Wonder if there will be 18 seeded machines as there were 18 through to the Sunday.

razerdave,

Galactus finished on 7th place.

Guilherme: I wrote that list based on the order the top 10 went out. When you had the losers melee with LS4, Tiny Toon, Beauty 2 and Little Hitter, you were the 2nd robot immobilised, Ls4 was immobile first. Ergo, you got 'seeded' 9th.

Dave, how did Binky and Conker 3 make the Annihilator list? I am confused.

[razerdave]

Conker is an unknown quantity still, it could do grea or fall flat on its face, and since it looked kinda complicated, I reckon it would do the latter, but because it should be a decent spinner, it would get selected for the Annihilator (they usually pick 2 spinners, 2 flippers and 2 random others (pusher, axe, crusher, axlebot). Binky, we'll see if it will improve on last year, but again, you may find faults.

[Eventorizon]

Ah, ok, that makes sense.

Since both Conker 1 and 2 have only competed once and will never fight again the name itself is still a wildcard. Conker 3 is a massive improvement in design but will again be like a new machine.

Binky should be able to improve on last years performance without much difficulty. Since 2 of its qualifiers were fought with no weapon it can only really go up. As for the second round it would depend who it was drawn against. Little Hitter was basically the only machine it couldn't hit, any of the others and it could have been a different story.

I guess we will find out in April.

Rango is going to be unreliable as hell.
