Black Hole and Tsunami began the battle by attacking Absolut Krankhaft, a combination of the powerful discs and flipper succeeding in overturning the Dutch machine. Tsunami then righted Absolut Krankhaft, who was then pursued by Black Hole, who chased Absolut Krankhaft into the pit release button. Absolut Krankhaft then attempted to ram the rear of Tsunami, but Tsunami quickly turned and flipped Absolut Krankhaft back over again. Black Hole then attacked, causing damage to the rear of Absolut Krankhaft.

Prior to the beginning of the battle, Dell Dog drove over to the side of the arena to allow Derek Foxwell & captain Stephan Duhl to remove the weapon's locking mechanism which had been left on the robot.

The two robots began by dodging one another, Hydrotec did manage to get underneath Black Hole but could not capitalise. Black Hole then managed to attack with the discs, succeeding in buckling the front of the Hydrotec’s flipper. Black Hole continued to attack; however the two robots got stuck to each other. Black Hole was able to break away and continued to attack the Swiss robot, which broke down in the middle of the arena.

Hydrotec took more punishment from the discs of Black Hole before the Refbot came in to count Hydrotec out. Shunt and Mr. Psycho both came in to attack, Shunt puncturing the top armour, and Mr. Psycho landing two heavy hammer blows. Shunt put Hydrotec onto the arena flipper, the impact knocking some top armour off. Shunt then knocked the pit release button and pushed Hydrotec in, misjudging and falling in himself.

Winner: Black Hole

Not Perfect vs Tsunami

Tsunami then tried to push Not Perfect into Dead Metal, eventually succeeding in doing so by flipping it back over. The House Robot grabbed Not Perfect and very nearly pitted it, but instead pushed it into Mr. Psycho. Not Perfect span away, but was again attacked by Tsunami, who levered Not Perfect up, but let it down again. Tsunami flipped Not Perfect again, but by now the flipper was running out of power, so it only lifted Not Perfect over the top of Tsunami. Not Perfect fought back, pushing Tsunami into the flame pit, but the fight back was too late, as cease was called. The jury voted to give the battle to Tsunami.

Winner: Tsunami
