International Inferno

Manta maximill — Manta sends MaxiMill flying

Panic attack manta — Panic Attack lifts Manta

The four robots moved off their starting positions - both MaxiMill and Flensburger Power were slow, but Manta sped around and rammed into MaxiMill. MaxiMill's weapon had charged, but Manta's was not spinning at all. Manta was not hindered by this and quickly reversed MaxiMill onto the flame pit. MaxiMill was spinning on the flames until Manta rammed it into the side wall. Meanwhile, Panic Attack had been pushing Flensburger Power around, and the now unoccupied Manta rammed it onto the flames as well. Flensburger Power appeared to have broken down, but MaxiMill came back to life and re-entered the battle. Manta pushed into it again, ramming it into an unoccupied CPZ. MaxiMill moved out to escape, but was immediately boxed in by Shunt and Matilda, the latter of who pushed it into the CPZ and struck with its heavy flywheel. Manta and Panic Attack turned to each other, but Panic Attack was the successful attacker, lifting Manta up with its forks and slipping into a position beneath Manta's disc.

"And Manta - a ray of hope for the USA - I think not! You are now impaled on those forks and there is no way out from there."

— Jonathan Pearce

MaxiMill Counted Out — Refbot counts out the crumpled MaxiMill

Panic attack pits manta — Panic Attack pits Manta

Panic Attack dragged Manta around and into the pit release as Refbot counted out Flensburger Power. Panic Attack almost lost its grip on Manta when it drove over the closed pit, then eventually lowered Manta back down. Manta charged into Panic Attack, slamming it aside, but with its disc still not working, it was unable to do any damage. Meanwhile, Refbot moved over and counted out MaxiMill, who had broken down after being attacked by Shunt and Matilda. Shunt placed MaxiMill on the floor flipper, and it was hurled through the air, its disc breaking off on impact with the floor. Panic Attack then got beneath Manta again, lifting it completely up. Matilda then pressed the pit release, and Manta, who was resting on the pit, began to descend with it. Panic Attack briefly got stuck with Manta on top, but used its srimech panel to shrug Manta off and into the pit properly.

Maximill flensburger power — Matilda herds together the broken Germans and Dutch

"Go on, Matilda, nudge that- Yeah, that's what I was going to suggest, nudge that tyre, because that opens up the pit to end the stalemate... Manta is right on the lip of defeat here! On the very edge - how on earth are they holding on? They're not holding on any longer, they're in the pit. And Panic Attack, and Kim Davies, have triumphed in the International Inferno."

— Jonathan Pearce

Flensburger Power was hurled by the floor flipper, and Shunt and Matilda pushed it into MaxiMill. Cease was called, and Panic Attack was confirmed as the victor.

Winner: Panic Attack

"Well they came to Britain with their suntan cream. But they got tanned, on Robot Wars Extreme."

-*Jonathan Pearce, Craig Charles and Julia Reed all referred to the competitors as "champions". In reality, Panic Attack had finished the most recent UK Championship in the second round of the semi-finals, whilst Manta had lost in the semi-finals of the US Championship. Meanwhile, the first Dutch Series and the only series of German Robot Wars had yet to be filmed, but Maximill and Flensburger Power would not be successful in those wars (Flensburger Power did not even enter).
