[[File:Spike_pinned.png|thumb|left|Spike gets its axe stuck in the arena floor]]
As the battle began, Bot-Ugly charged at Spike, who spun to prevent its opponent from grabbing it. Spike fired its axe, but missed and got itself stuck to the arena floor, allowing Bot-Ugly to grab hold of it, its pincers slowly crumbling the loanerbot's frame. It was unable to pull Spike free, however, and eventually Spike, having freed itself, struck it with its axe, not causing any noticable damage. The two robots, still locked together, drove into the CPZ, where Shunt and Refbot attempted to seperate them. Eventually, Spike managed to free itself from Bot-Ugly and kept it pinned in the CPZ, just as Matilda came in to attack, whereupon Spike hit her with its axe.

As the battle began, the two robot drove at each other, but when Bot-Ugly tried to grab Spike with its pincer jaws, Spike spun to prevent its opponent from grabbing it. Spike got around the pincers of Bot-Ugly and fired its axe, but Bot-Ugly turned against Spike, causing Spike to miss with the axe, which became stuck in the arena floor. Whilst Spike struggled to free the axe, Bot-Ugly got its pincer jaws around Spike and closed them. However, Spike was able to get its axe free, and although it was still caught in Bot-Ugly's pincer jaws, Spike managed to turn around and hit it with the axe, but this didn't cause any noticeable damage.
Spike then axed Bot-Ugly again, going straight through its shell, whilst Shunt axed Spike's tyre, with no crippling affect. As Shunt pushed the two robots, which were locked together again, towards the opening pit, Bot-Ugly began smoking slightly. With some aid from Matilda and Shunt, Spike managed to force Bot-Ugly into the pit.

[[File:Shunt_vs_spike.png|thumb|left|Shunt axes the tire of Spike]]

The two robots pushed against each other, with Bot-Ugly trying to push Spike into a CPZ, but Spike turned to pull Bot-Ugly in with it. [[Shunt]] came over to the CPZ and gave Bot-Ugly a little push on the side, but it would not let go. [[Refbot]] drove over, pushing against Spike, but this did not free it from Bot-Ugly's clutches either. Spike tried to axe Bot-Ugly, but it was at the wrong angle, so the axe missed Bot-Ugly's body. As Spike reversed into Shunt, Shunt pushed against Spike, helping loosen Bot-Ugly's grip on it, and [[Matilda]] came over to the CPZ, giving Bot-Ugly a push from behind. This loosened Bot-Ugly's grip on Spike, and Shunt pushed Bot-Ugly against the arena wall, with Spike also helping to pin it there. As Shunt reversed out of the CPZ, Matilda came over to attack, but Spike axed her instead of its opponent, managing to pierce her top and pull her back a little.

Spike let got and attacked Bot-Ugly, getting its axe right into the body, but as it did so, Shunt got at its side and fired his axe at one of Spike's wheels. The axe hit the tyre, but did not rip it and Spike was able to keep driving. Spike kept its axe in Bot-Ugly as Shunt pushed the two robots out of the CPZ, axing Bot-Ugly. Smoke began to rise from Bot-Ugly, and when Shunt let go, Spike was able to drag Bot-Ugly towards the pit, and with a little help from Matilda, was able to push Bot-Ugly into the pit, although its axe was still caught in Bot-Ugly's body.

$6 Million Mouse got off to the faster start of the two robots, spinning around Falcon and eventually landing a blow at the rear, dislodging a small panel. Falcon retaliated by trying to use its axe, but it missed, instead wedging the Mouse, before reversing away. $6 Million Mouse drove at Falcon again, rendering both weapons useless, before pushing it towards the flame pit. The two robots drove away, and Falcon wedged underneath the Mouse again, pushing it onto its side. Despite its best efforts, it was unable to keep the Mouse wedged and Refbot seperated the two.

6 Million Dollar Mouse got off to the faster start of the two robots, steering around Falcon and eventually landing a blow at the rear, dislodging a small panel. Falcon retaliated by driving around the back of 6 Million Dollar Mouse and trying to use its axe, but it missed. As 6 Million Dollar Mouse turned around to use its spinning blade, Falcon drove past, then turned around. 6 Million Dollar Mouse drove at the front of Falcon, but the blade merely stopped on impact, Falcon pushed against 6 Million Dollar Mouse and it reversed away.
  +
{{quote|6 Million Dollar Mouse, with that spinning blade, seems to be getting in there but not doing a whole lot of damage with it. The Falcon's just got the arm lifted up, but he's not really doing anything with it, I wonder if it's stuck or something.|Stefan Frank on the two competitors weapons}}
  +
[[File:Falconvs$6millionmouse CW.jpg|thumb|6 Million Dollar Mouse nearly gets flipped by Falcon]]
  +
The two robots drove head-on at each other, and 6 Million Dollar Mouse pushed Falcon across the arena, onto the flame pit, but Falcon quickly reversed off. Falcon drove at the side of 6 Million Dollar Mouse, getting under the side and nearly tipping the robot over, but despite its pushing, Falcon could not topple 6 Million Dollar Mouse, and Refbot pushed the two apart.

{{quote|Look at that, perfect wedge design there, just lifting the Mouse up into the stratosphere! And Refbot comes in to break it up a little bit. Mouse goes away to see another day!|Stefan Frank as Falcon tried to overturn 6 Million Dollar Mouse, but then gets pushed by Refbot}}

[[File:Falcon_shunt.png|thumb|left|Falcon is axed by Shunt]]
  +
As the pit descended, Falcon chased after 6 Million Dollar Mouse, which kept steering away from its opponent, but then got at the side of Falcon, but couldn't attack as its spinning blade was no longer working. It tried to push Falcon into the pit, but didn't have enough power, and Falcon turned around 6 Million Dollar Mouse. 6 Million Dollar Mouse reversed, then drove back at Falcon, pushing it against the wall.

