Both machines immediately charge in towards each other, Thor sliding across the arena floor as it turns to try and get in on May Tracks' armour, but Frank counters by reversing to the right, avoiding the first slam of Thor's hammer, and now drives in on its red opponent, wedging in underneath the front corner. Thor is able to get traction on the arena floor, though, and comes down off the flipper of May Tracks, before driving forward slightly and firing the hammer as the robots collide...just missing the top armour of its opponent though, grazing down the side of May Tracks' Hardox bodyshell as Jason shakes his head in frustration.
May Tracks comes on the offensive again, turning to get just underneath Thor and driving onwards, pushing the struggling opponent in a wide arc, and then...
FLIP! Thor is thrown into the air, rolling end over end and coming in to bounce gently off the arena floor - the hammer fires, though, seemingly remaining in position as the rest of the robot somersaults around it back onto its wheels. May Tracks' flipper retracts in a rush of vented gas, as Frank leans up in his control booth, powering forward to retain the advantage against Thor, but Thor gets away, moving in reverse to stop by the edge of the flame pit, before coming in on another charge, as May Tracks turns to face the approaching opposition before applying full power to both Lynch drive motors...the machines collide yet again, and as May Tracks' front wedge slides undernath Thor's scoop, Thor's hammer swings over the robot again!
FLIP! Thor's weapon makes contact with the top panel of the flipper as the machine is thrown over the top of May Tracks, caught on one of the spikes, and lands on the arena floor just behind Frank's machine, which turns to face Thor just as it swings the hammer to selfright again. Thor scrambles back on its wheels facing May Tracks, which is broadside on, and rams in on the side of its opponent, the front side plate of Thor catching on the corner of May Tracks, and slowly begins to push against the tracked machine...wheels and tracks spinning, Thor edging May Tracks slowly onto the flame pit as the struggling of its opponent causes the pair to swing from side to side, the tracks chewing up the warning stripes around the flame grid...the titanic struggle continues, both roboteers concentrating and pushing their machines hard, as May Tracks continues to swing the advancing Thor sideways, firing its flipper to try and jolt the hammer machine off the side, but Thor finds room under May Tracks' side as it jumps off the ground from the recoil, and surges over the flames to pin May Tracks up against the arena wall, before bringing the mighty hammer down onto the flipper of its opponent!
May Tracks' armour isn't damaged much by the assault, but it's still pinned in there as Thor swings the hammer back for another go...Dead Metal comes in towards the action, the contestant machines being on the lip of the lower patrol zone, but backs up almost in fear as the hammer comes down again, bending one of the spikes on the top of May Tracks as the whole arena shakes slightly. Thor reverses back for another attack, and May Tracks creeps slowly backwards, trying to escape, but hitting the house robot who awaits. Dead Metal comes out and pushes May Tracks away, back on to the flame pit, as Thor comes in...the clock begins to tick down, and Frank tries to steer his robot away from the hammer, but is pushing his controls madly - it doesn't look like May Tracks has drive on one side, and as it moves in a slow circle Thor comes in again, getting under the rear corner, and summons up the energy to slam the hammer down on May Tracks again, stopping it in its tracks just before the judges decide the winner!
CEASE
Thor reverses away from its opponent as the flames flicker again, and it doesn't look like May Tracks has any power left - but the match will go to the judges...
DAMAGE: Thor took almost no damage aside from cosmetic scratches; May Tracks had one drive motor become unbolted as a result of the hammering, collected several dents, and broke a battery connection in the last attack: May Tracks 0, Thor 5 (x4=20)
AGGRESSION: At the start they were equally aggressive, and Thor just won out at the end: May Tracks 2 (x3=6), Thor 3 (x3=9)
CONTROL: Thor dominated May Tracks late on, but was flipped around quite a bit earlier: May Tracks 2 (x2=4), Thor 3 (x2=6)
STYLE: Thor's self righting was stylish, but May Tracks clinches it because of its acrobatic flipping of Thor (not that it matters
): May Tracks 3, Thor 2

Exertion immediately leaves the starting area to come straight at Lethal Injection, which doesn't seem to quite know how to handle its opponent, turning sideways to try and spin the disc up, and allows the left side wheel to take the force of Exertion's attack. Exertion is in under the axlebot now, pushing it sideways towards the arena wall, and Danny tries to drive his robot off the front scoop, sliding down as one of the prongs hits the ground, and the raised front of Exertion pushes Lethal Injection end over end, and...
