Nitro Hornet continued through until May, when that iteration was retired after a clash with Project Liftoff. The next version introduced the aluminum frame and much sturdier side armor, but a mistake made when tapping the weapon shaft left it inoperable when it shattered early in its fight with Squishy. With no spare weapon shaft, it had to forfeit its losers bracket fight.

In 2020, Nitro Hornet was once again re-designed dramatically, taking weight away from the front to make it much sleeker. It showed promise in its first appearance at the first round of the July doubleheader, but was unable to qualify for the finals.
