- "From the industrial workshop of robot hell... Smog Head follows us in its presence!"
- — In-game quote from Jonathan Pearce
Smog Head is a fictional competitor robot in the game Robot Wars: Arenas of Destruction.
The name Smog Head could be a reference to the phrase "Smeg Head", made popular by the sci-fi sitcom Red Dwarf, which former Robot Wars presenter Craig Charles stars in.
Appearance and Armament[]
Smog Head is a middleweight class robot with a bevelled wedge-shaped body, four wheels, a two-stroke petrol engine as its power source and polycarbonate armour. In its default configuration, the robot's weapon is a Spring Powered Axe, while it also features two pipes and two Police Sirens as extras. Smog Head cannot self-right through any method.
Strategies[]
Using Smog Head[]
Smog Head has a useful pick axe which is reasonably powerful, although it takes a while to retract. Smog Head is armoured in polycarbonate, so is quite resilient in a melee or annihilator battle. Smog Head is also pretty quick due to the two-stroke engine, although that can sometimes be subject to breaking down. Smog Head must try and avoid flippers at all costs as it can't self-right at all. Plus, with the axe, it will only have one effective strike before needing to retract, so keep that in mind when fighting.
Against Smog Head[]
Smog Head has a powerful weapon, so it would be wise to avoid it, and Smog Head's armour can take a bit of a beating before it starts breaking away. Smog Head can sometimes mysteriously break down due to the petrol engine, however that shouldn't really be counted on for a win. As Smog Head cannot self-right, a flipping weapon would work best against it.
