Shunt/Robot Wars: Arenas of Destruction

Shunt was one of the original four house robots of Robot Wars. It was built like a bulldozer, featuring an axe, a plough shaped shovel and a scoop at the rear. Shunt, like the first five house robots, appears in the game Robot Wars: Arenas of Destruction, along with the other four Robot Wars video games.

Appearance and Armament
Shunt and the other five early house robots make their second videogame appearance in Robot Wars: Arenas of Destruction. In the series four version of the robot wars arena, Shunt is found in the bottom left CPZ, the one closest to the pit. The in-game counterpart of Shunt is relatively faithful to its real life version, with the correct colour scheme and accurate weapon depiction. However, Shunt's bulldozer scoop is static, and does not lift upwards, unlike Shunt in real life. Like all of the other house robots in the game, Shunt will only slightly stray from his CPZ to attack competitors that come near, a dangerous tactic, as Shunts CPZ is directly next to the pit. The only time that Shunt will fully escape his CPZ to attack is if a robot has been classed as fully immobile. Shunts method of attack would usually involve firing his axe whilst pushing, trying to scoop up robots with his shovel. Despite being flipped over the most out of all of the house robots, it is impossible to flip and immobilise Shunt completely, as he will always roll back onto his wheels.
