well.. missile weapons are the most effective for high burst damage and penetrating shields. There are many shield bots in gold, because high level plasma weapons are deadly without a shield. Griffins are used because they are capable of jumping from cover to cover, while also dealing heavy damage in the process, be it with plasma or missiles. Molots and punishers are not used as much in gold, as punishers are not accurate enough for their range (punishers past 300m are a joke, too much spray), and sustained fire is difficult to achieve with Molots, as ranged bots generally make use of hard cover.

Trident fury, again is used to stop knife fighters from charging around wherever they want, but is completely useless for capping beacons, and serves as a more supportive role, not overpowered at all IMO.

As for lancelots, I use them because they are capable of dishing out massive damage at close range, however their weaknesses are low mobility, and can easily be taken out by griffins, deathbutton rhinos (if they are skilled pilots and don't try and charge the Lancelot), rdb griffins and trident furies, they are only really good for handling very close range situations, but at that, they excel.
