Rating the selections by how much I’d want to see them:


 * Hammerhead 1 - 7/10 - the only real problem is the number of “Hammerhead” robots involved and maybe some people’s unfamiliarity, but this is very different to Hammerhead 2, one of the few proper bar spinners in the classic era.
 * R.O.C.S. 2 - 6/10 - This is a quietly good pick, the robot is completely different to the Series 6-7 machine and also represents the Series 2 entry. That said, it’s never had a fight across two series and will obviously perform poorly.
 * Ming - 5/10 - We already have plenty of Team Ming robots, but I suppose there’s some appeal to it, to see which Mings do the best. However this particular Ming didn’t do much and won’t win many fights.
 * Robochicken-Evo - 4/10 - A little too similar to other Robochicken machines with no unique advantages, the name difference isn’t even acknowledged by the team.
 * Wild Thing S4 - 3/10 - We already have two Wild Things and Thing II, this is just Thing II’s battle style on Wild Thing S5’s body.
 * Diotoir S3 - 2/10 - This version of the machine can’t do anything that the Series 5 version cannot, and we already have two Diotoir machines anyway, plus Nemesis. Oh heck, is the 800th robot going to be Yellow Terror Australis, why is that actually a reasonable shout...
 * Suicidal Tendencies S3 - 1/10 - Just a third version of Suicidal Tendencies, except this one doesn’t have a useful weapon, unlike the other two.