6 Million Dollar Mouse reversed for another charge, and as Falcon drove away from the wall, it pushed it straight into Shunt, who axed the top and pushed it away from the CPZ. In the last few seconds, 6 Million Dollar Mouse pushed Falcon against an angle grinder and pinned it there, and although it reversed, letting Falcon off the angle grinder, it pushed it back against the angle grinder just before time ran out.

The decision was very close, but the Judges ruled in favour of 6 Million Dollar Mouse

Winner: '''6 Million Dollar Mouse'''
The two robots collided moments later, just as the pit descended. Unable to push each other into the pit, the Mouse rammed into Falcon head-on again and proved to be the stronger, pushing Falcon into the CPZ, where Shunt struck it with his axe. Falcon managed to break away, but was forced into an angle grinder by the Mouse for the last ten seconds of battle. The judges were called to make a decision.

[[File:Manta vs Tiger Cat.jpg|thumb|Manta rips the face from Tiger Cat]]
 
Manta got off to the faster start, and began by charging directly at the side of Tiger Cat, damaging its right side panel. As Manta reversed, Tiger Cat turned and drove erratically down the arena, turning one way then the other as it did so, then Manta rammed into its left side, dislodging the entire panel. Tiger Cat span around onto a flame jet, and Manta charged into its front, tearing the front panel clean off. Tiger Cat turned over the flame jet, waiting for it to set the fur on fire, where its fur caught fire, and Manta struck it from the side again, almost ripping the left side panel clean off.

  +
Tiger Cat fled across the arena, but Manta charged after it, ramming into the back. Tiger Cat kept driving across the arena, nearly driving into Refbot, which reversed, but Tiger Cat kept driving after Refbot. It drove into the Refbot's front, and Manta caught up with it, hitting the side and flipping the whole robot upwards with its spinner. This impact ripped off the loose panel and left Tiger Cat immobilised, and Shunt came out of his CPZ to axe it.
  +
{{quote|Dosen't look good for the North in this round, boy I'll tell you, that Tiger Cat's looking mighty crispy by now, as Refbot puts out the flames!

Refbot was able to extinguish some of the flames, before counting Tiger Cat out. Shunt placed Tiger Cat on the floor flipper, where it was thrown. As it landed, Manta rammed into it one last time, before Shunt pushed it over to the pit, then pushed it in with a little help from Sgt. Bash.

===Tiger Cat (Union) vs Manta (Confederacy)===
 
Manta got off to the faster start, and began by charging directly at the side of Tiger Cat, damaging its right side panel. As Tiger Cat continued to drive around the arena, Manta hit it hard on the left side, dislodging the entire panel, before hitting it front-on and tearing its front panel clean off. The impact forced Tiger Cat onto a flame jet, where its fur caught fire, and Manta struck it from the side again, dislodging the left side even more.
 
{{quote|It's a flaming, faceless tiger!|Stefan Frank}}
 
Tiger Cat fled across the arena, but Manta managed to catch up and forced itself underneath momentarily, breaking the loose panel off. After this slam, Tiger Cat's mobility ceased, and it was axed by Shunt. Refbot was able to extinguish some of the flames, before counting Tiger Cat out. Shunt placed Tiger Cat on the floor flipper, where it was thrown, and after a few more attacks by Manta, Shunt and Sgt Bash pushed it into the pit.

{{dialogue a-b|[[Rebecca Grant]]|You going to be a tough Yankee?|Glen Sears|Yeah, Yankee ingenuity won the first time, we hope to do it again|Sobek's pre-battle interview}}
Sobek entered the arena with a "sacrificial" tyre in its jaws. As the battle began, The Revolutionist dodged aside to get itself up to speed. Sobek, undetered, drove straight at Revolutionist, breaking the tyre in its jaw, which is got momentarily beached on. Revolutionist pushed Sobek back before retreating away. Sobek charged at the full-body spinner with its jaws open, but its first two charges caused it to be deflected away, causing no visible damage. On the third attempt, it was able to stop Revolutionist's spinning body, but its jaws were unable to grab hold of it.

[[File:Sobekvsrevoultionist RWEW.jpg|thumb|left|The Revolutionist rips off Sobek's tire]]
  +
[[File:Sobek_vs_the_revolutionists.png|thumb|The Revolutionist smashes into Sobek]]
  +
The Revolutionist started by darting down the arena to get away from Sobek, giving it time to get its spinner up to speed. As The Revolutionist began spinning, Sobek charged at it, but was knocked aside on impact, the sacrificial tire that the team had put on the jaw falling off. The Revolutionist stopped spinning, so rammed into Sobek, pushing it back, until Sobek turned and The Revolutionist drove past. Sobek turned and opened its jaw, but The Revolutionist slammed into its front then drove past, with Sobek not getting a chance to use its jaw. As Sobek turned, The Revolutionist hit Sobek's side, and Sobek was knocked back. Sobek drove at The Revolutionist with its jaw closed, and The Revolutionist bounced off the jaw.

{{quote|It looks like those jaws aren't going do any good, that Revolutionist is going too fast|Stefan Frank}}

[[File:The_revolutionists_vs_sobek.png|thumb|left|Sobek pushes a weaponless Revolutionist]]

Sobek chased after The Revolutionist as it reversed up the arena. As it did so, the spinner kept hitting the jaw, bending it a little, but Sobek kept in pursuit, then drove into The Revolutionist. The Revolutionist stopped spinning, so Sobek pushed it, but then reversed for another charge. As Sobek drove back at The Revolutionist, The Revolutionist pushed back and Sobek reversed and turned away. The Revolutionist drove into the arena center and tried to get its spinner up to speed, but the spinner failed to spin up.

