Battle Axe is a house robot used for featherweight battles in some Robots Live! events. It debuted at Robots Live! Burgess Hill 2008 and has appeared many times since, commonly grabbing robots in its pincers before hammering them or, if they are immobile, dumping them in the pit. BattleAxe has a pair of steel claws with 500kg of force and also carries a heavy pneumatic steel hammer.
The hammer is capable of delivering major damage to the featherweights it manages to hit, though it sometimes struggles to accurately grab or hammer the small machines. Battle Axe has also shown vulnerability to flippers which can easily get underneath and lift it, preventing it from moving or attacking.
