It was initially due to compete in the Series 3 Middleweight Championship, but the championship was later cancelled due to an accident in the pits. However, it did take part in two televised battles; the Middleweight Melee, an exhibition battle to replace the cancelled championship, and the War of Independence, a one-off battle held during the International League Championship where it represented the USA. It drew with A-Kill in the former, but won the latter, again competing against A-Kill.

The robot's name and design, as stated by Lisa Winter, derives from 'Tentomushi', the Japanese name for a ladybug (US) / ladybird (UK).