{{quote|It's not rolling much. It's rolling forwards, but the spin mode seems to be disabled!|Stefan Frank as The Revolutionists fails to get its spinner up to speed}}

[[File:Sobek vs The Revolutionist.jpg|thumb|Sobek is wrongly attacked by Sgt. Bash]]
  +
Sobek drove at it, The Revolutionist rammed into it then drove up the arena. Sobek drove onto its sacrificial tire, and as it struggled to get off, The Revolutionist tried to push it towards the wall. Sgt. Bash came out of his CPZ, pinning Sobek against the wall. Refbot intervened, driving into Sgt. Bash's side, forcing him to return to the CPZ. Sobek used its side bars to lift itself off the tire, and it drove up the arena after The Revolutionist. The Revolutionist weakly drove at it, but the spinner still could not spin, so The Revolutionist drove down the arena. Sgt. Bash came out of his CPZ again, chasing Sobek down the arena. Sgt. Bash soon caught up with Sobek and grabbed it with his front jaw until Refbot intervened again, giving him a yellow card. Time ran out, and the battle went to the judges.
  +
{{Quote|The Revolutionist had a great design there, pretty much impenetrable, and Sgt. Bash gave him probably more assistance than he needed.|Stefan Frank reviewing the highlights}}

The judges decided to give Sobek the win after a close battle.

{{quote|The spinning weapon did some damage right off the bat, but once it was nullified, it basically looked like a big ... birthday cake out there!|Mick Foley to the Sobek team after the battle}}
   
The Revolutionist drove back into the centre of the arena, but its spinning weapon only turned slowly, so it was forced to push against Sobek. As Sobek continued to attack, it beached itself on its sacrificial tyre again. Immediately, Sgt Bash came out of his CPZ and tried to grab hold of Sobek, but was chased away by Refbot as Sobek used its arms to push itself off its tyre. Sobek gave chase on the crippled Revolutionist again, but was forced to retreat as Sgt Bash chased after it again. The house robot managed to get his pincer clamped around Sobek's wheel and dragged it backwards. Refbot issued Bash with a yellow card, only for Bash to fire his flamethrower at him. Time ran out, and the judges decided that, despite the attacks on Sobek, it had won the battle.

[[File:Manta_vs_spike.png|thumb|left|Manta slams Spike into the arena side wall]]
Spike quickly gave chase towards Manta as the battle began, but Manta was able to dodge away and slammed Spike from the side, close to the flame pit. Spike began spinning on the spot to throw Manta off, but Manta was not deterred and rammed Spike onto the arena hazard. After crashing into an angle grinder, Spike managed to drive away, only to be rammed by Manta again, into Dead Metal's pincers. Spike continued to spin around again, but Manta got around its side and pushed it across the arena, stopping its spinning disc in the process.
 
  +
At the start, Spike quickly gave chase towards Manta as it drove down the arena, but Manta turned around and rammed into Spikes side, pushing it by the flame pit. After this impact, Spike lost drive on one side and began spinning on the spot, but Manta was not deterred and rammed Spike onto the flame pit. Spike continued to spin, and eventually managed to turn itself off the flame pit. After accidentally turning into an angle grinder, Spike turned around, but Manta charged at it, slamming it against an angle grinder.

{{quote|Oh! Another head on collision by the Manta, who's just taking fearless runs right into the side and front of Spike!|Stefan Frank as Manta rams into Spike}}
Spike slowly retreated across the arena, seemingly aiming for the pit release, but Manta drove it into the arena wall before it could do so. Spike appeared to lose mobility after this slam, but Manta slammed it with its ramming spike just to make sure. As Spike's immobility became evident, Sir Killalot grabbed hold of Spike, crumpling its armour and pushing it into the pit release button. He spun Spike around, dropping the loanerbot right on the edge of the pit, allowing Manta to push it straight in.

Spike managed to drive forwards, but as it did so it drove close to Dead Metal's CPZ. It tried turning away, but could not get away from the CPZ, and the House Robot gave it a little push. As Manta closed in, Spike span on the spot, but this did noththing to stop Manta ramming it, driving around it and pushing it across to the arena centre.

Spike slowly retreated across the arena, seemingly aiming for the pit release, but when it stopped to turn around, Manta rammed it into the arena wall. Spike appeared to lose mobility after this slam, as it was barely able to turn, and Manta slammed it with its ramming spike. Spike tried to turn away from the wall, but could only turn a tiny bit, and Manta reversed into it, ramming it against the arena wall. With Spike clearly immobile, Sir Killalot came over and grabbed hold of Spike, crumpling its armour and pushing it into the pit release button.

$6 Million Mouse had the quicker start, but Sobek started as the early aggressor, pushing its opponent around the arena, as the Mouse's blade was too low to hit Sobek's jaws. The Mouse broke away and tried to attack Sobek again, but was unable to land a blow on the low-slung Sobek, who continued to push back. Eventually, the Mouse's spinning blade snagged one of Sobek's arms, breaking off the wheel from it. Sobek continued to push the Mouse, getting underneath, but in doing so its right arm was clipped by the Mouse's blade and buckled completely.

6 Million Dollar Mouse had the quicker start, driving at Sobek with its blade spinning, but Sobek turned and reversed as 6 Million Dollar Mouse got close, and the blade stopped on impact with the jaw. Sobek pushed against the side of 6 Million Dollar Mouse, and though 6 Million Dollar Mouse hit Sobek's jaw with its spinning blade a couple of times, Sobek kept pushing it around. Sobek managed to get its jaws just below 6 Million Dollar Mouse's spinning blade and pushed it across the arena, but Sobek reversed and 6 Million Dollar Mouse drove away. Sobek charged at 6 Million Dollar Mouse as it reversed, and 6 Million Dollar Mouse tried to turn around to attack Sobek's wheels with its spinning blade, but Sobek kept pushing at 6 Million Dollar Mouse's side and turning, so 6 Million Dollar Mouse drove around Sobek. However, as it turned to use its spinning blade, Sobek reversed into it before it was up to speed, so the blade stopped on impact again.

