10. Razer. Performance and experience overall at the time: 10/10. Performance at Extreme Warriors: 6/10.

9. Conquering Clown 2. The big top on stilts falls up here thanks to its difficult road to the Grand Final, and the fact it had no extra side events to show more prowess, if it had any left.

8. Cyclone 2. Won the Annihilator, but except for Brute, most of the bots were bottom of the barrel, and lost the use of its weapon twice, once thanks to bad driving over a flame jet, and the other against Proophobia, forcing Cyclone to exit during the first round, which is the other reason its this high.

7. Tornado. It has the win over a top ten bot to flaunt. That's it.

6. Rosie the Riveter 2. Had an easier time getting to the Grand Final, but because most of its opponents were not up to scratch. Even in side events it got Night Crawler for the second time, and lost to Snake Bite for some odd reason. Also got beaten by Tut-Tut and Propeller-Head, showing that while it was good, not good enough to be truly top tier.

5. Destructive Criticism . Like Rosie, had a very easy time getting to the finals, the only decent bot it fought breaking down in one hit along with it, showing at times a lack of reliability. It's fight against Ninjitsu struck home this problem too.

4. Rocky-Bot-Boa. Would I be so wrong in saying that this bot was Season 2's Drillzilla, considering its low, boxy shape, durability, lack of any weaponary except it’s ramming speed, and success in the tournaments it featured in. It did lack a good turn of speed though, but winning its heat in impressive style, and with Black Widow, taking the Tag Team trophy. It’s lack of wedge put it at a disadvantage against Tricerabot, so Panzer would be even quicker to make that weakness a problem for this bot.

3. Propeller-Head. One driving mistake cost them the semis, and maybe even the title. Would it have gotten it, in all probability? Nope. But it either dominated or damaged just enough to win every other match it had. A very good spinner for Robot Wars at the time. Even when the weapon was cut off by The Revolutionist, better driving allowed it to pit its spinning rival, showing that it wasn’t just the weapon that was making this robot good.

2. Tricerabot 3.0. A grand finalist, and rightly so. Improved upon from last season, Tricerabot had a lot of help with the existence of the pit, ending two matches with it (Diskotek ended itself, by spinning to lose during the first round melee). Had a lot of close matches, but pulled through each time save for the last.

1. Panzer Mk 4. No debate needed here. Beat Tricerabot not just in EW2 but also in Robotica, ending its run in Extreme Warriors with no losses to speak of, and with a host of dominating wins. It was not perfect, seeing as it ended just as many of its fights on JDs, but always did enough to win them without any doubt. The pessimist in me thinks it was very close to losing the Grand Final, since it had no scrimech, or one that we saw in action, seeing as the weapon had already broken down when it was turned turtle during the Second World Championships, but we’re not talking about that one blemish. But then I look and see how powerful the weapon really was and there's no doubt that it would've been able to lift and turn over the bot comfortably. Huh, wasn’t it Tornado who did the damage in that one fight? Still, if it was up to just Panzer and Tornado, the American bot might well have won that tussle...
