User:Diotoir the son of nemesis/ Panic Attack (Live Events)

Panic Attack was a Welsh competitor robot in Robot Wars. It fought from Series 2 through to Series 7, and appeared in both series of Robot Wars Extreme. The UK Champion of Series 2 and a four-time semi-finalist, Panic Attack was one of the longest appearing and most consistently successful competitors in the show, reaching more semi-finals than any other champion despite not reaching a second Grand Final.

Panic Attack was created by Welshman Kim Davies, and was the most successful Welsh robot to appear on the show. In addition to its domestic championship, it also won the Sumo Basho competition in Series 4.

Panic Attack debuted in Series 2, which it won, defeating seeded robots Mortis, Killertron and Cassius. It returned in Series 3 and reached the second round of the semi-finals, but had its crown taken away by Fire Storm. Panic Attack continued to reach the semi-finals in the Fourth and Fifth Wars, but began to decline from Series 6 onwards, reaching the Heat Final of Series 6 and the second round of Series 7, losing to Terrorhurtz and Tough as Nails respectively.

Panic Attack's signature move was to use its low ground clearance to get underneath an opponent, using its forks to hook onto and get a grip inside the opponent's armour, wheel shafts or any other exposed gaps, before lifting them off the ground, driving into the pit release and lowering them down the pit. It achieved this many times, against robots including Axe-Awe, S.M.I.D.S.Y., Manta and Kat 3.

It did make a few appearances in the Live events.

In lost one fight against Suicidal Tendencies, and later fought in a rumble against Eye of Newt, Suicidal Tendencies and Miss Struts.

Robots Live!
The Series 5/Extreme version of Panic Attack was recently taken out of retirement and overhauled back to running condition in mid-2012, with the intention of entering live events again. Its first fight was an exhibition match hosted by Robots Live! against Behemoth - during the battle, Panic Attack's srimech failed to work correctly and had to depend on Behemoth to right it. As a result, Behemoth ultimately won the fight via judges' decision, with both robots still mobile at the end.
