Matilda/Robot Wars: Arenas of Destruction

Matilda was one of the original four house robots in Robot Wars. Matilda was a purple prehistoric dinosaur based robot that featured a chainsaw in the first four series of robot wars. In Extreme 1 onwards, Matilda sported a flywheel at her rear, it was said to be interchangeable with the chainsaw, but after series four, the chainsaw was only ever seen in the american version Robot Wars: Extreme Warriors. Matilda also featured tusks at the front, used to flip robots over, and she is capable of doing this in-game.

Appearance and Armament
Matilda makes an appearance in the game Robot Wars: Arenas of Destruction along with the other four early house robots. Matilda is found in the top left CPZ, and her in-game counterpart is relatively faithful to her real life form. Her colour scheme is correct, and she has an accurate weapon depiction. One of the few differences is that Matilda's chainsaw does not lift up and down to come in on the attack, like it did in real life, and Matilda's tusks, don't seem to lift as high in the game as they do in real life. Matilda rarely strays from her CPZ, and only does when a robot is fully immobile. Like four of the other fie house robots, Matilda can't be flipped over and immobilised, despite not having a srimech, or a rollover design, Matilda will always land on her wheels.
