User blog:AgentHoxton/Animatronics and the What-If? Death Battle circuit

I think from the title of the blog, you should tell what is coming.

So as you all know, the Animatronics are... "prominent" figures in this wiki. They've received plenty of fights - Freddy Fazbear having 24 match-ups (not counting the ones that don't have their own page) and every other Animatronic having a similar number. However, their appearances in the What-If? Death Battle circuit has become... troublesome, to say the least.

It was clear that the Animatronics were only made to have the tar kicked out of them, regardless of their potential opponent(s). Back in the days of them being in the Hall of Records, their track records consisted of nothing but losses (Foxy and Springtrap being the only Animatronics to deservedly score a victory, and that was against their... let's call them "comrades") against a wide variety of opponents. I was originally going to be one of those people, but I backed out. And I think the fact that they were banned from the Hall of Records is more than enough evidence against the Animatronics being around.

However, this isn't the only issue I've seen. Lately Animatronics have been getting a lot more wins. Now I don't mind Animatronics winning, but some, if not all of them, just seem ridiculously forced. Like they want to have Animatronics win solely to spite the people who made them lose in the past and made them butt-monkeys. They either pit the Animatronics (or just one) against an opponent who is a non-combatant, or they win against a combatant that they should have lost to, but didn't because poor research and/or bias. That just isn't cool at all.

A few people I've spoken to want the Animatronics gone. Given the backlash towards the Animatronics, I'd be more than happy to oblige ridding of them right away. But I'd much rather have you, the community, speak before such a decision is made. Use the poll below to cast your vote on whether the Animatronics should stay around or get the axe.
