Trivia: Thumper was the only tribar HS in BBEANS 4.

Thumper was a Middleweight HS built by JoeCB1991 for BBEANS 4. JoeCB1991 also entered BBEANS 5 with Gut Ripper 2, which ironically is not actually a gut-ripper. Thumper was the most heavily weaponed horizontal spinner in BBEANS 4, but suffered when it came to weapon speed because of a lack of weight left over from a combination of heavy weapons and too many batteries. Clickbeetle even said that he was able to improve Thumper by removing some of the batteries and using a better weapon motor. The tribar was thus easy to stop and didn't deliver heavy blows. It lost both of its fights to VSs, because it's weapon wasn't powerful enough to knock them away and spin back up before they came back. Thumper was only able to grind down NOS-BOT to three KOs because of NOS-BOT's paltry weapons. It was commented that if NOS-BOT's weapons spun the other direction, it could have gut-ripped Thumper. JoeCB1991 is ranked 55th in BBEANS standings.