6 Million Dollar Mouse reversed, and Sobek drove at it, but missed its charge and 6 Million Dollar Mouse landed a glancing blow on the side as it drove past. Both robots turned around and drove straight at each other. The two competitors jumped up a little on impact with the spinning blade, but no major damage was done and 6 Million Dollar Mouse drove past, driving to the side of the arena. Sobek reversed after it and 6 Million Dollar Mouse turned, but when Sobek drove into the front, the spinning blade did no damage when it hit the jaw. The blade then hit one of Sobek's wheels, then hit one of the side arms, knocking it askew.

Sobek drove down the arena, and 6 Million Dollar Mouse turned away from the angle grinder and drove after it. 6 Million Dollar Mouse slammed into the front of Sobek, the impact knocking off the side arm that had been knocked askew, then 6 Million Dollar Mouse reversed across the arena as Sobek tried pushing back. Sobek reversed for a charge, and 6 Million Dollar Mouse turned on the spot. Sobek drove at 6 Million Dollar Mouse, and 6 Million Dollar Mouse turned around as Sobek got close, hitting it with its spinning blade, then quickly turning and driving away up the arena. 6 Million Dollar Mouse turned around and drove back at Sobek, hitting the jaw and bending it. Sobek pushed 6 Million Dollar Mouse across the arena, then reversed as 6 Million Dollar Mouse pushed back. 6 Million Dollar Mouse drove across the arena and turned, then waited for Sobek to drive at it. Sobek reversed, but suddenly one of its wheels came loose and fell off.

6 Million Dollar Mouse charged into the side of Sobek as it drove down the arena. Sobek kept driving, but was driving unsteadily due to its lost wheel. 6 Million Dollar Mouse drove into the back of it, but its blade was no longer spinning, so it turned away. Sobek reversed, then limped forwards, and Dead Metal came out of his CPZ after it. Dead Metal grabbed it with his pincers and cut into it, but Refbot gave him a yellow card. This did not stop Dead Metal, who dragged Sobek onto the flame pit, but Refbot pushed against Dead Metal, forcing him to return to the CPZ. As Refbot came in to push Dead Metal and Sobek apart, one of Sobek's side arms got caught on Refbot, and Sobek was pulled back as Refbot reversed, but Refbot drove past to separate the two. Sobek was now immobile, and was pushed onto the flame pit, where Refbot began counting it out. With Sobek counted out, Dead Metal and Sir Killalot came over to attack, with Dead Metal cutting into it, before Sir Killalot grabbed it with his claw and pulled it away. Sir Killalot lifted Sobek up and span it around, but nearly overbalanced forwards. Sir Killalot finally took Sobek to the pit and dropped Sobek in, confirming its elimination.

Sobek retreated momentarily but came back on the aggressive, pushing against $6 Million Mouse again, stopping the blade at one point and continuing to push it around the arena. However, as it reversed away for another charge, one of Sobek's wheels fell off, hampering its mobility. Despite shuffling back and forth across the arena, Dead Metal came out of his CPZ to grab hold of Sobek and drag it onto the flame pit. Refbot issued the house robot with a yellow card, but counted Sobek out moments later, as it was now completely immobilized. Dead Metal attacked Sobek with his saw before Sir Killalot picked it up, spun it around and dropped it into the pit, eliminating Sobek, and the Union, from the competition.

$6 Million Mouse got its blade spinning as the battle began, but Manta had the faster start, slamming it head-on and dislodging the Mouse's nose. It then pushed against the Mouse, eventually managing to achieve what Falcon had failed to do, turning the Mouse onto its side. After leaving it there for a moment, Manta pushed the Mouse into Sir Killalot's CPZ, whereupon he grabbed $6 Million Mouse by its blade and carried it to the flame pit.

After singing the fur slightly, Killalot placed $6 Million Mouse upside down on the floor flipper. The Mouse was thrown across the arena, its self-righting tail breaking in the process, but landed back on its wheels, allowing it to drive away. Manta quickly responded by slamming it back into the CPZ, but the Mouse drove away before any house robot could attack. Manta, unable to get it into the pit, forced its opponent into the angle grinders, where the Mouse struggled to escape from before Dead Metal grabbed hold of it. The Mouse desperately tried to drive away, but appeared sluggish as Manta continued to slam it again, forcing it closer to the pit. Eventually, Manta managed to get around the side of its opponent, and forced the valiant $6 Million Mouse into the pit.

Manta slammed straight into 6 Million Dollar Mouse, knocking off one of the decorations, and got around the side, then pushed 6 Million Dollar Mouse into Refbot. As 6 Million Dollar Mouse tried to turn away, Manta rammed into its rear and used its spinning disc, together with its pushing power, to flip the other finalist onto its side. 6 Million Dollar Mouse was unable to self-right, so Manta pushed it up the arena into Sir Killalot's CPZ. Sir Killalot picked it up by the blade and paraded it around, carrying it to the flame pit, where he held it over the flames.

It drove close to the arena wall, and as it struggled to turn it reversed into an angle grinder, and Manta rammed it, pushing it against the wall. 6 Million Dollar Mouse tried to get away from the wall, but couldn't turn, so merely drove back and forth between two angle grinders, before Dead Metal came over and grabbed it. Dead Metal turned 6 Million Dollar Mouse away from the wall, and it weakly reversed away. Manta rammed into the side a couple of times, and 6 Million Dollar Mouse turned towards the pit.

Revision as of 19:55, 12 May 2021

"Tonight, it's 'stars and stripes' vs 'stars and bars'. Will the South rise again, or will the North quash the insurrection once and for all? Eight robots - four Yankees and four rebels - are lined up, ready to pound out a history rewrite, by whipping some metal ass! And I can promise you one thing, my friends... this war is anything but civil!"
Mick Foley's introduction

The Civil War was a competition held during the first season of Robot Wars: Extreme Warriors. In the episode, four robots from the North would fight four robots from the South in a Union vs Confederacy confrontation. The episode was originally broadcast on September 3, 2001 on TNN.

Format

Just like the War of Independence, the tournament would start with four eliminators in which a robot representing the Union would fight a robot representing the Confederacy. Whichever robot won would move on to the semi-final and then to the final round to decide the Civil War champion.

