User blog:CaliforniaKingsnake/Controversial decisions that, had they went the other way, could have changed the whole wars

If there is one "c" word I would associate with Robot Wars besides carnage, it would be controversy. Many times in the Wars robots were eliminated through controversial actions or judges' decisions. Well what if these had gone the other way? Now there are a lot of controversial decisions in the Wars, too many to list. So I've only chosen the ones that could have definitely changed the outcome of the Wars that it happened in, but could have also changed future wars as well.

Suicidal Tendencies vs Wheely Big Cheese (Series 4, Heat H)
An absolute classic around here, and although Wheely Big Cheese went into the pit, Suicidal Tendencies was classed as immobile on one side, so Big Cheese wins. This decision is HIGHLY controversial, with many roboteers calling it garbage. So what would have happened in the Fourth Wars had Suicidal won?

Suicidal Tendencies vs Tornado. Now Tornado may be zippy and quick, but so is Suicidal. S.T could easily get in at Tornado's sides with those big forks of theirs and even get in with the little axe too. So S.T wins here.

Suicidal vs Chaos 2. No doubt about it, Chaos 2 wins. There is no chance Suicidal could win sadly.

But this is where it gets interesting, because this performance means that Suicidal would probably get the 12th seed Tornado got next series, Tornado MIGHT get seed 10, and W.B.C could get 21st seeding. So let's see what happens there...

Heat G: Suicidal Tendencies with their brand new crushing claw easily dispatches of Gravedigger, as it can lift them into their claw. Against Diotoir? No doubt in my mind could Suicidal win (provided no mechanical failures), and so it's S.T against Spawn Again, and this would be close. Spawn Again might have that awesome power in their flipper, but then again they have lost to Razer, so if Suicidal can get at Spawn's sides and avoid that flipper, then they could win. Then it's into the Semis again and loses to Razer, then in the Loser's Melee gets trashed by S3. All in all, much better for S.T

Heat H: The biggest change we have is that W.B.C doesn't get its massive flip record (well, not here anyway). Tornado would mop the floor with Wolverine, even if it can't get them OotA. Against Axe-Awe, Tornado's too quick to be phased by them, but Axe-Awe could hold on to a judges decision which it would then lose. So it's Tornado v Crushtacean in the Heat Final, and although Tornado is the quicker, you have to remember just how quick Crushtacean is too, and that they have those pincers that could crumple Tornado's frame. It would be close, but no matter who wins, they'll lose against Dominator 2 and probably not get through the Loser's Melee.

Heat K: THIS is where W.B.C gets that record flip, but against Rick instead. Then it blows away Destruct-A-Bubble with just as much ease, so it's the 2 seeds: Razer vs Wheely Big Cheese. Now I love both of these robots, so it's hard for me to choose between the two, but Razer has the better drive and could get behind W.B.C to crush in and destroy. Then nothing changes in the Semis
