User blog comment:RA2/Robot Wars Rankdown: Extreme 1 & Series 5/@comment-24393094-20180701084948

Did better than the Italian National Football Team, I guess: Mastiff. Sure, getting dominated by Chaos 2 is nothing to be too ashamed of. However, if the robot could barely self-right the first time and eventually get stuck on its rear, it probably is not competitive enough in the Extreme 1-Series 5 era.

Outdated: Killertron. Yeah, I am sorry. I admit that its only battle in this era was a mess to say the least. From Aggrobot 3 arguably losing a match it should have won, Splinter being overturned, righted and then attacked by Dead Metal, and debate over whether Killertron should have or should not have been pitted by Sir Killalot (did Killertron break down, may I ask?), this is one battle I think the BBC would want you to forget. However, Killertron cannot be forgiven in this era for having a massive ground clearance, weak pickaxe, lack of control, a weak power system and plastic armour from a wheely bin lid.
