Standalone

## Overview

Standalone is a BYOB tank chassis with the fork wedge attatchment. It immediately showed to be a strong competitor by winning its first tournament in spectacular fashion by throwing MOE out of the arena. It returned for the first CSR tourney where it reached the semifinals before being pitted by Endgame. It also participated in two of the arena test fights where it won against Free Shipping, but lost in the rumble. It then gained a (cosmetic) lifting arm that did absolutely nothing. Standalone then competed in The tourney (real great tournament name CSR) where it got to the semifinals before losing to Razorback. It was around this time when people started speculating if Standalone was infected with the Reaper Curse. It switched wedges for Hex-Battlebots where it made it to the finals, but was pushed into the pit by Endgame. Standalone was now diagnosed with the Reaper Curse. It competed in The CSR 2 with another new wedge where it got to the semifinals before being knocked out by Plunderer. It then competed in Nate Lenont Battle of the Builders and Hummelbots Battle of The Hexbug Youtubers which explains why a prototype version was seen at Nate Lenont's arena. The prototype lost every fight it was in and finished 6th. The real Standalone competed at Hummelbots where it placed 2nd after losing a close match to Dynamite. It also lost the play-in rumble which meant that it did not enter Hummelbots 3.0. It then competed in Nate Lenont Battle of the Builders 2 where it suffered a destructive knockout at the hands of Flipjob. Standalone then returned to its home series where it was selected as one of 5 defenders in Steove vs THE WORLD. It lost its match in a close judges decision. It then went abroad again for Brady-o-active's Battle of the Hexbug Youtubers where it fought its way to the finals through the losers bracket, but ultimately lost to Plunderer. Standalone then went back to basics for the Hexbug Hell 100 subscribers tournament and got actual removable panels. It got to the finals before losing to Blacksmith and placing second again. The Reaper Curse is a cruel mistress.
