Agreed.


Mazakari - Looked awesome, and an awesome name. Iron Awe was immobile first!


Shredder (S5) - I was sure he'd beat Mousetrap, who only got to the semis in S4 by luck. Shredder backed into the pit!


G.B.H 2 - Looked great, but lost to Sir Chromealot, another robot I hate.

Let's look at how SC won in each war, shall we?

S3: Sheck Shock's axe was jammed down, and was ganged up by SC and Sir Killalot. SC was immobile at the end of the fight.

S4: Reactor did everything.

Extreme 1: Plunderbird was on the edge of the pit and considered immobile.

S5: Rohog broke down.

S6: Luck.

Sir chromalot was way beyond useless.
I mean on the show they always joked about diotor being useless but that could easily kick chromalots ass

Gemini.  All things considered, it has a pretty terrible win-record.  And those wheely bars really sabotaged its chances.

A friend of mine brought up an interesting point, why didn't Gemini enter the middleweight competition?  One half would weigh less than 50 kg's, well below the weight restriction.

if they got any damage in the MW class they had a spare everything for the robot :P

or they could have entered both like Typhoon/ Typhoon Twins

The only trouble with that is that their combined weight is over the weight limit. So in effect, if they were to enter the MW contest, they'd only be able to enter one half.

Yeah, and each robot by itself wasn't very good

wat?

thats the whole point of this discussion we are having...

one part of Gemini could toss a HW over so you would imagine it would be somewhat like the gravity of MW robots

Perhaps, i still don't think it would do that well, i mean they may aswell just make another robot entirely.

Panzer -  Lost to Evil Weevil in the heat final when it (Panzer) didn't even move!

Anyone who's lost to Sir Chromealot.

Diotor in Series 4 - Bolt From the Blue should've gone out.

Haardvark in Series 3 - Lost to Henry when he should've won.
