Fight 1: Barbaric Response Vs Big Nipper Vs Grim Reaper Vs Kan Opener Big Nipper and Grim Reaper both won on a judges' decision. Fight 2: Gyrobot Vs Jackson Wallop Vs Killerkat Vs *Terrorhurtz *Terrorhurtz were disqualified for not repairing their robot in time for the competition. The #3 seeds were out, so it was down to 3 robots. The 2 spinners ganged up on Killerkat, flipping him onto his side. He couldn't self-right. After the Ref counted Killerkat out, Gyrobot and JW pushed Killerkat onot the flamepit. Killerkat was wearing fur. (Jayne said it would go up like a match) Within the flames was a small heart. It said ""I love Matilda"". Jonathan Pearce said ""Well you won't see her."" Killerkat was pushed onto the floor flipper and shot through the air. Special Event: Featherweight Melee House Robots: Mr. Psycho and Sir Killalot and GROWLER?! This fight was wrong on so many levels! They had the 3 massive super heavweight robots (shown above) who all ganged up on the poor itty bitt
YES! The #5 seeds, the robot that ended Chaos 2's career is here! Dantomkia, an awesome robot with a really awesome flipper. (Shame about the driver though).

The #7 Seeds, 13 Black are back and ready to win! Unlucky for some, will 13 Black be lucky? Fight 1: 13 Black Vs Herbinator Vs Lightning Vs The Alien House Robots: Sgt. Bash and Shunt 13 Black wasn't doing a whole lot of moving in this fight. Herbinator was already on its side and immobilized by Lightning at the start of the fight. Lightning pushed 13 Black towards the pit. Both robots nearly fell in! Herbinator was counted out and axed by Shunt. Lightning then flipped 13 Black against the side wall, but Alien had been immobilized as well. They were pushed onto the Drop Zone, where a large buoy fell down on top of it. Cease was called and 13 Black and Lightning move on! Fight 2: Gravity Vs Hodaf the Bad Vs Hydra Vs Thor House Robots: Cassius Chrome and Sgt Bash This fight was unbelieveable. Gravity, the awesome Dutch flipper robot was launching Hydra all around the arena. Thor rammed Hodaf into the arena wall. Gravity then tried to flip Hydra out of the arena! Hydra went flying
The UK champs, Tornado are back and now have new interchangable weapons: A spinning drum (like the disc, only fatter), an electric lifter, and the scoop now equiped with a spinning chain weapon. Can they blow away the competition? We'll soon find out!

Can they win the 7th Wars and take home the 5,000? Fight 1: Diabolus Vs Major Tom Vs Tsunami (German Entry) Vs X-Terminator (seated 11) This fight didn't last very long. At the start of the fight, Major Tom's head predictably fell off! X-Terminator then used their new spinning disc, ripping up Diabolus and sending their spinning disc flying off. The German robot, Tsunami then flipped Major Tom out of the arena and into the Plexiglass wall! Then X-Terminator continued ripping up Diabolus and threw them against the arena side wall. Tsunami flipped Diabolus out as well! YEAH! X-Terminator and Tsunami move on to the next round!
Fight 1: Ming Dienasty (Seeded 15) Vs Ceros Vs Scraptosaur Vs Metalis House Robots: Dead Metal and Growler At the start of the match Ceros flipped the #15 seeds, Ming Dienasty over. Ming tried to use their drill to self-right, but had a little trouble. Scraptosaur then flipped Metalis over. Ming was finally able to self-right, but Metalis couldn't. Refbot counted them out. Ming dug their drill into Scraptosaur, but then Ceros flipped them again and pressed the Pit release button. The Refbot pushed Metalis down the pit just as time ran out. The judges decided to let Ceros and Scraptosaur go through. Fight 2: Revolution 3 Vs St Agro Vs Scrapper Vs Mega Hurts LT House Robots: Dead Metal and Growler St. Agro flipped Mega Hurts over, but Mega Hurts was able to self-right. However they drove sideways over the flame pit, burning out their motors. St. Agro then chucked Scrapper out of the arena. Revolution pushed Mega Hurts into Growler who spun a 360 with Mega Hurts in his grasp. Revo
