Votes for Wild Thing
- Wild Thing II was constantly aggressive, I feel like it can do enough by driving into Comengetorix into doing small scratches. Wild Thing kept constantly going in against 259, and I think any lifts Comengetorix will do will be outdone by the scratches done by Wild Thing II. Adster1005 09:38, August 4, 2020 (UTC)
- Dantomkia showed that Wild Thing's ground clearance can be exploited easily, but Comengetorix is not on the level of Dantomkia at all. Wild Thing could probably do a little bit of damage to the sides of Comengetorix, but it should aim to repeat its Vader trick and get the disc wedged in the sides. Do that, score damage points and begin shoving Comengetorix about for some easy points. Jimlaad43(talk) 09:50, August 4, 2020 (UTC)
- Sure, Comengetorix could easily get underneath Wild Thing, but given how inconsistent Comengetorix was at simply driving properly, I don't think that'll be an issue. Wild Thing to simply get to the sides and nag away at Comengetorix. No knockout, but Wild Thing takes the judges decision. Also, I would have voted for Wild Thing over Scorpion for similar reasons.

- Oof, Spirit of Scorpion falls on a commentator's vote. I actually think it had a decent shot at beating Wild Thing too, but I'm less confident in Comengetorix. I'd back it if it worked properly, the wedge and dual weaponry should be plenty enough to deal with this version of Wild Thing, but we never saw that flash of potential again after Vercingetorix in Series 4. The Series 6 version of Comengetorix was better than the Extreme 1 version but still not enough. TOAST 10:45, August 4, 2020 (UTC)
- I trust Comengetorix to go the distance here, the S6 robot was definitely better and more reliable than in Ex2, but Wild Thing is well driven enough, not to mention quicker, and can so avoid getting flipped and axed and use its blade to excellent effect.

- Ok so I thought about it and Wild Thing gets my vote. Comengetorix, had it been a more aggressive and reliable robot, would win easily, Hell if this were a Ragnabots I'd argue Mortis would have a chance! Wild Thing's weapon sucks, it broke down easily and barely caused any damage after its impact (yes I am aware of Vader's final match) but really it can win without the rather useless and unreliable blade by ramming and having good control throughout, constantly annoying Comengetorix as best it can. It'll go to a JD but Wild Thing, minus the weapon, wins.Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 16:20, August 5, 2020 (UTC)
- It's annoying, cause Comengetorix was almost a good machine. It's got the tried-and-tested lifter/axe combination, decent speed, a good wedge, but it's just lacking. I mean, we saw in a fight between two similar-on-paper machines that Hydra dominated it - and I would back Hydra here, but Comengetorix never seemed to be driven too well, the armour showed damage easily, the lifter really seemed to struggle to lift other robots, the bladed axe didn't seem to do much damage... All of which will cost it against a tenacious and well-controlled opponent like Wild Thing. Combatwombat555 (talk) 19:10, August 5, 2020 (UTC)
- Wild Thing is driven far better, and while its weaponry wasn’t the best, it was dogged edgy aggressive in pretty much every fight it was in. I can see it causing some minor damage to the sides, dominate the general pace of the fight and comfortably win the judges decision. Raz3r(talk) 21:40, August 5, 2020 (UTC)
- Design wise, Comengetorix should be handily-equipped for this matchup, but I just do not trust it across a whole fight. Wild Thing will be consistent and push hard during Comengetorix's weaker spells. NJGW (talk) 03:42, August 6, 2020 (UTC)

Votes for Comengetorix
- Judging Series 6 Wild Thing is very difficult. Yes, it is arguably one of the best anti-spinner designs of all-time, but does this not really translate well in a battle against Comengetorix. Its agile, sure, but it needs to combine this with either great pushing power or damage potential. Its pushing power really depended on attaching its disc onto its opponents, which it only did against Vader. As for the disc itself, I just don't have anything positive to say about it. It wasn't damaging (in terms of either power like 259 or ruthless aggression like Pussycat), and as we saw, was capable of being disabled by 259. Then, we have the elephant in the room, the high ground clearance overall. Wild Thing is just a really strange beast to me, decent against spinners, perhaps a downgrade to everything else, including against Comengetorix. Indeed, I suspect a few axe blows in the right places should give it the damage points at the very least. And perhaps more importantly, the wedge can easily scoop up Wild Thing, enabling it to trouble its foe with some well-timed attacks. While Nick Adams is a great driver, like Kim Davies, he can only do so much. And I don't think Wild Thing has the capabilities to really trouble its foe here, causing its downfall. If only its disc had the attributes of either an S3 or a Pussycat... then it would be the final piece that would make Wild Thing much better than it was.
