User blog comment:RA2/Robot Wars Rankdown: Extreme 1 & Series 5/@comment-6123787-20180720095200

I ranked winners of tournaments higher than non-winners. That's why 2 is super bizarre

1.Razer Super self explanatory, only lost 1 match and that was a vengeance battle, every tournament it entered, it won.

2. Disc-O-Inferno. Not as obvious, but here's the thing it is the only unbeaten robot left in this ranking so I have to rate it high but not as high as Razer but due to it being undefeated I decided to rank it 2nd.

3. Pussycat. I ranked it higher than most due to it winning 2 tournaments in X1 but I couldn't rank it higher than Disc-O-Inferno because truthfully

4. Tornado. Tornado's 4th only due to it holding onto it's Challenge Belt. If it hadn't have won that then it's 2nd round loss to Tag Team Champion Diotoir would've left it 10th.

5. Firestorm 3. I rated Firestorm 3 over Bigger Brother for the simple fact that Firestorm 3 had a better X1 than Bigger Brother did.

6. Bigger Brother. I could not rate Bigger Brother lower due to it's magnificent Series 5 performance. It's a shame that its X1 performance let it down.

7. S3. S3's 7th due to its S5 performance, coming from a team which was a 2 time loser and coming out with a robot which beat 3 former semifinalists (Plunderbird team, Mousetrap and Stinger.) to finish quarter finalists. A wondrous debut series for S3.

8. Wild Thing. Honestly the only reason why I rated Wild Thing over Dominator 2 is because Wild Thing beat Dominator 2 in the All Stars. But apart from that Wild Thing with the exception of Napalm had 2 great little tussles between Trouble & Strife and Prizephita Mk 2 in it's heat whereas D2 and C2 did not have any great little tussles.

9. Dominator 2. Honestly I'm only putting Dominator 2 here because it A. Reached the Semis and B. Didn't look like it would lose it's heat during any of it's fights.

10. Chaos 2. This seems super shocking but it lost to Mastiff in the First World Championships, it didn't have any stand out matches and honestly if the match lasted the full 5 minutes and if Refbot did its job and let SMIDSY off the arena wall, SMIDSY would've beat Chaos 2 in the heats. It's super antiquated and it nearly lost 2 battles in a row before finally biting the bullet.

11. Drillzilla. Drillzilla's ranked dead last here because it didn't win anything. It showed up for one (1) episode, won a couple of fights and then lost to Razer. I struggle to foresee how a one time loser made it this far but OK.
