Whomp's first and presumably only opponent was Yinzer. Whomp stayed in its corner and spun its weapon up as Yinzer reversed towards it spinning up its own weapon. Whomp hit Yinzer then ran away to spin up again but it was too late as Yinzer approached it and flipped it with its drum.

Whomp and Paradigm collide
Whomp's first match was against lifting robot Paradigm. Paradigm rushed towards the spinning Whomp and pushed it into the wall seriously damaging the weapon of Whomp. Paradigm tried lowering its scoop to go on another assault but unfortunately it lowered it too much and got stuck on it unable to move correctly. For the rest of the match Whomp pushed Paradigm into the wall a few times until the match ended and won by judges decision.
Paradigm gets stuck
Whomp is almost flipped by Sound Wave
Whomp's next match was against Sound Wave. Whomp nervously backed away from Sound Wave to spin up as Sound Wave aggressively tried to hit it with its disc missing a few times before Whomp got up to a high speed and they both collided with Sound Wave simply bouncing off the wheel guards then Sound Wave retreated to spin up again and charged into Whomp hitting the weapon and the front of the bot sending Whomp flying with a sped up weapon. Sound Wave hit it again closer to the wall and Whomp managed to get up to full spinning speed and the two bots charged into each other weapon to weapon sending Whomp flying into the wall almost flipping it over and sending a few screws off the robot. Speed Wave hit it 5 more times with glancing blows immobilising Whomp.
