Xenophobia strikes Spatula.
Spatula's first match was against Xenophobia. This fight started with Xenophobia spinning up to speed, and immediatly delivering a blow to the side of Spatula. Xenophobia then spun back up, and delivered a second blow which sent sparks flying.
Spatula then attempted to get under Xenophobia, however Xenophobia outdrove Spatula, and delivered a hit to its side, sending it spinning away. Spatula then got ahold of Xenophobia, and attempted to drive it into the wall. However Xenophobia backed off at the last second, and Spatula drove into the wall where it got stuck, and the match was paused to free Spatula despite attempts by Xenophobia to free it in fight.
Xenophobia delivers the knockout blow to Spatula.
After the match resumed it became clear that the earlier attempts to free Spatula by Xenophobia had done some damage to Spatula, as it was now only mobile on the right, hand side. Xenophobia then spun up, and slammed into it again, after this Spatula drove over to the wall where it seemingly died. Spatula then spun up to full speed, and slammed its opponent against the wall, and after a few more attacks, Spatula was counted out.
This put Spatula in the loser's bracket where it faced Bling Bling, it won this match, and advanced to the next round where it faced Xenophobia yet again. This fight started with Spatula almost immediatly stopping Xenophobia's spinner, and slamming it into the wall, from that point on the match turned into a shoving match with neither robot gaining the upper hand, Xenophobia won on a close judges decision, meaning that Spatula was eliminated from the competition.
