Spawn of Scutter, the spike was starting to be a little outdated by Series 4, but it did quite well in its heat and got up to the semis, I think it should have a little light shed onto it (figure of speech)

Spawn of Scutter was an awesome robot, what are you talking about.

Anyways, X-Terminator. The weapons were terrible.

TAN surprised me- Such a simplistic design with such a simplistic goal and yet it kept on winning and winning. What an excellent bot.

Warhog.  I thought for sure that bot would win a battle somewhere down the line.

Series 5 Ankle Biter. Both for making the quarters and for not getting flipped onto its back until that point.

Eruption suprised me. I thought it would be a bust in the UK HW division.

X-Terminator in Series 7, after causing a huge upset in the heat final against Tsunami, then laying in heavily to Bulldog Breed.
It surprised me the amount of damage that was done with such a small flywheel.

Tbh, Black Hole surprised me. Didn't think it would be powerful enough to flip robot out of the arena when I first saw it, and what it did to Tsunami was just hilarious.

Moebius losing to Anklebiter was a surprise, as was Anklebiter's entire Season 5 run.

Panic Attack beating Cassius was a surprise in my opinion. Also, Tornado in Series 4, got past Gemini.

Agreed.
That was impressive.
