What happened to the rest of the bots?

There are four listed on the website that haven't made it into the show, but they've already announced the wild cards. Are they cut, or are they going to appear in the next round?

Yeah I see them too. Odd.

Almost positive we won't be seeing them in the next round. They already have the remaining 16 declared.I would guess they had 28 build bots (the teams were pre-selected) but dropped the four least interesting.

If you buy a ticket for a remake, you are the problem, not Hollywood.

I thought they were the ones that they did a quick recap of, apparently the fights were quick. I would have still wanted to see them in full. I missed the first part of the segment so not sure if it covered them all.

They weren't mentioned in the final results when they were announcing the wild cards and were never seen.

You're right. I just checked the website and don't remember bulldog. Maybe there was some dropouts due to technical failures. Just a guess

I assumed because of the format, not an open competition, they would have to have bots in reserve.

I would think they then had some sort of non fighting audition process.

I just watched a Tested YouTube video and they talked about the "alts" aka alternates.
