Panic Attack/Robot Wars: Advanced Destruction

Panic Attack is a British heavyweight robot, that competed from the second series of Robot Wars, until the end of the shows run, placing first overall in Series 2, and failing to reach the heat final only once. Panic Attack is armed with a set of lifting forks that it used to lift opponents off the ground, before dragging it around the arena. Panic Attack appears as a competitor robot in the GameBoy Advance game Robot Wars: Advanced Destruction, its third of four appearances in video games, only not appearing in the GameBoy version of Robot Wars: Extreme Destruction.

Appearance and Armament
Panic Attack is easily recognisable as its real-life equivalent, with its yellow and black paintjob and electric lifting forks. Due to graphical limitations, the writing on the side of Panic Attack is missing, instead replaced with yellow and black hazard warnings

Like in real life, Panic Attack is equipped with electric powered lifting forks, but unlike real life, they cannot drag other opponents, just lift them. The srimech on the top of Panic Attack is also visible, but cannot be seen in action, although Panic Attack can self-right on this game

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

Using Panic Attack
Panic Attack is good at slotting the forks underneath opponents, and flipping them, which makes flipping rivals a good tactic. Other than that, Panic Attack is an above average pusher, so you could try pushing opponents into hazards

Against Panic Attack
Panic Attack is good at getting underneath opponents, but is undefended on three sides, so flipping is still a useful tactic if it exposes a vulnerable side. It is however much easier to use an axe or spinning weapon to hack away at Panic Attack until it breaks down
