### Robot History

#### Season 4

Tungsten's first fight of Season 4 was against **Minotaur**. Minotaur spun up once, but Tungsten hit it with its spinner and threw Minotaur out. It is believed that this fight has produced the third fastest KO in Lego Battlebots. Standalone dethroned Tungsten when knocking out Uppercut in about 4.1 seconds, only to have it topped again by Bumblebee in Season 5.

Tungsten went on to face Recoil. At the beginning of the fight, Tungsten deflected Recoil twice, the latter of which Recoil flipped itself. Tungsten continued this for another hit. Recoil was then put in the screws before hitting Tungsten in the rear end twice. Tungsten then deflected Recoil with its wedge again; this time Recoil flipped itself, and self-righted almost instantly. The pulverizer then hit both bots. Recoil then sent Tungsten flying with three big rear end hits before flipping itself. Recoil then threw Tungsten upside down, and after a couple more hits, tore it in half. Recoil took the KO.

Tungsten then faced a fellow 1-1 bot, **Destructobot**. Tungsten started by getting under Destructobot and flipping it in a weird way. Tungsten then tore part of Destructobot's weapon out before flipping it back over. Tungsten then maneuvered Destructobot from wall to wall, and got it stuck under the pulverizer for a bit. Tungsten then tried to throw Destructobot out of the arena, which for a while was to no avail. Tungsten continued to dominate the match and soon finally got it out, moving to 2-1.

Tungsten was given the 19 seed for its performance and faced the 14 seed, Bloodsport, in the Round of 32. To start the match Bloodsport landed a couple hits, and was then carried by Tungsten to the pulverizer. Tungsten's weapon then broke, and Bloodsport started with big hits to him, breaking another part of the disc. Tungsten was weakened by this point, but Bloodsport then tried to spin up, and shredded half of its blade in the process. Tungsten was then taken to the screws, and was soon flipped over. That eliminated him from the tournament.

#### Season 5

Tungsten entered Season 5 and faced HyperShock 2016 in its first fight. Both bots spun up, with Tungsten getting under and knocking the drum off HyperShock. Tungsten then rammed him onto the screws, securing a knockout.

Tungsten then took on **Lucky**. Tungsten spun up its disc, backing up so Lucky couldn't flip it. Lucky then drove into Tungsten, knocking itself out of the arena.

At 2-0, Tungsten took on Cobalt. Cobalt started with the ground game, as he easily got under Tungsten. As both bots spun their weapons and drove around, Cobalt had better control as he threw Tungsten into the wall, but Tungsten then flipped him. Tungsten tried to throw Cobalt out of the arena, but failed and Cobalt then attacked. Cobalt nearly threw Tungsten out, then pinned him upside down in the arena drum, getting the knockout.

Tungsten was given the #25 seed, and took on the #8 seed, Hydra. Tungsten began the fight with a hit that sent Hydra flying, but Hydra quickly countered by getting to Tungsten's rear and flipping it. Hydra then threw Tungsten out with the next flip.

According to several spectators, Tungsten stayed in one piece when flying out. He slid on a large tin that helped him hit the floor upright, which kept him from exploding.
