Round 1
Both robots started slowly with neither able to launch a meaningful attack until Flepser got underneath Bamm Bamm and pushed it into the pit release button. Flepser continued to pursue Bamm Bamm, whose axe did not appear to be working, and pushed it into an angle grinder. Flepser pushed Bamm Bamm into the CPZs a couple of times and Bamm Bamm tried to fight back, but it was unable to launch any real attacks without the use of its axe. The battle ended with both robots in the CPZ and Growler driving up the wedge of Flepser as cease was called. The battle went to the judges, who went for Flepser.
 * Flepser vs Bamm Bamm

Winner: Flepser

Twisted Metal Evo was the early aggressor, launching several attacks on Slamtilt before driving into the CPZ where it was met by Growler. Twisted Metal Evo escaped and activated the pit release button. It then went after Slamtilt again and knocked off one of the wheels which had become loose earlier in the battle. Twisted Metal Evo pushed Slamtilt towards the pit, but then left it to be counted out by Refbot and thrown by the floor flipper. Finally, Mr. Psycho picked up Slamtilt and placed it onto the drop zone where it had several bowling balls dropped onto it.
 * Slamtilt vs Twisted Metal Evo

Winner: Twisted Metal Evo

IDO immediately started spinning, but Hammerhead 2 was able to get underneath with its flipping tail and attempted to flip it over. IDO ran away but it was pursued by Hammerhead 2 which slammed it into the arena wall. IDO activated the pit release button and the two robots became locked together as IDO's spikes got caught on Hammerhead 2's side hammers. Hammerhead 2 span around which forced IDO into the descending pit.
 * Hammerhead 2 vs IDO

Winner: Hammerhead 2

Krab Bot immediately grabbed hold of Alien Destructor 2, but quickly let it go. Alien Destructor 2 then pushed Krab Bot into the arena wall and the South African machine reversed into the clutches of Dead Metal, but escaped. Krab Bot got hold of Alien Destructor 2 again and carried it around the arena. Both robots ended up in the CPZ and Dead Metal attacked Alien Destructor 2 as the pit descended. Alien Destructor 2 tried to escape but it was grabbed by Sgt Bash and Dead Metal sliced into one of its tyres. The battle ended with Alien Destructor 2 stranded in the CPZ and the judges went for Krab Bot.
