 * WHO AM I CUTTING?: SAT'arn


 * WHY AM I CUTTING IT?: You want to know the reason why I voted to save SAT'arn in the first round? I know it was optional, but basically, because it had appeal. It looked cool. It was basically an animated bull's head. That's what made it stand out amongst the others. But here that won't save it. Skarab was slow, ponderous and had a useless weapon, but it had good pushing power, the team took Jeremy's jokes in good spirit and it did the best. Vector of Armageddon was completely bland from top to bottom and did the worst, but it still looked like it could have been competent...if anything, it was a series too early. SAT'arn, once you get past the novelty, was just too ineffective and too unreliable as a combat robot. Shown when it broke down under minimal pressure at all.


 * WHO AM I SAVING?: The only robot I don't have an issue with, Full Metal Anorak.
