Robot Wars[]
Storm Force had an unlucky draw in Series 5 as it was up against the two-time and reigning UK Champions Chaos 2 in Round 1. Storm Force was on the back foot straight away in its battle, as Chaos 2 flipped it numerous times, but the barrel shape meant that Storm Force kept rolling back onto its wheels. It then started to gush smoke and was flipped into Matilda's flywheel. Chaos 2 then flipped it again and Storm Force stopped moving, it was then flipped onto the Pit of Oblivion which Chaos 2 then lowered by pressing the pit release button, sending Storm Force out of the competition.
Live Events[]
For 6 more years after, Storm Force went into retirement until it was sold to John Findlay of Roaming Robots in 2007, but because John had a busy schedule at his show, he had to rely on
different drivers to take turns in driving it so he sold Storm Force again in 2008 this time to Scottish roboteer Liam Bryant where it was given to him as a Christmas present. Storm Force is a well known robot out in the circuit today and is known for its low-centre of gravity combined with its cylindrical shaped body which allows it to roll back on its wheels if it gets flipped.
It fought in a robot rumble managing to defeat Dantomkia along the way. Storm Force fought in the 2009 Heavyweight Championships it was against Meggamouse. It put up a good fight but was ultimately defeated in a judges decision. Storm Force was seen once again in 2010 in Edinburgh where it was against Kronic and Big Nipper where it was made immobilized by the first flip Kronic made.
