Skarab competed in Heat F, and was the fifth robot in this heat to negotiate the Gauntlet. It steadily drove off the turntable and took the right-hand route, being momentarily turned round by [[Sergeant Bash]] before negotiating past him. [[Dead Metal]] blocked Skarab’s path as Sergeant Bash chased it down the route, but Skarab steadily nudged Dead Metal away to reach the end zone, finishing third in the results table and qualifying for the Trial stage.

Alongside the other five surviving competitors, Skarab fought in the Snooker trial, now fitted with its side arms. It and [[The Blob]] immediately drove out of their pockets in an attempt to collect balls, but Skarab turned and backed away as the former scattered the balls around the arena. Eventually, Skarab collected one ball, potted it just after [[Prince of Darkness]] potted its first ball, and deliberately stopped in its pocket, where it remained for the rest of the trial.

While Prince of Darkness would eventually emerge victorious with six balls, Skarab still qualified for the Arena stage with one ball, after The Blob, [[T.R.A.C.I.E.]] and [[Eubank the Mouse]] all failed to score at all.

In its Semi-Final, Skarab faced The Blob. Both robots trundled towards and bumped each other in the opening moments, before Skarab briefly pushed The Blob back. The Blob retaliated by ramming Skarab back before Sergeant Bash intervened and attacked it. Skarab responded by swinging its hammer, but missed, and pushed The Blob against the side rails, where it became apparent that The Blob had lost mobility. Sergeant Bash and [[Shunt]] came in to attack The Blob, with Skarab retreating and spinning around in victory as ‘cease’ was called.

In the Heat Final, Skarab faced [[T.R.A.C.I.E.]], with [[Killertron|Killertron’s]] mace added to the end of its hammer. It immediately trundled towards T.R.A.C.I.E., but was speared side-on by one of the latter’s spikes and became stuck. The House Robots came in to separate both robots, with Skarab spinning to break itself free. As it did so, T.R.A.C.I.E.’s spike tore part of its front armour off before T.R.A.C.I.E. drove under Skarab’s mace and speared its front end as Skarab attempted to push it back in return.
{{Quote|And up against it that mace, is like a little schoolground conker against a juggernaut!|Jonathan Pearce assesses the effectiveness of Skarab’s mace against T.R.A.C.I.E.}} 
Skarab spun around in the middle of the arena as T.R.A.C.I.E. drove into and impaled Sergeant Bash, before getting attacked by [[Matilda]], whose chainsaw cut off the radio control mast for its hammer. It escaped as T.R.A.C.I.E. rammed Matilda away, and continued spinning around until ‘cease’ was called. The battle went to a judges’ decision, which unanimously went in favour of T.R.A.C.I.E., eliminating Skarab from the First Wars.
