Explosion is the third featherweight created by the Invade team, the heavyweight Eruption is based on Explosion. Explosion was created in 2008 and ever since has had huge success. Just like Eruption it has been caught up in the Eruption/Beast rivalry but in this case it's against Beauty not Beast .
Live Events[]
Explosion has been successful in the championships it has entered for example in the 2011 featherweight championship it came runners up and in the 2015 World Championship for featherweights it managed to to become champions.
One of Explosion's first major success was winning the featherweight tag team championship of 2009. After that it fought in the 2011 UK Championship in which it lost in the grand final but in a very close and well fought battle. The same happened in 2012.
In the 2015 World Championships, Explosion flew through the rounds and Quarter finals, it reached the Semi-Finals where it met Beauty 8 and simply chucked out in a matter of seconds. The Grand Final saw Explosion against Beauty 2 where at first it seemed Beauty was on top however just like Beauty 8 it was flipped out of the arena, making Explosion the World Featherweight Champion.
Explosion has fought minor live event battles and has survived most of them without interference from other machines or house robots Matilda or Olly (sometimes even Major Damage !) Unlike the championships Explosion has been caught out a few time and flipped out by other flipper robots or has accidentally driven into the pit.
