Universe 3 being severely underused when they have such great robot designs?

Look at these guys. Look how cool a robot themed universe looks, complete with a mad scientist type guy leading them.

Now think about a single thing these guys did in the tournament so far...basically just get treated like throwaway fodder to the point where none of them even got a full episode. The most we got was the blue shape shifting guy going after Jiren but he was blown away easily.

Every single one of these robot characters have been treated like throwaway jokes. And the odd thing is 6 of them are still in the tournament! They're going to be some of the last remaining fighters too at this rate, and unless they all merge and combine to some giant robot character or something I don't expect much.

Every single other universe, even arguably Universe 9 due to the Trio de Dangers, got more focus than any of these characters. I love the designs of these guys...but goddamn did they get royally screwed over.

I'm sad for whatever happened to Biara today. He came out of nowhere with a cool entrance, didn't say a word, and got wrecked off-screen by #17.

I hope this ain't the end of him though. His voice was very pleasant to listen to whenever he talked.

This arc is supposed to last until March, I'm positive the robots will get a good showing probably in mid December and part of early January.
On hiatus.

I like Universe 7 winning but I still want to see most other characters get a decent fight before going down. Universe 3 doesn't even get any focus episodes like all the other universes did. The robots are all treated like background fodder.

I can guarantee Paparoni will get a focus episoede. He's too well designed and the writers can use his technical knowledge as an advantage, maybe against the Androids.

Which one is that, the scientist looking guy? I was hoping he would be like Dr. Gero.

Still don't get why Nigirishi was talking instead of Paproni durimg the recuritment arc. That was really dumb.

The Kaioshin of Universe 3 did state that their remaining fighters didn't need the Potara earrings because, so something tells me they have some (hopefully) big plans for for what is left of Universe 3.

Universe 3 has the coolest ideas. I do wish they had a bigger focus as well.

It's too late to hope for any of them, but Paparoni still hasn't had any focus yet and Katopesra keeps showing up and being hilarious, so they might be building to something. I think everyone wants to see them form up Megazord at some point.

Universe 3 has some of the most unique and intriguing designs in the entire tournament. Besides Universe 7, they have the largest remaining squad of participants remaining. But we've seen how a good number of them have been treated thus far. We should keep leveled expectations for them. The only other times where mechanical robot characters were pitted against the main cast was Metallitron and the Pirate Robot; not sure #16 would count since he was a bona fide android from a different generation. These U3 contestants seem to have more in common with DB's rendition of mechanical behemoths.

I want to believe that they'll have something to show in the near future, but we've seen our hopes get dashed one too many times now. Many of them are liable to get tossed aside as expendables, as was the case with Nigrisshi and even Paparoni in one mobile clip where the cyborgs were on the move. For the moment only Universes 11 and 6 seem to have any substantive performance.

maji kayo ( blue dude) was wasted. he was strong enough to hold back ssj goku and he had dyspo pinned to the ground and instead of using him vs androids or gohan or someone he is used to show off jiren power.

all we know so far is that toshio wrote an episode about them which maybe episode 120
and that u3 kaioshin saying they dont need the potaras earrings for there fighters
paparoni havent been shown since the special
I'm mean theres has to be something to them that they have in plan for them to have outlast u6 and u2
biara was treated like trash by 17
katopelsa as well by base vegeta
the three robot that were after goku got rekt by base caulifla
so whatever it is it has something to have them outlast universe 2 and 6 especially

Being part of the Universe 3 team (Support Uni thread) and selecting our theme XD, I can honestly say I'm proud of all our warriors so far. While they haven't done much...they have lasted this long. Everyone's been knocking em around but they keep coming back. Mosco Sama's warriors are brave and definitely up to something soon, I'm sure of it! Go Universe 3!

Still love the hell out of this scene, though.

Your proud of every warrior except Nigrisshi and the Preecho, because seriously, how those two were eliminated was nothing short of embarrassing, espicially for Nigrisshi, strongest enhanced warrior my ass.

what they did to nigrishi pissed me off. first the present him as the leader and then eliminating him with a kick from cabba. what a shame
