Gnasher scores
Gnasher originally attempted to enter the main competition of the Third Wars, but was not selected. However, it would appear as a competitor in the Robotic Soccer side competition. Gnasher was drawn up against Malfunktion in its qualifier, and immediately raced for the ball as Malfunktion struggled to get going. However, it was blocked by Dead Metal, only to collect the ball and send it rebounding into the goal, allowing it to proceed to the final.

Gnasher is flipped over in the final
In the final, Gnasher faced Velocirippa, The General and main series competitor Evil Weevil. It started by attacking Matilda, who blocked the ball and accidentally passed it to Evil Weevil in doing so. Gnasher received the ball from The General, before being tackled by Matilda again and flipped over by Evil Weevil, eliminating it from the final. Evil Weevil would go on to win the final and the Robotic Soccer competition.
