I'm going to sit on the New Blood Final and Iron Maidens, for the time being at least, because those need a little thinking about. For now, the Challenge Belt.

First question, who's going to be in the Top 3? 'Dantomkia, certainly. Terrorhurtz, also certainly. But it all comes down to the last one, and that's a bit more complicated because all six remaining robots have their problems. Hypno-Disc, Sir Chromalot, Barber-Ous and Vader almost certainly won't last, mostly due to reliability issues, which leaves us with just Iron Awe and S.M.I.D.S.Y....and here, I do see a slight advantage in Iron Awe. Yeah, OK, it's questionable at self-righting, but it's still reliable overall. It took very little comparatively for S.M.I.D.S.Y. to just stop working in both of its battles in the actual CB, and I think Iron Awe can exploit that.

So now...Dantomkia vs Terrorhurtz vs Iron Awe 2 vs Tornado. I can see the first three trying to team up against Tornado, but I don't think it'll be effective. Most likely Tornado will be using the scoop (to which Philippa of course will not shut up about how "unimpressive" it is), and it can easily breach Dantomkia and Iron Awe's ground clearances. I question whether Dantomkia or Iron Awe will even be able to land a flip on Tornado, considering at this stage, their control was not the greatest. Meanwhile, we saw how ineffective Terrorhurtz was against Tornado in the actual event...heck, I wouldn't be surprised if one of the three challengers ends up KO'ing one of the others and that makes it easier for Tornado to overall win.
