Another one that needs to go here is The Big Cheese.

It was a slow wedge, with an even slower lifter. How is that supposed to be a great robot. In the context of Series 3, yeah it can beat a lot of them, but in tournaments where it fights later robots it seems to have Behemoth style lifting abilities and is able to cross the arena at a massive pace. Nobody seems to bat an eyelid at the fact that it was weakly armoured, and the srimech was achingly slow. Any competent 100kg-era flipper turns it over and flips it around while the red arm slowly creaks open. All the time in the world to score an easy oota, or give it to Matilda to destroy in the CPZ.

People need to realise that Chaos 2 showed Big Cheese for what it actually is, rather than fluke won.
