I think TAN's design was smart and well made if you ignore the exposed back.Well, Napalm was decent enough in Series 2, but it quickly became redundant later on. Now TAN? Its tactics were what got me most. What excitement its battles had before were quickly turned into boring, predictable scaled-up games of UFO Grabber. Just ask Gravity and Disc-O-Inferno. Never did any damage either, come to mention it. And we could've had Gravity in the Third World Championship, but noooo. Well yeah, Napalm was good in the first few seasons but as bots were getting better and destructive, they just stayed in the same place.

The key difference being that Chaos 2 was amazing

The key difference being that Chaos 2 was amazing Chaos 2 were good, but should've done some modifications cause as soon as everyone started using Co2 flippers, Chaos 2 were starting to be no better than the rest of the flippers. Chaos 2 will always be epic though.
Yeah...sadly it did get a bit outclassed later in life. But it will always have that unmatched RW 20-match winning streak, and being the first robot to put another out of the arena And in contrast, other than the Best Newcomer award in Series 6, what did Dantomkia win in comparison? (Just an example )

Why you guys hatin' on TaN? It's basically the most intelligently designed robot ever, and absolutely beautiful to watch in battle.
