User blog:Diotoir the son of nemesis/Top ten Overrated Robots

A while back I made a "Top ten Underrated Robots" list, so it made sense to make an Overrated list too, with some inspiration from Anderson9132. I have chosen these robots based on fan reaction, wiki reaction and producer reactions of these robots.

Honourable mentions

 * Razer - I love Razer but I admit it is overrated, but not because it's boring (worst excuse ever), unreliable or "repetitive". I find it overrated simply because people do say it can beat "everything" and the team I found were quite unsporting at time, but this isn't enough to be on this list. Also it's too predictable.
 * Warhog - The wiki seems to think that Warhog is an unstoppable force of destruction! It never won a fight and that's really the reason why I won't list it.
 * Spawn Again - The robot I hate the most! Would be on the list but people have started to realise it sucks, end story.
 * Firestorm - Robots like Firestorm are hard to criticize other than people like it way too much.

10.M2
I'm not the biggest M2 fan. It did well in the live event, by well I mean it flipped its way to a Judges Decision. In the show it dominated two battles respectively then got dominated the other two. M2 just seemed like a "one battle wonder" in a Heat of fairly easy winnings it flipped both Terror Turtle and Vader out in the opening battle then struggled against Pussycat, even suffered damage. Then came the Heat Final where Tiberius pretty much won the fight had it not been flipped in the pit, then there's the Atomic fight where it was finally killed. I don't see why M2 is seen as this unstoppable force because, as the team even admitted, it struggled to get to the semis, I bet it there was a Loser's melee it would probably have lost.

9.Mute
I will admit I'm not a fan of Mute, it's not because it's bad but, funnily enough, it's too powerful. Team Mute is a team I don't really like but I won't hold that judgement against the Mute, as I think it is the best of their machines. I do think Anderson9132 put it best about Mute, stating pretty much what I think about Mute. It has those stupid spikes that makes it difficult to flip, a flipper that does more harm than right, oh and it got a lucky run in its Heat, beating behemoth due to a fluke and Judge Shred through a Judges Decision that I for one didn't agree with.

8. Zorro
A robot that performed poorly and lost in round one, yet everyone thinks it's great. I've listed in the past that Team Ming are among my Worst robots (in this case the entire bunch). Zorro, unlike Ming Dynasty, Ming 3 and Ming, looks good, but like the other Ming machines it's there to disappoint and die. Yet, unlike other one time losers, Zorro is given praise for being "destructive", "decorative" and "innovative" yeah an RC car with a weaker Son of Whyachi blade who was as destructive as a thin sheet of ice, touch it once and it dies!

7. Eruption
Before the 2016 Series I firmly believed that the majority of Live Event robots would end up being destroyed as I saw the Live Events as the "safe Robot Wars" When the series came I ate those words and had bigger respect for the likes of TR2, Shockwave, Gabriel and to some extent Thor. Eruption on the other hand the robot that people believe could have won the series all because it won against Apollo. From the start I did have hopes for Eruption as it did well in the first fight and I thought it could go to the Heat Final (though the BBC ruined the fact Apollo was going to win the Heat with their House Robots POV trailer) However as soon as it fought Storm 2 and, in my opinion, rightfully lost, I knew that my naive prediction about Live Event robots was some what true, it was made even clearer in the battle against PP3D where it was torn apart. Remember people thought Eruption could have won the series, if it couldn't stand PP3D's flywheel, imagine what it would be like against Carbide?! In reality it won two FRA championships, simply because the events are dominated by flipperbots, if Spinners and heavy blades or drums were allowed I bet it wouldn't have won ether of those.

Note: I do like Eruption, but it seriously isn't the "God among robots" everyone says it is, it's sort of like the new Razer.

6.Fluffy
Fluffy is one of those robots that has so many problems, that you'd think that the team would improve them. But no, they never did. The fact people see it as the "most destructive robot in the old showing" makes me laugh! Sure it can destroy, but it can't kill most of the time look at the Stinger fight or the Series 7 melee. Fluffy looks amazing but it was simply shocking in reliability and could die after one hit. I often see arguments that fluffy could have beaten Pussycat, but honestly with or without a blade I'm sure Pussycat would have still won because it could just whack Fluffy by the side or on top and it would have died, because it's what Fluffy is a glass cannon that people make out as the "greatest thing ever".
