Dispatch fans have almost unanimously decided who they would cut from the Z-Team if they were given a choice outside of Sonar and Coop, and I'm guessing you're wondering.
Although it seems like most people think Dispatch's hardest-hitting choice is whether you choose to go on a date with Invisigal or Blonde Blazer, the real highlight of the game actually appears one episode earlier. As Robert is finding his feet on the Z-Team, he is asked to cut Sonar or Coop from the roster.
Who you choose actually has a huge and significant impact on the story of the dispatch, making it a memorable moment that doesn't have enough to do with shipping taking up most of the conversation. One thing most fans will agree on is that Sonar and Coop both deserved better, and there's someone else who really should have been on the chopping block.
Everyone thinks Flambae must have been cut from the Z-Team in Dispatch
But then you won't get his iconic single, “I'm AB**ch, My Name Is Robert”
Over on the Dispatch subreddit, JimHFD103 asked a question that I can't believe took so long to reach the community. When Dispatch forces you to choose whether to cut Sonar or Coop, JimHFD103 asks everyone who they would cut from the Z-Team if they were given free reign, pointing out that Robert wanted to cut Flambae at that point in the game.
The fact that Dispatch isn't really a game makes it a contender of the year
Adhoc Games evolves the Telltale formula in some incredible ways with Dispatch.
I'm sure you can guess where this is going, but the thread almost unanimously agreed that Flambé was the obvious candidate to be cut from the team. Not only is he the most annoying character in Dispatch hands down, but he's also going to be ready for the cut as he's obviously firing himself and then fixing them to increase his position on the leaderboard.
That's not even counting all of his beef with Robert, which is that he'll be killed if you reveal that you're Mecha Man. Sure, Sonar and Coop try to kill Robert later in the game when they team up with Shroud, but that's actually addressed and dealt with at the end, while Flambey's actions are just brushed off.
Interestingly, the second character that has been mentioned the most is Invigil, with many arguing that she didn't make a huge impact in her first episodes and is actually at the bottom of the leaderboard until the final moments. Plot armor, though.
Pretty much everyone in the thread agrees that Flambae is the only real option for the Z-Team cut and will be outclassed by Sonar or Coupe. As long as we all agree that Punch-Up, Golem, Prism, Malevola, and Waterboy are completely off-limits, then I'm happy.

Anthem deserved better before the shutdown, but it was never going to get it
BioWare's looter shooter was doomed to fail, but it still deserved much better.
