Black Dragon has only been around for two seasons, but has taken out some of the greatest Battlebots ever created. On Black Dragon's list of victims are top 50 members Bloodsport (19), WAR Hawk (50), Minotaur (4), Skorpios (20), Tombstone (2, as seen above), and Ribbot (32). Black Dragon's egg beater spinner has caused massive destruction, but its best strengths are its durability, reliability, tough front wedge, and driving skills. Black Dragon first appeared in season 4, losing its debut fight by a split decision to Texas Twister. It then knocked out Bloodsport, but still decided to enter the Desperado Tournament. It knocked out Captain Shrederator and WAR Hawk before it met Minotaur in the finals. The two legendary drum spinners from Brazil battled a great fight, but Black Dragon got the win with a questionable judges' decision. Winning the Desperado Tournament put Black Dragon in the top 16 as the 8th seed, where it battled 9th seed and season 3 Desperado champion Lock Jaw. Lock Jaw clobbered Black Dragon for the majority of the battle, but it started smoking towards the end and Black Dragon landed a massive hit. The fight went the distance, and the judges awarded Lock Jaw a split decision, eliminating Black Dragon from the tournament. After the season, Black Dragon fought Skorpios in an exhibition fight, which wet to the judges, who awarded Black Dragon a unanimous decision. In season 5, Black Dragon won its first two fights, but lost its third to Copperhead. Season 5 Copperhead had one of the most devastating weapons in history, yet Black Dragon went the distance. In the round of 32, Black Dragon was seeded surprisingly high - 5th - and faced off against 28th seed SlamMow!, which Black Dragon knocked out with ease. In the round of 16, Black Dragon beat Tombstone, and in the quarterfinals, took out Ribbot. Black Dragon was finally stopped in the semifinals, where it lost to Whiplash. Black Dragon's record is 10-4 (.714) with five knockouts. For its record and wins over several legends in just two seasons, Black Dragon is number 7 among the top 50 Battlebots of all time.
