One hit knock outs included being flipped by an arena spike or falling into the pit of oblivion. This, in turn, linked to the War Zone mode, which was the same as the Grudge Matches, except the player's opponents were preselected, and eight of them had to be fought and beaten in a row to win. The next mode was the Grudge Match mode, which allowed the player to select a robot to control and an opponent to fight in a standard one-on-one battle, with best of three results. Players can choose one of a hardened pneumatic spike, a spiked hammer, a vertically-mounted circular saw, or a rear-hinged flipper, the latter of which is largely pointless, as robots can only be flipped over in the game via arena spikes. Though it is not certain whether this has an effect in game, players can choose from high, medium and low gear ratios.ĭisappointingly, the range of weapons included in the Workshop is very limited. Unique to Metal Mayhem, players can select the gear ratio of their chosen motor. It is unknown how much impact the choice of motors has in battle. The lawnmower motor is simply described as 'strong and steady', the wiper motor 'slow and strong' and the winding motor as 'very slow and very strong'. The 'small motor' offers speed but not a lot of torque, whereas the car starter motor offers speed and power, but drains relatively quickly.

Players next have a choice of five motors, which vary in speed and power. The four options are a classic wedge, a narrow wedge (similar to Grunt), a domed body and 'the egg', which is similar to the domed body but is more compact and features four exposed wheels. Players can name their robot once complete, and this name will show up in battle cards, and on any trophies the player may win using it.įirst, players must choose a shell, which dictates the shape of the robot. Customisation was very limited, with only four categories to allow players to personalise their own creation. Robot Workshop allowed players to build their own robots. The game featured a selection of modes which allowed players to compete in trials and 1v1 battles similar to the real show, using one of a handful of real-life robots, or a custom creation. The game with the box and instruction book In addition there were other arenas set up for the trial modes. War Zone - Metal Mayhem featured only one main battle arena, loosely based on the Series 3 incarnation.
