X-Terminator was a fighting robot which competed in Robot Wars since series 3. For Series 3 it was painted red, although in series 4 onwards it was silver. The armour was made of aluminium. It used to be armed with an axe and flipping scoop for series 3-6, but for series 7 Marlon Pritchard and Simon Baldwin changed it to a vertical cutting disc. X-Terminator's best result was coming 4th Place in Robot Wars Series 7.

X-Terminator 2 had a top speed of 25 mph in Series 4 [1], making it the fastest robot in the series except for Terror Bull. The drive was powered by two Bosch motors. It also managed to stay on the sumo platform for 60 seconds in the "Sumo Basho" competition, along with Behemoth. Panic Attack won it, but only because Shunt drove off the ring. However, in Series 7, X-Terminator was much slower than before but did better because of the improvements to its weapons.

Series 3

Round 1 vs. Hefty

X-Terminator's axe dropped down on Hefty, and when they tried to remove it, the axe eventually levered Hefty over. The House Robots then attacked Hefty and they were eliminated. Winner: X-Terminator.

Round 2 vs. Judge Shred

Judge Shred was pitted. Winner: X-Terminator.

Round 3 vs. Panic Attack

This was one of the greatest fights in the series. X-Terminator pushed Panic Attack around using its axe, but then Panic Attack slammed X-Terminator into the arena wall. The CO2 canister was punctured, rendering X-T's weapons and self-righting mechanism useless, which allowed Panic Attack to flip X-Terminator over. The house robots then moved in and attacked X-Terminator. Winner: Panic Attack.

Series 4

Round 1 vs. Judge Shred 2 vs. Millenium Bug

X-Terminator 2 goes through along with Judge Shred II. Millenium Bug is eliminated.

Round 2 vs. Arnold Arnold Terminegger

This was a long match. X-Terminator 2 used its axe, but caused no damage to Arnold Arnold. The judges decided that XT2 was more aggressive, so Arnold A lost the judge's decision.

Round 3 vs. Behemoth

X-Terminator used a flipper instead of an axe in this fight. They won on a judge's decision.

Round 4 vs. Wild Thing

X-Terminator 2 pushed Wild Thing into Sir Killalot's CPZ. Wild Thing then pushed XT2 into Shunt and Dead Metal's corner patrol zones. Wild Thing then flipped X-Terminator 2 and bent one of its self-righting spikes in the process. The house robots then sawed and axed them before Sir Killalot dumped XT2 into the pit of oblivion. Winner: Wild Thing.

Extreme

All Stars vs. Chaos 2

Chaos 2 immediately flipped X-Terminator 2, but XT2 self-righted. X-Terminator 2 then axed Chaos 2 and pushed them around, but Chaos 2 flipped X-Terminator 2 again and now they are unable to self-right. Refbot counts X-Terminator out. Winner: Chaos 2.

Vengeance vs. Panic Attack

Panic Attack turned X-Terminator 2 over, and due to a spike that was attached to the front, it couldn't self-right. Panic Attack pressed the pit button, and rolled X-Terminator back on its wheels. X-Terminator 2 then drove on top of Panic Attack's lifting forks, and Panic Attack slowly pushed X-Terminator into the pit. Winner: Panic Attack.

Mayhem vs. Cataclysmic Variabot vs. Panzerwrath

There was an axe attack between Cataclysmic Variabot and X-Terminator 2 in the beginning, but Panzer slammed into Catalysmic Variabot and knocked out their removable link. X-Terminator then pushed Panzer down the pit. Winner: X-Terminator 2.

Annihilator vs. Pussycat vs. Splinter vs. Thermidor 2 vs. Hypno-disc vs. Arnold Arnold Terminegger

All the axe robots ganged up on Hypno-Disc. Splinter eventually pushed Thermidor 2 into the corner patrol zone. Thermidor 2 looked if it might have been immobilised. Shunt comes in for the kill. X-Terminator 2 attacked Hypno-Disc, but Splinter axed X-Terminator 2 and started to push them around. Robots eliminated so far: Thermidor 2.

X-Terminator 2 then attacked the Refbot for some reason, before attacking Immortalis with its axe. Immortalis was then immobilized and Shunt pushed them into the pit. X-Terminator goes through to the heat semi final.

Round 2 vs. Corkscrew

This was a close battle. Corkscrew's weapon wasn't working, and X-Terminator 2 used the axe to penetrate the corkscrew handle on top of Corkscrew. But X-Terminator 2 suffered from a battery failure towards the end of the fight, so Corkscrew caused damage to X-Terminator 2. Winner: Corkscrew.

Series 6

Round 1 vs. Scorpion vs. Barbaric Response vs. Robochicken

Spirit of Scorpion, Robochicken and Barbaric Response was all at each other from the beginning, while X-Terminator 2 stayed out of the action. X-Terminator 2 then slammed Barbaric Response on the arena side wall. X-Terminator then used its scoop to good effect, overturning Robochicken and pushing them into Dead Metal's CPZ. They couldn't self-right. Spirit of Scorpion was immobile as well, so Robochicken and Scorpion are eliminated. X-Terminator 2 and Barbaric Response goes through to Round 2.

Round 2 vs. Mega Hurts 2

X-Terminator 2 immediately moved in and attacked Mega Hurts 2 with the axe. Mega Hurts also used its flipper to get underneath X-Terminator 2 and push it into the CPZ, but X-Terminator ran away and the house robots (Mr. Psycho and Growler) started to attack Mega Hurts. The judges decided that X-Terminator goes through to the heat final.

Round 3 vs. Firestorm 4

They're both at each other from the beginning, but Firestorm gave X-Terminator 2 a big flip and XT2 couldn't self-right, since they suffered from weapon problems. Meanwhile, Firestorm 4 had a go at Shunt and flipped him as well. Winner: Firestorm 4.

Series 7

X-Terminator entered this series with a vertical flywheel in place of the axe/lifting arm.

Round 1 vs. Diabolus vs. Tsunami vs. Major Tom

This fight was very quick. Diabolous simply nudged Major Tom 3, and Major Tom's head fell off! Very shortly after, Tsunami ejected Major Tom 3 out of the arena. X-Terminator 2 bashed Diabolous, and the top cover was loosened, and then Tsunami shot it great height, Diabolous landed out of the arena, and the top cover fell off! Diabolus and Major Tom are eliminated.

Round 2 vs. Killer Carrot 2

Killer Carrot 2 sustained a lot of damage here. It was flipped over and over, and the flipper was then immobilised.

Winner: X-Terminator 2.

Round 3 vs. Tsunami

Tsunami flipped X-Terminator 2 right from the start.

Round 6 vs Typhoon 2

Every time X-Terminator 2 touched Typhoon 2, X-Terminator was deflected off and damaged. The wall was smashed in this fight by Typhoon 2, so the fight was stopped. The fight was then restarted, and this time X-Terminator 2 was immobilised. Winner: Typhoon 2.
