Trivia: MeaCulpa II's name is derived from the Latin phrase Mea Culpa, which means My Fault. GF93 apparently learned it from the "Hellfire" scene in the Disney Film The Hunchback of Notre Dame".


MeaCulpa II is a Middleweight Anti-wedge Hammer, designed and built by GF93 to enter the Metal Mayhem Tournament. It was almost never built, with the original MeaCulpa being a standard clone of the Starcore 3 version of Fury. This was disqualified on the grounds of being unrealistic. To reenter the tournament, GF93 rebuilt it entirely as MeaCulpa II, mainly taking inspiration from Raptor, Wedge Tracker and Rampant Puppy Love.

Its first bout was against T_Koistinen's flipper robot EVVK. This battle ended up repeating twice, with both robots immobilising each other in the first one, and both robots Havoking into the ground the second time. However, in the third bout, EVVK tossed MeaCulpa II upwards, but it landed on its wheels, allowing MeaCulpa II an opportunity to pin it with the bumper, then completely destroyed the pink machine's weapon system and crushed its chassis with its hammer for the KO. In the Quarter Finals, MeaCulpa II faced off against Preytor 4's piston rammer Littler Inferno, which had destroyed and OOTA'ed the heavily favoured Repulsor in its own Round 1 battle. Here, MeaCulpa was able to exploit Littler Inferno's weaknesses to win, attacking the exposed T-connectors to knock off its weapons, before using the bumper to lift it up onto its back, attacking its underside for a KO.

MeaCulpa II's penultimate opponent came in the form of Stagfish's crawler Toxic, which had caused two previous upsets, knocking out NFX and Scrap Daddy in its previous battles. Thanks to its body shape, Toxic proved hard to catch against MeaCulpa II, but its flat sides and lack of side weaponry proved to be its downfall, as it was eventually forced against the arena wall and had its chassis flattened by MeaCulpa's hammer, getting KOed in the process. In GF93's first ever Grand Final, the host Jonzu95's entry O-Zone 2 was there to meet it, having already wiped out System32's Alliteration in the Semis with its Vertical Spinner. In the action-packed Final confrontation, O-Zone 2 knocked MeaCulpa II upwards in the initial charge with its spinning disc, not flipping it, but sending it spinning back. However, the position where it landed allowed MeaCulpa II an opportunity to get underneath O-Zone 2, causing it to do so, also hitting its chassis with its hammer. O-Zone 2 was able to turn around, but was unable to connect with its disc, allowing MeaCulpa II to continue hammering its chassis until O-Zone was eventually KOed, resulting in MeaCulpa II's final MM victory, and GF93's first ever Championship.
