33. Yes, it was nice that Diotoir did so well. 32. Another moment which probably counts as great, but that I didn't enjoy watching. Razer's one of my favourites and at the time I was thinking "When are you going to STOP BREAKING DOWN?!"

31. A great battle that I nominated, although personally I think GBH2 should have gone through instead of Sir Chromalot. 30. Ah, the Plunderbird team. I loved 'em! 29. This one should have been called the House Robot Rebellion - it was more fun than the actual HRR in Extreme 1! 28. I picked this battle for sheer goodness, and evidently someone else did too.

Am I the only one using this thread now?
27. I considered nominating this one, but decided I preferred the Lightning fight for the HR flipping. 26. This was certainly a good fight. There's an award in Battlebots called the "Giant Screw" or something like that for the robot that takes the most damage and is still capable of movement - could BB have won that? 25. Not much to say for this one, as I can't remember much about Storm 2's debut, but I imagine it was impressive. 24. Now this, I remember. Big shock!

Sigh. Might as well carry on.
23. Good fight - one of the best turnarounds in RW. 22. Another good fight which would have been more of a shock if we hadn't already seen Chaos 2 losing in Extreme. 21. I nominated this fight - an excellent tussle. 20. Not sure if this counts as a great moment, but the start of an impressive and robot-pounding career for Hypnodisc! 19. This could count as a great moment, but maybe lower down - it was all over too quickly. 18. STORM 2 SHOULD HAVE WON! Well, from what we saw, anyway. 17. Nice final with good flipping from the champ. 16. Excellent destructive work from Typhoon 2, but I think this fight should be lower down, as we had already seen destructive work like that.

Comments much appreciated, Richie. Nice to see that SOMEONE is still interested... *sinister glares at other Forumers*

Shame the BBC never showed much of it, and when they did I only ever saw one heat.
Great stuff so far Mr Steve!

15. I wasn't too happy with this fight - had been expecting Tornado to do well after Extreme. 14. Well, what can you say about six seconds? 13. I chose this fight, both because it was a good fight, and because we saw Gemini for the first time. Again, I was very disappointed when it failed to make the semis, but I've since forgiven Tornado. 12. Definitely a cool OOTA, which is hard to do now that OOTAs are no longer a rareity. 11. Ah, the first of a long running and now boring trend. Another of my nominations, this. George Francis said in Real Robots that he thought he might be disqualified - so did I! 10. This was a boring fight IMHO - Razer crush and pin BB, repeat, repeat, repeat. Disappointing after the first three thrilling fights of the S5 final. 09. This was a more fun final, but not my choice for the best one, which should be coming up later. 08. Another nomination of mine for its wickedly fun destruction, and Craig's "close fight, we'll have to go to the judges - just kidding!"

Oh come on Velociraptor, this is getting silly...virtually EVERY thing I pick you have a problem with...I am accepting your opinions, but still...
I mean...I picked Diotoirs pinball run because it was funny, Behemoth vs Crushtacean because it was a major shock and Razer vs Bigger Brother because they were my two favourite robots back then and they were in the Grand Final together. And you don't seem to think anything of them.

Sorry, Dinowarrior. It's nothing personal - it's just my opinion on these things, and we're all entitled to our own opinion. If you think Diotoir's pinball run or Razer vs BB are great RW moments, you are perfectly entitled to feel that way - I just don't feel the same way.
