Hammer & Tong

Hammer & Tong was a robot that competed exclusively in the fourth series of Robot Wars. It was a six-wheel drive robot with a unique weapon, consisting of a lifting arm that concealed a large spike. When the arm was raised, the spike was brought out, whereby the arm could be brought down again as an axe. The spike would then tuck away when in contact with the ground, so that it would act as a flipper.

Despite this innovative weaponry, Hammer & Tong didn't fare too greatly in competition, reaching the second round before being beaten into submission by Stinger. The robot was retired after this tournament.

Series 4
Hammer & Tong made it through the first round because Clawed Hopper was flipped over by Bigger Brother, Hammer & Tong then got stuck on Bigger Brother's flipper through the rest of the fight. Hammer & Tong then had to go against Stinger, who managed to get a few good hits on Hammer & Tong and, apparently, those few hits managed to immobilize Hammer & Tong. The house robots later placed Hammer & Tong on the flipper and Hammer & Tong landed upside down. "Cosmetic damage to Hammer & Tong? As they say Mount Vesuvius is a firework!"
