User blog comment:RA2/Robot Wars Rankdown: Extreme 1 & Series 5/@comment-29116446-20180719181125

God I hate Wikia sometimes - just did two paragraphs worth, then came up with an error message!

Cut: Hypno-Disc. It had a good Series 5, but it lost to Firestorm 3 and Bigger Brother, and in my opinion, it didn't perform as well as Series 3 and 4. It's Extreme went abysmally. It had a good Mayhem win, but performed badly in the Annihilator, and it also lost to TX-108 and Nasty Warrior, two machines that weren't the best. By no means does it have the worst win-loss record for X1/S5, but it isn't on the good side of it either.

Pool: Firestorm 3. Quite simply, Razer had 1 loss over X1/S5, and that was to Pussycat, which was arguably at it's prime. Bigger Brother had that miracle comeback over Hypno-Disc, and that leaves Firestorm 3, which despite winning good battles, arguably should have won it's World Championship heat.

Final Pool: Chaos 2, Disc-O-Inferno, Dominator II, Drillzilla, Firestorm 3 Pussycat, S3, Tornado, Wild Thing
