User blog comment:Nweston8/Robot Wars Missions - Entry 1: Finding machines that are genuinely overrated/@comment-24393094-20180117184707

I am going to nominate Barber-Ous, particularly Barber-Ous 2. I LOVE this machine, it is my third favourite machine and my favourite spinner of all-time. But although its terrible display in Audited Series 6 may argue otherwise, Barber-Ous 2 does get a lot of success, particularly in non-Arena tournaments. I have seen it beat Firestorm 4 in one tournament, whilst some people have claimed that it could have beaten Dominator 2, Razer and even Terrorhurtz!

The trouble I have with this rating of Barber-Ous is that we have never have actually seen it come up against and beaten great opponents. Granny's Revenge 2? Nah, but maybe it would have been nice to see it go OotA. 4x4? Nah, especially since this was a Team Monad robot. Kat 3? If it was the Series 7 version, maybe. But my second favourite robot was in a bad way throughout Series 6, so it was not exactly going to trouble the demon barber. Henceforth, I think Barber-Ous 2 may be overrated by some, since it is predicted to win battles against all-stars, when the moment Barber-Ous faced any, it lost. However...
