Number 26 - HUGE

HUGE has one of the most unique designs on a combat robot that I have ever seen. Its wheels are pretty much unbreakable, and its vertical bar spinner has caused much devastation over seasons 3-5. HUGE debuted in 2018 and won its first three fights before being split in half by Icewave. Because it went 3-1, HUGE competed in the final 16 as the 14th seed, drawing Bite Force. HUGE dominated the fight and disabled Bite Force's weapon but, on account of damage sustained in the Icewave battle, it simply split in half out of nowhere (you should watch the fight if you don't believe me). In season 4, HUGE went 4-1 in regular competition, taking out such legends as GIGABYTE, Bronco, and HyperShock in the process, and suffering its only loss to Son of Whyachi. HUGE made the final 16 as the 12th seed, squaring off against 5th seed Whiplash that round. Whiplash's record was 3-1, and it had a higher seed than HUGE. Does that sound right? Of course not. I don't like the way that Battlebots handled the top 16 in season 4 at all. At any rate, HUGE took Whiplash the distance and took off one of its wheels in the process, but it wasn't enough to get the all important win (I personally think that the judges got the decision wrong). HUGE returned in season 5 and lost its first fight to Mammoth in one of the most disappointing fights ever. It drew hydraulic flipper HYDRA in its second fight. Watch the fight. First HYDRA plays chicken, then it cheats, then the judges give it the single worst decision in Battlebots history. After this, HUGE beat Kraken and made the top 32 as the 25th seed, getting a rematch with Whiplash. It fought to another close decision, but this one was decided correctly. HUGE's Battlebots record is 8-7 (.533) with two knockouts. For its brilliant design, wins over legends, entrance into the final tournament in all three seasons it competed in, and destructive blade, HUGE is an honored member of my top 50 Battlebots.
