Round 1
This was a great battle, even though it had a very slow start. Prizephita Mk 2 flipped Wheelosaurus twice while Wheely Big Cheese went straight for Sir Killalot, but Wheelosaurus is unimmobilisable. Wheely Big Cheese then pushed Prizephita Mk 2 into the wall before trying to flip it. Wheelosaurus seemed to have control problems while Wheely Big Cheese pushed Prizephita Mk 2 into Sir Killalot. Wheely Big Cheese then got under Sir Killalot and immobilised the house robot, but did not flip it, while it was attacked by Dead Metal. The pit opened and all three robots ended up in it. Although Wheely Big Cheese went in first, the judge's ruled that Prizephita Mk 2 was out.

Maverick drove straight into Killertron, while Suicidal Tendencies 2 pushed Killertron, which had trouble aiming its axe correctly.

Wheelosaurus did not move so Suicidal Tendencies 2 attacked, taking a spike off Wheelosaurus' wheel. Suicidal Tendencies 2 then used its axe to puncture Wheelosaurus' petrol tank. As Wheelosaurus was leaking petrol, Suicidal Tendencies 2 pushed it over the flame pit.

Final
Before this fight, Wheely Big Cheese had had some gearbox problems. Suicidal Tendencies 2 went on the attack immediately, using its axe and lifting Wheely Big Cheese, before pushing it into Dead Metal. Wheely Big Cheese escaped but could not get under Suicidal Tendencies 2's low ground clearance. Wheely Big Cheese then drove halfway over the open pit, but managed to escape twice. Meanwhile, Suicidal Tendencies 2's left track was immobilised, and it was left floundering by the pit. Wheely Big Cheese drove at it and went into the pit itself. The Suicidal Tendencies 2 team thought they had won, but the judges took the controversial view that Suicidal Tendencies 2 had been immobilised.
