Barry has weight and pushing power, but that's about it. Consider the other robots just in its heat: Roadblock is far lower than it and would win a pushing match; Killertron has one of the most dangerous axes of the time and you really don't want massively exposed wheels/inner working when you're facing it; even Nemesis, if it got side on, could do severe damage to the wheels.

Bodyhammer... Eh, it's decent defensively, but one does not win a fight by defence alone, and it's only got a pokey spike and a tiny saw blade, and a round robot with a steep wedge isn't the best for pushing. The axes of Killertron and Mortis might struggle to cause much damage, but there'd be more than Bodyhammer could cause; Razer might struggle to get a grip but I still believe it could eventually; and even ignoring Cassius and Panic Attack there's still Roadblock which easily got underneath in Series 1. Bodyhammer's not bad, but compared to the best robots of the time, it's not up there.
