Tsunami

Tsunami was a German robot which competed in Series 7 of Robot Wars. It was a wedge-shaped robot with titanium armour and a full-pressure flipper. During its appearance in the UK Series, Tsunami flipped all three of its opponents out of the arena on the way to the heat final, where it was thrown out of the arena by X-Terminator. Prior to its entry in the UK series, Tsunami had finished as runner-up in German Robot Wars, losing out to Black Hole.

Series 7
"Perhaps the only thing that could stop this machine — over-confidence?"

- Jonathan Pearce's prophetic warning to Tsunami after the second round.

Tsunami breezed through the first two rounds, flipping Major Tom 3 out of the arena, and quickly following this up with Diabolus. The second round saw Constrictor sail out of the arena as well, proving Tsunami to be one of the most impressive robots of the series. However, up against X-Terminator, it flipped it over, but in an attempt to get it out of the arena, caused X-Terminator to land back on its wheels. This allowed X-Terminator to land several blows with its flywheel, and it eventually ran out of CO2 gas and broke down. X-Terminator charged the back of Tsunami, throwing it out of the arena. It was an ironic end for Tsunami.
