I understand that i dont own a heavyweight but my thought is, hasnt it always been this way.
Think to the 1st uk championship. Mortis was the favoute, with an axe.
Next series, we got Napalm, Killertron and Mortis in the semi Final. Also worth mentioning Killerhurtz among others.
2nd Uk championship. Cassius (among others) and its flipper/scrimech.
Next series we have Chaos 2, Firestorm, Berserk 2, and Gravedigger. With similar weaponry.
3rd UK championship. Hypno-Disc with the Kinetic Flywheel, and Chaos with the Rearword hinged flipper.
Next series there are no semi finalists who have been inspired by Hypno-disc. But Thermador 2, Wheely Big Cheese, and Steg 2, seem to be inspired by Chaos 2.
However over the next few years we get so many robots based on Hypno- Disc. Fluffy, 259, 13 Black, Typhoon 2, and so on.
So the pont is, theres not really a problem with the show being dominated by one particular robot design. Its really always been that way and always has been. Its just we are currently going through an extended period of no one being able to think of a superior design to the last.
I think its just a case that aslong as every robot in the final isnt similar. Then its fine. At the start of the O2 i would not have put a bet on Envy reaching the final. My bet would have been on Terrorhurtz, then Envy beat Terrorhurtz in the first round in record time.
So kinda what clive said, sure your robot will lose to another every time, but it doesnt mean to robotieer and the robot will lose every time. Like Panic Attack
