Am I the only one that's actually disappointed with Episode 4 as a whole? To me, it was an utter shame to see virtually every losing robot in the Group Battles being knocked out instantly, and that even the heavy spinners seemed unable to last the full distance in all but a few of the battles thereafter. To be fair, Pulsar's hits on Apex and Supernova were awesome, Ironside3 was solid and consistent throughout (although a bit heavy-handed with the damage it inflicted to already-immobilised opponents, I should say) and the educational segment on robot armour was a pleasant surprise. However, I feel that in comparison to Series 8, the lack of genuinely close battles, varied draws and resilient robots so far in Series 9 is starting to hurt it IMO.
