Round 1
Firestorm II immediately flipped Scar over, but they were invertible. The Morgue seemed OK until Firestorm II flipped it into the arena wall. The Morgue was stuck; Killalot came in and held them over the flames. Firestorm II flipped Scar into the side wall. The Morgue came back to life, but it was too late.
 * Scar vs The Morgue vs Firestorm II
 * Qualified: Scar + Firestorm II

Diotoir had problems before the battle began: they had to take the top armour off for weight reasons. They lifter wasn't working either. In the battle, Ming II flipped Diotoir over immediately and Bolt From The Blue pushed them onto the flame pit. Starngely, Diotoir didn't catch fire until Sgt Bash came with the flame thrower.
 * Bolt From The Blue vs Diotoir vs Ming II
 * Qualified: Bolt From Ther Blue + Ming II

Round 2
Two very similar robots and not much action. Firestorm II couldn't get under Bolt From The Blue due to it's very low ground clearance. Bolt From The Blue lifted Firestorm II, but didn't follow through. The rest of the fight was mainly Firestorm II driving up the side of Bolt From The Blue trying to get underneath. Both robots pushed each other a bit before time ran out. The judges gave Firestorm II the win.
 * Firestorm II vs Bolt From The Blue
 * Winner: Firestorm II

Scar had to pull out of the semi-final due to a technical problem, so The Morgue was reinstated. Ming II started stronger, flipping The Morgue, who rolled back onto it's wheels. The Morgue managed to stab the front of Ming II and lift it up a bit. Ming II got away, but then broke down. Shunt smacked Ming II with the axe, then pushed it into Killalot, who lifted Ming II up and pitted it.
 * The Morgue vs Ming II
 * Winner: The Morgue

Final
Firestorm II started better, flipping The Morgue onto it's side, but nto over. Firestorm II then rolled The Morgue into Matilda's CPZ. The Morgue escpaed, but Firestorm slammed them into a side spike and flipped again, failing to get them over. The pit descended and Firestorm pushed The Morgue towards it. The Morgue reversed onto the edge and appeared to get wedged on on, but Firestorm II reversed and fell in underneath it! The Morgue boys celebrated, thinking they'd won, but the judges controversialy ruled that The Morgue had gone in first (despite being too big to fit in!), and gave Firestorm II the win. The Morgue boys were not happy at all!
 * Firestorm II vs The Morgue
 * Heat Winner: Firestorm II
