Design
Hurricane with its team
Hurricane is a black, circular robot. It was armed with an overhead spinning panel, covering every angle of the robot beneath it, to effectively create a full-body spinner. The weapon was powerful, and gave the robot 360 degrees of offense and defence, with four hammerheads at each side of the weapon. However, it struggled to attack after losing the use of its weapon, as seen when it became weaponless in battle with Hammerhead Shark.
Robot History
King of Bots (Season 1)
Hammerhead Shark weathers an early collision with Hurricane's spinner
One of Hammerhead Shark's drum mounts is sheared off
Hurricane is pushed over the flame jets
Hurricane first appeared in Episode 2, where it fought Hammerhead Shark in the first round. In the opening seconds, Hammerhead Shark drove straight into Hurricane, with the two competitors proceeding to exchange several blows with their spinning weapons. One of these collisions resulted in Hurricane ripping off one of Hammerhead Shark's drum mounts, causing the latter's drum to hit the floor as it drove into Hurricane again. This stopped both of their weapons from spinning up, but Hammerhead Shark pushed Hurricane away from the red square, before both robots separated. Hammerhead Shark continued ramming and pushing Hurricane around the arena, all while surviving more hits from its opponent’s spinner. The former was pushed into the wall spikes by Hurricane, but reversed away as Hurricane momentarily pinned itself under them. The two competitors continued pushing and dodging each other until time ran out, with the battle going to a Judges’ decision. Despite the damage inflicted by Hurricane, the Judges ruled in favor of Hammerhead Shark as a result of it displaying more control throughout the battle.
