Silver Shield was a middleweight robot built by Team Ice/Liaw which competed exclusively in Season 5.0 of Comedy Central BattleBots.

It was a silver, wedge-shaped robot armed with a long, lifting arm at the front. Silver Shield lost its only fight in the preliminary rounds and would never fight again in BattleBots. However, team member David Liaw would return to the show ahead of the 2020 season on Discovery as part of Team Malice, where he has remained ever since.[1]

According to David Liaw, Silver Shield was likely scrapped shortly after its one and only appearance due to damage sustained from Centipede.[2]
