Dynamite
Talk16this wiki
Dynamite was a loanerbot which participated in the UK vs Germany Special in Robot Wars: The Sixth Wars and German Robot Wars, representing Germany, making it one of only two loanerbots not to be used in the American Tournaments. It had a very strong lifter, but a high ground clearance, no self-righting mechanism and thin metallic armour. It was lent to Team Dynamite, who for unknown reasons were unable to compete with their own robot, and was named as such to match their T-shirts.

- "Thin armour, no self-righting mechanism, a high ground clearance, but the weaponry very strong, should win this one."
- — Jonathan Pearce's initial assessment
Dynamite was up against the full-body spinner Delldog in Round 1 of the UK vs Germany tournament. Delldog's disc was not working, but it was able to push Dynamite into Dead Metal. The House Robot sawed through Dynamite's shell, and when it was released, it stopped moving. Refbot counted Dynamite out and Sir Killalot placed it on the floor flipper. Dynamite flew through the air and shards of armour shattered off as it hit the floor. The House Robots came in and badly damaged Dynamite. All of Dynamite's armour was sheared off by Sir Killalot, who dropped it outside of the arena.
- "Dynamite? More like Dyno-Rod, totally toilet!"
