talk about all of the judges decisions from all 9 series.
Well first of all its a bad desicion to make this thread :crazy:
Indeed, we have to many of those. Instead, I shall complain about something else...the Fantasy Fights in the old RW Magazines.
WARHOG vs DISC-O-INFERNO vs MAZAKARI
-At one point, DOIs disc is shown as see-through.
-Only the ring of Warhog should spin, not the head as well (third picture)
-It is highly unlikely that Mazakari would have stayed still when Warhog hit it. In theory, BOTH robots should have gone flying.
CRONOS vs REPTIRRON
-The artist appears to have never seen Cronos. Not only does its crusher look odd, but it doesnt opperate correctly either: instead of it coming down, its wedge (which is smaller) comes up.
-The saws on the arena walls are badly designed, and more Battlebots than Robot Wars
-Dead Metal appears to have grown bigger.
DIOTOIR vs THE CREATURE
-The fact remains that neither bot was even close to Sgt Bashs CPZ...just an excuse to set Diotoir alight. There are flame pits, you know.
-Diotoirs eyes are not attached to the body by springs. They are free hanging, and come off cleanly (or in pieces)
-Once again, the saws are overdone.
-Amazingly, using only fire, Sgt Bash knocks Diotoir onto his side, destroys bits of it and tears a wheel out. How realistic.
GRAVEDIGGER vs THE MORGUE vs KNIGHTMARE
-Knightmare is shown getting stranded on its side...but isnt that what those little bar thingies are for?
-How was Gravedigger able to damage Morgue just by charging at it? It would be more realistic the other way around, although even then it was questionable.
FIRESTORM 2 vs BOLT FROM THE BLUE vs TORNADO
-Both Firestorm and Tornado are at an unfair disadvantage, as Firestorm has its wedge plate on and Tornados spike is stuck out.
-BFTBs flipper doesnt go like how it was shown.
-Weve seen from their real fight together that Firestorm cant get underneath BFTB...why here?
-Amazingly, BFTB charges away from the beached Tornado, flies up Firestorms wedge in the same direction...and crashes right back into Tornado again, STILL going the same way! Wierd.
RAZER vs RAIZER BLADE
-Again, flipper fault. Anyone should know Raizer Blade is a reptillian Biohazard.
-Apparantly, the CPZs are in the middle of the arena. That kinda destroys the concept.
-Big HR biasey here! How come, when Raizer Blades gas canister exploded, Razer (who had just a hold on the armour) exploded into little itty bitty pieces but Dead Metal (who actually cut through the canistar) didnt? Come to think of it, why didnt Raizer Blade explode? The mind boggles.
SUMPTHING vs ONSLAUGHT vs SCAR
-Sumpthing is horribly constructed...portrayed as completely static. Not once does the axe swing down properly.
-Onslaught pushes Scar into the pit before Sumpthing (due to it flying through the air), but Scar is shown on top of Sumpthing in the last picture.
SAW POINT vs SPIKASAURUS
-OK, so were supposed to believe that Spikasaurus actually drove up Saw Points wedge which is...oh, I dunno...SEVERAL FREAKING CENTIMETRES OFF THE GROUND!
-I doubt Spikasaurus would impale itself at that speed and distance. Sorry.
-I also doubt Saw Point would actually cut Spikey up either.
X-TERMINATOR 2 vs REACTOR 2
-OK, this is silly! Why is an 80~ kilo robot from S4 taking on a 100~ kilo robot from S5? Theres no stupid contest.
-Everything about X-terminators axe is off. The REAL XT2s axe would never be able to lop through wood, cut weapons off or wreck itself...it just isnt powerful enough.
-And how did the rest of it get wrecked as well?
EVIL WEEVIL vs LITTLE FLY vs MILLY ANN BUG
-Ill ignore the fact that Millys face changes in almost every clip.
-When Evil Weevil hits the bug and fly, a wheel comes off. However, the next three pictures show BOTH of them still have all their wheels intact.
-Little Fly self destructs upon being knocked out of the arena? Are you sure?
STINGER vs MORTIS vs HYPNO-DISC
-I so hate the artist! EVERY robot is not itself! Mortis has no armour, Hypno-Disc is too flat and Stingers spike is stuck upwards for the whole duration of the fight! No wonder it lost!
-The arena flipper is facing the wrong way.
-The likelyhood of said flipper flipping an 80~ kilo robot out of the arena is rediculous!
-Again, another self-destructing robot. How realistic.
PUSSYCAT vs RAZER vs CHAOS 2 (with guest appearance from THE RED BARON)
-For once an actual fact goof...Pussycat beat Razer in the heat final, not the semi final.
-Of course, the Red Barons stats dont even mention Matilda.
-Razer appears to have picked up no fire damage when he and Pussycat charge in for the kill.
-Chaos 2s flipper plate is in the wrong place in the final picture.
-Finally, if the Red Baron exploded, surely everyone else would have as well. Unless they exploded once they landed...which, in the RWM Fantsay Fight world, is realistic.
Anyone else wish to complain about any of these, plus more? Anyone want to re-do the fights realistically? Ill pay!
-Big HR biasey here! How come, when Raizer Blades gas canister exploded...
...at the risk of being yelled at for resurrecting a two year old thread, wasnt Raizer Blades lifter hydraulic?

Well then, I guess thats ANOTHER error on the old RWM writers part. I seriously have to wonder how much they REALLY knew about the robots they were dealing with.
Does anyone else aside me, BTW, actually remember the Fantasy Fights from the old Robot Wars Magazines. They looked cool at the time, but looking back, they were really quite rubbish.
razer vs firestorm
fix
I remember that they had lots of explosions for no apparent reason, but not much other than that.
I never ever got an issue of the old one

Taken from the 3rd World Championships discussion thread. I know theres no need, Elliot, but Id personally like to hear your thoughts.
Mortis VS Recyclopse: The first perhaps controversial fight
Recyclopse:
Style: Im not too sure if it really had any sort of tactic (1)
Control: Wasnt really in control for much of the time, if at all (1)
Damage: Mortis reversed into Matilda, but she didnt do much damage to it (1)
Agression: Mortis was pushing it around everywhere (1)
Total for Recyclopse: 4
Mortis:
Style: Pushed Recyclopse into the CPZs, but I dont think Recyclopse was damaged (2)
Control: Good control displayed by pushing Recyclopse around, but not for getting itself stuck on the side wall (2)
Damage: Without its axe, I dont think it did (0)
Aggression: Pushing Recyclopse around the arena and the house robots gives it points (3)
Total for Mortis: 7
Thats my opinion
