HurricaneAndrew joined the Gametechmods forums in early June 2009, but has played Robot Arena since it's release in 2001, and has played Robot Arena 2 since 2003. In 2009 he found GTM and it's devotion to Robot Arena 2. HurricaneAndrew has been known mostly for faking his own suicide on GTM, although the community is slowly turning that into the occasional joke and moving on.

HurricaneAndrew rarely builds anymore, but he prefers DSL over stock due to the semi-realistic style of building in DSL. He had entered few tournaments early in his tenure at GTM, but has been more active in tournaments as of late.

Andrew built what is thought to be the first beetleweight hammer to be entered into a tournament. This robot and more of his notable robots can be found at the bottom of the page.

He refrains from much constructive activity lately, apart from occasionally giving advice in the showcases or posting a bot in his own. HurricaneAndrew is usually quick to get into arguments with other members, and has trolled and flamed fairly extensively, but has been a bit more tame after Naryar's warnings. He even vandalized his own wiki page for an unknown reason at one point, after which the page was deleted, only to be brought back a few months later.

HurricaneAndrew doesn't tolerate members that have very little knowledge, but aren't willing to learn (e.g.: Sylandro, and other n00bs,) and is quick to express his displeasure towards such members. He blames this type of member for the loss of some of the community's most respectable members (e.g.: Madiaba, Pyscolone, Infiniteinertia and many others).

While HurricaneAndrew has disappeared from GTM several times, he always seems to return after a short hiatus.

Got permabanned somewhere around late 2015 for trying to hack into Meganerdbomb's account. Came back under three names at various times (in order): Shrek, Goon, and ShootingPost, but got permabanned every time due to his easily recognizable attitude and style of posting. Under his ShootingPost moniker, invented the wildly popular GTM meme and copypasta "Wiggle-post" in the Chatterbox thread, before being permabanned once again by Kill343gs.
