Shadow of Napalm was a pointed wedge-shaped robot entered by Dartford Girls Grammar in Series 4. Its weaponry consisted of a large lifting arm at the front and a small spike on the back of the robot. However, this weaponry was very ineffective and the robot had a very low top speed, which made it rather easy for its opponents to attack. It fell early in the competition to Dominator 2.
Somewhat surprisingly, Shadow of Napalm did not reappear. The Series 1 robot from Darford Girl's Grammar, Detonator, was used in its place to fight in the War of Independance special, whilst Napalm 2 which fought in Series 5 and Extreme 1, was mostly a black version of the Series 3 model (although rebuilt somewhat), rather than the upgraded version of Shadow of Napalm. The official guide for Robot Wars Extreme stated that Shadow of Napalm had been left as a "pile of junk", suggesting that the damage caused by Dominator 2 had been more severe than made apparant.

[edit] Series 4
Shadow of Napalm returned from Series 3 as the 25th seed and was placed against newcomers Major Tom and Disc-O-Inferno. At the start of the battle all three robots charged at each other with Disc-O-Inferno's weapon causing some minor dents on the fragile armour. However, Disc-O-Inferno made contact with Shadow of Napalm and the electronics short circuited, causing the machine to turn off. Shadow of Napalm was then placed against promising newcomer Dominator 2, with the axe-wielding robot relentlessly hammering Shadow of Napalm and eventually edging it toward the pit where Killalot pushed it in.
