Heat A:
 * 3: The Tartan Terror. I like the look of the robot as something that is visually entertaining. However, the fact it barely moved sours it a bit for me, especially since other visually entertaining robots, like Scorpion, were rejected.


 * 2: Unlucky Steel Avenger. I have to say, I REALLY dislike it when previous heat finalists are unseeded, because this means that some, including The Steel Avenger, may end up in terrible heats. It stood no chance against Chaos 2.


 * 1: Chaos 2's overflip of doom. Chaos 2 was very lucky to avoid being counted out there, imagine if Refbot allowed S.M.I.D.S.Y. to escape.

Heat B:
 * 3: Juggernot 2 even qualifying: Usually, I would not mind some "cannon-fodder" type robots entering, it gives the good robots the chance to showcase their abilities. However, with Tony Somerfield mentioning that Juggernot 2 had to be destroyed quite a bit to make the weight limit, I am surprised that it qualified at all. Did they destroy the robot before or after the Qualifiers? Curious, especially since we know that F-One was over the weight limit in the Series 4 Qualifiers.


 * 2: Unlucky Bulldog Breed 3: Similar to The Steel Avenger's predicament. But hey, it could be worse, at least it was not a seeded robot that had to face Hypno-Disc in the second round-


 * 1: Atomic vs Hypno-Disc: -oh dear. Yeah, the battle was great, the fact that the seeds had to face each other in the second round was not. It was not only unfair for Atomic, but also for Hypno-Disc in a way, since for all we know, Atomic could have beaten it a round earlier than it should have. Even the fact that it enabled Bulldog Breed 3 to achieve a second heat final does not detract from the issue that this is one of the biggest Rusty Spanner moments in Robot Wars history. Henceforth, it is in bold.
