Overview
The BYOB Orange Drum is a generation 2 drum attachment with coins added to it for an extra punch mounted to a stock Hexbug orange chassis toy. It never did really good in battle. In Hexbug Hell season 1 it was flipped in both of its fights and KOed because it couldn't self right. In Hexbug Hell Quarantine Edition it managed to get a win by KOing Lightning of Thunder and Lightning, but lost the rest of its fights. It was eliminated in round 5 of the Hexbug Hell Quarantine Annihilator.

BYOB Orange drum vs BYOB Flipper
The fight started with the drum spinning up and bullying the flipper around the arena. Most of the fight was the drum pushing the flipper around until one of the drum's treads fell off. After the tread fell off, the flipper was able to get under one of the passive "wheels" and flip it, getting the win by KO.

BYOB Orange drum vs Matilda
The fight started with the drum spinning up and Matilda immediately getting a flip attempt in. Most of the fight was the drum pushing Matilda around, and Matilda trying to flip the drum and use the spinner. Eventually, Matilda managed to hook a tread with it's tusks and get the tread off which enabled Matilda to flip it. Matilda won by KO and the Orange drum was eliminated.

Rumble 3
Number of robots: 8 (9 if you count Thunder and Lightning seperately)

The fight started with everyone spinning up and meeting in the middle. In the first hit, a pincer attack from both BYOB Drums took off Witch Doctor V3's top panel and rear bumper while a combined effort from Thunder and Lightning took off all of Witch Doctor V1's panels. Thunder's top panel was coming loose, but Lighning pushed it back into place. When the group split, Bite Force took a panel from the BYOB Orange Drum while Minotaur took off its own top panel. Both Witch Doctors were attacking Thunder while Lightning was attempting to remove Bite Force's top panel. When the Witch Doctors let go of Thunder, it left to take on the BYOB Orange Drum which was pinned to the wall by The Berg, Witch Doctor V3, and Thunder. Soon after, the BYOB Silver Drum took off one of Minotaur's side panels. Bite Force then attempted to take off Thunder's top panel. The BYOB Orange Drum then managed to take off Bite Force's top panel. It was at this point where Thunder's drive problems struck which left Thunder only able to crabwalk for the rest of the fight. Despite this, Thunder still managed to pin The Berg into the wall. Bite Force then took off the BYOB Orange Drum's last panel while it was experiencing weapon problems. The Orange Drum's weapon was then taken off by Minotaur while Lightning's top panel fell off from all the abuse it took from this fight. Mere moments after that, Thunder lost its top panel to Minotaur. Minotaur was then pinned onto a discarded side panel by the BYOB Silver Drum. Minotaur was eventually freed during the final 10 seconds when Witch Doctor V1 pushed the BYOB Silver Drum into Minotaur. However, a few seconds earlier before Minotaur was pinned, the BYOB Orange Drum pushed Lightning onto a discarded top panel which stranded it. Lightning was never freed and that gave the BYOB Orange Drum the win via KO count.

Rumble 5
Number of robots: 4

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.

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.
