Series 2
At first Whirling Dervish looked to be a little uncontrolled, but it managed to steer onto the ramp. It then fell off. It looked like this would be its final distance, but then Sir Killalot picked it up and carried it a couple more metres placing it fourth on the leaderboard. Next was the Trial stage which was Sumo. Whirling Dervish used its flails to attack Shunt, it managed to stay on the platform long enough to go through before it was finally pushed off. In the Arena, it came up against Panic Attack. Whirling Derivsh could barely hit its opponent as Panic Attack was very low and the flails only hit Panic Attack's top armour. After some pushing, Panic Attack managed to get underneath Whirling Dervish and flip it onto its back, sending Whirling Dervish out of the competition.
