I stand by Wild Thing 2 being a good robot. It was built for endurance and does exactly what it says on the tin. The chassis was incredibly strong and the robot very well engineered to sustain an awful lot of damage and keep going. It played to its strengths and outlasted a lot of robots, including damaging and shoving Vader around in the heat final. Also notice how it never went for the pit release button, I think a lot of the time the Addams family were there to entertain with good battles than particularly progress, and every Wild Thing machine has competed in a battle that was exhilirating.

I think technically the worst designed Wild Thing would be the Fifth wars one, but only because the disc axle was prone to bending and breaking because it was only supported on the one side and quite thin, which is why Wild Thing's disc stopped a lot in series 5, and that added a fair amount of damage points against it, but it still often fought in a lot of very entertaining battles nonetheless.

I may be a little defensive because Wild Thing is my favourite robot, but who wouldn't be about theirs. I will agree the sixth wars machine wasn't the best at fighting, but I think it still did more than people give it credit for.
