Round 1

 * Tornado vs Saw Point 2 vs Ewe 2 vs Devastator

Tornado started quickly and pushed Devastator across the arena, slamming it into the arena wall. Meanwhile, Ewe 2 tried to flip Saw Point 2 but struggled to get underneath. Having escaped from Mr. Psycho in one CPZ, Devastator was then pushed by Tornado into Matilda in another CPZ. Having still not managed to get underneath Saw Point 2, Ewe 2 activated the pit release button. Meanwhile, Tornado had pushed Devastator and Saw Point 2 into the CPZ where they were attacked by both house robots. Both robots escaped, but then Saw Point 2 appeared to stop moving near the pit and Ewe 2 slowly pushed it in. Then Ewe 2 and Tornado teamed up to push Devastator into the pit as well.

Qualified: Tornado & Ewe 2


 * Leveler 2 vs Tetanus Booster vs Barber-Ous 2'n a Bit vs Thunderpants

Prior to the battle, both of Thunderpants's drive belts had come off and so it never made it into the arena. In the battle itself, Barber-Ous 2'n a Bit launched an attack on Leveler 2, and then a second attack which turned Leveler 2 upside-down. Leveler 2 self-righted but Barber-Ous 2'n a Bit continued to attack and the force of its spinning drum flipped Leveler 2 over once again. However, after this attack Barber-Ous 2'n a Bit stopped moving and was counted out by Refbot, just as Tetanus Booster launched an attack on Leveler 2 which sent a panel flying off its opponent. Another attack by Tetanus Booster flipped Leveler 2 over once again and caused further damage, but Barber-Ous 2'n a Bit had now been counted out so the other two machines were through to the next round. Barber-Ous 2'n a Bit was sent flying by the arena flipper and pitted by Mr. Psycho before cease was called.

Qualified: Leveler 2 & Tetanus Booster

Bernard vs DTK vs Staglet vs Typhoon Cadet vs Alienator vs Cutlet vs Mammoth

DTK started very quickly and flipped Bernard over straight away, but Bernard self-righted. Several of the robots started to attack Mammoth the walkerbot and Staglet grabbed hold of Alienator and pushed it around the arena. Meanwhile, Typhoon Cadet was staying out of the way in an attempt to get up to full spinning speed. Alienator was released and activated the pit release button as DTK got underneath and flipped Staglet and then Cutlet, which seemed unable to self-right and was pushed into the pit by Mammoth. Meanwhile, DTK had also managed to flip Typhoon Cadet and pushed Staglet into the pit, before flipping Mammoth over onto its side. Alienator had stopped moving and Refbot began to count it out, but then it suddenly sprang to life and drove away before the count was finished. Typhoon Cadet was stranded upside-down, counted out and sent flying by the arena flipper, as Bernard, DTK and Alienator continued to battle. Mammoth was next to be counted out, and had a cooker dropped on it before it was pitted, along with Typhoon Cadet. Cease was called with three robots still mobile and the judges went for DTK and Bernard.
