Here's mine for the latter two:

Series 9

Heat A: Crank-E - Googly eyes and some rust coloration don't memorable make. Basically just a vehicle for Aftershock to make an explosive debut.

Heat B: Draven - It's easy to remember that it came back for the reboot, but not that it came back a second time, since it went out in the exact same style (one hit from a spinner)

Heat C: Foxic - Blame it on the lack of screentime for the teams who went out in Round 1, but everyone else at least touched another robot before they died.

Heat D: HIGH-5 - By nature of this format (bots who survive Round 1 get quadruple the screentime), it has to be a Round 1 dropout. I feel for them - they actually had a chance to make good use of the "revive" that Wyrm got. Crushy at least has a unique design that they got a chance to explain.

Heat E: Meggamouse - What can I say, except this was symptomatic of the divide between the "haves" and "have nots." Rusty at least fell apart in a semi-interesting fashion.

Series 10:

Heat A: Apocalypse - The only notable thing is that in 10 series of Robot Wars, that name was never used.

Heat B: Crackers N' Smash - All of them have a good argument for not being forgettable in The Most Predictable Heat Ever, but CnS wins it because their thing was purely a thing that happened to them, and they were a complete nonparticipant in this show.

Heat C: Vulture - That mascot saves Bucky, IDGAF if the robot was forgettable. Vulture was a creative design and I admire them for trying that weapon, HOWEVER, it must be said that their weapon never did anything, their win was through wedging, and they ended with a forefeit. And their front wedge with the two prong-thingies, I feel like I see that everywhere (Thor, Aftershock, Dystopia, etc)

Heat D: Iron Awe 6 - Weeeeeeedge.

Heat E: Hobgoblin - In a dead heat with Push To Exit for who can miss their full potential the hardest, PtE got notable weapon usage, and Shane Swan's antics left an impression.
