Votes for Mortis (4)
- I am going to make Jimlaad very happy with the following opinion: Spawn of Scutter is better than Crusader 2. With that said, I still think Mortis is one of the best Series 4 machines in taking out rambots, due to the potency and relentless nature of the axe. If Spawn of Scutter charges in, it will receive notable damage to the flat top each time. Eventually, unless Spawn of Scutter can use its spike to damage one of Mortis' tracks, I think the internal damage it will take as the battle progresses will be too much, causing a break down and giving Mortis the victory.

- Spawn of Scutter has good pushing power, but in terms of actual speed it is very sluggish. Mortis will take advantage of this by moving into position and axing through the thin polycarbonate of the wide, flat box. NJGW (talk) 14:56, August 8, 2018 (UTC)
- I too find Spawn of Scutter probably the best of the Scutterbots (that's saying a lot! By now my deep boiling hatred of Spawn Again has been made clear before) but here I just feel Mortis is the more controlled, damaging and could even try and pull off a Panic Attack with that lifting arm, maybe? Reguradless that axe will smash and penetrate through the armour and maybe damaging the golden chassis.Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 16:52, August 8, 2018 (UTC)
- Mortis should be able to get round Spawn of Scutter's side and push it around well enough, even without its weapons. With them, I'd say it's almost a shoo-in. Hogwild94 (talk) 17:34, August 8, 2018 (UTC)
- Spawn of Scutter is a great shape for Mortis to axe, and one wonders when the damage will begin to show. I can't see SOS flipping Mortis over with the spike, though it may get a few attacks in of its own; Mortis' attacks will simply impress the judges more, should it get to that stage at all.

- Both robots have taken out machines very similar to their opponents. But Crusader 2 was better than Vercingetorix, so...I really do question what Spawn can actually do to Mortis in the long run. CrashBash (talk) 04:30, August 10, 2018 (UTC)
- Shame for Spawn of Scutter but Mortis has the superior weaponry and armor. BizarroKing (talk) 22:23, August 8, 2018 (UTC)

Votes for Spawn of Scutter
- Mortis being toppled over multiple times by the spike is definitely possible, and as we saw against Steg 2, the weapons can get stuck in awkward spots, making a self-righting maneuver impossible. The axe will do no damage on Mortis, so it's a flip off. Wide and invertible usually prevails against boxy and unreliable srimech. Jimlaad43(talk) 16:06, August 8, 2018 (UTC)
- Stunned by this result, Spawn has the superior wedge and it will eventually overturn Morris. It can self-right, but can also lose a track at any point. TOAST 18:54, August 8, 2018 (UTC)
- 100% agree. Spawn of Scutter can take a lot of punishment, its breakdown had nothing to do with Razer in the Southern Annihilator. Mortis, meanwhile, seems to seize up at every other opportunity and I think the spike will dislodge a track. Toon Ganondorf (t c) 21:16, August 8, 2018 (UTC)
- How many times did Mortis actually "seize up" during Series 4? The answer is one in six fights. That's hardly "every other opportunity" by any definition. CrashBash (talk) 21:22, August 8, 2018 (UTC)
- Wouldn’t you just cast a vote for the other side? Toon Ganondorf (t c) 01:21, August 10, 2018 (UTC)
- Because I'm just as entitled as everyone else to point out what I feel are a few misconceptions? For more see NJGW's counter to Toast's vote on Plunderbird vs Killertron. CrashBash (talk) 04:27, August 10, 2018 (UTC)
- The question was not “why did you respond to my vote”, it was “why would you respond to my vote within seven minutes of it being posted despite not voting in any fight of this heat?” One would think that actually posting a vote is a much more effective and social way to express your views. I’m aware that you have voted now, but you’ve essentially been lurking without participating and I don’t understand why. TOAST 05:42, August 10, 2018 (UTC)
- That shouldn't change the fact that it's still a misconception that I have the right to point out since everyone else is allowed to point out a misconception without being challenged, since (as I said) NJGW pointed out one in one of your previous votes and nobody saw a problem with that. The fact that it was supposedly posted seven minutes after TG made his is irrelevant here because I simply didn't know that was the case. And to answer your question, I'm afraid the reason is a combination of I've been too busy and too tired from work, the main reason as to why I decided I wouldn't be a judge in this series as I knew I wouldn't be able to fully commit. Also there's the fact that most of the votes are for the robots I felt would win anyway, so there's very little for me to contribute except for really close votes, such as Androne 4000 vs 13 Black. If I can get to a vote when it's still quite fresh, then I'll vote, but as it stands, usually when I get here, most of the rounds have been open for several hours and most of the users have already voted. CrashBash (talk) 14:37, August 10, 2018 (UTC)
- It's very very tight for me, but whilst Mortis' axe might land a lot of hits any damage will likely be superficial. Spawn of Scutter has the lower ground clearance and can keep getting the spike into play, and yeah, I agree that Mortis will probably lose a track. Combatwombat555 (talk) 22:13, August 9, 2018 (UTC)
