User blog comment:Nweston8/Robot Wars Missions - Entry 1: Finding machines that are genuinely overrated/@comment-24393094-20180322212515

Now here is a controversial nomination: Firestorm 3. Yep, I am nominating a version of my favourite robot. I just feel that out of all the versions that finished third, Firestorm 3 was actually the least likely to win the title. One problem with Firestorm 3 was its ground clearance, which as showcased in several battles in Extreme 1 and 5, was actually not the greatest. But perhaps its biggest problem was its reliability. Sure, MAYBE the Hypno-Disc battle might have been a fluke. But having an unreliable transmitter is a very worrying sign that against a very impactful robot, it might actually be knocked out at one point.

On another note, try to detail Firestorm 4 and 5, because I am curious if you think most of us generally overrate the later versions.
