User blog:Adster1005/Robot Wars Moment I Dislike

Despite Robot Wars being one of my favourite TV shows, there are just some moments I dislike intensely. These can range from unnecessary house robot attacks or certain outcomes of fights. Some are major, but some are ever so minor.

The Series 7 Featherweights
We all know the events here - the producers weren't sure if the featherweights would put on an interesting fight, so they put the most damaging house robots in. The first two heats I think aren't so bad. But the third heat, I really can't watch without cringing slightly inside.

Most of it isn't too bad. It's the destruction of Micro Mute. I can't stand watching it.

Partly because they are from my local area, but also because I like the Micro Mute and I really like the machine. Even Jonathan Pearce, who normally makes the fight a bit better, just makes it worse saying "just because the robot is dead, means we can reduce to absolute dust". I can understand that was fair, but honestly, I cannot stand it,

Firestorm 4 & 5's pittings
This is really minor. But I still hate watching the Firestorm machines get scooped up by Tornado and Storm II and then pushed into the pit, it just really annoys me. I don't know why. Probably because it could have beat both of the machines and gone through.

Also, I think Firestorm could have beat Tornado in S7, meaning the final would have been Firestorm vs Typhoon 2.

The S7 Draw
If in the Second Semi-Final, the draw had been just slightly different, Firestorm, arguably could have won the entire series.

This annoys me because if Firestorm had drawn Typhoon and Atomic had drawn Storm, then I think Firestorm and Atomic could have gone through. Firestorm would have met X-Terminator and Atomic would have met Tornado, which I think Firestorm and Atomic could have met in the final, and then Firestorm could have won. It just annoys me that Firestorm never got to the top 2.
