14. Chaos - it may be nippy and light on its feet, but Chaos' weapon will struggle to affect most opponents fullstop. Its flipper arm is long and narrow, and it only helps in tipping the machine forward because Chaos' shape is so stumpy.

13. Killerhurtz - Killerhurtz is speedy and aggressive, but that breakdown against Roadblock was very limp.

12. Razer - potency, and already a logical design as a wedge. Holding Razer back is its reliability and lack of srimech.

11. GBH - would struggle against some of the more aggressive robots, but GBH's lifter is very good.

10. Behemoth - The lifter isn't quite as good, but it's a slightly more balanced version of GBH.

9. Robodoc - not the most potent of machines, but invertibility, reliability, and general competency sees it do well.

8. Mortis - still a good weapon, and scores well, but the wedge design is worse than Series 1 which feels weird.

7. Killertron - really fine weapon pulls Killertron up in this list. Unfortunately, its clunky design makes it drop further down than in real life.

6. All Torque - a real good rammer. Not quite refined enough a design at this stage to push any higher, but losing to King Buxton is hardly a blotch on All Torque's name.

5. King Buxton - a very good machine. Solid weapon, invertibility, aggression, and speed makes it a very good machine, but it's not quite reliable enough to make that full push.

4. Roadblock - Roadblock is very well driven, and its chunky, logical design helps it control fights. I don't think I can put it any higher though. Its long sides and true lack of potency hinder it at this stage.

3. Panic Attack - nippy, reliable, and well driven. On another day, Panic Attack wouldn't have won the title though. Very bad armour a factor, as well as a flat top and a lack of srimech.

2. Cassius - Cassius is fast, aggressive, and is up there with Razer for the best weapon. Still, it's not enough for me to give it the number 1 spot.

1. Mace - hurt me if you want, but I'm going to say that Mace is the best robot in Series 2. It has a good lifter, and its rear weapon not only adds attacking versatility but also makes it harder to turn over. It then beats out Cassius for sheer reliability and consistency. While Cassius is shearing its drive belts and having bad periods in fights, Mace is chugging along at a good, consistent pace all the time. Only a stupid Race Off decision truly stopped Mace making a real go for the title.
