Vlad The Impaler II is a Heavyweight robot originally built by Gage Cauchois, and currently owned by Team Burntpopcorn that has been competing sporadically under numerous different owners, and drivers since 2002. It is a silver, four-wheeled, box-shaped robot armed with a lifting plate. Unlike its predecessor Vlad The Impaler it never had much success in combat outside of a third place finish at ComBots Cup VI under Jason Bardis of Team Infernolabs, and a quarterfinals finish at RoboGames 2013 under Team Tiki, and currently holds an abysmal 9-29 W/L record at RoboGames & ComBots.

After receiving a bye in the first round, Vlad The Impaler II's first match was against Whiplash. This match started with Whiplash spinning up, and popping Vlad a few times, and attempting, and failing a few lifts. Whiplash then delivered a blow to Vlad that popped it up into the air before using the lifting arm to flip it onto its back. Whiplash then followed this up by flipping Vlad against the wall, and backing into its square as Vlad tapped out.
This loss put it into the loser's bracket where it faced multibot Crash n' Burn. This match consisted of Crash n' Burn slamming Vlad around the arena, until time ran out. The judges ultimately went for a 21-12 decision in favor of Crash n' Burn meaning that Vlad The Impaler II was eliminated.
