I can't help but feel that Panic Attack Gold gets very underrated in general. Everything that could've been said negatively about it was said, but to be honest, I don't think the Series 5/Extreme 2 version of Panic Attack would've done any better in place of it. Corkscrew could still rip off the skirt easily enough, Kronic could still flip it over - and Kim probably wouldn't be able to control it because of its awkward shape - and if the normal Panic Attack beat A-Kill like 24k did, Craig would call it great driving for managing to grapple with A-Kill like that, but for some reason, because it was Panic Attack Gold in the battle, Craig called it boring. I think a lot of the under-the-surface disappointment is that a new version of Panic Attack ended up not being an upgrade in any way - it was a machine built for the same purposes but was worse, so people gave it stick for virtually anything just because the older version could've done everything that 24k did. That's not to say that I dispute it being in this list because it still obviously fits in with the title, but it still makes me a little bit frustrated that Kim's other versions of the robot are seen as flawless in comparison.
