Terrorhurtz returns after last series when they disappointingly came coming third in the head-to-head stage despite being one of the most advanced robots in the competition, John and Nick put their previous defeat down to the reliability issues with their weapon. However, this time round they have the biggest axe in the competition which develops one tonne of force with spinner proof armour and an advanced plastic chassis.

What makes Terrorhurtz unique...

John has been building robots for 18 years, and after perfecting Terrorhurtz for months in computer aided design and simulations, they are ready for battle. The axe is far more powerful than last time, one tonne of force in each hit, moving at 100 miles per hour.
