Forum:Series 7 Audited Bin Candidates

After all of that to organise the series, we come to probably the best bit for a lot of users, the bin candidates. For those of you unfamiliar with the drill, just select a load of robots that you found boring, dull, etc. and create a list of those you would like to replace them with. The robots with the most votes for each will be switched. Let's be honest, if Stinger doesn't make it, I'm staggered. Datovidny (talk) 15:04, October 19, 2013 (UTC)

Remember

 * Any robot can be binned, but robots to come in will need to have entered a side competition in Series 7, be listed in the Forum:Qualifiers or Forum:Robots that Failed to Qualify page, or otherwise have reasons for not originally entering Series 7.
 * At the moment, the robots in are that of the line-up on the show, so Dominator 2 isn't in yet, as well as other robots that were withdrawn and replaced. Since Thunderpants and Terrorhurtz weren't replaced, they are currently still in.
 * I won't limit how many you bin, but I'd appreciate it if you have the same "Ins" and "Bins", and if there aren't several dozen to go through.
 * Provide a short explanation for each choice.

Bin

 * 1) Araknia - Riptilion still has a chance to get in, but Araknia just didn't seem up to scratch, and would be a definite Round 1 drop-out anyway.
 * 2) Cobra - Similarly, I don't think any user will let its 4-5 strikes off lightly.
 * 3) Brutus Maximus - It may have slightly more to offer, but while we can't see it catch fire or fall to pieces again, the drama and excitement has gone from it.
 * 4) Terrorhurtz - There will be a huge amount of debates over how powerful Terrorhurtz will be, as it was so impressive the year after, winning the 2004 RR. This will also provide the opportunity have more of a mix-up with the seeds, the same reason I don't want Dominator 2 in.
 * 5) Thunderpants - It'll be difficult as we have only its breakdowns to go on.
 * 6) Tartarus - I imagine a lot of foreign bots are going to get in here, this is one I'm not fussed about.
 * 7) B.O.D. - Well.....

In

 * 1) Stinger - I don't think I need an explanation.
 * 2) PulverizeR - My only foreign choice, I was originally going to choose Reaper NP2, but I think this has the chance to cause more upsets.
 * 3) Splinter - An old Semi-Finalist, it should've been there first time around.
 * 4) Merlin - Not as strong as it has been in RR, but it was good.
 * 5) Mortis - Another Semi-Finalist that I imagine will be popular among other users to include. It'll be running on tracks if there's any doubt.
 * 6) Direct Action - A competent spinner, even the Storm 2 team were impressed.
 * 7) Sir Chromalot - A crowd favourite, even if it does prove cannon fodder.
