Shunt/Robot Wars: Metal Mayhem

Shunt was a House Robot designed to resemble a bulldozer. He boasted three powerful weapons; a lifting scoop, snowplough and a powerful axe. He was very effective at pushing robots around the Robot Wars Arena, and piercing them with his diamond-edged axe. Shunt appeared in all five of the Robot Wars video games.

Appearance and Armament
Robot Wars: Metal Mayhem was the first Robot Wars game, and as such it was the first video game appearance for Shunt and the other four House Robots around at that time. Due to the Game Boy Color's comparatively poor graphics, the arenas and robots could not be very detailed, and this is also true for Shunt.

Shunt is arguably, the least recognisable of the House Robots as his real-life counterpart in the game, and this is possibly why he does not feature in the Grudge Match and War Zone Modes. All three of his weapons are, however, visible in the game and his colouring is fairly accurate. The snowplough isn't at a sharp enough angle though, and his axe more resembles a mace on an arm due to the blade being too wide. Despite the poor graphics parts of the robot can be made out, such as the box section around the wheels and the bodywork surrounding the axe.

Shunt does not feature in the arena battles, instead featuring in the Gauntlet mode as the first obstacle on the far-right route. Both Shunt's axe and pneumatic scoop constantly move during the Gauntlet, and he uses these two weapons simultaneously to damage competitors. Like all flipping robots in Robot Wars: Metal Mayhem, Shunt's lifting scoop simply damages opponents rather than flipping them.
