Wanna Go? sends Tremor flying.
Wanna Go?'s first match ever was against Tremor, this match started with Wanna Go spinning up to speed, and rushing Tremor, sending it flying. This hit caused Tremor to stop working, and Wanna Go? hit Tremor again before performing a Victory Dance as Tremor was counted out.
This put Wanna Go? through to the next round where it was scheduled to fight Death by Monkeys. However, Death by Monkeys was unable to compete, and was forced to forfeit the match. This meant that Wanna Go? was now in the quarter-finals where it faced Brazilian vertical spinner, K-Torze.
This match started with both bots spinning up. Wanna Go? struck first popping K-Torze which drove away as Wanna Go? gave chase, and popped it again, this time flipping K-Torze thrice, ripping parts off, and sending it flying into the air on the third hit. Now back on its wheels, K-Torze flipped Wanna Go? ripping off its entire front-right armor panel.
Wanna Go? chucks K-Torze into the air.
K-Torze followed this up by delivering a huge hit that sent Wanna Go? flying halfway across the arena, however it recovered, and delivered a hit that sent K-Torze flying against the rails. Wanna Go? then followed this up by fipping K-Torze on its back, Wanna Go?, still on the agressive attempted another attack on the now inverted K-Torze. However this resulted in K-Torze catching the side of Wanna Go?, and ripping its tire off leaving both robots debilitated.
Now with K-Torze upside down unable to bring its weapon to bear against Wanna Go? which was now moving in circles the fight transformed into both robots gyrodancing around, and failing to connect each time until time ran out. This match was so close that it took longer than normal to decide the results, which ultimately was decided as a split decision in favor of Wanna Go?.
Now in the semi-finals, Wanna Go? next faced former Gold Medalists Federal M.T.,
