I haven't been involved with the TV series (or built any robots, yet!) but I know the producers like this type of thing, I just think they went a bit too far this time, because usually they'd make some effort to inform the viewers that it was just a bit of fun and they were best of friends really, and it was never really that convincing in the first place.

I thought the way they edited it to make the Foxic team look obnoxious was a bit too convincing, and they made no effort to point out that it was all for show, so lots of people think it was serious, and consequently that has led to a lot of criticism/verbal abuse directed towards them on social media.

I just remembered Chimera was one of your robots - That must've been painful to watch.
