User blog:Anderson9132/The Series 3 seeds: How it should have been.

I love Series 3. Heat I of this series was my first episode, meaning this series broke my Robot Wars virginity (odd way to look at it I know). A lot of important things happened in this series, some great robots and battles came of it and a lot of classic moments happened too. However, no Series is perfect and Series 3 is no exception. The biggest problem of the lot in my personal opinion was the distinct lack of seeds. CrashBash said it perfectly when he stated that without seeds, the Series 3 layout was rather questionable, with two great robots from the previous series appearing in the same heat, and even in the same battles, whilst on the contrary several heats lacked pedigree. I'm almost certain most people reading this have wondered how the Series 3 seedings would have worked out and have probably thought of their own seedings for the series as well. With that being said, let's get down to it with the Series 3 seeds: How it should have happened.

Series 3 seeds
1. Panic Attack

2. Cassius 2

3. Beast of Bodmin

4. Mortis

-This honestly goes without saying. The top three finished in their respective places in Series 2 and because Killertron, the robot that came third...I mean fourth, did not return for this series, I gave the fourth seeding to Mortis, a former heat finalist and heavily favoured robot in the pits.

5. King Buxton

6. Behemoth

7. Haardvark

8. Facet

- King Buxton, Behemoth and Haardvark I gave their respective seeding due to the fact that they were the remaining three semi finalists from Series 2 that made it to the arena stages. When deciding their placings, i based it on their progress throughout the series. I gave Facet the 8th seed because I felt G.B.H was one of the stronger semi finalists and I believe that Facet was a strong successor to G.B.H and had strong potential.

9. Mace 2

10. Plunderstorm

11. Napalm

12. Chaos 2

- I know that Napalm performed better than both Mace and Plunderbird 2, but I think due to a lack of updates, changed or even repairs, Napalm would not be considered as as higher contender for the title than Mace 2 and Plunderstorm, so I seeded it lower then both of them. Chaos 2 gets the 12th seed because of its status as a former grand finalist (Well George Francis anyway)

13. The Big Cheese

14. All Torque

15. Dundee

16. Excalibur

-So the final four seeds of the series, and you may be scratching your head slightly. Well I gave the Big Cheese its place because not only was its predecessor The Mule a heat finalist but it also won the best engineering award of Series 2. Plus the Big Cheese was a major improvement and had a lot of potential. All Torque was a very strong competitor in Series 2, even defeating Matilda in the Joust trial. Dundee and Excalibur are a bit odd I know, but hear me out. I always found that the bottom few seedings were always "it looks good in the pits" seedings, and considering both robots looked good, with great weapons and were from the same teams as Loco and Disruptor respectively, who both made the heat finals in Series 2, i feel that they would have been worthy seeds.

And there you have it, my Series 3 seeds. Tell me down below how you would have done it!
