User blog:O Raz3r O/5 Robots that deserved to win more and lose less

This blog is based solely on machines who have recorded more losses than wins during their time on Robot Wars. Some machines have more losses than wins simply because they're a bit... rubbish (think along the lines of Henry, Milly-Ann Bug and Clawed Hopper). However, there are other machines who have had bad draws, driven down the pit or simply been too inconsistent in terms of their performance. I'm here to celebrate the underdog that perhaps shouldn't have been the underdog. Machines that really could and should have gone on to greater things. These are the not-quites, the c-list celebrities, the M. Night Shyamalans, the West Broms of Robot Wars, whatever you want to call them. That's nothing against these machines themselves, because some of them are among my favourite machines.

Honourable Mentions

 * Judge Shred - The first two machines were pretty weak, but between them they managed to get as many wins as losses. Judge Shred 2.5 had a decent weapon, but its armour let it down against the likes of 259 and Anarchy, and it consequently lost all of its fights. If they hadn't been ganged up on in Series 6 though, I reckon they could have gone through with Anarchy. Judge Shred 3 were even better, and were on top in their heat final against Mute until they lost drive on one side.
 * King Buxton - A machine that just won't die, King B has never really shown itself to be a great machine beyond Series 2, its KO of Tornado in Extreme and winning the Tag-Team with 101 in Series 4 aside. They really should have beaten Atomic in Series 4, and were unfortunate to draw Dominator 2 in round 2 of Series 5. I admire their persistence though, and their fighting style was brave and full-on. If they had just upgraded their machine that little bit more - perhaps adding a stronger weapon and better protection to the innards - they could have gone further in later series.
