Bronco

## Overview

This is a stock Hexbug Bronco with no modifications except in season 1 where the front wedges were glued in. Bronco did poorly in Hexbug Hell season 1 where it lost two fights in a row to Witch Doctor V3 and Tombstone. It was selected for BYOB Disc vs the world where it managed to flip the BYOB Disc for a KO for the world team. It then returned for Hexbug Hell Quarantine Edition where it went on an OOTA rampage, managing to throw out both Hexbug Hell Golden Nut holders in one match. Bronco then returned for the Hexbug Hell Quarantine Annihilator where it actually won the entire thing.

## Fight history

### **Hexbug Hell season 1**

#### Bronco vs Witch Doctor V3

The fight started very poorly for Bronco as they could not turn much at all which meant they could not match Witch Doctor's speed and maneuverability. When Witch Doctor was able to be flipped, the flips were very poorly timed which meant that they missed. Eventually Bronco managed to get a flip on Witch Doctor which landed them against the wall, but they escaped. The rest of the fight consisted of Bronco being poorly driven and Witch Doctor outmaneuvering them and getting good pushes on Bronco. The fight went the distance and Witch Doctor won a unanimous judges decision.

#### Bronco vs Tombstone

The fight started with Tombstone spinning up and losing it's top panel. Tombstone got around to the side of Bronco (due to Bronco's poor driving) and took off the back wedge. Tombstone then hit the wall and lost it's remaining panels. Tombstone then got stuck on the low inner wall a bunch of times and was freed by Bronco trying to get an OOTA. The fight went the full 3 minutes and Tombstone won by judges decision and Bronco was eliminated.

### **BYOB Disc vs the world**

#### Bronco vs BYOB Disc

Bronco started with a box rush and took off one of the panels. The disc then exploded off the front wedges. The disc then brought the pain to Bronco and took off the rear wedge. Bronco didn't give up though, it kept going and flipped the disc. The disc was counted out and Bronco won by KO.

### **Hexbug Hell Quarantine Edition**

#### Bronco vs Thunder and Lightning

(A/N: Bronco was down a wedge for this fight because it was broken and needed to be glued back together)

The fight started with Bronco closing the flipper playing dead in order to draw the twin verticals in. Thunder and Lightning approached with their weapons cranking and tried to free Bronco. That proved to be Lightning's fatal mistake as it reversed onto Bronco's waiting flipper and was flipped. Bronco the repositioned itself in a corner and waited. Thunder came in to have a look (the drive demons struck again) but was then flipped by Bronco. As celebration, Bronco flipped Thunder and Lightning out of the arena as they were being counted out.

#### Rumble 4

The fight started with everyone priming their weapons. Mr. Shellshock made the mistake of trying to rush Bronco head on and was flipped in its debeut fight. The BYOB Axe went after Blacksmith while Bronco tried to flip SOKhaos. Bronco then flipped the BYOB Flipper which then self righted. Both the BYOB Axe and Bronco went after SOKhaos which was flipped, but able to drive inverted. Blacksmith then got under Bronco, but didn't fire the hammer. Bronco then got in position to throw Mr. Shellshock out. Mr. Shellshock was then thrown out of the arena in its debeut fight. Bronco then tried to flip the BYOB Flipper again, but missed and changed its target to SOKhaos and tried to throw it out but failed due to mistiming the flip. While this was happening, Blacksmith was lifted by the BYOB Flipper and reversed into Mr. Shellshock's corpse. Blacksmith hooked its hammer into Mr. Shellshock's cup which detached it from the chassis while simultaneously getting stuck on the wall of the arena. Bronco then went after the BYOB Axe, but failed to flip it and went after the BYOB Axe instead. Bronco almost managed to flip the Golden Nut holder out of the arena, getting it stuck on top of the wall, but it managed to escape due to the axe swinging. Bronco then flipped Blacksmith who instantly self righted and continued fighting. It was the final 10 seconds and everyone got desperate. Bronco decided to pull a double and flip SOKhaos out of the arena in its debeut fight. The fight went to a judges decision where Bronco won due to the amount of KOs it got during the fight.

#### Rumble 5

The fight started with the drums spinning up while Bronco primed its flipper. Bronco and the BYOB Orange Drum preformed a pincer attack on Minotaur which removed its top panel. The robots spent some time trying to orient themselves before Minotaur took off the BYOB Orange Drum's weapon. Now weaponless, the BYOB Orange Drum couldn't defend itself and was flipped by Bronco, and since it couldn't self right, it was out. That wasn't enough for Bronco who attempted to throw the BYOB Orange Drum out of the arena and succeeded. Bronco then targeted and flipped The Berg who wasn't able to move afterwards because it didn't have a good top panel. Bronco's next target was Minotaur. Bronco lined up the shot and threw Minotaur out of the arena in just one flip. Now, only The Berg was left. Bronco tried multiple times to throw The Berg out of the arena, but The Berg survived until the end of the fight. The fight went to a judges decision where Bronco won due to having the highest KO count.

#### Rumble 6

Number of robots: 18 (19 if you count Thunder and Lightning seperately)

The fight started with every spinner spinning up and every flipper and hammer priming their weapon. When everyone met in the middle, Bronco tried to flip Witch Doctor V1, but failed. A fairly large group continued to harass Bronco for some time. Bronco then escaped and flipped the BYOB FBS. After that Bronco went after the BYOB Disc who wasn't keen on letting history repeat itself. Bite Force then redirected Bronco into the wall while it was having small drive problems. While this was happening, Mr. Shellshock was being targeted by Witch Doctor V1, The Berg, and SOKhaos. Meanwhile, the BYOB Axe targeted Bronco and made the fatal mistake of driving in front of it. The BYOB Axe was flipped, had trouble self righting, and Bronco threw it out of the arena. Bronco went after Lumaside next and quickly dispatched it by throwing it out of the arena. Bronco then tried to throw Supernova out of the arena, but Minotaur drove under it as it was being flipped. Bronco then flipped Minotaur and that managed to get Supernova off of it and out of the arena. Bronco then went after the BYOB FBS which was long gone at this point and was pushed over to Bronco's wall. Bronco quickly threw out the BYOB FBS, then flipped Tombstone. Bronco then went after Bite Force who was boxed in, and threw it out too. The fight went to a judges decision where Bronco won due to having the highest KO count.

While this was happening, The Berg's side panel was compromised and hanging by a thread. When the groups split, Bronco flipped Beta who then self righted. Tombstone then attacked Bronco as its flipper was retracting from a flip attempt on Mr. Shellshock, this resulted in Bronco clamping down onto Tombstone's bar which prompted an unstick. After the unstick, Blacksmith started Targeting Bronco. Bronco was then boxed into the wall by Witch Doctor V1 who Bronco then targeted. Witch Doctor V3 tried to save Witch Doctor V1 by ramming Bronco as it was flipping Witch Doctor V1, but it was too late as Bronco had already pinned Witch Doctor V1 on top of the wall. Bronco then flipped Witch Doctor V1 onto its back as it was being pushed away by Witch Doctor V3. The now immobile Witch Doctor V1 was then targeted by the BYOB Flipper in an attempt to throw it out of the arena.
