Diotoir/Robot Wars: Arenas of Destruction

Diotoir was a competitor robot in robot wars that was included in the game Robot Wars Arenas of Destruction. Diotoir's claim to fame is its flammable fur, it reached a heat final, and defeated future champion and 12th seed at the time Tornado. Diotoirs predecessors, Nemesis came first in its Gauntlet and Trial of Series 1 before finally succumbing to eventual champions Roadblock. The game uses Diotoir's series 3 incarnation, due to the flipping arm being used. Due to the top armour showing. However this may have been Diotoirs series 4 incarnation without the over weight top armour being taken off.

Appearence and Armament
Like its real life counterpart, Diotoir is a polka dotted hectagonal-wedge shaped robot. It has avery useful flipping arm, however the in-game Diotoir does not catch fire when driving over a flame jet, yet its armour does shed remarkably quickly.

Using Diotoir
Diotoir is one of the best competitor robots in the game, its lifter is quite effective, however can sometimes unreliably break off. Its armour can shed quickly, however the best tactics are to flip robots over, or lure them into pits or traps.

Against Diotoir
Diotoirs armour isn't great, and so can be damaged quite easily. Diotoir can become quite vulnerable to attacks when its flipping arm breaks off. It is also a good tactic to shove or lure Diotoir into pits and traps.

Differences from real life

 * The two springs protruding from the area around Diotoirs flipping arm are not visible
 * The aerial on top of the robot isn't on the in-game counterpart
 * In the game, it isn't possible for Diotoir to catch fire. However its armour does deplete.
