Robot Wars: The Third Wars/Middleweight Melee

The Middleweight Melee was one of the Special Events that took place during the Third Wars. It was a single battle between five middleweight robots, all weighing less than 54kg.

Competing Robots

 * Tentomushi
 * Hard Cheese
 * Grinder
 * A-Kill
 * Ripper's Revenge

Tentomushi vs Hard Cheese vs Grinder vs A-Kill vs Ripper's Revenge
Reigning middleweight champion Hard Cheese started by attacking Ripper's Revenge with its axe, before it was attacked and covered up by Tentomushi. Meanwhile, A-Kill pushed Grinder into Shunt, and Grinder sustained heavy damage from Shunt's axe. Tentomushi covered up Ripper's Revenge while the immobilised Hard Cheese was picked up by Sir Killalot. Tentomushi then had one if its antennae cut off by the chainsaw of Matilda. As Sir Killalot pushed away the immobilised Grinder, Ripper's Revenge was flipped over by an arena spike and was out of the battle. Tentomushi then started to fight the house robots and covered up Shunt, blocking the radio signal so that Shunt could no longer move. Tentomushi and A-Kill were the only survivors at the end of the battle and the judges declared a draw between the two robots.

Joint Winners: Tentomushi & A-Kill

The two robots would later take part in a rematch during the International League Championship.
