Seems like the guys that made the comics watched a little to mzny movies. It seems that they've watched the Predator duo (AVP came out in 2004) and decided to stick the self-destruct on one of the robots.

Also, CO2 would never explode on robot wars, regardless to what happened to them. N2 is more dangerous, trapping the air to the top of the area and (I believe) freezing virtually everything...
