Eliminators
S.M.I.D.S.Y. immediately charged at Overkill GTI, who's front wedge dug into the arena floor and ripped off a piece of it. Overkill GTI flipped S.M.I.D.S.Y., but Panic Attack lifted it up and carried it around. S.M.I.D.S.Y. got flipped again before Panic Attack pinned Overkill GTI onto the arena wall. It got away, but once of its tyres got a puncture. Panic Attack and S.M.I.D.S.Y. then pushed Overkill GTI around before attacking each other. Cease was called and the judges put Overkill GTI out.

All three robots charged at each other straight away, with Saw Point driving over Oblivion 2 three times. Aggrobot 2 pushed Saw Point away. Oblivion 2 seemed immobilised straight away. the House Robots came in; Sir Killalot grabbed Oblivion 2's axe, but didn't cut it off. Sir Killalot spun Oblivion 2 around, before teaming up with the other House Robots to pit Oblivion 2.

Semi-Finals
Panic Attack immediately put Saw Point on it's side before picking it up and pushing it into the arena wall. Panic Attack then piggypacked Saw Point around the arena. It finally let Saw Point go, but it was immobilised. The House Robots came in, Dead Metal slicing into one of Saw Point's wheels. Sir Killalot picked Saw Point up, but Panic Attack tried unsuccessfully to lift Killalot up, ending up lifting itself off the ground. Killalot finally pitted Saw Point.

Winner: Panic Attack

S.M.I.D.S.Y. immediatly pushed the seeded Aggrobot 2 into the arena wall. A blast of flame from the arena side walls set fire to the top of S.M.I.D.S.Y.. But it rcovered and pushed Aggrobot 2 across the arena floor. Aggrobot 2 finally stopped and the House Robots came in for the kill. Sgt Bash and Sir Killalot both clawed Aggrobot 2, Killalot ripping some sort of stuffing out of the back. Aggrobot 2 was on the floor flipper, but Dead Metal pushed it off, before Sir Killalot picked it up and spun it round.
 * Aggrobot 2 vs S.M.I.D.S.Y.

Winner: S.M.I.D.S.Y.

Final
At first, S.M.I.D.S.Y. seemed to be too fast for Panic Attack, slamming the former champs, but not using the jaws. Panic Attack couldn't pick S.M.I.D.S.Y. up either until it got its forks into one of S.M.I.D.S.Y.'s wheel arches and dragged it around the arena. S.M.I.D.S.Y. finally broke free, but Panic Attack got underneath it again and dropped it in the pit.
