As Toast said, we knew that Iron-Awe had won the fight because we saw Tauron's redemption round, so when I saw the episode, I was expecting Iron-Awe to be flipping everything around madly. So yeah, the battle was a disappointment because Tauron had proven itself and Iron-Awe never did.

However, that doesn't mean it winning was a bad thing. You had Tauron stopping despite dominating before Iron-Awe. The judges had an impossible task. Go with the "last robot alive" rule that has always rung true, or throw that out the window and go with "which robot won until they broke down" rule. Basically, they had two viable rules to apply, and it was a lose-lose situation where people would flame them for not going for the robot that was more dominant, or flame them for the one that didn't die first. Anyway, who cares? We got the incredible Androne 4000 vs Tauron battle and you got to see Iron-Awe get torn apart by Concussion in the next round.
