Forum:Audited Series 6 Awards Discussion

As the main competition of Audited Series 6 draws to a close, the annual Awards ceremony is about to begin. Please nominate some candidates for the categories below, in bold and at the start of your nomination. Voting will begin in a few days time.

Best Design

 * Anarchy: Usually, I would not vote a robot that crashed out convincingly in only the second round. However, Anarchy is an exception, deserving a nomination for actually being a competitive true walker. SpaceManiac888   (Talk)  09:59, January 30, 2018 (UTC)

Most Original Entry

 * Revolution 2: Come on. Just look at it! Pretty its a mad spinner with barely a body restricting it. SpaceManiac888   (Talk)  09:59, January 30, 2018 (UTC)

Best Engineered

 * Behemoth: The upgrades made to Behemoth no doubt assisted it in winning battles that it otherwise would have struggled in. Indeed, what was especially impressive was its reliability, being able to defeat Hypno-Disc for the second time, without taking too much damage in the process.

Most Promising Newcomer
Note: Dantomkia cannot be nominated for this award, on the basis that it has already confirmed its promise!
 * Vader: Yeah, I know. There is a REALLY obvious candidate for this award, and it is not Vader. However, I am going to nominate Vader anyway, simply because I felt it did very well in its heat with the former champion, taking out A-Kill, Ruf Ruf Dougal and Cyrax, before doing decently in absorbing some punishment from the first seed.

Most Improved

 * Corkscrew: Hear me out on this one. Whereas statistically Behemoth, Supernova and Terrorhurtz did much better than before, I think in terms of design, Corkscrew deserves this award. Think about it; although it reached the heat final in Series 5, it limped there, not being able to use its full-body spinner to its full potential. This clearly changed in Series 6, taking out Ansgar's Revenge, The Hassocks Hog, Ming 3 and Thermidor 2 during its campaign. And besides, it did give Hypno-Disc some grief in their two encounters against each other. SpaceManiac888   (Talk)  09:59, January 30, 2018 (UTC)

Biggest Loss

 * Wild Thing: Wow, this is probably going to be a difficult choice. I mean sure, there is only so many to choose from. After all, we only have 13 Black, 259, Anarchy, Atomic, Barber-Ous 2, Bigger Brother, Chaos 2, Fluffy, Panic Attack, Raging Reality, Sir Chromalot, S.M.I.D.S.Y., Spawn Again, Tornado, Wild Thing and X-Terminator, to choose from. Jokes aside, I think Wild Thing was the biggest loss in terms of its history beforehand, and its only battle. Some I have mentioned (13 Black, 259 and Barber-Ous 2), had no prior success. Others, like Panic Attack and Spawn Again, lost early due to their poor design and reliability. Therefore, seeing how decent Wild Thing was, not to mention that it failed to reach round 2 unlike Bigger Brother, Chaos 2 and others, it gets my vote. Especially considering that it came within one vote of qualifying from that tough melee anyway. SpaceManiac888   (Talk)  09:59, January 30, 2018 (UTC)

Best Battle

 * Iron-Awe 2 vs 259 vs Thor vs Barber-Ous 2: We had some cracking battles throughout the series, but this matchup helped to prove why in my opinion four-way melees are exceptionally fun. Indeed, the four robots in this melee may not have been the greatest in Series 6, but they all were very good machines placed up against each other, in a melee that could have gone in any direction. Sure, whilst I was disappointed that Barber-Ous 2 had to leave early, at least it lost in what was the "melee of death" in my opinion. Henceforth, my vote goes towards this melee simply due to the quality of robots it had, as well as the unpredictability of who was going to qualify from it.

Most Controversial Battle

 * S3 vs Tiberius 3: Again, there were several candidates for this award. In my opinion, it has to go to the heat final of Heat D, whereby the final score was at 8-8! Thus, it was only settled by the Judges, enabling the seed to progress and not suffer a shock defeat. Because of how close this battle really was, for the fact that a seed was dangerously close to being beaten in the heats, not to mention that it is very possible that many fans watching the battle may have disagreed with the result, it gains my nomination for this award.
