Deadblow is a combat robot built and driven by Grant Imahara. Costing over $20,000, it was made out of titanium and high-grade aluminium. It competed in BattleBots in the middleweight division. Its weapon is a pneumatic hammer. Deadblow has won 2 rumbles and is ranked number 2 among middleweights. Afterwards, parts of it would go on to aid Grant in experiments in MythBusters. In one opening, Grant is controlling it saying, "Go get him, boy." The most recent experiment the robot was used in was a cat decoy in the "Beat the Guard Dog" myth.
