< Electra >

Creator .........: Cossette Akira
Creation Date ...: March 8, 2077
Special Abilities: Ball Lightning, Rolling Thunder, Electric Shards


  Manual:

In the early stages of the exploration of Jupiter, it was realized that almost no electronic equipment could function in the incredible storms of the planet's surface. Using a crystal found only on Jupiter's moon Io, scientists were able to create Electra, a HAR capable of withstanding any type of charged particle. Though the crystal is very strong, it is also one of the most expensive molecules in existence. Until this contest, the Electra unit was seldom seen in public.

As a combat robot, Electra is formidable. Not only is it fast, but even a touch from its hands can short circuit normal machinery. It can form a flying ball of lightening which lasts for a short duration and explodes for damage capable of turning a house into rubble. Electra can also fly forward, rolling itself into a ball and striking with considerable force. For defense, the unit can send small shards of electric force which do a small amount of damage but is good for keeping an enemy at arm's length.


  Matts:

The Electra, while great for use in Two Player Mode, requires taking advantage of a couple of those wonderful AI bugs that let us win when nothing else will in One Player & Tournament Mode. Relying primarily on lightning (yes, a pun WAS intended) fast moves and a great defensive Special Move(Electric Shards), the Electra is a 'bot for none but the most nimble of thumbs. Those of you destitute of the requisite motor skills may wish to choose a slower 'bot or go play Links 386.
