User blog:Jimlaad43/My Overall All-Stars

The definition of an All Star robot is open for interpretation. Usually you could say that any robot that has won a heat is an All-Star, but this isn't a solid definition. There are multiple heat winners that are pretty terrible, and lots more non-heat winners who certainly fill the criteria to be an All Star. Therefore I have coined the term "Overall All Star", which is most relevant for fantasy battles in The Arena.

Overall All Stars is a title I personally give to robots I see as competent and strong in battles that either showed certain qualities in the show or are theoretically great and avoided luck on the show. The general criteria I use to denote if a robot is what I would consider an "Overall All Star" is "Would I be surprised if this robot progressed from a heat in a Ragnabot tournament?".

Now, this doesn't mean a robot can win a heat in a Ragnabot tournament and be added to this list. Ruf Ruf Dougal is a good example, it made it to the Quarter-Finals in the official Ragnabot 2, but I wouldn't ever consider it for this list because it was a lucky draw which propelled Ruf Ruf through the heats. As another rule of thumb, if it loses in the heats and appears in my RIP in Pieces list, there is a very high chance I consider it to be an Overall All-Star.

As such, here is my list. I will be splitting this into two parts: Preboot Ragnabot and Full Ragnabot. Because of the sheer disparity between Preboot and Reboot robots, some genuinely good pre-weight increase robots become so obsolete that any of them escaping a heat is a genuine surprise. Think of this as Preboot being Ragnabot 1 and Full being Ragnabot 3. The "Full" list is the true Overall All-Stars, while the "Preboot" list is basically a list of honourable mentions, as the addition of Reboot robots almost wipes out their true chances. The Full list includes robots from all eras of Robot Wars.
