Round 1
Krab Bot had the faster start and pushed Philipper 2 into the side grinders. It tried to get into a good position to attack, but Philipper turned and flipped Krab Bot up and onto the arena wall. It then tried to use its crushing tail on Krab Bot, but was unable to, and Krab Bot was eventually freed by Refbot. Krab Bot grabbed Philipper again and pushed it into a CPZ, whereby both Growler and Shunt attacked both robots. Philipper flipped Krab Bot again, but when it tried to repeat this, it missed, which allowed Krab Bot to get one of its pincers into Philipper's flipper mechanism. Growler seperated the two machines and held Krab Bot over the flame pit. Krab Bot escaped and attacked Philipper from behind, allowing the Belgian robot to use its crusher on its adversary's wheel. Time ran out, and the judges decided to put Philipper through.

Winner: Philipper

Both robots had a very cautious start, simply getting their weapons up to speed and avoiding each other. PulverizeR got the first hit, knocking Twister off the ground. PulverizeR then drove at Twister, but overturned itself. It then activated the pit, then drove around it a few times, trying to lure Twister in. When this didn't work, it drove around the back of Twister and hit it again, the force of the blow being enough to knock Twister right onto its back. PulverizeR then tried to push its beaten opponent into the pit, but Twister helped it out by pulling itself in using its blade.

Winner: PulverizeR

This was the third time the two machines had fought each other, with the score between them being one each. Lizzard got into the centre of the arena and spun, but its "swan tail" was unable to cause any damage to Bamm Bamm, who tried to retaliate with its axe. After three misses and a moment where both robots drove over the flame pit, Bamm Bamm finally hit Lizzard's wheel opening. It then pushed it into Shunt's CPZ, who hit its top covering, causing some damage. Lizzard seemed to be immobilised after this attack, and was counted out. Bamm Bamm then pushed Lizzard into Dead Metal, who sawed through its armour and placed it on the arena flipper. After being thrown, Lizzard was pushed onto the drop zone, where it was hit with the same barrels previously used in the Pinball Trial of the UK series. Shunt finally put Lizzard out of its misery by pushing it down the pit.

Winner: Bamm Bamm

At first, the two robots simply drove around, trying to get into a good position to attack. Meshuggah eventually struck first, hitting Scrap-2-Saur over onto its back using its flywheel. Meshuggah hit Scrap-2-Saur again, whereby it finally self-righted into Meshuggah's flywheel. Meshuggah then struck Scap-2-Saur again, knocking it up but not over, which allowed Scrap-2-Saur to flip Meshuggah twice. Scrap-2-Saur then got underneath Meshuggah and flipped it onto its disc, which bounced it away. After a bit of dodging, the two robots struck each other head on, and it became apparant that Scrap-2-Saur's flipper panel had been damaged. The two robots came head-to-head again, and this time Meshuggah broke a panel off of its opponent, as well as causing a crack in its chassis. After losing a few more panels, Scrap-2-Saur drove across the arena and pit the pit release bumper. It was most unfortunate for Meshuggah that the pit opened the exact moment it was driving over it.
