- "Fatty - one of the largest we've seen on Robot Wars! It's here for you all to see. In fact, you can hardly miss it!"
- — Jonathan Pearce's in-game commentary
Fatty is a super heavyweight competitor robot in the game Robot Wars: Arenas of Destruction. Its weapons are a flywheel and a chainsaw and it is armoured in titanium. It cannot self-right if it is flipped. It costs 12,330 credits to buy.
Strategies[]
Using Fatty[]
The chainsaw is useless, but the flywheel is far more effective, so it is a much more useful weapon to cause damage with. Ram opponents with the flywheel to try and dislodge bits of armour. Be wary against flippers, as Fatty cannot self-right.
Against Fatty[]
As the AI will choose the chainsaw over the flywheel, it means that Fatty is hopeless against flippers, so the easiest tactic is either to flip it over with a flipping weapon, or ram it into the side of the arena, as it will probably be flipped over on making contact with the side wall. Fatty also lacks pushing power due to its domed disc shape, so another tactic is to push it into the hazards to inflict damage.
Trivia[]
- Despite its name, Fatty is not the heaviest robot in the game. Real-life competitors such as Behemoth and Hypno-Disc weigh more according to the game's statistics, as well as fictional "super heavyweight" robots such as Xmas Destruction and Beckatron.
