Pullverizer vs RCC
Pullverizer waited for a second off the start and RCC ran straight into the disc. This first contact appeared to immobilize RCC, who was counted out by Refbot and pounced on by Sir Killalot, who dumped RCC onto the flipper and it landed on its back. Killalot attacked RCC further before pitting it.
 * Winner:Arena Killer

Alien Destructor vs Scraptosaur
Alien Destructor and Scraptosaur spun past each other a couple of times, not making contact. Alien Destructor was then set upon by the house robots, but was eventually freed, and pushed Scraptosaur against the angel grinder. Eventually Scraptosaur was freed, and Alien Destructor pushed the pit released button. Time ran out and the judges were called upon to make a decision, which went in favour of Alien Destructor
 * Winner: Alien Destructor

Twisted Metal vs Pyramid of Chaos
Off the start, Twisted Metal attacked Pyramid of Chaos, who's sword broke, and armour was buckled by the vastly more potent Twisted Metal. After a few more attacks by Twisted Metal, Refbot finished the countout, Pyramid of Chaos was attacked by Sir Killalot, thrown onto the floor flipprer,


 * Winner: Twisted Metal

Pyramid of Chaos vs Scraptosaur vs RCC
Prior to the battle, RCC was forced to retire due to electrical problems. The other two robots took to the arena, and Scraptosaur attacked Pyramid of Chaos immediately, before running for the pit relase. Pyramid of Chaos became immobilized by the angle grinders, and was counted out by Refbot, then set upon by Shunt and Matilda, who's flywheel desroyed the underside of Pyramid of Chaos, who was left to burn on the flamepit, before bing toppled over by Shunt. As one last insult to injury, Pyramid of Chaos was flipped, and dumped in the pit.
 * Winner: Scraptosaur

Alien Destructor vs Twisted Metal
Twister Metal started off by charging at Alien Destructor, causing a small amount of damage. The two robots then collided again, this time Twisted Metal ripped a shred of the tail from Alien Destructor. Over the next couple of hits, more shreds of the tail were torn by Twisted Metal, and another hit ripped off some side decoations. The two robots pushed against each other, until Killalot ripped the rest of the tail off outright. Late on, Twisted Metal hit the pit release, trying to catch out Alien Destructor who was resting on the pit, but Alien Destructor got away in time, but did not survive the resulting judge's decision.
 * Winner: Twisted Metal

Pullverizer vs Scraptosaur
Immediately, Pullverizer attacked Scraptosaur, and, with the full force of the disc and overturned Scraptosaur, who couldn't self-right, and was counted out, and attacked by the house robots, especially Matilda's flywheel, which righted Scraptosaur, but the robot was already too badly damaged
 * Winner: Pullverizer

Pullverizer vs Twisted Metal
Pullverizer was the first to land an attack with the disc, but a blow to its own disc seemed to cause it control problems, and it lost drive on one side. Twisted Metal continued to attack, until Pullverizer died completetly, at which point, Killalot dragged it into the center of the arena, and Dead Metal, Killalot and Twisted Metal attacked it, knocking off a wheel, and causing damage to the shell.
 * Winner: Twisted Metal
