      Information
      Terrorhurtz is the most successful heavyweight built by Team Hurtz from Oxfordshire. The original version was built in 2001 after the bad luck the team had with Killerhurtz. The best series of Robot Wars Terrorhurtz has competed in was Series 6 where it finished 4th in the competition beating seeds Panic Attack, Spawn Again and Bigger Brother on the way. It came back for Series 7 as the 3rd seed but the team withdrew due to technical problems. Since Robot Wars, Terrorhurtz has done very well in the FRA events winning the Heavyweight UK Championships twice in 2004 and 2009 becoming the first machine after Chaos 2 to reclaim its title, it has also finished runners-up in the UK Championships twice in 2005 and 2007. John Reid's machine is very feared by many roboteers around Europe due to its axe which has made a mess of plenty robots that have got in its way. The weapon is also so powerful, it causes the robot jump in fact it can even do a entertaining-looking victory dance with it!
