The Black Beast vs Twister
The battle started with Twister taking a moment to spin up to speed, whilst The Black Beast ran for the pit release bumper, but changed its mind, and instead met Twister head on, ripping some of the decoration from the front of Black Beast. Twister collided with Black Beast a few more times, ripping yet more of the decoration free, and this seemed to kill The Black Beast outright. With its last seconds of life, The Black Beast ran into Shunt's CPZ, where the House Robot attacked it, and Twister caused more damage. Mr Psycho, newly introduced for this series of the Dutch Battles, hammered the top of the broken Black Beast, before Shunt axed the top of Black Beast, and dragged it into the centre of the arena, where Refbot counted it out. Mr Psycho then picked up Black Beast, and dragged it around the arena, before allowing Shunt to push Black Beast onto the floor flipper. After it was flipped, Shunt pushed Black Beast onto the Drop Zone, where it had a cooker dropped onto it, but this didn't seem to hurt Black Beast greatly. In celebration, the Twister team did a dance around their cabin. Cease was called, and Twister was the victor.
 * Winner: Twister

Philliper 2 vs Shapeshifter
Philliper 2 immediately attacked Shapeshifter with its flipper, turning it over with a single flip. The House Robots immediately attacked, Sir Killalot clamped his claw onto the exposed underside of Shapeshifter. Sergeant Bash took its turn at attacking, before Shapeshifter was counted out by the Refbot. Sir Killalot then dragged Shapeshifter onto the floor flipper, and it was thrown towards the arena centre. Sir Killalot then reversed into Shapeshifter, pushing it into the pit.
 * Winner:Philliper 2

Beaverbot vs Impact
Beaverbot span up to speed, whilst Impact dodged round it, until eventually it collided with Beaverbot, ripping a small shred of armour from the front of Impact. Impact then pressed the pit release, and then pushed Beaverbot into the CPZ, where Shunt attacked with his axe, causing a large puncture wound in the shell of Beaverbot. These blows knocked Beaverbot out, and in celebration, Impact set the fur covering its weapon on fire by hanging it over the flame pit. Impact then returned to Beaverbot and shoved it towards, and into, the pit.
 * Winner: Impact

Tartarus vs Trazmaniac
"Burn baby burn, Disco Inferno!"

- Eric Corton, as Tartarus burns

Trazmaniac started by trying to bulldoze Tartarus, but they failed to succeed in any pushing attempts. Despite this, Tartarus broke down very quickly, and, as a result, Trazmaniac came in to do damage with its primary weapon. Despite several blows, it succeeded in nothing more than scratching the paintwork, but nevertheless Refbot came in to count the immobile Tartarus out. Trazmaniac pushed Tartarus onto the flame pit. Trazmaniac then pushed the pit release bumper, and Shunt slowly pushed Tartarus towards the pit, before Trazmaniac got in the way, pushing Tartarus from Shunt's grip. In retribution, Sergeant Bash chased Trazmaniac, but didn't cause any damage, just scorching Trazmaniac a little. Shunt eventually resumed pushing Tartarus, pitting it and ending its time in the Dutch Wars.
 * Winner: Trazmaniac

Impact vs Twister
Twister was slow off the mark, taking time to spin up its weapon, allowing Impact to attack with its weapon. Impact collided with Twister again, this time sending it scuttling away as its spinning weapon brushed the floor of the arena. Twister spun away, and collided with Impact, ripping a corner off the machine. Impact seemed heavily hurt by this collision, and was set upon by Twister, who caused more damage to the top, and the fluffy coverings on the weapon of Impact caught fire once more. Buckled and broken, Impact was dead, allowing Refbot to come in and count out Impact, eliminating it from the competition. Dead Metal grabbed Impact, and cut into the wheels with its cutting saw. Impact was pushed onto the flipper, and thrown into the air, to the delight of the team. After this, Matilda repeatedly attacked Impact with her flywheel, utterly destroying it. Dead Metal put the remains on the flame pit, and left them to burn. Cease was called, and the Twister team did their victory dance once more.
 * Winner:Twister

Philliper 2 vs Trazmaniac
Philliper 2 began the battle by attacking Trazmaniac from behind, and using its rear flipper to try and topple its opponent. The first fire with the weapon missed, but the second and third attempts flicked Trazmaniac into the air, but both times it landed the right way up. The fourth attempt was more successful, and Trazmaniac was flipped. Trazmaniac fought back, pushing Philliper onto the flame pit, but Philliper came back, and nearly flipped Trazmaniac again. Trazmaniac pushed again, and speared the shell with its drill weapon. Philliper used its lifter again, to twice flip Trazmaniac. Cease was called, and the judges were called upon to make a decision, which went in favour of Philliper.
 * Winner: Philliper 2

Philliper 2 vs Twister
Philliper started the heat final by colliding with Twister, before returning for another blow, and overturning Twister with its flipping weapon. Philliper then used its claw weapon for the first time in the heat to attack the wheels of Twister, whilst the Refbot counted Twister out. Sir Killalot came in and lifted Twister into the air, before dropping it into the pit, securing a quick victory for Philliper 2.
