User blog:Jimlaad43/My Series 9 Top 4 Predictions!

As the announcement of a date for Series 9 has been confirmed, it's time to roll out my Predictions.

DISCLAIMER: This is a list of my top 4 prediction for Robot Wars Series 9. I made this prediction before I headed in to Glasgow to see the Grand Final being filmed. This prediction was made with zero knowledge of which robots had been selected to appear in the show, and certainly no spoilers from online sources. This was pretty much made entirely from watching the 2016 Series, and a bit of personal bias and wanting.

I cannot, and will not, confirm nor deny whether any of these robots are in the top 4. I cannot and will not confirm nor deny if they are even competing in the Series in either this configuration or anything else. They might all be drawn in the same heat, I don't know and if I do, will not say.

This is in no way a spoiler to the series either, as it was made before I went in, and I have sources that can confirm this. I want to show my predictions as I thought of them before going in, so they use my logic from before, and all assume they have qualified for the show (again, I cannot and/or will not confirm nor deny the appearance of any of these robots.)

Anyway, after all those disclaimers, here is my Top 4 prediction.

Ironside3
I thought Ironside3 was one of the main under achievers in 2016, the weapon was devastating, and it was let down by an untested srimech. I want to see Ironside3 return and do better, and hopefully cause more carnage.

Eruption
Eruption was another of those robots I thought underachieved in Series 8. It flipped Terror Turtle out of the arena, and even beat the eventual champions in their heat. I would love to see it perform better, as it deserved so much more than just 3 points.

Terrorhurtz
And we actually have the third robot I thought deserved to at least reach the Heat Final. Terrorhurtz is a legend, and I even saw it battle Nuts, so I was actually quite disappointed that it had been beaten by Behemoth earlier (as much as I was happy to see Behemoth in a heat final too) because of an axe malfunction. Anyway, I hope the crazy axe is back and even better than last Series.

Carbide
Apart from Dantomkia, Carbide was my favourite robot in Series 9, and out of the finalists from last series, is really the only one I want to see more from. It's a shame that the Carbide battle I saw with Behemoth didn't get as much screen time, as it deserved more.

So there we go, 1 returning finalist and 3 robots that went out in the head-to-heads. Tune in to Robot Wars in the next month to find out if I'm 100%, 75%, 50%, 25% or 0% right!