CRASH! Lethal Injection is thrown upwards, catching Exertion's front with one of the spikes as it does so, as the disc hits the floor running in reverse at full speed and sending both robots jumping into the air, sparks flying. Exertion drives straight back in, catching the still-bouncing Lethal Injection on the scoop again, and pushes it into the wall, giving both machines a jolt as the spinning disc of Lethal Injection is stopped by the side. Andy looks up at the scene through the Lexan, steering Exertion to get around the other side of Lethal Injection, which doesn't seem able to move cleanly, one of the front spikes impaled on the side hinge of Exertion's front scoop, and the large wheels of Danny's machine provide little resistance on the arena floor as Exertion powers forward, the pit looming ahead. The disc on Lethal Injection spins wildly, repeatedly sparking as it glances off the titanium front scoop of Exertion, but the struggling is for naught as Exertion turns, lowering the scoop and leaving one of Lethal Injection's large wheels hanging over the edge of the pit! Danny realises it's over now, pulling back the aerial on his controls as he shakes his head, and Exertion comes in with one final ram on the slowly fading Lethal Injection, sending it toppling down onto the tyres and into the smoke.

Exertion once more starts out quickly, coming across towards Thor, which turns to one side to avoid the charge, just being caught on the rear corner by the speeding rammer. Thor moves out, and turns towards Exertion, which backs off cautiously, and then suddenly comes straight at Thor, driving the front actuated scoop into the ground to try and get under the front of Thor...and as the two collide, Exertion's greater momentum wins out and it wedges beneath the front of its opponent, but the hammer swings over from the top of Thor, slamming onto the Hardox top panel with some force!
Exertion doesn't seem harmed by the attack though, and now Andy applies full throttle to the Magmotor drive to push Thor across the arena, forcing the red robot sideways across the front scoop as it propels both itself and Thor straight into the lower patrol zone, past the house robots. Exertion slams Thor against the arena wall, backing away as Sargeant Bash comes in, gently singing the top of Thor's weapon as it tries to escape, turning away as Exertion comes in again, getting under the right side of Thor and ramming it again into the corner, the arena shaking slightly as it does so. Jason looks worried, trying to back Thor out of the patrol zone, as Bash rams into the side of the machine with the front blade while scorching Thor some more, and Thor pivots around...and swings the hammer right onto the top of the house robot, catching on the flamethrower as it does so...and the flamethrower comes off! There is a big dent in Bash's rear cover, and the defunct weaponry is hanging by cables alone...Jason is cheering, the audience are pleased as well, but the joy is short lived as Sir Killalot looms behind Thor, Exertion coming again to shunt Thor into him, and the lance works underneath the rear of Thor, plucking the machine into the air! Holding his trophy aloft, Killalot begins to approach the flame pit, dangling Thor from the left arm, but the hammer swings over, and the resulting force unbalances Killalot, the house robot tipping forward, and Thor slides away from the lance, crashing upside down onto the floor!
Exertion wastes no time in coming back to slam into the beached Thor, pushing it up the arena towards the upper right corner, but halfway through the journey Thor's body rotates around the hammer as it selfrights, sending it cartwheeling over Exertion's body and landing facing its opponent, and Jason drives Thor back in on the attack, getting beneath the reversing Exertion and bringing the hammer down again on the top armour, an almighty crash sounding from the impact. Exertion gets traction in the scoop and gets away, and Andrew thinks quickly to get back in on Thor, which turns just as Exertion rams into it again, retracting the hammer as its opponent begins to push, retaining traction with the floor due to the shape despite being over Thor's front scoop, and slowly winning the traction contest, pushing back against the drive of Thor, who brings its hammer down again, just missing the wheels of Exertion but hammering down on the side armour, flicking Exertion away to the side in the continued activity.
Exertion is underneath again, wedged under the front corner of Thor and pushing it upwards, taking its opponents wheels off the ground as it slams Thor into the upper corner of the arena, as previously intended, and backs away for another slam...Thor swings the hammer back into position, but remains still in its position - Exertion comes in again, bashing into Thor, and up in the cherry picker Jason is pushing his controls in every direction, seemingly to no effect however - the hammer swings down again, scaring the house robots somewhat, but there is no drive left in Thor, it would seem, and it is stranded up by the arena sides, as Exertion spins around in the center of the arena - Andy thinks he's won, and it would certainly seem that way, Thor immobilised by the slams of Exertion, and Jason sportingly applauds the victors, setting his controls down on the shelf in front of him.
