Round 1

 * Colossus vs Bigger Brother vs U.R.O. vs Typhoon 2

Bigger Brother immediately pushed Colossus onto the pit release, then flipped it into the CPZ. U.R.O. lost a bit of side armour. Typhoon 2 wasn't spinning either. Refbot counted Colossus out. Bigger Brother flipped Typhoon 2 over, but U.R.O. was immobilised first, so Refbot counted it out. Bigger Brother righted Colossus, but it'd been counted out already. In the end, Colossus backed into the pit and Sir Killalot put U.R.O. in on top.

Qualified: Bigger Brother & Typhoon 2


 * Disconstructor vs Xenomorph vs Hammerhead 2 vs Iron Awe 2.1

The fight started with Iron Awe 2.1 and Disconstructor chasing Refbot into the CPZ. Iron Awe 2.1 flipped Hammerhead 2, who landed on top of Xenomorph. Iron Awe 2.1 flipped Xenomorph over. Disconstructor hit the pit button, but then drove straight in, putting it out. The rest of the fight was pretty uneventful, with Iron Awe 2.1 flipping and axing Hammerhead 2 and Xenomorph numerous times. Sir Killalot intervened, but his eyes fell out. Time ran out and the judges voted Xenomorph out.

Qualified: Hammerhead 2 & Iron Awe 2.1

Round 2

 * Bigger Brother vs Iron Awe 2.1

Bigger Brother started stronger, and flipped Iron Awe 2.1, but then flipped it back over. This proved to be a big mistake when Iron Awe 2.1 got a lucky flip in on Bigger Brother and the seeded machine went out of the arena.

Winner: Iron Awe 2.1


 * Typhoon 2 vs Hammerhead 2

Typhoon 2 was now spinning properly. The two robots danced around the arena for a bit before Typhoon 2 slammed Hammerhead 2, deflecting it away. Another hit buckled the front of Hammerhead 2 and a small piece of armour came off. Typhoon 2 hit it again, and an entire panel came off the front of Hammerhead 2. The Dutch machine was dead. Refbot counted Hammerhead 2 out and Shunt put it on the floor flipper. It flew a distance; more panels came off when it came down. Matilda then put it on the Drop Zone, where some railway track came down on it. Matilda finally pitted Hammerhead 2.

Winner: Typhoon 2

Final
Iron Awe 2.1 vs Typhoon 2

Typhoon 2 span up to full speed immediately. Iron Awe 2.1 came in for an attack, but was spun away. Another slam caused the front flipper on Iron Awe 2.1 to buckle. The flipper was now destroyed and CO2 came out the front. Another couple of slams and Iron Awe 2.1 was dead. Refbot counted it out and Sir Killalot put it on the Drop Zone, where a gas cooker came crashing down on it.

Winner: Raging Knightmare

Special Event
Between Round 1 and Round 2 of each heat (except Heat I), a 'Special Event' was shown. For Heat O, it was a World Championship Qualifier between three Dutch robots: Gravity, Scraptosaur and Tough As Nails.

Winner: Tough As Nails
