Icewave finally returned for Discovery Season 6 after a two-season hiatus, maintaining its black and yellow paint scheme. In BattleBots Bounty Hunters, it lost out to Skorpios, after being outdriven for the bulk of the match, and its weapon struggling to hit full power throughout. Aesthetics aside, Icewave also had a newly-shaped housing for its partially customized internal combustion engine. For this, Icewave ditched the blue look for a black and yellow design. Icewave did, however, compete in the Bounty Hunters tournament. Icewave was originally confirmed to be participating in the 2020 season prior to the postponement of filming due to COVID-19, but Marc DeVidts withdrew from the season for unknown reasons. However, Icewave competed in the re:MARS Amazon BattleBots Challenge, but lost in the opening round to Bite Force after its bar was severely damaged. Icewave did not compete in Discovery Season 4 as Marc wanted to spend more time with the family. It did very well in its matches, splitting two robots in half and was a favorite to win the Championship, but lost in the Round of 16 to a well-driven Rotator, who destroyed the engine housing and in doing so, disabled the weapon. Although the blade's speed was now 200mph for safety reasons, it still had enough power and weight to inflict severe damage. Icewave did decently, defeating SubZero in the first round despite its blade breaking down, but it lost to Nightmare in the second round due to radio interference.įor Discovery Season 3, Icewave gained a few cosmetic changes including a yellow top to the engine compartment, and the blades now being painted gray on the sides to make the bar appear skinnier instead of shorter. Though not seen in official images, this can be seen in battles. In ABC Season 2, Icewave received a big upgrade with the addition of a one-time use srimech on the left side of its engine protection.

Icewave was a fan-favorite for its destructive design and intimidation factor, but it lost in an upset defeat to Ghost Raptor in the quarter-finals. The blade's top speed at the tips has been stated to be approximately 300mph, though this had to be reduced to suit the show's 250mph tip speed rule. Its main feature was a 15hp fireman's saw internal combustion engine (hence 'ICE') housed on top of the robot, which powered a 47lb steel bar measuring 54' in length. Icewave, sometimes stylised as ICEwave, is a heavyweight (formally middleweight) robot which competed in the 2004 NPC Charity Open, BattleBots at Java One and four seasons of the BattleBots reboot. Statistics correct as of its most recent appearance on the show, or if not applicable, qualification attempt.
