## Fight History

### **Hexbug Hell season 1**

\*Gigabyte did not compete in the main competition, but did partake in an exhibition match.\*

#### Gigabyte vs Thunder and Lightning

\*Note: because Lightning wasn't made yet, it was replaced by Witch Doctor V1\*

The fight started with a box rush from Thunder while Witch Doctor was tentative. It ended with Gigabyte being unable to spin up for the entire fight. Witch Doctor then came in for a hit that knocked the shell loose even further. Gigabyte tried the sit and spin technique which failed. Witch Doctor then got under the shell and pushed Gigabyte into the wall. Gigabyte managed to escape, but lost its shell to Witch Doctor. Gigabyte was furious and started pushing Witch Doctor around. Witch Doctor then tried (and failed) to use the shell as a ramp to get under Gigabyte. Gigabyte then got into a shoving match with Thunder and then reclaimed its shell after a shoving match with Witch Doctor. The rest of the fight was Gigabyte trying the sit and spin tactic again and Doctor Thunder (Thunder/Witch Doctor team name) trying to take off the shell again. The fight ended with Thunder and Gigabyte both stuck under the shell. The fight went to a judges decision where Doctor Thunder won.

### **Hexbug Hell Quarantine Edition**

#### Rumble 1

Number of robots: 13 (14 if you count Thunder and Lightning seperately)

The fight started with everyone spinning up. When everyone met in the middle, all hell broke loose. Lumaside, Tombstone, Minotaur, the BYOB Silver Drum, and the BYOB Disc immediately lost parts while Lumaside was lifted on top of Supernova. The BYOB Silver Drum quickly lost its other panel to Bite Force while Lumaside, Witch Doctor V3, Supernova, and Lightning were fighting each other. While this was happening, another group was formed from Minotaur, The Berg, Gigabyte, and Thunder. The groups then spit apart and all the robots went after someone else. Lumaside then spun up and delivered a shot to Lightning. While the group of Witch Doctor V1, the BYOB Silver Drum, the BYOB Disc, Lumaside, Thunder, and Witch Doctor V3 were slugging it out, Gigabyte got its weapon going and charged The Berg, and Bite Force tangled with the BYOB FBS. Bite Force then went after Tombstone while Witch Doctor V3 went after Supernova and Minotaur. By this point, Supernova and Tombstone were fighting it out while most of the robots had formed a group in the corner. By the time that the group had largely broken up, it was abundantly clear that Thunder was suffering from Drive problems. Bite force was going after Gigabyte while being harassed by Witch Doctor V1. Lumaside, Supernova, and the BYOB Disc teamed up for a pincer attack on Tombstone. Lightning pressed an attack on the BYOB FBS which caused it to lose a tread. The Berg was briefly trapped in a mass of discarded panels and other robots before it freed itself. Witch Doctor V1 came in from behind and tried to remove Thunder's armor panel, but ultimately failed and moved on to find their next prey. The final 10 seconds began being counted down and everyone got desperate as a result. Tombstone quickly went after the BYOB Disc and bounced off of it, but no further offenses came from anyone because the fight was ***over***. After a few days of deliberation and rewatching, Lumakid100 decided that the winner of this fight was Bite Force due to it being the most active throughout the fight and most dominant in the shoving matches that ensued.

#### Rumble 2

Number of robots: 3

The fight started with everyone spinning up. Gigabyte then went after Lumaside, but only landed a glaning blow which ended with Gigabyte losing a panel. Gigabyte then went after the BYOB FBS and took off one of its panels, quickly taking one from Lumaside as well. Lumaside then hit the wall and took off its own remaining panel. With another hit, Gigabyte took the BYOB FBS' remaining panel and dislodged the weapon from the central shaft. Lumaside then attacked the BYOB FBS and finished off the weapon. The cage of the BYOB FBS ejected and was thrown to the corner of the arena. Lumaside then went to attack Gigabyte but was smacked back. After the second hit with Gigabyte, Lumaside then went to attack the BYOB FBS, but that was all the bar could take because it ejected too. Lumaside then went to attack Gigabyte who simultaneously tried to take off Lumaside's leading wedge. Gigabyte then went after the BYOB FBS who won the subsequent pushing match. At some point, Gigabyte lost its other panel, however Gigabyte took off the most panels from other robots. The rest of the fight was all of the robots driving around aimlessly. The fight went to a judges decision where Lumaside won due to taking off the BYOB FBS' weapon, one of the BYOB FBS' panels, and doing well in pushing matches.

#### 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.

### **Hexbug Hell Quarantine Annihilator**

#### Round 1

(18 robots)

The fight started with everyone either spinning up or priming their weapon. When they met in the middle, panels flew everywhere from multiple weapons hitting them at the same time. When the group split, Thunder and Lightning were pressurizing Minotaur and Lumaside while Thunder was rammed from behind by Witch Doctor V3. 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. While this was happening, Bronco then targeted and flipped Mr. Shellshock as time ran out. The fight went to a judges decision where Witch Doctor V1 was eliminated due to being immobilized first. Witch Doctor V1 was now out.
