Really pleased with the new incarnation of the show overall, though I do wish they had got Marc Biero back.

Also glad to see Nightmare is just as loving rad and self-destructive as ever.

The wild card selections are a bit odd, but all the Battlebots judging stuff was always screwy, so it's par for the course I guess.

Not too sure about all the professional wrestling-style DRAMA they've added to the show, but the quality of the actual fights has been good.

Tombstone looks impressive, but the 'weed whacker' design has tended to have problems with weapons breaking down, after which you're hosed. My pick so far would be....Bronco, maybe?

Am I mistaken or has every single bot that uses fire lost so far?

And that's why Bronco will beat Tombstone. Survive the spinner's first hit, flip him, and you win.
(Yes I know Tombstone is invertible, but a few flips from Bronco will destroy him.)

Really impressed with Ghost Raptor dude's ingenuity.

Good season. Hope to see more in the future, and the return of more classic Bots like Hazard and VLAD......THE IMPALER
