Hypno-Disc (1) vs Supernova (9)
House Robots: Matilda and Shunt

3...2...1...ACTIVATE! The Series semi finals have begun and both robots have begun to fire their flywheels up. The champs draw first blood and slam into Supernova first, nailing one of the tires which was in fact one of Team Trinity's fears, and does quite a bit of damage to said wheel. Supernova counters with a mighty blow from it's own disc, followed by another, the latter blow leaving a very noticeable gash in the side of Hypno-Disc's armor. Hypno-Disc slams into the 9th seed again and does some damage to their armor as Supernova tries to keep up with the champs and backs away momentarily. Shunt notices both bots coming near the CPZ and tries to attack; Hypno-Disc escapes but Supernova isn't as lucky and gets nailed with the axe. Their disc seems to be slowing down as Hypno-Disc nails them again, slamming both robots into the arena wall, nearly destroying it! The fight ends with both bots mobile and the judges converse as to who will go through. The champs win them over with the aggression they've shown and Hypno-Disc is moving on.

Winner: Hypno-Disc

Behemoth vs Corkscrew
House Robots: Mr. Psycho and Growler

Corkscrew immediately begins to spin with vigor, causing Behemoth to approach it very cautiously. As the spinner is obviously not easy to control, Corkscrew moves around the arena like crazy before finally getting a blow in on Behemoth and looked as if it broke something off the bulldozer like robot. Behemoth pushes forward with it's large bulldozer scoop and slams into Corkscrew, lifting it's scoop to apparently try and overturn the spinner, to little effect. Corkscrew attacks again and ricochets into the angle grinder. They continue to spin away...but something seems to be wrong; Corkscrew is spinning, but it's not moving moving...Behemoth cautiously moves near the spinning robot, having taken quite a bit of damage already and not wanting to try and risk getting Corkscrew moving again, but they aren't moving forward or backwards. Refbot checks on them and as it begins to count Corkscrew out, it's rotation is beginning to slow down as well, seemingly immobile. After it's counted out, Mr. Psycho moves in and delivers a blow from the huge hammer on top of the playful cork decoration...Behemoth is moving on, but with a crooked and apparently broken scoop that will need to be repaired before the next round.

Winner: Behemoth

Razer (5) vs Kat 3
House Robots: Sir Killalot and Sgt. Bash

Kat 3 swerves around, wanting to avoid Razer's deadly crushing beak, and fires it's axe into the chassis of the former world champions. Razer backs into Kat 3 in order to slam them into the angle grinder, then tries to turn around to get a grip on the orange robot. Razer scoops Kat 3 up into it's grip and begins to bite down into the armor while Kat 3 feebly tries to fight away and fires it's axe. Razer pushes Kat 3 near Sir Killalot in hopes that the house robot will pierce it's jaws into Kat 3 and sure enough that's exactly what happens as the mighty Killalot lifts Team KaterKiller's robot off the ground and throws it around for a moment and throws it down onto the arena floor while Razer activates the pit release. Kat 3 seems to have stopped working now as Razer slams into it once again and pushes it all the way into the opened pit.

Winner: Razer

Supernova (9) vs Corkscrew vs Kat 3
House Robots: Dead Metal and Growler

Kat 3 backs away from both robots as they spin up; Supernova spins it's flywheel and looks to tap at Corkscrew, who currently is only spinning at half speed. Supernova takes the opportunity to land a lucky blow in before Corkscrew gets up to full speed and goes after Kat 3, still trying to keep it's distance. Kat 3 backs into both bots and ends up taking some heavy damage from both weapons, and the fact that Razer's damage is still present also causes a problem. Kat 3 did get a lucky blow with it's axe into Supernova's armor, but one more nasty blow from Corkscrew ends up sealing Kat 3's fate and stops it in it's tracks. However, while Corkscrew was attacking Kat, Supernova slammed into the pit release and when Corkscrew attacked Kat 3, it bounced away and fell into the descending pit! With Corkscrew down into the pit and the Refbot counting Kat 3 out, Supernova gets the nod to return to the tournament, but not before Growler bites into Kat 3's axe.

Winner: Supernova

Hypno-Disc (1) vs Behemoth
House Robots: Dead Metal and Mr. Psycho

Behemoth has repaired the damage they took from Corkscrew but they will have a big mountain to climb in this fight. Hypno-Disc gets spinning and charges to Behemoth, who actually surprises the champ by drawing first blood by overturning them onto their back. Hypno-Disc self-rides and lands a blow on the back of Behemoth, doing a bit of damage, then attacking the scoop weapon. Behemoth tries to overturn them again, but Hypno-Disc lands another blow and buckles their scoop. Behemoth uses their axe weapon but another blow makes Behemoth stop in it's tracks for the moment. Refbot takes a quick look to see if they are out but Behemoth does indeed move again just before the count begins. However, another blow from the deadly flywheel and Behemoth stops again, for good this time. Refbot counts them out and Mr. Psycho picks them up with his mighty claw and parades around the arena with them before dropping them off in the pit that Hypno-Disc activated, ending Behemoth's greatest run in quite some time.

Grand Finalist 1: Hypno-Disc

Razer (5) vs Supernova (9)
House Robots: Matilda and Shunt

Supernova charges around Razer with the spinning disc up and running, immediately attacking the chassis of the experienced veterans. Razer counters by slamming into the side of Supernova and begins to slowly bite down into the armor, while pushing them into the angle grinder. Razer tries to attack the front of Supernova but this proved to be a bad move; Supernova's disc slowly cuts into the front of Razer as they try to bite down, and in the process, apparently damages one of the small tires of the well experienced machine. Razer backs away and attempts to bite down on one of Supernova's tires, failing to notice how close they are to the CPZ of Shunt and gets attacked by the axe from said house robot. Razer still bites into Supernova's chassis...but something has apparently gone wrong with the experienced Razer....they're beginning to smoke...they're still going but the smoke may cost them points as Supernova slams into them once more, though the disc seems to be only working at half speed. Razer is still moving until the end of the fight with both bots still moving. The judges make their decision and judging from the smoke coming from Razer they decide to give the match to Supernova in a big shocker.
