Information
Thermidor 2 is a robot that had competed in Robot Wars since series 3. The first version took part in Series 3 but reached the second round of its heat losing to Scutter's Revenge. Thermidor 2 has done well in Robot Wars beating Kronic the Wedgehog in its heat final before losing to Pussycat in the Semi-finals of Series 4, reached the semi-finals of Series 7 beating Mighty Mouse on the way before losing to the eventual champion Typhoon 2 and also finished as runner-up to Kan-Opener in the Robot Wars Extreme 2 Annihilator. Thermidor 2's best moments have also included its Mayhem battle where it became the first machine to throw two robots out the arena in the same fight, doing so to Behemoth and Stinger and also the Flipper Frenzy where it ganged up on Sgt Bash with the help of Chaos 2 & Bigger Brother and also won!
