Hey guys. Anderson9132 here and this is my lists page. On this page you will find all sorts of lists based off of my opinions on certain topics of the show Robot Wars. So lets let the lists begin shall we?

My top ten most favourite Robot Wars Robots
Now everyone has their favourite robots and many users have made lists on their preferred robots. This is my list of the ten best robots in my opinion.

10. Arnold A. Terminegger - Many people reading this will probably be wondering why I have included this robot as one of my favourites. Well it is simple really. This robot it almost indestructible! It only ever lost two fights, one against Exterminator 2 and the other against Pussycat and both times it only lost on a judges decision. Now this doesn't make it seem indestructible at first, but when you think that it's loss against Pussycat was after four rounds of constant battling in an Annihilator, of which consisted of Hypnodisc, Splinter, Thermador 2, Exterminator and, of course Pussycat, then yes it does seem rather indestructible. Now for a robot of this strength, you would expect it to be a greatly engineered robot that cost extreme amounts of money and would have one of the most unique designs in history but it didn't. It was basically a box with a lifter and axe on it. So then you have to think maybe it was lucky, but no, it wasn't. It got stuck into it's fights and gave everyone a good battle, despite being the underdog of the entire competition. It even got severe internal damage throughout the Annihilator and yet it STILL wouldn't go down. For such a simple, weak looking robot, Arnold A. was strong and tough and deserves this place on the list.

9. Stinger - When I look at Robot Wars competitors I look for unique robots with effective designs. And Stinger just slots right into this category. Sure, it may seem like a long spike with wheels attached but it was very unique in it's own right. Now, I know the The Master from the early 90's American Robot Wars was the originator of the design where the robot's components were kept inside the wheels, however that is not why this robot is unique. This robot is unique for it's weapon. Now it may not be as deadly as some of the other weapons on the show however it did something that not many others could and that was bludgeon it's opponents the death. Instead of flipping or crushing robots it span and hit robots with a lot of force, causing damage to the electronics of the machines and eventually beating them into submission. It was this tactic that got them a default third place in series four, which was well deserved in my opinion. Also it's design was very effective as it was very difficult to get a hold of. Sure the tyres were exposed but only three times did this prove to be a downfall for Stinger when it was taken out by Killerhutz, Pussycat and S3 respectively and even then, only two of those bouts were won by KO, with it's fight against Pussycat being lost via the judges. Stinger, in my opinion was tough, durable and unique in it's own right and it was just a shame and criminal that it wasn't allowed in series 7.

8. Onslaught - Another thing I love about certain robots is how they look like they wont last long, yet they somehow prove to be effective robots. Onslaught is an obvious case here and whilst it never did well in the main competition it is on this list because of how it performed in the Southern Annihilator. In this special everyone sighted Razer as the odds on favourite to win and, whilst it did go on to win, Onslaught gave it one hell of a fight and proved tough throughout the entire episode. In the first fight it gave Behemoth a few near misses and nearly toppled it and in the second fight it helped Behemoth nearly beat Razer. However, Onslaught really shone in the third battle where it showed no fear to Attila the Drums spinning power and continuously drove on and attacked it whilst Razer was cowardly and didn't attempt to attack it, choosing instead to chase onslaught around, only to fail to do so.And in the final it proved strong and resilient against Razer and it wasn't even Razer who beat them. It was in fact Matilda who ruined Onslaught's chances of a claim to fame and what really didn't help was the obviously staged Razer/Matilda moment. Still Onslaught makes this list for basically being a radio controlled car yet still being able to hold off Razer.

7. Chaos 2 - What can't be said about this robot? It is the only robot to win more than one series (and two in a row at that), the first robot to flip another out of the arena and it had a greatly effective design, with a powerful weapon. This will be rather short because not much can be said that isn't already known but I can't just leave it at that so I will say this. Chaos 2 was a masterpiece of engineering. An Icon of sorts. It was a god among robots. The only reason it is so low is it's deterioration and the fact that I think other robots are just better then it for their respective reasons.

6. Behemoth - Behemoth was beautiful. It was big, strong, it had an effective weapon and always gave a good fight. Now I know it didn't get very far in the main competition however it shone greatly in several matches. Two of these matches were against Razer, which it lost wrongly both times via the judges. Another was against Hypnodisc, in which it controlled entire match and won via KO. However, it's best moment in my opinion was its fight against Stinger in Extreme One. In this fight it used its new axe weapon and it's powerful scoop to grapple up Stinger and carry it to the pit. This is one of the greatest performances I have ever seen in the show and one of the greatest displays of control and weapon use. These few battles have proved to show how brilliant Behemoth could really be.

5. Cerberus - Now Cerberus never really proved much in Robot Wars but the robot was a thing of beauty. It was gleaming and pretty and it also had a bit of power behind it. But the main reason it is on this list is that it was capable of getting the fasted Immobilisation against Griffon in Series 3 and it held this spot until series 7. That alone is worth a high spot, especially how everyone bad mouths it. If only it had a reliable srimech. It could have done better.

4. Plunderbird - Now this is a very interesting robot to be placed on this list for two reasons. One, they rarely did well and Two, because there were five different versions so you must be wondering which one my favourite was. Well the answer to that is actually all of them, but for different reasons each which I will now discuss.

• Plunderbird 1: This robot was unique for the time as it had interchangeable weaponry. It's just a shame it was so unlucky in the gauntlet, especially when it got screwed over by stock robot WYSIWYG.

• Plunderbird 2: This version of Plunderbird is my joint favourite along with Number Five. The reason for this is because of it's immense strength and power. it pushed it's opponents around with ease and made it through to the semi finals without any hassle, but against fell victim to bad luck in the gauntlet.

• Plunderstorm: Despite not moving, it at least looked cool and sleek, unlike many robots in series 3.

• Plunderbird 4: This version was the first to have a claw and whilst it did not do much, it still looked vastly improved and actually moved. However, it was relatively weaker then it's brothers.

• Plunderbird 5: This version of Plunderbird is my joint favourite along with Number Two. It was quick and agile, plus it had a new shape, giving it a new improved look and it was four wheel drive, which was nice to see in a Plunderbird machine. If only it hadn't met S3, it may have done well, especially when most of the robots in series 5 moved two feet forward before breaking down.

In my opinion each of the Plunderbird machines was good in it's own right, with Numbers Two and Five being fantastic and underrated robots. If only they had come back with Plunderbird 2's Power and Plunderbird 5's speed. It could have been a fantastic robot.
