Interesting to see Carbite and apollo in the same heat.
They cut mr speed squared in half :D

Glad to see crushtacean again.
It has always been a personal favorite of mine.

Hobgoblin and Tauron are particularly interesting bots that might cause an upset or two.

However, the one I really want to watch is Coyote.  It kinda reminds me of Diesector.

Crushtacean is back? I am surprised!

Yeah, but it's in a very spinner-heavy heat however. Not sure how long it'll survive against modern day spinners but it's good to see Crushtacean again.

I think the award for "Most Improved Robot" can go to (Kill-E) Crank-E. That thing actually looks pretty ****ing good. A worthy successor to the legendary Pussycat. Still, rooting for Push to Exit though.

The TR2 team mentioned that they weren't coming back this year. Can't remember the reason, though.

Yeah, the bots this year are sexy. Love the design of Rapid. Bit of a shame to not see Razer or Storm, though.

They apparently didn't do enough upgrades or additions to come back. This of course is total BS, as they totally overhauled TR2 for a new one seen in Episode 1 of RW:BOTS. As a result, I think personally Mentorn were either scared of flippers not working properly because they filmed in a Scotland warehouse in the middle of bloody winter (the morons) so CO2 might freeze up in the bottles of pneumatics, they prbably wanted to shift the balance of robots from flippers over to spinners, or (conspiracy theory) they may have been scared that they'd have a second Flipper champion, similar to how they feared Storm II would be another rammer champion after Tornado, and chose to not accept TR2 as a result, but as a courtesy gesture gave them a reserve status and a appearance on BOTS.
