Eliminators
Judge Shred 2 vs Millenium Bug vs X-Terminator

X-Terminator attacked Judge Shred immediately, but failed to land a blow. It then rammed and axed Judge Shred, causing no damage though. X-Terminator pursued the judge, who used its own axe to defend itself. X-Terminator rammed Judge Shred into the side wall, then went on to nudge Millenium Bug. X-Terminator retreated, then Judge Shred lifted some unattached protection off one of the bug's legs. X-terminator then hacked another off with its axe, then retrated and dragged another one off. Judge Shred hit a leg on Millenium Bug with its axe, then was axed itself by X-terminator. X-Terminator backed away from Judge Shred, then darted over a flame jet and buffeted Judge Shred, then the two rammed each other. X-terminator hammered Jugde Shred twice, both blows doing no damage at all. Judge Shred hacked at X-Terminator with its axe, while the latter pounded it into a side wall. X-Terminator backed away from Judge Shred to knock off another unattached leg panel. After this, Millenium Bug began smoking, then Judge Shred nudged the walker from behind. X-Terminator battered into Millenium Bug at full speed, the impact shaking off another leg panel. X-terminator rammed it again, doing no visble damage this time. At this point the spinner on the back of Millenium Bug stopped, as X-terminator rammed and axed it again. Judge Shred put the bug finally out of its misery as it lifted on its back end. Millenium bug's legs flailed aimlessly as Dead Metal closed in. Meanwhile, X-Terminator and Judge Shred battled each other over a flame jet, as the judge got its lifter at the front to work. Dead Metal sliced into one of the squirming legs of the bug, causing sparks to fly. Millenium Bug was dropped on its back, then sliced again by Dead Metal. It was placed on the floor flipper, thrown, landed the right way up but bounced off its legs and onto its back again. Millenium bug was sawed by Dead Metal again, as cease was called.

Eliminated: Millenium bug

Behemoth vs Rambot vs Arnold A. Terminegger Arnold A. Terminegger sped out to ram Behemoth's front scoop, then was pursued by it. Behemoth attempted a flip, but missed, then Arnold rammed it side-on and lifted the seeded machine up. Behemoth fired the scoop to shake it loose, but to no avail. Arnold spun it around, trying to turn it over, when Rambot rammed the two. Still on stuck on Arnold's lifter, Behemoth was momentarily scorched over a flame jet and then finally Arnold let it down. Rambot sped over the scoop of Behemoth, so quick that Behemoth missed with its lifter. Rambot reversed into the back of Behemoth, while the yellow and black robot turned Arnold on its side. Arnold bounced back down, but Behemoth was quick to flip it again. with some help from Rambot, Arnold was soon back on its wheels, but the former pushed it towards the CPZ, Behemoth followed eagerly. Arnold escaped from the wedge of Rambot, therefore Rambot drove into the CPZ itself. It escaped, but then spun madly and drove back in. Rambot escaped easily, slipping underneath Sgt Bash. Rambot began shovelling Arnold again, when Behemoth flipped the latter on its side again. Arnold used the self-righting wings to get back up, when Rambot was attacked by Behemoth. Behemoth turned Rambot over, but being invertible, Rambot had nothing to worry about. Behemoth flipped it back the right way up, then Rambot spun away. Behemoth flipped arnold yet again, Arnold self-righted using the wings. Behemoth pursued Rambot, then pushed Arnold back into the clutches of Dead Metal, but the latter escaped before he could close the claws. Rambot buffeted Arnold again, then Behemoth tried to flip it against the side wall, but couldn't as Rambot slammed into the two. Behemoth then lifted Rambot and Arnold at the same time, dropping them after a while. Rambot chased Behemoth, only to be turned on its back again. Rambot pushed Behemoth side-on, then powered Arnold into the side wall. Rambot appeared to be pinned for a short while, then spun away. Behemoth lifted Arnold up, but couldn't get it over this time. Arnold again lifted Behemoth up, but Behemoth fell off the lifter this time. In the dying seconds, RAmbot spun aimlessly as cease was called. The judges decided to eliminated Rambot, putting Behemoth and Arnold A. Terminegger through. Eliminated: Rambot
