Eventually, both spinners get involved with Neon getting its blade underneath Legion and slashing the undercarriage while Cobalt attempts to grab hold of BANE. Legion rams into Naughty Snake, who still remains inactive away from the main battle, but managing to get a few hits with its spinner. As Cobalt continues to attack BANE, Neon swoops around and as with the previous round smashes into Cobalt, sending both robots flying across the arena.

Legion gets another chance to flip BANE, but only slightly lifts it as BANE gets away and drives underneath Naughty Snake before ramming it against the side of Legion. Legion, gets away but is pursued by Neon. Legion rams itself into the side wall, wedging itself upwards as Neon slashes the bottom side of Legion.

As Legion is about to be counted out, it begins to move again, resuming the battle. Legion rams into BANE and pushes it into Neon, BANE attempts to move out of the way but is smashed by Neon who bounces upwards before a second hit sends the two robots spinning wildly apart from each other. Legion is then attacked by Naughty Snake and Neon who team up, causing minor damage before the two spinners turn against each other with Naughty Snake thrusting Neon upwards. BANE returns to the central fight as Naughty Snake and Neon continue their gruelling match ultimately one major impact sends both robots flying across the arena. Naughty Snake is upturned and attempts to get moving. BANE turns as Neon comes forward with another attack, this time damaging BANE severely.
