User blog:NJGW/Top 18 Series of Robot Wars

After deciding to rank every Heat from Series 7 one by one, I thought it was time to broaden the horizon a bit. What better way to do that than a long overdue update of my favourite series list? As you may see on my obese profile page, my favourite series list kind of gave up on existing after Series 9. Since then, time has passed, with Series 10 happening, and me watching all of the foreign wars. Now, I'm finally ready to sort my personal ranking out properly. The 'personal' part of that last sentence is pretty important to consider - especially in a list like this. Even the smallest details such as lighting, pit interviews, and camerawork can give one series an edge over the other.

Now, just like everything in life at the moment, me and Toast seemed destined to clash. Yep. That's right, we were both drafting up the exact same list at the exact same time without even knowing! That was, until... Toast revealed his side of the story. A funny coincidence, yes, we've decided to release our entries in tandem with the other. Even more top-tier content for you 'lucky' Wiki users to enjoy! As long as you guys remember that mine is the superior of the two lists, then I'm sure things will go smoothly.

Aside from Number 18, the plan is to reveal two entries at a time while in the lower region of the list. Once we get to the more serious section, however, it'll be a one-by-one job to crank up that tension a little bit more.

Alright. We all ready? Then let's open up this mess!

18. German Wars
A laughably bad opening fight sets the tone for the bitesized German Wars. When Heat A's best fight is the Extreme German Melee then you know it's bad. Heat B is decent enough, and features the underrated battle between Tsunami and Not Perfect, but the Grand Final title fight was the only truly exceptional battle in the series. Somehow, even that doesn't score top marks, because it used the worst possible battle music for a high-stakes fight!

On a serious note, The German Wars is alright for what it is, and when the worthwhile content does come it is worth enduring the bad fights. However, with padding galore and a limited amount of capable robots, it was always going to struggle to set the world alight.

Highlights - Grand Final fight, Tsunami vs. Not Perfect, Mr. Psycho falling over, Golem's dropzone antics.
