Most people here talking about the controversial Mute decision. Me? I'm annoyed at how JP keeps talking about how Mute's flipper opens the wrong way. You know, the way Firestorm's does...

First time seeing this I was rooting for Storm, but now I think Mute should've won I mean it was really good close fight between both, but when they got that flip on at the end it looked like it would win on aggression. But then again Cedric Slammer should've won their fight, despite Mute using its weapon it immobilized them completely and damaged Cedric's drive, even if it was only moving on one side but they did make more movement than its opponent.

The Cedric/Mute decision was definitely controversial, but I think I can see how the split panel ultimately ruled in favour of Mute. There was very little external damage that either robot managed to inflict, and obviously, both robots suffered enough internal damage to immobilize both robots when the primary weapons collided (the judges have ruled robots as immobilized showing more mobility than Cedric did in the past). Ultimately, I think it will have come down to control and aggression. From the beginning, it was Mute trying to make the more offensive maneuvers and corralling Cedric towards the side wall (at least that's what the footage seems to show - there are sometimes discrepancies between the final edits and the raw live show, as evidenced by the conflicting perspectives of audience members watching Mute vs Judge Shred in Series 7 vs the footage shown). I do still feel bad for Cedric Slammer, as they've got a good weapon that did some reasonable damage in their heat.

Cedric Slammer got effing robbed against Mute! To this day, I still disagree with that crap decision. And yeah, it was also a crap fight.

Cedric Slammer vs Mute should’ve gone to a rematch. They’ve done them before when both robots are immobilised simultaneously, why not then? Edit: guess because both robots had failed technically, they would’ve needed time to repair.

Mute was the real unlucky robot of this final. Sure I could see the Cedric slammer decision going either way but I don't think it was an awful decision as mute seemed more controlled than cedric who struggled to move for a lot of the fight. Mute really should have won the final, they're driving was outstanding and they controlled one of if not the most powerful robot in the shows history. They got some great flips on in the end aswell. Wouldn't be suprised if the judges if they were forced to choose storm

Cedric Slammer at least deserved a rematch for that fight.

Anyone with a functioning brain knows Cedric Slammer was the clear winner in that fight, even if you take out their immobilisation which they were clearly the more active machine than Mute, Cedric Slammer was able to use their weaponry way more than Mute did in that peroid of time. Next to the Series 7 final that has to be one of the worst decisions ever seen in Robot Wars.

Mute was robbed I love how they're all fighting for a precious place in series 7 and they all turn up in series 7 anyway, further rendering the entire contest pointless Was there even a new blood robot that didn't show up in either series 6 or 7?

The judges really have a bias for these low pushing robots, Tornado and it's knockoff Storm.

IMO This is probably one of the worst episodes of Robot Wars. I remember watching it and being bored out of my head. 3 of the 4 battles were so uninteresting

Funny... Cedric Slammer should've been given the victory against Mute... but then they deserved to lose to Thor after being taken out by Growler. Really poor driving in that 3rd place playoff... I guess stuff goes like that sometimes...

Shame about Cedric slammer

Man, I still don't get what happened with Cedric Slammer and Mute and I understand even less how mute got the win. Maybe there was more off-screen and the footage showed was just what was deemed the most presentable?

Mute were robbed. Style - Style is a stupid category and was rightfully dropped in the new series. Control - Mute wins. Both robots were in full control of their robots, but Storm didn't have a weapon. Mute only used their flipper when they were under Storm, that should score more points. Damage - Mute wins. Again, they flipped storm twice. Aggression - Equal. Both robots consistently came at one another. Mute might have been less nippy than Storm but they still came at them head on. Unless there is some deleted footage I have no idea how Storm won that.

Skip the first spoiler at 0:56 and 2:07 the second.

Well done, Growler. Ruining a really promising fight for the third place.

Wow the original Thor is completely different from the modern one isn't it? The old design was crap.

Does anyone know if Cedric Slammer attempted to qualify for series 7?

Wowww

Congrats to Storm II for winning!

Storm 2 is so much better than Tornado for 2 reasons: 1 - they're honest about what they are. They don't pretend like they have a weapon system only to drive around and slam into things. 2 - they're much faster, better built, cooler looking, and the guys aren't cheating dickwads. Seeing Storm do burnouts is as cool as watching a bot get flipped out of the arena, and watching it slam bots on the arena wall is so much more fun than when Tornado does it because it's so much faster, it's like watching a car crash, not watching kids on bumper cars, like it is when watching Tornado.

Mute would have been 10x better if they had a flipper that was configured like normal, rather than having the reverse hinged flipper like Firestorm. They had a strong flipper and a well made bot, but that 1 thing kept them from getting flips and being much more effective overall. Reverse hinged flippers are just lame and not as effective. They just tip, which was fine in Firestorms heyday, but by this shows time, they were just pointless, objectively worse overall.

ok i really hate this storm 2 team they are so bloody smug all the time and talking bs
