Hypno-Disc/Robot Wars: Advanced Destruction

Hypno-Disc is a British heavyweight robot, that competed from the third series of Robot Wars, until the sixth series, reaching grand final on three occasions. The powerful spinning disc was considered perhaps the most devastating weapon ever. Hypno-Disc appears as a competitor robot in the GameBoy Advance game Robot Wars: Advanced Destruction, its second of four video game appearances, it would go on to appear in both versions of Robot Wars: Extreme Destruction, and having previously appeared in Robot Wars: Arenas of Destruction.

Appearance and Armament
Hypno-Disc is easily recognisable on the game, due to its iconic spinning disc and grey body. The shape of the robot is fairly accurate, although Hypno-Disc does look considerably smaller and lower down than it was in real life

Hypno-Disc's weapon is the deadly spinning disc, that caused damage on a scale never seen before on Robot Wars. The disc is a useful weapon, but, as damage isn't particularly visible on the game, it is hard to see any replication of the killing power.

Hypno-Disc is an unlockable robot within the game, and is unlocked by beating it in Championship mode.

Using Hypno-Disc
Fairly obviously, the disc is the primary method for attack, and, if applied correctly, can damage opponents effectively. It is important to avoid flippers, because this is Hypno-Disc's primary weakness on the game

Against Dominator
Hypno-Disc is very vulnerable to flippers, which is an ideal tactic. It is useful to stay away from the disc, although most flippers should be able to defeat Hypno-Disc before the disc can cause too much damage.

Differences between the Game and Real Life

 * The disc is smaller than real life
 * The body is smaller and lower to the ground than it should be
