Round 1

 * King B Powerworks vs Hassocks Hog 2 vs Dantomkia vs Rick

Dantomkia quickly got underneath Hassocks Hog 2 and flipped it over next to the flame pit. Dantomkia then flipped over Rick and pushed it towards the arena wall before attempting to throw it out of the arena, but the attempt was unsuccessful. Dantomkia tried again and was again unsuccessful, before flipping over King B Powerworks. Meanwhile, Hassocks Hog 2 was burning on the flame pit and was counted out of the battle. Dantomkia continued to attack its remaining opponents, flipping King B Powerworks again and attempting once again to flip Rick out of the arena. The attempt was unsuccessful, but Rick was left upside-down and unable to self-right. It was able to move around upside-down though, and flipped Dantomkia, who self-righted instantaneously. As Hassocks Hog 2 was dropped out of the arena by Mr. Psycho, Dantomkia pushed Rick into the arena wall and King B Powerworks came in to help attack Rick before cease was called. Rick was eliminated along with the immobilised Hassocks Hog 2 on a split judges' decision.

Qualified: King B Powerworks & Dantomkia


 * IG-88 vs Scorpion vs Tomohawk vs The Stag

IG-88 immediately attacked Tomohawk, its spinning axe sending Tomohawk slightly into the air on impact. After two or three attacks by IG-88, Tomohawk stopped moving and was out of the battle. Meanwhile, Scorpion and The Stag were locked in battle until The Stag drove into IG-88's spinning axe and was sent into the air. The Stag then opened the pit, before coming under attack from IG-88 and taking damage. The Stag then started to push IG-88 across the arena but IG-88 escaped and began to chase The Stag, which backed away and drove into the pit in the process. Meanwhile, Tomohawk was counted out and attacked by the house robots. With both robots now through to the next round, IG-88 launched an attack on Scorpion and sent a panel flying off Scorpion's bodywork, exposing its batteries. To end the battle, Tomohawk was placed on the drop zone and an ocean buoy was dropped onto it, knocking off one of its armour panels.

Qualified: IG-88 & Scorpion
