Warhog

**Warhog** was a modified vehicle that appeared in Carnage, where it got to The Dome. It would one of the three selected for the Wildcard Melee where it lost.

## Design

Warhog was a heavily modified Land Rover Discovery, where it was covered completely in spikes. The vehicle was armed with two cannons on top and had two bright green ramming "tusks" on the front. The vehicle was purposefully designed with large amounts of bright greens, pinks and purples to look as "awful" as possible and to stand out from the rest of the competition. Warhog was an incredibly sturdy vehicle, able to take huge amounts of punishment and only being defeated from being flipped.

### Etymology

Warhog's name is a pun on warthog, the name given to a genus of wild pigs, combined with 'war'.

## Vehicle History

### Series 1

In the first round, The Grid, Warhog faced The Overtaker and The Angry Bones.

At first all three cars avoided each other as they split off into different directions. The Angry Bones soon caught sight of The Overtaker and attempted to ram it, but ended up missing its target, while Warhog fire a t-shirt at both opponents, only for the wind to blow it back at Warhog. Eventually, The Pusher is unleashed which The Overtaker almost hits, however they then travel behind The Pusher to avoid conflict. Warhog attempted to ram into The Overtaker but was caught from behind by The Angry Bones who charged in, lifted it and slammed it against the centre. Warhog escapes but The Angry Bones pursues and catches it off guard, crashing into Warhog. As The Angry Bones struggled to move and push Warhog off the arena, behind The Angry Bones and Warhog The Overtaker charged in and smashed into backend of The Angry Bones. Warhog backed up and smashed repeatingly into The Angry Bones with The Overtaker doing the same from behind, sandwiching them between the two. A final ram causes Warhog to drive over The Angry Bones, immobilising it.

With The Angry Bones out, Finisher arrived and set fire to The Angry Bones.

In the Desert Race, Warhog faced Kinetic-D, Cat-astrophe and The Overtaker.

At first both Warhog and Cat-astrophe darted ahead neck and neck with each other but soon Cat-astrophe got the upper hand and shot straight out in front of the pack with the other three competitors being left far behind. Cat-astrophe eventually turned the corner and took the longer pathway to the finish as Kinetic-D managed to dart ahead of Warhog who had begun drifting behind, but things were far worse for The Overtaker which had drove off course before it got to the turning. As Cat-astrophe got closer to the finish, it began drifting off course and drove out of the designated lane, driving across the outside, it eventually drove back on track but only as it crossed the line. Kinetic-D and Warhog eventually finished while the much further back Overtaker was last. Despite winning the race, Cat-astrophe had broken the rules and as such Kinetic-D (being second) was given the chance to pick their opponents, whom they picked Warhog to fight in the next round.

In The Scrapyard, Warhog faced Kinetic-D.

Both Kinetic-D and Warhog sped around the arena at first but once the klaxon called for the pressure pad's opening, Kinetic-D darted across the arena and drove onto a platform, unleashing the Shredder. As soon as Shredder was unleashed it almost immediately slammed into the side of Warhog twice before Warhog sped away, only for Shredder to turn around slam into it a third time. Despite the heavy impacts, Warhog managed to get away with no damage, as Shredder returned to the centre, Kinetc-D was released and charged towards Warhog slamming in from behind and attempting to crush it only for Warhog to get away again. As Warhog circled around the arena, Kinetic-D charged through the centre and smashed into Warhog. Both vehicles seemed immobile from the charge. Warhog, despite having a completely destroyed rear wheel, managed to get moving and shunted Kinetic-D backwards and even drove on top of it, signifying Kinetic-D's defeat.

In the Heat Final, The Dome, Warhog faced Cat-astrophe.

Both competitors sped around the arena, near the pit in the centre with Warhog almost impacting the rear end of Cat-astrophe. Soon Cat-astrophe stopped waiting for Warhog to charge in, which it did, driving over the front of Cat-astrophe. However, due to the weight of Warhog, Cat-astrophe struggled to push it, which allowed Warhog to drive over and across the full length of Cat-astrophe. Warhog sped off allowing Cat-astrophe to chase behind, and with its superior speed sped into the back of Warhog, slamming it into a jackhammer which toppled Warhog slightly, but it drove off only for Cat-astrophe to immediately catch up and drive right up from behind but accidently drives into the scrap cars. As Warhog drives around the outer ring, Cat-astrophe drove through the inner circle, hitting a jackhammer before driving into the outer ring again, chasing after Warhog. Cat-astrophe finally smashed into the backend of Warhog, turning it and throwing Warhog over onto its side.

As a Heat Finalist, Unicorn fought in the Wildcard Melee against Spannered Monkeys and Unicorn.

All vehicles sped off, however, Unicorn chased after Spannered Monkeys and slammed into the back end of it. Spannered Monkeys managed to get away before any serious damage could be done, and took a sharp turn, where the pursuing Unicorn ended up darting ahead and crashing into a side wall. Unicorn backed up and gave chase to Spannered Monkeys again, however, Warhog slammed into the back of Unicorn. As Unicorn got away from Warhog, Spannered Monkeys lay in wait and charged towards the front of Unicorn, slamming into it while Warhog crashed into the back end. Warhog eventually turned to attack Spannered Monkeys as The Pusher was unleashed. Spannered Monkeys slipped away from Warhog, who in turn, sped off leaving the immobile Unicorn victim to The Pusher. The Pusher slowly shunted Unicorn across the arena before dumping it out of the arena. With one down, Spannered Monkeys sat and waited near the edge of the arena while Warhog darted around the arena, nearly hitting The Pusher at some points. Spannered Monkeys also nearly impacted the back end of The Pusher but soon spotted Warhog's direction, which was heading towards the outside ring of the arena. Warhog darted away as Spannered Monkeys shot straight across the arena and sideswiped Warhog, sending Warhog rolling violently and hurling out of the arena.
