The Commentators are a duo of robots who add colorful comments and remarks (red being Commentatron and green being Analysis-Bot) before and after each battle in the Danger Zone.
Description[]
Clone Drone in the Danger Zone[]
They do not comment during battle, unless a Spider-Tron gets cut by a saw blade or the player hits their booth. The Commentators give information on the upcoming level and make remarks about the chosen upgrades. These are often humorous, sarcastic, or even rude. The commentators are displayed on screens on each wall of the arena, and on four screens in the upgrade area. If the player manages to get up to their booth in the arena, a force field will blast the player back. The Commentators cannot be harmed. Their true thoughts on the player is unknown, as they appear to want to see the player die at one point, and at other points, they appear to favor the player.

Commentatron[]
Main article: Commentatron
Commentatron is the bigger robot of the two, with a deeper text-to-speech voice. He is recognizable by the triangular torso, blue tie, glasses with red eyes, red hair, headphones, and limbs. He is on the left.
Analysis-Bot[]
Main article: Analysis-Bot
Analysis-Bot is the smaller robot, appearing similar to the ship officers that appear later in the Story Mode (in particular, Logistics-Bot). He has a higher-pitched voice, the same as Purple Shep and Bob Bobowski from SMG4. He is recognizable by the lack of limbs, rectangular body shape, green tie, and green eyes with goggles.
Trivia[]
- When using photo mode inside the Commentators box, you can see that Commentatron is standing on a thin ledge with the end of his toes.
- On the Nintendo Switch version, Commentatron accidentally says "Spider-Tro" on instead of just "Spider-Tron" in one of his lines*
- In the Private Duels mode, they are directly in the battle arena in a booth on the wall. However, they don't have any hitboxes or collision, and do not react when the player attempts to touch them.
