 * Best Design

 * Most Promising Newcomer


 * I really really think that Dominator 2 was more worthy of a nomination for Best Newcomer than someone like Robochicken.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  08:35, 8 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Technically, it wasn't a newcomer, as it had still appeared the previous year, just not in the main competition. Why they therefore nominated Mousetrap (Triterabot), and S3 (Sting) the following year, I have no idea. CBFan 18:17, 8 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, it really was. As you've said many, many time in the past, its the robot, not the team. If its a completely new robot, not just an old robot that has been altered, then it was eligible. Also, how about robots like Atomic, or Kronic the Wedgehog. Both performed far better than some of the other nominees.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  21:30, 14 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Toon Ganondorf, this is actually very different. If you're talking about the fights, or the significance of the robots, then obviously it is about the robots....obviously the teams don't do the fighting. But when you're talking about the robots history, then you're talking about the teams. That's always been the way it has been on Robot Wars. Cassius was never described as a "newcomer" in Series 2, even though it was its first appearance under that name or design. Thereby Mousetrap, S3 and, in your example, Dominator 2 should never have been considered.
 * Granted, Atomic and Kronic did do better...but aren't you contradicting that statement somewhat? I recall you previously trying to insist that Spikasaurus should have been nominated, even though it did no better than Attila The Drum, and worse than Robochicken. CBFan 11:43, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Previously, yes, but as it is not part of my discussion now, I have clearly changed my mind and it has no bearing on the conversation.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  11:46, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Granted, again. Still, surely the Series 4 Most Promising Newcomer award can't be the only one with questionable choices. CBFan 11:49, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
