Diotoir/Robot Wars: Advanced Destruction

Diotoir is a British heavyweight robot, that competed from the third series of Robot Wars, until the sixth series, on the way reaching two heats finals, and winning the Extreme 1 Tag Team Terror competition, in addition to the hearts of the crowd. The Diotoir team had previously entered with Nemesis, which competed in the first two wars. Diotoir appears as a competitor robot in the GameBoy Advance game Robot Wars: Advanced Destruction, its third video game appearance, it would go on to appear in the PC version of Robot Wars: Extreme Destruction, having already appeared in Robot Wars: Metal Mayhem and Robot Wars: Arenas of Destruction.

Appearance and Armament
In this game, Diotoir is easily recognisable as its real-life counterpart, because of its familiar red polka dot body and boggle eyes. Like in real life, Diotoir is covered with the fur that it is famous for, but it is not any more vulnerable to flame than other robots.

Diotoir is armed with the lifting arm that the robot was intended to wield in The Fourth Wars, although this doesn't totally represent the Diotoir seen in Series 4, as the team encountered troubles which ultimately left Diotoir weaponless and armourless. For obvious reasons, this crippled version of Diotoir is not represented in the game.

Diotoir, along with Dominator 2 and Tornado are the default robots, and so do not need to be unlocked.

Using Diotoir
The lifting arm of Diotoir is very good at getting underneath opponents, so the best tactic is to repeatedly flip opponents around the arena.

Against Diotoir
Diotoir's weapon is particularly adept at getting underneath opponents, so it is unwise to attack Diotoir head on. Flipping weapons should have no trouble with flipping Diotoir from the back, otherwise, pushing Diotoir around the arena is useful.

Differences between the Game and Real Life

 * The weapon is longer than real life
 * The eyes are further apart than in real life
 * There is an odd bit at the back of Diotoir that isn't present on the real robot.
