3. Fog of War. Contributed almost nothing to any of the fights, except for Rapid vs Track-toon vs Bucky the Robot and Magnetar vs Expulsion.

2. Iron-Awe 6. Goes without saying, I think, that Iron-Awe 6 disappointed us all, failing to get a single flip from four different fights.

1. This never seemed like a big enough issue for individual fights, but I must say that I think modifying robots to combat specific competitors was always a bit off with me, especially when you were using things that didn't necessarily belong to the team. Cases include Track-tion being lended a wedge to fight Apex, Eruption having Thor's entanglement device equipped against Cathadh, Concussion's Nuts guards and Carbide's chain guard to fight Nuts 2 again. None of the entanglement devices succeeded, except for Gabriel 2's helping to take out Big Nipper's drive rather than its actual spinner. I just feel like modifying a robot with bits mifway through the competition detracts from the whole point of the competition. Of course you'll have weaknesses, but it's something that should be sorted out for next series, rather than the very next battle.

I want to make it clear that having slightly different weapons e.g. Eruption's multiple flippers, Aftershock's different spinners, Gabriel's range of the weird and wonderful, and Thor's different axes are fine with me, because they were pre planned and they used their own materials before filming began. What isn't ok, to me at least, is the idea of modifying your robot in a way like Carbide does. You may say it's sporting to share bits and pieces between teams, but what about the opposition? Shouldn't they have a say? Once Carbide decides to modify a robot to counter you, what chance do you have? None! Not for Nuts, anyway. It reminds me of the controversial Anti-Razer device Tornado produced to be honest, and that sort of thing was eventually banned. I don't know, it just leaves a bitter aftertaste.
