Tyke had a rather controversial run throughout its German Series campaign. Battling various technical issues along the way, it managed to outlast Golem for a place in the Grand Final, before being outclassed by Tsunami and Son of Armageddon. Tyke is now desperate to prove that it can reach the UK Grand Final, without requiring significant luck throughout this campaign. However, it will have to contend with former Dutch Grand Finalist, Twisted Metal Evo. So, LET THE WARS BEGIN!
Round 1
Tyke (24) vs Ruf Ruf Dougal vs Demolition Man vs Twisted Metal Evo
Ruf Ruf Dougal and Twisted Metal Evo. Jimlaad's true favourite robot may earn a ticket to the next round! Indeed, as much as Tyke did put a bit more of a fight than its reputation suggests, one cannot ignore the various technical problems that troubled it in the melee and against Tsunami. Twisted Metal Evo, heck Ruf Ruf Dougal based on the damage it caused to Pendragon, will cause significant harm to the yellow seed, which I doubt it can recover from. Meanwhile, Demolition Man hardly withstood offence from any of its opponents, and I am confident a single blow from Twisted Metal Evo will be enough for the knockout. Say what you will about Ruf Ruf Dougal, it survived a decent amount of punishment, more so than the seed or Demolition Man, meaning it will survive the Dutch spinner the longest.

Twisted Metal EVO and Ruf Ruf Dougal. I would think that the horizontal spinner knows better than to go after the robot covered in fluff, even the jokiest of jokebots can prove an entanglement threat if you don't know what the decór is. It may want to form an alliance with the fellow Dutchman Tyke, but when push comes to shove, it's a safer and easier kill than Dougal. Oddly I think that Demolition Man would probably beat Dougal in a head-to-head, but in a melee it should get killed off. TOAST 09:12, August 14, 2020 (UTC)
Ruf Ruf Dougal and Twisted Metal Evo. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA YES! Tyke is screwed. Being the seed it will be targeted by TME and torn apart with maybe two hits. Ruf Ruf showed that it could take a beating, while I doubt Demolition Man will survive long against the spinner and evil spike. Ruf Ruf's loft insulation will fall apart easily under attack from TME, but it isn't the right stuff to clog the spinner so TME can keep fighting after tearing that out. TME to dominate, Ruf Ruf to survive long enough to outlive the other two. Jimlaad43(talk) 09:17, August 14, 2020 (UTC)
Ruf Ruf Dougal and Twisted Metal Evo - I'm so glad Stinger won, in fact I'm gonna challenge myself to try and get Stinger to win the series...Meanwhile this fight, well Tyke will either not move or get easily immobilised while Demolition Man will be easily KO'd from a hit. So yeah.Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 09:32, August 14, 2020 (UTC)
Hydra and Hyperactive. Unfortunately for Spin Doctor, I doubt it can survive by holding back. Hydra would probably find it an ideal first target rather than the two vertical spinners, so similar to it flipping over Axe-C-Dent 2, a flip of doom will start Hydra's campaign on a high. I think it could also bully around the powerful yet easy-to-push spinners in The Bat and Hyperactive, making it the clear favourite here. As for the two spinners, while Hyperactive's disc can be knocked off by The Bat, the former has better overall reliability than the latter. Henceforth, even if The Bat breaks its opponent's disc, a good attack from Hydra will cause all sorts of havoc to it, breaking down and allowing the two "Hy" machines to qualify at its expense.

Hyperactive and The Bat. I'm going to make things messy straight away. I think the two US vertical spinners will form an alliance and team up. Hyperactive never sought out a fight with Cyclone, the opposite was true. Against these Brits, particularly Hydra who could take either one of them out with potentially just one flip, I think they'll collaborate until Hydra is finished off. This does depend on The Bat not breaking down in the meantime, but if it holds together, I think they can do this. TOAST 09:17, August 14, 2020 (UTC)
Hydra and The Bat. Spin Doctor is just noise in this for the others to avoid. Hyperactive seems like the larger threat to Hydra and I can envision it being targeted and flipped by Hydra first, with The Bat following and trying to take out Hydra, but it being too late as the other two are removed first.
