The Naked Rat is a rat shaped robot armed with a static spike and a vertical saw blade. The robot was applied for Banter Wars Series 3 and it made its debut in Series 2.5 and will appear in some of the competitions, one in particular being the Team Trash with other Diotoir machine Porcupine which won't enter Series 3. Despite being a middleweight The Naked Rat is effective as a rambot due to its shape.
Robot History[]
Series 2.5[]
The Naked Rat's finest moment taking Chompy's arms off
In the King of the Hill it fought Twig, Chompy and Karinabob. Twig quickly gets on to the centre of the arena but is soon attacked by The Naked Rat, before being dragged away by Chompy and Karinabob. All four robots push and shove one another with Chompy and Karinabob being counted out for not moving, this causes the robots to move away. Chompy turns attensions to The Naked Rat who fights back using its tail. The Naked Rat gets underneath and tries cutting the under belly of Chompy. The Naked Rat is ambushed by all three before Twig gets underneath Karinabob and tries to topple it. Chompy attacks The Naked Rat, but by doing so it loses two arms to the tail spike. The broken arm the causes a glitch to occur sending The Naked Rat and Chompy away from the hill. As a result The Naked Rat becomes stuck and is soon counted out leaving the other three to fight on.
The Naked Rat damages the underside of Chasm
In the New Blood, The Naked Rat fought 180 Overturn Tiger, Chasm and Invertabull. It started well, exploiting a missed flip from Chasm by slipping underneath it to slice at the baseplate. Invertabull was rendered useless after losing two of its wheels, and Chasm was immobilised by 180 Overturn Tiger, leaving The Naked Rat among the final two robots standing, but the powerful pneumatic rams of 180 Overturn Tiger quickly immobilised The Naked Rat, and it was eliminated.
