Razer/Robot Wars: Advanced Destruction

Razer is a British heavyweight robot, that competed from the second series of Robot Wars until the sixth, finishing as grand champion of Series 5, and runner up of Series 6. Razer's weapon was the famous hydraulic piercing 'beak', one of the most powerful weapons of all. Razer appears as a competitor robot in the GameBoy Advance game Robot Wars: Advanced Destruction, its second appearance in Robot Wars video games. Razer appeared in all but one Robot Wars video game.

Appearance and Armament
Razer can be clearly distinguished on this game due to its famous beak-like weapon and self-righting wings. There are however some subtle differences. The wheels are red and green, instead of red and blue. The self-righting wings have square holes, instead of round, and they permanently jut out from the robot, instead of being tucked closer to the claw. It is interesting to note that Razer is the only robot that has two positions it will self-right from, one for each side it could fall on to.

Razer wields its devastating claw weapon, that easily cut through most opponents in the TV series. However, this is not represented in the game, as crushing weapons work like an axe, battering opponents rather than piercing them. Nevertheless, Razer's weapon is effective to cause damage.

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

Using Razer
The claw is a powerful ally when playing as Razer, and attacking with it should very quickly cause major damage to opponents. It is best to avoid flippers, however, as Razer has a susceptible ground clearance, despite the game stats listing it as zero.

Against Razer
Razer's main weakness is flippers, so it would be a good idea to attack Razer with a flipping weapon, but it is best to avoid the claw, as it is quite powerful.

Differences between the Game and Real Life

 * The wheels are the wrong colour (green replaces blue)
 * The self-righting arms protrude, rather than being attached to the beak, and the holes are square not round
