They first appeared in Series 1, with two competitors - Killertron and Mortis - using a pickaxe and a 'Tanto blade' to reach the Heat Final in their first appearances. Killertron would ultimately reach the Grand Final in Series 2 with this weapon, with Mortis reaching the Semi Finals in the same series and later winning the Series 4 War of Independence.

Other notable robots with spiked axes include three-time Semi-Finalist Dominator 2, the Series 3-6 versions of X-Terminator, and double Dutch Series Grand Finalist Bamm Bamm. House Robot Shunt was also fitted with two types of spiked axe during his appearances, one of which also featured elements from bladed axes.