Round 1

Spike (Union) vs Bot-Ugly (Confederacy)

"Ah, they would have been better off fighting the Civil War this way, with robots!"
— Stefan Frank at the start of the battle
Spike pinned

Bot-Ugly trapped in the CPZ as Spike attacks Matilda

As the battle began, the two robot drove at each other, but when Bot-Ugly tried to grab Spike with its pincer jaws, Spike spun to prevent its opponent from grabbing it. Spike got around the pincers of Bot-Ugly and fired its axe, but Bot-Ugly turned against Spike, causing Spike to miss with the axe, which became stuck in the arena floor. Whilst Spike struggled to free the axe, Bot-Ugly got its pincer jaws around Spike and closed them. However, Spike was able to get its axe free, and although it was still caught in Bot-Ugly's pincer jaws, Spike managed to turn around and hit it with the axe, but this didn't cause any noticeable damage.

"...and look at those crushers, coming in on Bot-Ugly! They might make Spike ugly as well, but they don't look like they got a whole lot of power there, Spike just kind of looking on in disbelief"
— Stefan Frank as Bot-Ugly grips Spike
Shunt vs spike

Shunt axes the tire of Spike

The two robots pushed against each other, with Bot-Ugly trying to push Spike into a CPZ, but Spike turned to pull Bot-Ugly in with it. Shunt came over to the CPZ and gave Bot-Ugly a little push on the side, but it would not let go. Refbot drove over, pushing against Spike, but this did not free it from Bot-Ugly's clutches either. Spike tried to axe Bot-Ugly, but it was at the wrong angle, so the axe missed Bot-Ugly's body. As Spike reversed into Shunt, Shunt pushed against Spike, helping loosen Bot-Ugly's grip on it, and Matilda came over to the CPZ, giving Bot-Ugly a push from behind. This loosened Bot-Ugly's grip on Spike, and Shunt pushed Bot-Ugly against the arena wall, with Spike also helping to pin it there. As Shunt reversed out of the CPZ, Matilda came over to attack, but Spike axed her instead of its opponent, managing to pierce her top and pull her back a little.

"Oh no, Spike into Matilda! He knows that was a wrong move!"
— Stefan Frank as Spike axes Matilda
SpikevsbotuglyRWEW

Bot-Ugly gets axed by Spike

Spike let got and attacked Bot-Ugly, getting its axe right into the body, but as it did so, Shunt got at its side and fired his axe at one of Spike's wheels. The axe hit the tyre, but did not rip it and Spike was able to keep driving. Spike kept its axe in Bot-Ugly as Shunt pushed the two robots out of the CPZ, axing Bot-Ugly. Smoke began to rise from Bot-Ugly, and when Shunt let go, Spike was able to drag Bot-Ugly towards the pit, and with a little help from Matilda, was able to push Bot-Ugly into the pit, although its axe was still caught in Bot-Ugly's body.

"I've got to admit, for a while there, it looked like the General Lee's army was going to have its way, but the army of the Potomac just came fighting back, firing back! What you did to Bot-Ugly, made Sherman's march to the sea look like a walk in the park!"
— Mick Foley to the Spike team after the battle

Winner: Spike

Falcon (Union) vs 6 Million Dollar Mouse (Confederacy)

"The battle lines have been drawn, and now the South is going to be fired up to get even! It's about pride, it's about kicking the enemy's tin can butt straight into the scrapheap of history! Forget the musket, toss out the fife and drum, today it's a buzz saw, flamethrower, and razor claws, that'll tear you to shreds!"
— Mick Foley before the battle
Falcon vs 6 million dollar mouse

6 Million Dollar Mouse shoves Falcon towards the flame pit

6 Million Dollar Mouse got off to the faster start of the two robots, steering around Falcon and eventually landing a blow at the rear, dislodging a small panel. Falcon retaliated by driving around the back of 6 Million Dollar Mouse and trying to use its axe, but it missed. As 6 Million Dollar Mouse turned around to use its spinning blade, Falcon drove past, then turned around. 6 Million Dollar Mouse drove at the front of Falcon, but the blade merely stopped on impact, Falcon pushed against 6 Million Dollar Mouse and it reversed away.

"6 Million Dollar Mouse, with that spinning blade, seems to be getting in there but not doing a whole lot of damage with it. The Falcon's just got the arm lifted up, but he's not really doing anything with it, I wonder if it's stuck or something."
— Stefan Frank on the two competitors weapons
Falconvs$6millionmouse CW

6 Million Dollar Mouse nearly gets flipped by Falcon

The two robots drove head-on at each other, and 6 Million Dollar Mouse pushed Falcon across the arena, onto the flame pit, but Falcon quickly reversed off. Falcon drove at the side of 6 Million Dollar Mouse, getting under the side and nearly tipping the robot over, but despite its pushing, Falcon could not topple 6 Million Dollar Mouse, and Refbot pushed the two apart.

"Look at that, perfect wedge design there, just lifting the Mouse up into the stratosphere! And Refbot comes in to break it up a little bit. Mouse goes away to see another day!"
— Stefan Frank as Falcon tried to overturn 6 Million Dollar Mouse, but then gets pushed by Refbot
Falcon shunt

Falcon is axed by Shunt

As the pit descended, Falcon chased after 6 Million Dollar Mouse, which kept steering away from its opponent, but then got at the side of Falcon, but couldn't attack as its spinning blade was no longer working. It tried to push Falcon into the pit, but didn't have enough power, and Falcon turned around 6 Million Dollar Mouse. 6 Million Dollar Mouse reversed, then drove back at Falcon, pushing it against the wall.

