I think it's likely that they kept it that style just so it is easily recognizable as the fan favorite that it was in the past.

This is most likely the case. You need to have at least one classic BattleBot.

It's updating the page in batches. First it was Gears Awaken, then returning teams from A-I and Warrior Clan, then new robots from A-O, then returning teams J-O. The rest of the teams will be up soon enough.

I believe the S2 Nightmare is all new from what I've heard.

What did they do to Warhead? Why is it a T-Rex now?

I like the looks of a lot of the newcomers.

I also think its pretty interesting the amount of clamps and drop-down sawblades. Previously it was only what, SOB/That Darn Dustpan, and now we see like 4 of them.

Honestly I'm wondering whats under the sandbox.

Also it's pretty much fuked against any HS/VS.

.....

I'm still rooting for it, above every other other bot
(Except Nightmare and Whyatchi)

Last time I looked on the Battlebots website it said there was a drum. It might have changed, I dunno.

Edit:

Robot: Mega Tento
Type: Capturer with Drum spinner

Should be pretty cool to watch it getting splattered by Poison Arrow in the Qualifiers. ;)
