I might just weigh in on your seeds. You seem to have done a very mathematical approach but I still feel that some are in the wrong place.

After seeing the Wikia Series 8 done in the forums. I wanted do my own Series 8, giving my thoughts on what would've happened if Robot Wars continued and there was a Series 8.

A bit of my logic to the Heats setup down below. Since it's the year after Series 7, so 2004. I believe certain Robots that ended up being with Roaming Robots, would've entered Series 8. If Robot Wars Continued, so Robots like Turbulence, Hades, Weird Alice etc. Would've been in.

Newer verisons of certain Robots would've appeared like Iron Awe 3, Tiberius 4, Judge Shred 4. And Veterans like Hypno-Disc, Stinger, Dominator 2 (as Dominator 3), Diotoir and Splinter would return Contents[hide]

FormatEdit

The Format would be the same as Series 7. Heats will have Two, four way melees with two robots qualifying for the Semi Finals and to the Heat Finals, then to the regular Semi Finals and Grand Finals.

I think Firestorm 5 would be above X-Terminator. Firestorm 5 only did one stage lower than X-Terminator, had been the 2nd seed in Series 7, and had been a way more successful robot overall. The show has almost never given the 1-4 seeds to the 1-4 placers (it only happened in Series 6). Dropping from 2nd seed to 5th seed is not fitting with the show's history. Look at Firestorm in Series 5, still seeded higher than robots who beat it in Series 4.

Dantomkia should be above Mute. A series 6 semi-final round 2 and All-Star runner up is more impressive than New Blood runner-up.

The Grim Reaper should be the lowest seed of the semi-finalists, because it didn't have to fight a seed in its heat and didn't KO any robots.

Thermidor 2 should be higher than M2, Tough As Nails, The Grim Reaper and Raging Knightmare, because it had two semi-finals and is a returning seed. Raging Knightmare should also probably go above M2 and Tough As Nails since it had two heat finals under its belt on top of reaching the same stage.

Spawn Again should be the highest non semi-finalist seed, with the possible exception of Pussycat (depending on whether you think an All-Stars win is enough to boost it, up to you). To put things into perspective, excluding Series 7, Spawn Again has more semi-finals appearances than Big Nipper and Tiberius have battles won (put together). I'd also think that Kat 3, The Steel Avenger and certainly SMIDSY should be higher than robots whose heat finals appearances in Series 7 was their first.

I'm interested in your thoughts and the process you used to get your seeds.
