The Tsunami curse.

But you're right, it's why I don't rate the OotAs with robots propped on the side as high as other ones. Firstly, if the robot is propped up, it's already in an immobilised state, so even if the robot was perfectly functional, the Killshot stat scores 8 instead of 10. Then of course, the distance is pretty minimal, and only a large flight away from the wall on the other side increases that. Then finally, it hits the control score as it's a case of "why didn't you just get them out in the first place". So far, I think Chaos 2 vs Tornado and Bigger Brother vs Splinter are the only two pack'em and stack'em OotAs where the wall propping doesn't give a massive hit to the control score because it works in the flow of the attacks.
