Firestorm/Robot Wars: Arenas of Destruction

Firestorm was a heavyweight robot that competed in five series of Robot Wars, debuting in the Third Wars, and managing to place third in three series of Robot Wars. Firestorm in Robot Wars: Arenas of Destruction is based upon its Fourth Wars incarnation, Firestorm 2. Firestorm made its second of four video game appearances in Robot Wars: Arenas of Destruction.

Appearance and Armament
Being based upon the design of Firestorm 2, Firestorm is a primarily orange wedge, being yellow at the top. The robot features a front-hinged flipper, which is capable of flipping other robots out of the arena, being considered the second-best robot in the game for doing so, behind Behemoth. Firestorm's wedge is not as low as it was on the show, and the back of the robot is curved, but it is otherwise representative of Firestorm 2.

Using Firestorm
Very few original robots in Robot Wars: Arenas of Destruction can self-right, so Firestorm can typically slip underneath one of these robots, and overturn it for a victory. When faced with a robot that can self-right, Firestorm may need to push the robot into arena hazards such as the pit, or attempt to flip them out of the arena.

Against Terrorhurtz
Firestorm's wedge is fairly easy to breach, so a superior wedge can command Firestorm for a victory. Firestorm also has fairly weak armour, so a strong weapon can also defeat it.

Differences from Real Life

 * The back of Firestorm is rounded.
 * Firestorm's wedge is fairly high up.
 * Firestorm's baseplate is not coloured, unlike the real Firestorm 2.
