Storm 2
Storm 2 (commonly known as Storm II) was a robot that competed in the British television game show ''Robot Wars''. It was a small invertible box-shaped robot with a wedge on the front. The robot was originally built with no weapons but the team was asked to add an active weapon in order to take part in the seventh series, so the team came up with a built-in lifting arm, very similar to the American robot ''BioHazard''. However, it was not the weapon but the immense speed and power of the robot that did the most damage to its opponents, managing to throw The Steel Avenger out of the Arena in its Series 7 heat final. The robot competed in the seventh series of Robot Wars, winning The Third World Championship at the end of the series, having won the 16th seed into the competition by being victorious in the New Blood Championship of Extreme 2.
Storm 2 was created by Ed Hoppitt. He was joined by Tim Bence and Andrew Rayner. Hoppitt and Bence would alternate driving during the wars. Not long after the filming of New Blood, Andrew Rayner got married, moved house and began a family, so his place on the team was filled by Bence's fiance, Meral Kolac.
Storm 2 is somewhat notable because it is the most prominent robot never to lose a battle through KO, only losing one battle on a very controversial judges' decision. The said decision was the grand final of Series 7, losing the title to Typhoon 2. The announcement of Typhoon's win caused a large amount of booing from the audience; host Craig Charles had demonstrated through a cheering contest beforehand that the audience believed Storm II to be the victor, having been the most aggressive in the battle throughout. The booing was so loud that Mentorn, the producers of Robot Wars, had to add canned applause.
Like many other robots, Storm 2 also competed in ''Techno Games'' as Ickle Toaster in the Football and Sumo events. The original Storm was never seen in Robot Wars, but competed in various robot combat events across the UK and the ''Dutch Robot Games''.
