''BattleBots: Bounty Hunters'' is a six-episode series involving 48 bots in total. Each episode is themed around a "bounty" placed on the heads of six destructive veteran bots: Bronco, Icewave, Tombstone, Beta, Witch Doctor, and Son of Whyachi. In each episode, eight bots (including newcomers) fight through a single-elimination tournament for the chance to fight in a bounty match against the veteran bot in question. Whichever team wins the bounty match earns US$25,000.

=== ''BattleBots: Champions'' ===
On July 19, 2022, a second spin-off, titled ''BattleBots: Champions'', was announced. The streaming series aired from August 4 to September 8, 2022 on [[Discovery+]]. ''BattleBots: Champions'' is a sequel to ''BattleBots: Bounty Hunters'', filmed concurrently with the 2022 season.

''BattleBots: Champions'' is a six-episode series involving 48 bots in total. In each of the first five episodes, eight bots fight through a single-elimination tournament, called the "Sin City Slugfest". Each winner of the Sin City Slugfest then battles a winner of a ''BattleBots: Bounty Hunters'' bounty match. The victor progresses to the Golden Bolt tournament. The sixth episode is the Golden Bolt tournament, where the five surviving bots face off against each other and three current or former BattleBots champions (for 2022, Tombstone, End Game, and Tantrum). The overall winner of ''BattleBots: Champions'' is awarded the Golden Bolt.

From October 5 to November 9, 2023, a second season of ''BattleBots: Champions'', titled ''BattleBots II: Sin City'' aired on [[Discovery Channel]] and streamed on [[Max (streaming service)|MAX]]. The format was similar to the earlier series, eschewing the bounty match battle and replacing Tombstone with SawBlaze as an automatic Golden Bolt qualifier. It was filmed concurrently with the 2023 ''BattleBots'' World Championship VII (season 12).<ref>{{Cite web |title=BattleBots Champions II – Episode 1 (Discovery) |url=https://battlebots.com/event/bbc2-01 |access-date=February 23, 2024 |website=battlebots.com}}</ref>
