Round 1

 * Spirit Of Scorpion vs Robochicken vs Barbaric Response vs X-Terminator

Robochicken and Barbaric Response started by trying to flip Spirit Of Scorpion, but it responded by pushing Barbaric Response into the pit release. All four robots then got caught in the CPZ and Dead Metal got hold of Spirit Of Scorpion. X-Terminator then pushed Robochicken into the Dead Metal, flipping it over in the process. Spirit Of Scorpion then broke down. X-Terminator pitted Barbaric Response, but it were safe as Robochicken and Spirit Of Scorpion had both been immobilised previous. Sir Killalot pitted Robochicken, but then pulled it back out and put it on the Drop Zone, where a washing machine came crashing down on it.

Qualified: Barbaric Response & X-Terminator


 * Mega Hurts 2 vs Cedric Slammer vs Firestorm 4 vs Colossus

Firestorm 4 went for Cedric Slammer and flipped it over, then kept driving it around so that the self-righter came up and couldn't turn it back. Colossus opened the pit, but Firestorm 4 then flipped it over as well. Firestorm 4 then flipped Mega Hurts 2, causing the screen to break off. Sgt Bash nearly backed into the pit. Firestorm 4 pitted Mega Hurts 2 and then drove in itself. But Colossus and Cedric Slammer had both been immobilised previous, so Firestorm 4 and Mega hurts 2 went through.

Qualified: Mega Hurts 2 & Firestorm 4

Round 2

 * Barbaric Response vs Firestorm 4

Barbaric Response immediately opened the pit, then lifted Firestorm 4, but couldn't turn it over. Firestorm 4 then got Barbaric Response over, but it got back up. Refbot came in for a look, but Firestorm 4 flipped it over as well. Firestorm 4 then flipped Barbaric Response into the arena wall. Barbaric Response couldn't self-right. Refbot couldn't count them out, as it'd been flipped, so Firestorm 4 was given the win.

Winner: Firestorm 4


 * X-Terminator vs Mega Hurts 2

The fight started slowly, until X-Terminator pushed Mega Hurts 2 onto the flame pit, then ripped off the front of the screen with its axe. The two robots went into the CPZ; Growler zipped in and dragged Mega Hurts 2 out. Mega hurts 2 then got underneath X-Terminator and pushed it into the CPZ. X-Terminator got away, but got lifted up again. Mega Hurts 2 then got caught in a CPZ and Mr Psycho bought his hammer down on top of it. X-Terminator axed Mega Hurts 2 again as time ran out. The judges gave X-Terminator the win.

Winner: X-Terminator

Final
Firestorm 4 vs X-Terminator

Both robots got off to a slow start. X-Terminator opened the pit, then got under Firestorm 4. Both robots got mugged by Shunt in the CPZ; they both escaped, but both nearly pitted themselves. Firestorm 4 then charged at the side of X-Terminator and rolled it over into the arena wall. Shunt came in again, but Firestorm 4 just flipped Shunt over too. Shunt recovered and chased Firestorm 4 away, as Refbot counted X-Terminator out.

Winner: Firestorm 4
