User blog:SpaceManiac888/Listing robots based on Wiki tournament performance

This blog lists all the robots who managed to reach the last 16 of a major Wiki tournament on merit.

Rules

 * What counts as a "major" Wiki tournament is one that involves one-on-one competition (particularly in the Grand Final), and is the main competition of the tournament. For Tag Team and special event success, I plan to create another blog in the future.
 * A robot must get to a stage on merit, meaning they must win at least one battle to be listed. Henceforth, robots like Terror Turtle are not classified, in spite of being "in" the Last 16 (in this case, the Extreme Series 3 World Championship), but failed to win a battle.
 * For tournaments where the main competition is unclear, I generally use the tournament which is generally considered the most prestigious. Henceforth, for Extreme Series 3 for example, its World Championship results have been used.
 * All Alternative Heat Winners tournaments (2012 versions, that is), have been used, because there is no means of deciding which one is the most prestigious.
 * Not all tournaments have a semi-finals as such, so robots whose best result was "Semi-Final Round 1" or "Round 2" are classified as reaching the "Last 16" or "Last 8".
 * For tournaments where there is no third place playoff, both machines are classified as coming in third place (similar to how Fire Storm and Steg-O-Saw-Us were in Series 3).

Analysis of results
There are some quite interesting findings when looking at the results of each robot that is (and is not) listed above:
 * Storm 2 won the first ever Wiki tournament (Wikia Series 8), but has never come close again. Usually, it goes out to a powerful flipper (Spawn Again in Ragnabot 1, Atomic in Series 7 Audited), meaning it has suffered nine years of pain on the forums (which will occur on September 29th). With the presence of Reboot robots, this period of waiting for a second title is surely going to increase.
 * Tornado, one of the most successful and arguably one of the best robots of all-time, has never actually won a major tournament on the Wiki. Similar to Storm 2, Tornado is often beaten by flippers and lifters (Dantomkia in Wikia Series 8, Bulldog Breed in Series 7 Audited, Behemoth in Audited Series 6), or Razer (Series 5 Audited, Ragnabot 1, to name a few).
 * Supernova is the only robot to win multiple championships, yet has never actually won a heat in Robot Wars in real-life.
 * Most variants of X-Terminator have consistent track records, continually falling at the final hurdle before the Grand Final of a tournament.
 * Spawn Again is the earliest robot to become runners-up (since Wikia All Stars) and never win a major tournament.
 * Torque of the Devil may be the most unlikely Grand Finalist of all-time (excluding The Ultimate Free Pass machines).
 * S3, just as in real-life, has reached the last 8 multiple times yet cannot achieve a spot in a major tournament's Grand Final.
 * Corkscrew and Mute only barely managed to scrape onto this list, as they had not reached the last 16 prior to A Fantasy Audited War 3, despite both debuting in Wikia Series 8.
 * In spite of being a machine that in real-life always won its heats and thus always ranked in the last 16 or higher, all versions of Wild Thing and Thing 2 have never reached the last 16 and beyond in Wiki tournaments.
