Trivia: Event Horizon 2 has previously been thought to have been a popup, although it is not.

Event Horizon 2 was a Middleweight Rammer built by Clickbeetle for BBEANS 1. It was Clickbeetle's first of five bots competing in the five BBEANS events. The others were Fight or Flight (BBEANS 2), Brown Wreckluse 2 (BBEANS 3), and System Flailure (BBEANS 4). Event Horizon was one of the best bots of BBEANS 1, and one that still has a chance to hold up against some of the modern MW's. It was heavily favored from the beginning, an Clickbeetle included it in his three bots that he thought were good enough to win the tournament. This High-powered rammer beat two bots (Nobody Nose and Riptide), that are very similar HSs, showing how Event Horizon stands up against certain bot designs. Its losses (both against popups), show its inablity to fight against other types. It also lost in the rumble when it was destroyed by Wedge Tracker. There is also a HW version of Event Horizon 2, called "Points of No Return", which is showcased on Clickbeetle's site. Clickbeetle is ranked 8th in BBEANS standings.
