Time to find out who will fill the last two remaining spots in the Grand Finals!

Firestorm 3 (6) vs The Alien
House Robots: Dead Metal and Shunt

The Alien gets the spinning weapon up and running and moves away trying to avoid the flipper on Firestorm 3. It strikes with the hammers but Firestorm finds a way to get under the Alien and overturns it, only to have the rookie use the self-riding mechanism it was installed with. Firestorm avoids the hammers again and overturns The Alien again and pushes it into the angle grinder in hopes of damaging the weapon. The Alien tries to self-ride but something seems to be wrong with the mechanism now and it's not working properly. Firestorm gets under The Alien once more and flips it over the wall and OoTA.

Winner: Firestorm 3

Bigger Brother vs Diotoir (31)
House Robots: Sgt. Bash and Sir Killalot

The faster Bigger Brother runs into Diotoir but gets overturned by the bucket scoop, only to flip back over and tries to get under. Diotoir desperately tries to avoid the flipping arm of BB but sure enough, the Watts family robot was too quick for it and gets right under and overturns Diotoir, with the fur bot unable to get back over. Refbot counts it out while BB pushes it onto the flame pit and sets the fur ablaze to the delight of the fans. Bigger Brother looks to try and flip Diotoir OoTA but instead activates the pit and pushes the burning Irish bot in.

Winner: Bigger Brother

Stinger (3) vs S3
House Robots: Sgt. Bash and Sir Killalot

Stinger waits for S3 to get close to it and thwacks one of it's tires with little damage if any. S3 strikes it with the spinning wheel and strikes the bludgeoning weapon, then one of the exposed tires several times. Stinger tries striking with the tail some more but S3 hits it again and pushes it into the pit release, nailing the gears in Stinger's control system and damaging it's movement. Stinger begins to have difficulty controlling itself trying to thwack S3 again but gets too close to Sir Killalot and gets picked up by the House Robot's jaws and over to Sgt. Bash who roasts it before getting dropped to the ground and seems to be dead. Refbot looks to try and count Stinger out only to fall into the pit humorously. Since Refbot is in the pit and cannot count Stinger out, S3 hits it once more and CEASE is called. S3 still goes through nonetheless.

Winner: S3 (tried to make it seem somewhat different from the actual fight)

Wolverine vs Pussycat (2)
House Robots: Dead Metal and Shunt

Wolverine is the faster robot here as it rams Pussycat into the wall, but the 2nd seeds retaliate with a blow from the saw nailing the scoop weapon and causing a scratch on while it takes a ride on the back of Wolverine. The rookie bot tries to get rid of the pyramid shaped vets and shove it into one of the CPZs, only to have Pussycat attack it from behind doing slight damage to the armor. Wolverine runs into the pit release and goes on the attack again shoving Pussycat into the wall and looks to try and shove it into the pit. Once it gets Pussycat near the edge Wolverine tries to shove it in, but Pussycat dodges and Wolverine drives too close to the edge and quickly tries to move away but because it was too close in, Wolverine slowly falls right in.

Winner: Pussycat

Firestorm 3 (6) vs Bigger Brother
House Robots: Matilda and Dead Metal

As both robots begin towards the center, Bigger Brother tries to flip Firestorm over, nearly getting under it, but Graham Bone uses his prowess driving to get away and shove BB into the wall. Firestorm attempts to get under BB but the robot is tougher than it looks and gets away, accidentally getting too close to Matilda's CPZ and nearly struck by the house robot. Firestorm runs into BB again and nearly gets under it as it pushes it over the flame pit. Bigger Brother turns around and gets under Firestorm, overturning it with a powerful flip but Firestorm flips itself right back over and gets under Bigger Brother, flipping it like it flipped it, only to have BB self-ride as well. Firestorm gets under it again and rams Bigger Brother into the pit release trigger, then flips it onto the wall. Somehow, Bigger Brother flips itself back onto it's wheel, since it's shape wouldn't let BB to stay on it's side like some of Firestorm's other opponents. Firestorm tries shoving it near the pit but Bigger Brother tries fighting back and overturns Firestorm again as Firestorm flips back over. Firestorm gets under BB one more time and flips it, this time Bigger Brother is flipped into the nearby open pit.

Grand Finalist 3: Firestorm 3

S3 vs Pussycat (2)
House Robots: Matilda and Sir Killalot

Pussycat falls over as it runs to S3, attempting to slice into the “hammerhead shark” like bot. S3 ends up striking first however and does a bit of damage to the pyramid armor of Pussycat, who retaliates with a shot from it's own blade and cuts the armor up as well. S3 attacks the backside of Pussycat, leaving a few scrapes under it while the seeded machine tries to get around and attack S3 again. S3 strikes one of Pussycat's tires and breaks it off while Pussycat scratches the front of the silver robot, with both bots driving a bit too close to Sir Killalot. Said House Robot nearly grabs S3 but it backs away and strikes the chassis of Pussycat again, breaking something off or so it would appear. S3 backs itself into the angle grinder by mistake and Pussycat takes advantage by nailing it again, though it's movement seems a bit off-center due to the attacks from S3, who actually takes off a second wheel before time runs out. The judges make their decision...

Grand Finalist 4: S3
