Eliminators
Sir Chromalot immediately forced Shell Shock onto the spikes, then into Matilda. Matilda pushed Shell Shock away. Sir Chromalot then forced them into Sir Killalot, who chucked Shell Shock into the air, breaking the axe. Sir Chromalot tried to push Shell Shock into the pit, but then stopped moving. They started up again, but the House Robots closed in and shoved them down the pit. However, the judges ruled that this was unfair and controversially said that Sir Chromalot should go thorugh.
 * Sir Chromalot vs Shell Shock
 * Winner: Sir Chromalot

Grim Reaper had the faster start, but Big Brother pushed them into Sgt. Bash and then towards the pit. They then escaped and drove up Big Brother's wedge, leaping into the air. Grim Reaper charged at Big Brother, but one of their wheels fell off! Big Brother then stopped working and Sir Killalot came in and flipped Grim Reaper over. The judges decided taht Big Brother should win.
 * Big Brother vs Grim Reaper
 * Winner: Big Brother

Bumblebot fired it's axe once, but then it stopped. Milly-Ann Bug seemed too quick and drove Bumblebot around the arena. Milly-Ann Bug tried to push Bumblebot into the pit, but overstepped the mark and fell in itself.
 * Bumblebot vs Milly-Ann Bug
 * Winner: Bumblebot

Both robots had a gentle start. Ultor hit Flipper with the axe once and then Flipper seemed to stop. The House Robots closed in and Shunt dug it's axe into Flipper several times, then flipped it. Ultor axed Matilda a few times. Dead Metal sliced into Flipper's side, nearly ripping off a chunk of armour! Ultor got flipped by the arena spike, but they had already won.
 * Flipper vs Ultor
 * Winner: Ultor

Semi-Finals
Before the battle, the Sir Chromalot boys performed a little dance on the arena floor! Big Brother drove at Sir Chromalot and pushed it round for a while. They then got underneath Sir Chromalot and flipped it over with the wedge. The House Robots came in: Shunt and Dead Metal both caused damage to Sir Chromalot. Dead Metal finally dropped Sir Chromalot in the pit (which the team considered very funny!).
 * Sir Chromalot vs Big Brother
 * Winner: Big Brother

Ultor drove underneath Bumblebot, who's axe seemed to be immobile. Ultor pushed it a bit towards Sgt. Bash. Bumblebot got away, but then it's axe tumbled lifelessly to the ground. Ultor shoved them into Dead Metal, who sliced off the axe head! Bumblebot now had a long pole sticking out the front! Ultor pushed them towards the pit, but the pole prevented them from going in. Sir Killalot lifted them out of the pit, before Shunt came in and shoved them back down. Killalot lifted them out again and dragged them over to the flame pit, ripping off one of it's front casters in the process!
 * Bumblebot vs Ultor
 * Winner: Ultor

Heat Final
Both robots started steadily, until Big Brother's mace got caught on Ultor axe and Ultor was able to drag Big Brother around. They escaped and pushed Ultor around, until, suddenly, the mace fell off! Now they only had the wedge on the front as a weapon. They shoved Ultor onto the floor flipper, causing it to bump into the air and escape. Ultor axed Big Brother a few times, before getting flicked up by an arena spike. It went to the judges.
 * Big Brother vs Ultor
 * Winner: Ultor

However, later on, in the pits, the Ultor boys said they felt the judges were wrong, so they let Big Brother go through to the semi-finals. How kind!
 * Heat Winner: Big Brother
