Thermidor 2/Robot Wars: Metal Mayhem

Thermidor 2 is a British heavyweight robot that competed in third series of Robot Wars, and continued until the end of the show's run, reaching the semi-finals twice. This was the first Robot Wars video game released, and so it was the first appearance of Thermidor II, and it would later go on to appear in one more video game.

Appearance and Armament
Robot Wars: Metal Mayhem was the first Robot Wars game and as such Thermidor II was one of the first competitor robots to be playable. Due to the Game Boy Color's comparatively poor graphics, the arenas and robots could not be very detailed, and the same goes for Thermidor II.

In this game, the robot called Thermidor II is infact modeled on the original robot from that team, Thermador. Consequently, the potent flipper of its successor is not present, instead there is a pair of lobster pincers, and a spike, which is static in this game, but moved on the show. Thermidor attacks by closing the pincers, but this does not grab the opponent, merely crushes them. Thermidor is vulnerable to being flipped by the floor spikes, one of only six robots to be affected by this weakness.

Differences between game and real life

 * Thermidor's spike is static in the game, where as it moves in real life
 * Thermidor's pincers crush in the game, but grab in real life
 * The model is built on Thermidor II's predecessor Thermador
