welcome to my lists, where I'll update on a weekly basis showing, in my opinion, the good, the bad, and the downright daft.

All lists will be numbered from bottom to top, save the best til last, eh?

10 Rubbish Names
Over the years, we've seen all sorts of wonderfully creative names enter the show, such as Pussycat and Roadblock. However... you know what I'm going to say, aren't you?


 * 10: Killerkat
 * This one is rock bottom for a reason - its spinning weapon that could have done Killerkat's name proud. Similar to Pussycat, in that it was invertable, shaped like Pussycat and had the aforementioned spinner. Slight problem: did Pussycat ever coat itself in fur? No. Killerkat did, and this put spinners at a potential risk of the fur getting caught. The main one, though, was what happened to it. Hypno-Disc could have knocked Pussycat on its side (Chaos 2 did) and the position of wheels and blade helped it to re-right. Both of these were in the wrong position on Killerkat, and thus it got toppled over by a spinning weapon that didn't even rotate at 1000rpm. I shudder to think how it would cope with Terrorhurtz...


 * 9: Flipper
 * First things first, and I must give props to CrashBash for thinking it up, why was Flipper so called? Simple - it had a dorsal-like fin on its back. More stuff, since I'm on a roll, was its so-called "weapon". It was pretty shabby, even by Series 3 standards, and it wasn't a flipper, or a flipping arm. What we get is the tiniest axe this side of a cocktail stick, and even my flimsy Beast of Bodmin model would escape in one piece, it was that bad. The srimech is equally bizarre, for there's a tall spike that extends when Flipper is on its back. All well and good, except I trust it even less than I can throw Mr. Psycho. Should have taken away the axe and use it as a wedge, then use whatever weight is left on a more reliable self-righter.
