The reason I don't see much benefit in another Kat 3 or King Buxton, since most of them are essentially the same from an objective stand point. Let's pick a random bad robot like Raizer Blade and a random good robot like S3.


 * S3 v Kat 3 (S6): I'd vote for S3
 * S3 v Kat 3 (S7): Answer doesn't change
 * S3 v King B Powerworks: I'd vote for S3
 * S3 v King B Remix: Answer doesn't change

Now flip it and put the bad robot in.


 * Raizer Blade v Kat 3 (S6): I'd vote for Kat 3
 * Raizer Blade v Kat 3 (S7): Answer doesn't change
 * Raizer Blade v King B Powerworks: I'd vote for King B
 * Raizer Blade v King B Remix: Answer doesn't change

Putting them back in feels like "but I feel sad that the version we did enter lost so early". We should avoid that logic.

Putting someone like Mega Morg (E1) or Philipper in actually puts in a noticeably different robot. Major Tom 3 follows the same logic, but I see very few battles Major Tom 3 could win, and certainly fewer than Mega Morg and Philipper.
