Not too long ago, in a land not so far away, bugs would battle for complete supremacy of the land. With the rise of new technologies and techniques, these tiny warriors would rage and wage war for months. That has long passed, but the technology is still there. But peacetime has bored our insectoid neighbors, and now want some entertainment.
Remembering the days of war, they erected a tiny arena for which to do combat on: they called it, the Small Arena.
Begging the humans to satisfy their lust for small-scale mass destruction, the bugs asked for a robot combat tournament to be held.
Welcome to Micro Mayhem.
This tournament will be taking place in none other than the Small Arena by Click and Firebeetle, and as the name suggests, this is an Beetleweights only event.
