Kraken had been working on new upgrades for the 2020 season, such as new wheels, a modified set of teeth designed to be more functional than before, as well as an inverse color scheme. However, the bot would ultimately succeed in entering the Top 32. The team's record improved from its debut campaign, but the team missed out on the Top 16 after a devastating loss against Son of Whyachi.ĭue to COVID-19 regulations during filming for Discovery Season 5, much of Kraken's team was absent. Kraken also had two narwhal minibots named Wally and Walter, though they would often find themselves getting stuck on the floor. It featured a minibot named Tadpole and aesthetically, it had a shorter bulb on top, a rebuilt head, and a fresh new paint scheme for the competition. Kraken also sported a flamethrower inside the mouth as a secondary weapon, to spew flame once it got a hold of its opponent. Chief among which was the considerably more powerful weapon, which was now able to crush with 60,000lbs of force, making it three times more powerful than in its debut season. Kraken returned for Discovery Season 4 with notable changes. The World special, a competition Matt Spurk's team were only drafted into at the last moment, replacing the troubled Raven. After losing to eventual bracket winner Lock-Jaw in the first round of the Desperado Tournament, Kraken was winless in the main season, with its sole victory coming against Red Devil in the USA vs. In Kraken's debut season, it was reduced to fighting in two Science Channel rumbles, but failed to win in either. Kraken is themed to look like an anglerfish unlike the robot's name, which is a legendary sea monster typically depicted as something closer to a giant octopus. It is a two-wheel drive robot armed with a unique crushing weapon, which utilizes an air bag to push the top jaw downwards and into its opponent's top armor. Kraken is a heavyweight robot built by Matt Spurk of CE Robots, which competed in every season of the BattleBots reboot since Discovery Season 3. Not to be confused with the Middleweight which competed in Season 3.0 of the original series. Statistics correct as of its most recent appearance on the show, or if not applicable, qualification attempt.
