Bots able to evade while stunned. Bug, or intentional? [Under Investigation]

I am getting tired of losing large chunks of health in AM from this strange mechanic. Essentially, it often happens when I use Bludgeon against Barricade. One of my attacks stuns him, so I charge in to do some damage while he's incapacitated. I then see an 'evade' message, and he proceeds to counter-attack me. When he 'evades' he breaks the stun, regardless of how long was left on the stun timer, essentially turning my advantage into a disadvantage.
It seems counter-intuitive that a bot is able to 'evade' while stunned, and this has affected me numerous times.
Maybe someone from Kabam can comment as to whether this is a bug, or is working as intended? If it is a bug, can it please be added to the known bug list?
Thank you.

There almost seems to be a delay in the activation of the special that the bot doesn't do anything and my swings go right through them with no effect. I notice this most often when fighting against VM1 Prime and Barricade.
We'll have the team investigate the situation, but don't add anything to the known bugs list until we can confirm that it is indeed happening and start to work on it.
For instance I never fire ranged attacks at Arcee when she's stunned because it instantly ends the stun
It's weird that evade should override stun, but it definitely does in all instances
agree. i've seen this many times before when the AI bot is charging forward.. it will render your range skill useless (like 2-3 shots all missing the AI). And the enemy is not even swiping left or right just straight charging at you!
I don't even bother to charge at a stunned Barricade anymore, because I'm wary of his evade and counter-attack. It really makes the stun effect next to useless on bots with evade.
Is this working as intended, or should stun prevent the evade mechanic? Evade seems to be very powerful, as it allows them to avoid the attack, and eliminate the remaining stun duration.
Can some Kabam people try playing the game? Ramjet or Bludgeon versus Barricade is a great way to see the stun/evade combo in action. Once you confirm it for yourselves, maybe you can inform us that it's working as intended, or else fix it?

I’ve had the same with Arcee with a bot that shoots something in a special. She’s evaded Soundwave’s, Hot Rod’s, and Galvatron’s S2 after getting hit with the first attack.
I am facing this issue since day one. Arcee, Sideswipe, Barricade & both Bumblebees always evading my sp1& 2 in the middle whoever bot I use so I am always saving my sp until I got 3 bars to make sure they will not evade during the animation of sp3.
same here. I didn't think it was right but thought it is what it is...just like when I can clearly see my bot hitting the other bot but because they activate their sp, i guess it take precedent regardless of how late it is.
I hate fighting bumble in stage 1 of map 3 because of this. It's ridiculous. I'm putting him away only to have him evade in the middle of my sp and then to give me a sp of his own. It pretty much kills that bot for the rest of the AM.
