Two-Fisted was a middleweight robot built by Team Mobile Electronic Assault that fought in Season 5.0 of Comedy Central BattleBots. It was armed with two long thwacking arms and a front wedge. However, it didn't perform well in battle, losing its only fight.
After BattleBots, Two-Fisted continued to compete as Man-O-War, minus the large thwack arms. The team later attempted to enter Big Ratfish into World Championship V, but it was not selected.

Two-Fisted in the arena
Two-Fisted's only fight was against 64 Wedge. The two robots slowly drove out, and 64 Wedge charged, getting underneath Two-Fisted and eventually slamming it into the spike strip. This happened again, and eventually 64 Wedge took some hits from Two-Fisted's weapon. The match ended and 64 Wedge won on a 29-16 judges' decision.

Man-O-War in Robot Assault 2
Prior to its entry to BattleBots, Two-Fisted made its debut in the inaugural North Carolina Robot Street Fight as a double-sided wedge along with the thwacking arms, where it placed second behind Village Idiot. Two-Fisted was later rebuilt as a front wedge while retaining the thwacking arms and competed in 3 other events, including North Carolina Robot Street Fight II, where it won its first championship against Hoarf.
After BattleBots ended, Two-Fisted had its thwacking arms ditched and was entered at Southern Assault as a "test bot" to test out some drivetrain modifications. These modifications proved successful, as it placed third behind Little Drummer Boy. Two-Fisted regained its two thwacking arms by the time it competed in the first ever event at the Robot Club and Grill, hosted by Fuzzy Mauldin. Two-Fisted last competed under the name in the North Carolina Robot Streetfight III, where it lost in a rematch to Village Idiot.
Two-Fisted was yet again stripped of its thwacking arms and was renamed Man-O-War, competing in North Carolina Robot Street Fight 4 in 2003 and Robot Assault 2 in 2004. After losing to Nefarious in the latter competition, it was retired for good.
Team captain Mark Harrison has fought at National Havoc Robot League with a 3lbs flipper/lifter called Ratfish.
