Series 9's opening melee had a veteran, a comedy robot and a moneybags robot.

Series 10's opening melee also had a veteran, a comedy robot and a moneybags robot.

Of course the Sabretooth wealth wasn't as highlighted as RAPID, although they did still show Gabe in a luxury suit swerving a high budget sports car after admitting he brought two Sabretooths to filming, more of a parallel than you'd think! Running that melee first allowed the episode to open with Antgate Aftermath, which could be a good or bad thing, not sure.

Your criticisms were fair, I do think it's James Davies and Dave Young who carry the bulk of the episode, they turned average build-up into good build-up, something your battles-only summaries couldn't touch on. Evidently it's far too late for an Interview/Narrative rating section, but it's something that would help S10 Heat A, BOTS 2 while hindering World Series Ep 2 and the Series 9 Grand Final, and overall justify each placement. I can't see myself doing this type of blog now, but that would probably be the main gimmick of mine if I did write one!
