This is the first time in Series 10 we can really go all-in, tbh

Dishonourable mention: Including Thor. Thor is the kind of robot that bodies lower-tier robots, and gets bodied by higher tier robots, so including it in a competition against a bunch of free wins missed the point and made the draw unbalanced, even if it did end up fighting TAN through pure circumstance. Jason Marston competed in seven of the 22 reboot episodes - that's enough.

3. Dodgy Draws. To expand on that, woohoo, TAN is back! What a wonderful surprise. And it's fighting... Thor, a robot that beat it in Series 8. Not only that, but now Thor has a new body shape to make it even more slippery, TAN doesn't have a hope. That's particularly disappointing when I am adamant that Tough as Nails was, dare I say, LIKELY to defeat Concussion, and even had a shot against Big Nipper. Instead Concussion, a previous Grand Finalist, gets an easy win over Weber (with assistance from the House Robots, no less). Weber could've given Thor a good fight, and Tough as Nails could've given Concussion a great fight, so this should've been the draw.

2. Terror Turtle: The Worst Timeline. I hoped for one of two things for Terror Turtle. Either a decent performance for once using its new bar spinner, or Terror Turtle can finally overtake Velocirippa and become the robot with the most losses in Robot Wars. INSTEAD, Terror Turtle completely bombs, dying in three seconds in the first fight, before failing to beat a robot which was literally on fire, by taking considerably less damage from the same blow. And the worst part? Terror Turtle somehow scraped a combat win out of this, via forfeit!! I don't disagree with the decision to award Team ROW three points there, but it sucks that Terror Turtle "won" a battle as a result.

1. Concussion was not Concussfun. I didn't want Concussion here in the first place. It's a former Grand Finalist with a drum spinner far ahead of the international competition, and although Tim Rackley is a funny guy, his humour isn't exactly family friendly, so Concussion has always fell flat on TV for me. But they're here, seemingly set up for two easy wins, they have to be bad sports about it and smack Cathadh from behind after the tag team battles generally followed the rules up to this point. They then have to put down the promising Weber in the aforementioned bad draw, and it was through Weber's own press of Rogue House Robot, no less. I really didn't want to be proven right about this one, but I wish Concussion was replaced with something else.
