Do those really count though? I mean, yes, Hypno-Disc's win was legit for the time, but that was against a weaker armoured Atomic - if the more up-to-date versions of both machines fought, would the outcome be the same or different? Consider that the S7 version of Atomic managed to take several blows from Typhoon 2, a robot much more powerful than Hypno-Disc, without anywhere near as much damage.

As for Typhoon 2, well, lets be honest, that was a complete and utter fluke. Thus, there's really no reliable way of saying how S7 Atomic would cope against a spinner.