"Falcon backing up, that arm hasn't been any use to him all the way through this round. The 6 Million Dollar Mouse has got the Falcon backed up against the rails, and now backed up against Shunt in the Corner Patrol Zone!"
— Stefan Frank as 6 Million Dollar Mouse pushes Falcon around
6 Million Dollar Mouse vs Falcon

6 Million Dollar Mouse backs Falcon into the wall

6 Million Dollar Mouse reversed for another charge, and as Falcon drove away from the wall, it pushed it straight into Shunt, who axed the top and pushed it away from the CPZ. In the last few seconds, 6 Million Dollar Mouse pushed Falcon against an angle grinder and pinned it there, and although it reversed, letting Falcon off the angle grinder, it pushed it back against the angle grinder just before time ran out.

"By the slimmest of margins, the winner, representing the South, the Confederancy, the 6 Million Dollar Mouse!"
— Mick Foley announces the decision

The decision was very close, but the Judges ruled in favour of 6 Million Dollar Mouse

Mick Foley: "Well, you weren't looking too great when that mouse's blade stopped rotating! It looked to me like you take the fall, almost like Lee did at Antietam. How do you feel about that?"
Greg Hannold: "We were just playing possum, we weren't worried about it too much"
— In the post-battle interview

Winner: 6 Million Dollar Mouse

Tiger Cat (Union) vs Manta (Confederacy)

"There it is so far, Union 1, Confederates 1. Let's see whether Tiger Cat or Manta can tip the scales!"
— Stefan Frank looks at the battle-board before the battle
Tigercat vs manta

Manta tears open the side of Tiger Cat

Manta vs Tiger Cat

Manta rips the face from Tiger Cat

Manta got off to the faster start, and began by charging directly at the side of Tiger Cat, damaging its right side panel. As Manta reversed, Tiger Cat turned and drove erratically down the arena, turning one way then the other as it did so, then Manta rammed into its left side, dislodging the entire panel. Tiger Cat span around onto a flame jet, and Manta charged into its front, tearing the front panel clean off. Tiger Cat turned over the flame jet, waiting for it to set the fur on fire, where its fur caught fire, and Manta struck it from the side again, almost ripping the left side panel clean off.

"It's a flaming, faceless tiger!"
— Stefan Frank as Tiger Cat's fire catches fire
Tigercatvsmanta RWEW

Tiger Cat catches fire

Tiger Cat fled across the arena, but Manta charged after it, ramming into the back. Tiger Cat kept driving across the arena, nearly driving into Refbot, which reversed, but Tiger Cat kept driving after Refbot. It drove into the Refbot's front, and Manta caught up with it, hitting the side and flipping the whole robot upwards with its spinner. This impact ripped off the loose panel and left Tiger Cat immobilised, and Shunt came out of his CPZ to axe it.

"Dosen't look good for the North in this round, boy I'll tell you, that Tiger Cat's looking mighty crispy by now, as Refbot puts out the flames! Tiger Cat, started out looking really beautiful, and just fell apart from the begininng, just decimated!"
— Stefan Frank as Refbot puts out the flames and begins to count Tiger Cat out
Tiger cat pitted

Tiger Cat is pitted

Refbot was able to extinguish some of the flames, before counting Tiger Cat out. Shunt placed Tiger Cat on the floor flipper, where it was thrown. As it landed, Manta rammed into it one last time, before Shunt pushed it over to the pit, then pushed it in with a little help from Sgt. Bash.

"The Tiger Cat went down in a blaze, but unfortunately for them, it was not a blaze of glory! It was a blaze of humiliation and crushing defeat! But on the other hand, we have some clear cut winners. Representing the Confederates, the team of Manta!"
— Mick Foley after the battle

Winner: Manta

Sobek (Union) vs The Revolutionist (Confederacy)

Rebecca Grant: "You going to be a tough Yankee?"
Glen Sears: "Yeah, Yankee ingenuity won the first time, we hope to do it again"
— Sobek's pre-battle interview
Sobekvsrevoultionist RWEW

The Revolutionist rips off Sobek's tire

Sobek vs the revolutionists

The Revolutionist smashes into Sobek

The Revolutionist started by darting down the arena to get away from Sobek, giving it time to get its spinner up to speed. As The Revolutionist began spinning, Sobek charged at it, but was knocked aside on impact, the sacrificial tire that the team had put on the jaw falling off. The Revolutionist stopped spinning, so rammed into Sobek, pushing it back, until Sobek turned and The Revolutionist drove past. Sobek turned and opened its jaw, but The Revolutionist slammed into its front then drove past, with Sobek not getting a chance to use its jaw. As Sobek turned, The Revolutionist hit Sobek's side, and Sobek was knocked back. Sobek drove at The Revolutionist with its jaw closed, and The Revolutionist bounced off the jaw.

"It looks like those jaws aren't going do any good, that Revolutionist is going too fast"
— Stefan Frank
The revolutionists vs sobek

Sobek pushes a weaponless Revolutionist

Sobek chased after The Revolutionist as it reversed up the arena. As it did so, the spinner kept hitting the jaw, bending it a little, but Sobek kept in pursuit, then drove into The Revolutionist. The Revolutionist stopped spinning, so Sobek pushed it, but then reversed for another charge. As Sobek drove back at The Revolutionist, The Revolutionist pushed back and Sobek reversed and turned away. The Revolutionist drove into the arena center and tried to get its spinner up to speed, but the spinner failed to spin up.

"It's not rolling much. It's rolling forwards, but the spin mode seems to be disabled!"
— Stefan Frank as The Revolutionists fails to get its spinner up to speed
Sobek vs The Revolutionist

Sobek is wrongly attacked by Sgt. Bash

Sobek drove at it, The Revolutionist rammed into it then drove up the arena. Sobek drove onto its sacrificial tire, and as it struggled to get off, The Revolutionist tried to push it towards the wall. Sgt. Bash came out of his CPZ, pinning Sobek against the wall. Refbot intervened, driving into Sgt. Bash's side, forcing him to return to the CPZ. Sobek used its side bars to lift itself off the tire, and it drove up the arena after The Revolutionist. The Revolutionist weakly drove at it, but the spinner still could not spin, so The Revolutionist drove down the arena. Sgt. Bash came out of his CPZ again, chasing Sobek down the arena. Sgt. Bash soon caught up with Sobek and grabbed it with his front jaw until Refbot intervened again, giving him a yellow card. Time ran out, and the battle went to the judges.

