Onslaught/Robot Wars: Advanced Destruction

Onslaught is a British heavyweight robot, that competed from the second series of Robot Wars, until the fifth series, its best performance was a heat final in Series 2. Onslaught was armed with a large bucket scoop that it used for tipping opponents over. Onslaught appears as a competitor robot in the GameBoy Advance game Robot Wars: Advanced Destruction, its first and only appearance in video games.

Appearance and Armament
Onslaught is recognisable as its real life counterpart in the game, due to its bucket scoop shape and the large motor mounted on the back. Despite it being listed with a turning circle of 2m on its stats, Onslaught can turn on the spot in the game, a change from real life.

Onslaught's weapon is a bucket scoop, which is a very good weapon both for flipping and for pushing, making Onslaught rather oddly one of the best robots on the game.

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

Using Onslaught
Onslaught is a great pusher and a great flipper, so you have a choice of tactics. It is generally better to use Onslaught as a flipper, but be careful, as some robots are easier to get underneath that others.

Against Onslaught
Onslaught is one of the more difficult robots to beat, as it does have a good pushing power combined with a good weapon. The best opportunities you will get is if Onslaught exposes its sides to you, at which point flipping and attacking with discs is a good tactic.
