This has been an interesting debate thus far, I am enjoying this. Jimlaad, I hope you do not mind this discussion on Iron-Awe 2's axe!

"You keep saying "Iron Awe couldn't use its flipper to self-right"". I do not read myself as mentioning that statement, but thanks for doing so. This may reinforce my idea of not trying not to quote any sociologists' statements when writing an essay in AS-Level Sociology, because I will lose marks as a result of making a mis-statement. So, in seriousness, thank you.

Anyhow, back on topic. When I noted Iron-Awe 2's flipper in terms of self-righting, I was pointing to evidence of its Bigger Brother battle. When Bigger Brother flipped its opponent, Iron-Awe's controller responded by using the flipper in an attempt to self-right, in my opinion at least. Considering that the controller is much better and experienced than someone like myself, I argue he would never use it for any other purpose in this situation. I would also argue that when Iron-Awe 2's axe is in the "fired" position, the machine is at its most vulnerable in terms of facing flippers too.

And I have just realised that there is one final piece of evidence that makes me stand by my opinion of Kronic 2 beating Iron-Awe 2. When the Iron-Awe article on this wiki discussed 2.1's design, it stated that it "featured rear spikes to prevent Iron-Awe from getting stranded on its flat rear panel, as it had been in the Series 6 qualifiers." This again shows that Iron-Awe 2's srimech was not the most effective.