"The Revolutionist had a great design there, pretty much impenetrable, and Sgt. Bash gave him probably more assistance than he needed."
— Stefan Frank reviewing the highlights

The judges decided to give Sobek the win after a close battle.

"The spinning weapon did some damage right off the bat, but once it was nullified, it basically looked like a big ... birthday cake out there!"
— Mick Foley to the Sobek team after the battle

Winner: Sobek

Semi-Finals

"For the roboteers, it's about nothing less than patriotism. If you're a roboteer from the south right now, the last thing you want, is to get your ass kicked in front of the whole world by some damn yankee! Like me! Long Island New York, yeah! We've got four 'bots left, and they're all out for death! Will the stars and bars fly over the arena, or will old glory reign supreme!"
— Mick Foley before the Semi-Finals

Spike (Union) vs Manta (Confederacy)

Manta vs spike

Manta slams Spike into the arena side wall

At the start, Spike quickly gave chase towards Manta as it drove down the arena, but Manta turned around and rammed into Spikes side, pushing it by the flame pit. After this impact, Spike lost drive on one side and began spinning on the spot, but Manta was not deterred and rammed Spike onto the flame pit. Spike continued to spin, and eventually managed to turn itself off the flame pit. After accidentally turning into an angle grinder, Spike turned around, but Manta charged at it, slamming it against an angle grinder.

"Oh! Another head on collision by the Manta, who's just taking fearless runs right into the side and front of Spike!"
— Stefan Frank as Manta rams into Spike
Manta immobilises spike

Spike is knocked out by Manta's aggressive rams

Spike managed to drive forwards, but as it did so it drove close to Dead Metal's CPZ. It tried turning away, but could not get away from the CPZ, and the House Robot gave it a little push. As Manta closed in, Spike span on the spot, but this did noththing to stop Manta ramming it, driving around it and pushing it across to the arena centre.

"...but Manta is just too fast, too powerful. That wheel doesn't seem to be penetrating spike, but it certainly is pushing him back!"
— Stefan Frank as Manta pushes Spike across the arena

Manta vs

Manta prepares to push Spike into the pit.

Spike slowly retreated across the arena, seemingly aiming for the pit release, but when it stopped to turn around, Manta rammed it into the arena wall. Spike appeared to lose mobility after this slam, as it was barely able to turn, and Manta slammed it with its ramming spike. Spike tried to turn away from the wall, but could only turn a tiny bit, and Manta reversed into it, ramming it against the arena wall. With Spike clearly immobile, Sir Killalot came over and grabbed hold of Spike, crumpling its armour and pushing it into the pit release button.

"I think it could be in the bag here for Manta, because Spike doesn't seem to be moving at all, and the House 'Bots know it! They can smell hydraulic fluid, look at the crushing power of Sir Killalot!"
— Stefan Frank as Sir Killalot grabs the immobile Spike

He spun Spike around, then threw the loanerbot aside, which landed right on the edge of the pit, allowing Manta to push it straight in.

"We have got our first finalist in Robot Wars: Extreme Warriors Civil War! Ladies and gentlemen, no doubt about that one, a clear cut, and may I say, a clear cut victory by Team Manta"
— Mick Foley after the battle

Winner: Manta

6 Million Dollar Mouse breaks Sobek's arm

6 Million Dollar Mouse had the quicker start, driving at Sobek with its blade spinning, but Sobek turned and reversed as 6 Million Dollar Mouse got close, and the blade stopped on impact with the jaw. Sobek pushed against the side of 6 Million Dollar Mouse, and though 6 Million Dollar Mouse hit Sobek's jaw with its spinning blade a couple of times, Sobek kept pushing it around. Sobek managed to get its jaws just below 6 Million Dollar Mouse's spinning blade and pushed it across the arena, but Sobek reversed and 6 Million Dollar Mouse drove away. Sobek charged at 6 Million Dollar Mouse as it reversed, and 6 Million Dollar Mouse tried to turn around to attack Sobek's wheels with its spinning blade, but Sobek kept pushing at 6 Million Dollar Mouse's side and turning, so 6 Million Dollar Mouse drove around Sobek. However, as it turned to use its spinning blade, Sobek reversed into it before it was up to speed, so the blade stopped on impact again.

"The 6 Million Dollar Mouse looks like it should get airborne with that rotor blade, maybe it'd be better off mowing lawns, because he's not doing too much damage on Sobek."
— Stefan Frank on 6 Million Dollar Mouse's spinning blade

6 Million Dollar Mouse buckles the jaws of Sobek

6 Million Dollar Mouse reversed, and Sobek drove at it, but missed its charge and 6 Million Dollar Mouse landed a glancing blow on the side as it drove past. Both robots turned around and drove straight at each other. The two competitors jumped up a little on impact with the spinning blade, but no major damage was done and 6 Million Dollar Mouse drove past, driving to the side of the arena. Sobek reversed after it and 6 Million Dollar Mouse turned, but when Sobek drove into the front, the spinning blade did no damage when it hit the jaw. The blade then hit one of Sobek's wheels, then hit one of the side arms, knocking it askew.

"Oh! The Mouse knocks the self-righting bar off of Sobek! That could be a little bit of disaster if they get flipped upside-down. Fortunately, the Mouse isn't designed for any serious flipping, but that rotor blade's doing enough damage as it is!"

