- And we start by one of the most entertaining yet one of the most controversial battles in Audited Series 6. As much as I enjoyed the outcome of that match, I must admit that I, along with the other Stinger supporters, and while we are at it, the Razer supporters, collectively messed up. You see, not a single person mentioned that Stinger is vulnerable being grabbed because Chompalot did so in that Round 1 melee. Indeed, Chompalot had quite a good grip on the seed, before having to let go in order to defend itself against 13 Black. Well, anything Chompalot can do, Razer can do much, much better. Henceforth, Razer to grab its foe, probably lift it into the air, and Pit it. A shame! SpaceManiac888 (Talk) 09:14, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
- Well, we're guaranteed a seed to fall in the first round of the Semi-Finals, so much for 13 seeds remain This is a matchup I always get wary of especially in the Semi-Finals, as it really could go either way (and I'm pretty sure it has done before). As Space says, Chompalot grabbed Stinger in that first round melee. And despite Razer having a completely different crusher, I still think it could grab between the axle and the wheel, and Stinger can't do anything. Razer might even be able to get a purchase on the axle itself, or puncture the wheel in places. Stinger can only attack down, and whilst that may be aggressive, I don't see much damage. If Razer doesn't pit it, an easy Judges' Decision. Adster1005 09:21, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
- This for me is a dream match. Stinger will give Razer some trouble but as Tiberius did in the DRG I see Razer grabbing around Stinger's middle or wheels and clamping down to pop a tire or drive it into a hazard, controlling Stinger and maybe achieving a KO. A fun match this.Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 09:39, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
- I was absolutely baffled by the outcome last time. Again, I'll reference the same things of Stinger not having a chunky body, which allows it to grab or dictate, or the key one which is that Stinger does not sit and spin constantly for 5 whole minutes. NJGW (talk) 10:32, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
- Yeah, I'm with Razer again. I can't really see Stinger causing much damage - overhead hits won't do a lot, and sit-and-spin strikes should mostly just glance off the curved armour - and Razer should be able to dictate the pace of the fight. It should be able to grab hold of the axle (or alternatively the shaft above the curved metal flanges), box it into a CPZ, let the House Robots go to town on it. Razer was very, very good at controlling the fight even against opponents that were awkward to damage, and this'll be no different. Combatwombat555 (talk) 11:24, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
- Really relieved to see this outcome so far. As Diotoir quite rightly pointed out, Tiberius 2 showed that crushers can indeed grab Stinger by the wheels, and it didn’t just beat Stinger in DRG 2001’s main competition, but in a side event with M2 present as well. While Razer probably isn’t as well armoured as Tiberius 2, it’s still more than capable of getting a hold of the thwackbot and crushing into it. Stinger may dent Razer in a couple of places, but Razer will command the general flow of the fight, either scoring a pitting or comfortably winning on a judges decision.

- A pretty infamous match in the history of the wiki and I can totally still see Stinger winning. But Marc's evidence of the Tiberius fight surfacing did prove convincing and I suppose Razer would just score higher for its own efforts. I could vote Stinger like last time, but Razer would only win the losers' melee anyway haha. TOAST 14:03, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
- This is a battle I still would have loved to have seen. If it weren't for the revelation of Stinger losing to Tiberius, I would have voted for it, easily. But considering that Razer is obviously leagues better than Tiberius (which feels painful to say towards what was clearly the second-best crusher of the classic era), I suppose it would make sense for it to beat Stinger in a comparable way. I wouldn't have strictly used the Chompalot argument, BTW, due to the nature of the weapon set-ups...I would have argued Chompalot's narrower mouth would have made it more suited for grabbing Stinger in the first place...but the revelation speaks for itself.

- Hang on, Stinger won that fight? What? This always just seems like a Razer win no matter what incarnation we're talking about. And honestly, if Tiberius was able to lock onto Razer's wheel, then Razer will almost certainly do the same thing. Hell, Chompalot managed to clamp onto Stinger as well, so grabbers seem like the absolute worst thing Stinger could match up against. It'll take a while, but once Razer gets its crusher locked onto Stinger's tire or central axle, it'll be a swift pitting job from there. --TheyCallMeDoot (*doot doot*) 17:06, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

Votes for Stinger
- Stinger is just way too tough to grab, even on the tyres, for Razer. I can't see Razer getting a grip on Stinger since it binned off the weird back plate it had in Series 4. Stinger to get one or two whacks on Razer's wings to rack up some damage points, and win on virtue of Razer struggling to get any meaningful attacks lined up. Jimlaad43(talk) 11:36, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
- Nah, I'm going to stick with Stinger here. The Tiberius revelation doesn't change my judgement that much, mainly because Stinger would still be able to catch Razer on the wheels to knock it out, and also because Tiberius' crusher is a bit higher than Razer's I think.
