Suprised no one voted for Sgt Bash, though he was crap by Series 4.
I voted for Dead Metal, but Shunt's awesome as well.

KILLERHURTZ AT ITS FINEST:

(Image removed from quote.)
You're forgetting its record stateside, mate- took Second Place in the BattleBots Long Beach Tournament of 1999 (IIRC), and picked up the Best Driver Award. Here, it drove into the pit because since competing in an arena without a pit, they'd forgotten it was there.
 
Still one of RW's all-time Epic Fail moments, though  :P

To bring this back, I might give a special mention to Chaos 2- still right up there as one of my all-time favourites, right from when I first started watching it. It does disappoint me to think that everyone lost faith in it because of its later days, but back in its prime, it was in a class of its own.
It was the only RW Champion to successfully defend its title, had the most consecutive wins (at 19, IIRC), and was the original pioneer of OOTAs and gas-powered flippers on the whole, being one of the very first ones designed not to lift, but to throw.

Even to this day, I definitely consider it to be one of the legends of RW and robot combat in general, no matter how many fancy titles Razer was set up to win in comparison. Simply awesome.
