Shaman was not unarmed, as it was also equipped with a flamethrower to toast the underside of opponents it can get underneath. Shaman was a wedge robot designed to get behind the opponent and distract their drivers so Witch Doctor could go in for the kill. It was also accompanied by a 30lb minibot named Shaman in early seasons of the show. It often featured small front wedges which could be replaced with a large steel plow to combat spinners. In all of its televised BattleBots appearances, Witch Doctor featured a potent vertical spinning disc which has been capable of causing major damage to opponents.
