Round 1[]
Red Virus and Drillzilla choose their targets
Drillzilla drives under Conquering Clown
Unibite damages Skullmania's tire
Unibite ruins Rippa Raptor's wheel
As the battle started, the six robots came together. Drillzilla started pushing Conquering Clown from behind with Unibite pushing them from the front, nearly toppling it over, whilst Red Virus pushed Rippa Raptor to one side. Unibite then attacked the rear of Drillzilla causing no damage. The six robots then slammed into each other again, with Unibite attacking Skullmania from behind and hitting the side of Red Virus. Unibite started spinning in the middle of the arena only to be pushed aside by Red Virus, and hit Skullmania with its saw, damaging the wheel. Red Virus then pushed Rippa Raptor into Sir Killalot's CPZ, but it escaped and teamed up with Drillzilla to attack Conquering Clown, whilst Red Virus lifted up Unibite by the saw, stopping it. Drillzilla pushed Conquering Clown onto the flame pit, but it got away unscathed and all six robots locked together, forcing Refbot to separate them. Once that had happened, it became clear that Skullmania's tires had slipped away from its wheels, giving it no traction. Unibite ripped off Rippa Raptor's side panel and one of its wheels causing them to lock together, but Skullmania was already immobilized. It was counted out, and Sir Killalot placed it on the floor flipper and being tossed over by it.
Eliminated: Skullmania
Round 2[]
Unibite breaks down after contact with Drillzilla
Conquering Clown pins Rippa Raptor
As the match started, Conquering Clown pushed Red Virus into the arena side wall. Unibite tried to attack Rippa Raptor, but Rippa Raptor's brand new wheel coverings protected it. Drillzilla then pushed Conquering Clown into Red Virus, whilst Unibite spun around and hit Red Virus and Drillzilla on the side. Red Virus and Conquering Clown then collided with each other, the force being enough to knock Conquering Clown's afro off. Conquering Clown then pushed Red Virus back, before being struck at the back by Unibite, who got pushed back by Drillzilla. The impact seemed to completely immobilise Unibite, as Rippa Raptor was pushed into the side grinders by the remaining three robots. Red Virus then lifted up the immobile Unibite by the spinner. Red Virus and Drillzilla then left to push Unibite onto the flame pit, where it was counted out. Dead Metal was unable to grab it, but Sergeant Bash was, and pushed it down the pit. After the fight, Jerome Miles of Unibite's team confirmed that when Drillzilla hit Unibite on the back, which took out its "five dollar switch".
Eliminated: Unibite
Round 3[]
Red Virus spikes Rippa Raptor
Drillzilla pushes Conquering Clown over the flame pit
Straight from the start, Drillzilla pushed Conquering Clown into Red Virus, and around the arena. Eventually, Conquering Clown escaped and tried attacking Red Virus. Drillzilla was the rammed into the arena wall by Conquering Clown. As Red Virus and Rippa Raptor had their own match, with Red Virus spiking the side of Rippa Raptor. Drillzilla then ran into Rippa Raptor then turned round and pushed the Conquering Clown towards CPZ, but Conquering Clown just pushed forwards through the other robots. Drillzilla then pushed Conquering Clown back towards the CPZ. Red Virus then rammed Drillzilla into the CPZ. Drillzilla escaped and rammed Conquering Clown. All four robots then smashed together, Red Virus spiked the side of Rippa Raptor again with Conquering Clown pushing the side of them. Drillzilla then pushed Conquering Clown into the arena wall where it appeared to be running out of power. Drillzilla continued to push Conquering Clown around, and into the CPZ where Shunt axed it. Conquering Clown then rammed into Rippa Raptor and then Drillzilla again pushing Conquering Clown into the arena wall. Eventually, Conquering Clown was immobilized and was pushed over the flames by Drillzilla. Conquering Clown's head burned off as it was counted out and eliminated with Shunt getting one last hit with the axe. Refbot then extinguished Conquering Clown's flames.
Eliminated: Conquering Clown

Annihilator Champion: Drillzilla
Trivia[]
- Both robots which withdrew from the US Championship competed in this competition. It is unclear whether the Annihilator or US Championship was filmed first, so they were either repaired in time for this event or too badly damaged during it to compete in the main competition.
- One of Mick Foley's monologues in this episode, in which he declares 'Rules are like robots- they're made to be broken, smashed, annihilated!', was repeated exactly in Craig Charles' introduction to Episode 4 of Robot Wars Extreme.
- This is the only episode in Season 1 not to feature any loanerbots.
