Biggest Weakness Thor’s armour is its biggest weakness, as most of the robot’s weight is in the weapon, and he had to compromise somewhere to keep it within the weight limit.

Thor has an extremely powerful pneumatic axe, capable of causing ‘fatal damage to an opponent’s robot with one blow.’ The axe is noted for being ‘low pressure,’ which improves its reliability. Thor’s axe is so powerful it has smashed up a caravan – Jason has also destroyed washing machines, microwaves and other household appliances. Thor can easily tow a one tonne car, and has the capacity and width to push two robots around at once.

What makes Thor unique...

The motor drive is four times more powerful than the old Robot Wars version of Thor and is much more reliable. The hammer is again three times more powerful, faster and more dependable.
