Gentlemen... it's on!!!

We find Revolver Ocelot already spinning up his blade, only to get a rude welcome from Heat C finalist Wedge Devolution as the Scottish vet quickly stops the blade, earning a very minor scuff to the front plate! Gehenna 2, about to follow, seems to think Wedge Devo has things under control, as he tackles a different opponent - Mobile Failure 2.5! So does that mean Black Panther and Flick of the Wrist have a go at each other? Black Panther seems to think so, because he guns it after the Dutch Tornado-a-like, but Martijn's like "nah, sorry bro" as he also attacks Mobile Failure, and Tracy is subjected to a double dose of bullying from the European bots! Desperate to save his fellow axebot, Mr. Holt directs his machine towards the back end of Flick of the Wrist, but Martijn is keeping tabs on the Black Panther's progress, and does a swift little manoeuvre that sends him over the front edge of Black Panther as Alex quickly tries to axe him, and finds air instead! But the Flick distraction is all Gehenna needed, and Mobile Failure is finding its world somewhat lopsided, and then VERY lopsided, as Gehenna's flipper opens and turns the Canadian bot over! Mobile Failure tries to right itself, but finds Revolver Ocelot flicked on top of it as Wedge Devo comes back into the fray, now trying to herd both of the robots to where the arena bumper is!

As this is going on, Black Panther and Flick of the Wrist are indeed having a spat with the other, as Martijn does his best to try and avoid the front of Black Panther. Unfortunately for Martijn, the plucky axebot is more than able to keep up with the red brick and finally, with a nice WHACK, Alex lands Black Panther's axe directly into Flick of the Wrist's top panel! And believe you me, that panel puncture is massive! Razer himself couldn't have broken through more directly or cleanly! The problem? Flick of the Wrist is completely fine, or seems to be! Black Panther possibly missed the vitals, perhaps? Well whatever the case, Flick now uses the fact that Black Panther's axe is stuck in the armour, to drive Black Panther all the way across the arena and into the waiting jaws of Rorschach, who's seen their true faces and doesn't give a damn. Down comes the crushing arm, right over top of Black Panther's body and into Black Panther's front convex wedge! But what's underneath the front armour is 3cm of titanium foam and as Rorschach's crushing beak sinks in deeper, it's becoming apparent that, like Flick, Black Panther is working just fine! And finally, he pulls the axe free! But he can't go anywhere since Rorschach is chewing on him, so... WHACK! Black Panther gives Flick another shot as Martijn backs his machine off, and manages to hit one of the forks, though not really damaging it. Finally, after some finagling, Rorschach seems bored and lets Panther of the Black variety skitter off to prowl another fight.

Wedge Devo's attempts to shove two robots towards the arena bumper, meanwhile, have not quite come to pass, as Mobile Failure is trying to shunt Revolver Ocelot off of it using the axe, and every time she does, it jolts them a little further off-course from the bumper... and Gehenna violently intrudes! From the side, Gehenna slides in under the Mobile Failure and pushes it away, hoisting Revolver Ocelot away from Mobile Failure in the process! Grateful for the opportunity, Josh revs up the blade on Revolver Ocelot as Wedge Devolution now gangs up on Mobile Failure, and now the flustered Canadian has three angry robots on her case, and her own is on its back! As Mobile Failure tries to self-right out of this situation, in comes the American spinner from Mobile Failure's other side and with a great CRASH!!!, snags a corner and mashes Mobile Failure against the wall, the corner only taking a minor dent but still surely rattling the Failure's innards about! Gehenna wheels about as Wedge Devo tosses the Canadian robot over, and now sends its little drum to work! 5kJ of energy is still enough to knock Mobile Failure around a bit, and though the drum doesn't really do much to the 4mm Ti/V alloy, it's proving to be a great annoyance to Tracy, who cannot get her robot to self-right! Steve seems to want to take matters into his own... er, wedge, and starts shoving Mobile Failure towards the arena bumper, but finds his progress halted by an unusually eager Revolver Ocelot! Another great CRASH!!! later and Mobile Failure is now missing its front wedge! It may be made of tough material, but armour's only as good as what holds it on, and Ocelot has proved that!

Wedge Devolution is just about to make good on his threat to throw Mobile Failure to the arena bumper, which is now alarmingly close, when Black Panther suddenly slams in from the side and starts smacking the everloving peat out of Steve's flipper! WHACK! Dent! WHACK! Hole! WHACK! Deeper hole! But someone's not going to let Black Panther get away with that, and with a storm of wheels Flick of the Wrist reasserts his position as the hunter by slamming in turn into the back of Black Panther and knocking him out of the way of Wedge Devolution! Gehenna gets on Black Panther's case as well, as Wedge Devo shakes away the cobwebs... and finds his quarry has escaped! Not for long, however, as Revolver Ocelot is keeping Mobile Failure pegged in there with another massive CRASH!!!, grabbing the previously damaged corner and spinning Mobile Failure back into Wedge Devolution's flipping plate! And over Mobile Failure goes! And... there's no evidence of self-righting! What has happened? Black Panther, Gehenna, and Flick of the Wrist have all started assaulting one another, but it becomes evident to Steve, Josh, and especially Tracy that the power to Mobile Failure's axe has been lost. The tires are spinning, but the weapon is gone! Figuring his job is done, Josh drives Revolver Ocelot out to mid-arena as The Watcher, our non-beloved referee, hauls himself over to count out the C&B4 runner-up, as Tracy's run in the mini-tournament comes to a sudden and most horrifying end!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!

CEASE!!!

Mobile Failure is eliminated!
