Rules with Failed Quadratic Replicators

For the successful ones: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2288

B3578/S23 (orthogonal)

Code: Select all

x = 9, y = 3, rule = B3578/S23
2o5b2o$2o5b2o$2o5b2o!
B38/S2378 (orthogonal)

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = B38/S2378
3o$obo$obo!
B34tw5y/S23 (diagonal)

Code: Select all

x = 6, y = 6, rule = B34tw5y_S23
3o$obo$3o2$4b2o$4b2o!
B34w/S23 (diagonal) (essentially just an unstable version of the ew one)

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 8, rule = B34w_S23
bo2$3o3$6bo2$5b3o!
Replicate under 10 times before not being replicators:

B3-kn5y8/S234i5i (diagonal)

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 4, rule = B3-kn5y8/S234i5i
b3o$o2bo$o2bo$3o!
B3-ckq/S2-c34ci (hilarious)

Code: Select all

Also a failed replicator in B3/S234y.
Here's another:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = Life
bo$3o$bo!
[[ STOP 5 ]]

Well, that really can't be called a "failed replicator", because the crosses were actually touching each other.

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 9, rule = B3-jqr/S01c2-in3

That replicator isn't failed, nor is it quadratic.

Yes, that's known, and no, it does not belong in this thread.
Here's a failed class-Q replicator:

I found two of these back in November:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = B3-r/S1e23eir
bo$3o$bo!

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 3, rule = B3-ckq/S02-i34q
b3o$o3bo$2ob2o!
The first rule also has a c/2o R ship.

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 3, rule = B3-q4z5y/S234k5j

This rule also has a natural spacefiller, which forms from simply a single tub (as opposed to the barge replicator):

However, when arising from soup it usually also fails due to colliding with debris:
