User blog comment:RA2/Robot Wars Rankdown: Series 2/@comment-1011118-20180308234620

14.  Robo Doc While highly impressive from a technical standpoint, I have to rank this one last because it's not a killer like the rest of them.

13 Killerhurtz They were in one of the most stacked heats, and they might be able to beat Roadblock in a rematch, but I'm not 100% certain that a wedge wouldn't cause it problems.

12. Chaos The predecessor to a legend, this bot was the beta they needed to get a successful end product. Perhaps they could have gotten farther if they had remebered the self-righting ears, but they probably wouldn't have beaten Mace, and would have had a lot more struggles with their high ground clearance.

11. Razer One of the greatest of all time, and the only robot in Series 2 that could really total an opponent. That said, 11 robots showed as great potential and did deliver, so Razer has to step down here.

10. Behemoth Another icon, but I'm hoping people don't let Behemoth's legacy earn the Series 2 version undue credit. This version was slow with a bucket that couldn't flip anything, and indisputably the weakest of the top 8 finishers.

9. All Torque. Like Killerhurtz, they lost in a very stacked heat. They choked up against King B, but could've won a number of thers.

8. King Buxton This, for me is the borderline between "really good" and "legend." King B was a good pusher, but lacked a wow factor like the rest. Unlike its successors, this was just too plain to really be a big fan of. Also by the team's own account, it had an unstable setup that could've blown at any stage.

7. Mace Very solid at every stage, and might've gone further if not for their poor route choice. Always in control of everything in their heat.

6. GBH If you're confused about why this is so high, it's probably because you're experiencing a Mandela Effect, and forgetting how few Series 2 bots could actually flip a robot with an active weapon. S2 Behemoth could just lift, and the mighty Mace is remembered for flipping Chaos 2, but that was Matilda's doing. Killed both their opponents with no help from the house robots.

5. Roadblock They did finish third, but they have to pay the piper for almost losing in two guantlets and one trial. They have every right to continue to weaponize the wedge, but I, and I think most people, like weaponed robots more.

4. Mortis Better torque than some robots that didn't have a weapon in addition. They sorted out their axe problems so they could use it at every stage

3. Killertron "Weapon with a capital W" is how some people described it in Series 1, but this version was back in ever better form. The pounding they gave Behemoth was a real tour de force.

2. Panic Attack A very dominat and well-driven champion with its only slip up being the semifinal gauntlet.

1. Cassius They didn't win, but they are the undisputed icon of this series. Pioneers of the flipper that dominates most of the live UK circuit today, and the first ever British self-right. A highly-optimized combat machine in a time when most people were still figuring out the basics
