Eliminators
After all of the robots circled eachother, Hypno-Disk immidiately started to deal out damage, crumpling the rear of The Predator. Hypno-Disk continued to deal out damage. Raizer Blade then charged at Hypno-Disk's side and using it's lifting arm almost flipped the second seed. Not long after this brave attempt both Raizer Blade and The Predator seemed to be immobilised. Hypno-Disk seeing this chance rammed into the rear of The Predator, scattering a few components, including the battery, across the arena floor.

Mid-way through the battle V-Max managed to get in underneath Hypno-Disk and slam him into the arena wall, but to no avail. After this, V-Max was immobilised and left to the house robots and flipped by the arena flipper.
