's spinner and pushing it into the pit for a second time, although both robots qualified for the Final anyway.

There, Anty B and Combatant faced Pants and Lower.

Anty B immediately lifted Combatant into Lower, causing the defending champion to recoil and spin across the arena, before Pants pushed Anty B near the Floor Spinner. It briefly caught the Floor Flipper with its scoop, before colliding with Combatant’s spinner, immobilising the latter. Anty B then lifted Lower and Pants over in rapid succession, before concentrating on Lower, at one point attempting to hoist it out of the arena.

"*Look at the work done here, by Anty B! They say ants have a prodigious work rate, and he’s doing just that!*"
— Jonathan Pearce as Anty B relentlessly attacks Lower
Anty B repeatedly slammed and lifted Lower before leaving it near a CPZ, and proceeded to shove and lift Pants around until it became immobilised over the Floor Flipper and was thrown across the arena. Anty B finished the battle by pinning the now-immobilised Lower further into the CPZ, before spinning in victory as ‘cease’ was called. Following this dominant performance, Anty B was declared the Extreme 2 Antweight Champion, the first trophy for Team Make Robotics.

### AWS 12

Anty B fought in Group C and in the first round fought Odyssey and Dave 3 where it qualified alongside Odyssey.

In the second round, Anty B faced Militant and Chimera where it qualified alongside Militant.

In the third round, Anty B faced War Ant. Anty B charged in to flip War Ant but mistimed it, which allowed War Ant to easily ram Anty B off the arena.

Anty B also fought in a Grumble after the main competition, it faced Big. Antomkia, R.O.N.N.Y., Ramps, Chimera, Pants, Chroma, Ant-Lion, Rebel, Void and Electra in a Grumble. From the get go, Chroma stayed still as R.O.N.N.Y., Rebel, Electra and Ant-Lion tackled one another with Anty B coming in from the side to attempt to flip one of the competitors, while Militant charged into Antomkia. Void charged into Antomkia as Electra flipped Rebel only for Rebel to chuck Electra over onto its side. As Chroma stayed away from the action, Ramps charged into Militant and slammed it out of the arena as it charged into R.O.N.N.Y. with Anty B following suit. Ramps and Anty B then shunted R.O.N.N.Y., Ant-Lion, Void and Rebel out of the arena, but as Rebel was about to be pushed off, it flipped both Anty B and Ramps over. Meanwhile, both Big and Pants ganged up on Chimera, pushing it about with Chroma moving from its position to assist in the assault. At some point, Ramps is flipped back over with Anty B eventually pushed off.