Sobek loses a wheel as 6 Million Dollar Mouse comes in for another attack

6 Million Dollar Mouse reversed and Sobek tried pushing it, and 6 Million Dollar Mouse tried driving around Sobek, but drove into an angle grinder, its nose falling off as it did so. Sobek drove down the arena, and 6 Million Dollar Mouse turned away from the angle grinder and drove after it. 6 Million Dollar Mouse slammed into the front of Sobek, the impact knocking off the side arm that had been knocked askew, then 6 Million Dollar Mouse reversed across the arena as Sobek tried pushing back. Sobek reversed for a charge, and 6 Million Dollar Mouse turned on the spot. Sobek drove at 6 Million Dollar Mouse, and 6 Million Dollar Mouse turned around as Sobek got close, hitting it with its spinning blade, then quickly turning and driving away up the arena. 6 Million Dollar Mouse turned around and drove back at Sobek, hitting the jaw and bending it. Sobek pushed 6 Million Dollar Mouse across the arena, then reversed as 6 Million Dollar Mouse pushed back. 6 Million Dollar Mouse drove across the arena and turned, then waited for Sobek to drive at it. Sobek reversed, but suddenly one of its wheels came loose and fell off.

"...but wait a minute, a wheel comes off of Sobek! Sobek's 4-wheel drive system's quickly reduced to a 3-wheel drive! That may be alright for him, he may still have a little bit of power left in him to go and do some damage..."
— Stefan Frank as a wheel falls of Sobek
Sobek vs 6mdm

Sobek is counted out as it burns on the flame pit

6 Million Dollar Mouse charged into the side of Sobek as it drove down the arena. Sobek kept driving, but was driving unsteadily due to its lost wheel. 6 Million Dollar Mouse drove into the back of it, but its blade was no longer spinning, so it turned away. Sobek reversed, then limped forwards, and Dead Metal came out of his CPZ after it. Dead Metal grabbed it with his pincers and cut into it, but Refbot gave him a yellow card. This did not stop Dead Metal, who dragged Sobek onto the flame pit, but Refbot pushed against Dead Metal, forcing him to return to the CPZ. As Refbot came in to push Dead Metal and Sobek apart, one of Sobek's side arms got caught on Refbot, and Sobek was pulled back as Refbot reversed, but Refbot drove past to separate the two. Sobek was now immobile, and was pushed onto the flame pit, where Refbot began counting it out. With Sobek counted out, Dead Metal and Sir Killalot came over to attack, with Dead Metal cutting into it, before Sir Killalot grabbed it with his claw and pulled it away. Sir Killalot lifted Sobek up and span it around, but nearly overbalanced forwards. Sir Killalot finally took Sobek to the pit and dropped Sobek in, confirming its elimination.

"I gotta tell you, from a Southern point of view, the war was often known as "The War of Northern Aggression", but today, it was all Southern aggresion, everywhere!"

Winner: 6 Million Dollar Mouse

Final

6 Million Dollar Mouse (Confederacy) vs Manta (Confederacy)

"Tonight, history has judged the robots, and it's been brutal, merciless, and cold - and now that's exactly what 6 robots are! They're history! The Northern robots, the Southern robots, they both booted their share of booty, right here tonight on our Civil War mayhem extravaganza, and now we have just two survivors remaining, both from the south. It's the kings of the Confederates, waiting to go head-to-head, waiting to battle for death, destruction, annihilation, or glory!"

Sir Killalot carries 6 Million Dollar Mouse

Manta slammed straight into 6 Million Dollar Mouse, knocking off one of the decorations, and got around the side, then pushed 6 Million Dollar Mouse into Refbot. As 6 Million Dollar Mouse tried to turn away, Manta rammed into its rear and used its spinning disc, together with its pushing power, to flip the other finalist onto its side. 6 Million Dollar Mouse was unable to self-right, so Manta pushed it up the arena into Sir Killalot's CPZ. Sir Killalot picked it up by the blade and paraded it around, carrying it to the flame pit, where he held it over the flames.

"It's a bit of mouse kebab!"

Manta slams into the burning 6 Million Dollar Mouse

With the fur smouldering, Sir Killalot carried 6 Million Dollar Mouse to the floor flipper, where it was thrown across the arena, its self-righting tail breaking in the process. However, 6 Million Dollar Mouse landed back on its wheels, allowing it to drive away. Manta quickly responded by charging at its front and hitting it with its spinning disc. 6 Million Dollar Mouse tried to drive away, but Dead Metal got it in his pincers. 6 Million Dollar Mouse was able to quickly turn away from the House Robot before he could use his saw, and drove into a CPZ, but as it paused, Manta charged at it.

"Look at the damage! It's time for another lawnmower for that Mouse, 'cause he's been mashed, he's been mutilated, he's been mangled!"

Manta pits 6 Million Dollar Mouse

6 Million Dollar Mouse drove down the arena, driving near the pit, and Manta chased after it, but missed its charge. 6 Million Dollar Mouse paused as it struggled to turn, and Manta drove around it, but when Manta used its spinning disc on 6 Million Dollar Mouse, 6 Million Dollar Mouse was able to turn away and drive past Manta. It drove close to the arena wall, and as it struggled to turn it reversed into an angle grinder, and Manta rammed it, pushing it against the wall. 6 Million Dollar Mouse tried to get away from the wall, but couldn't turn, so merely drove back and forth between two angle grinders, before Dead Metal came over and grabbed it. Dead Metal turned 6 Million Dollar Mouse away from the wall, and it weakly reversed away. Manta rammed into the side a couple of times, and 6 Million Dollar Mouse turned towards the pit.

"Manta still at it! Manta, trying to do anything he can do to immobilize the Mouse!"
— Stefan Frank as Manta chases 6 Million Dollar Mouse

Manta rammed into the back of Manta, briefly getting under the back, then 6 Million Dollar Mouse reversed to the bottom of the arena. As it moved forwards, Manta got around the side of 6 Million Dollar Mouse and forced it into the pit, leaving Manta as the winner of the Civil War.

"Well, we've got ourselves a winner of the Civil War Rebecca, but it didn't actually come down to North versus South, a re-enactment of the war of Northern Aggression, came down to South versus South, which pretty much resembled a couple of Rednecks at a good bar brawl!"

Winner: Manta (Confederacy)
