There’s also a switch that allows you to select one of the four different frequencies. The remote has five buttons: forward/backward left/right weapon. Each bot includes a mini infrared remote control.
Okay…I picked it up under the guise that it was for my kids. My kids made me pick up the Hexbug BattleBots Arena, which includes Witch Doctor and Tombstone. Specifically, the Minotaur and Beta bot pack.Įven before taking on this review, I was very familiar with the line.
For this review, we’ll be taking a look at the BattleBots Rivals line. Hexbug hopes to fill that BattleBot void in your soul with several new lines based on the series. But, for one reason or another, no one decided to pick up BattleBots for the 2017 television season. I’ve been watching robots fight it out on television for almost 20 years (yes…Robot Wars started in 1998). Someone forgot to air new episodes of BattleBots. But a tragic event happened during the summer of 2017. In the case of Beta, its sloped side panels and front wedge are all removable, connected to the toy with small magnets.There’s something cathartic about watching robots tear each other to scrap metal. Like other toys in the line, several parts of Beta are removable to mimic damage in battle. It also has a limited range of motion and as such, cannot reliably self-right. Notably, the support for Beta's hammer is not represented, with its gear mechanism lower than on its real-life counterpart. The HEXBUG toy is not without its differences to the 250lb robot. However, if the button is held, the toy will repeatedly fire and reset its hammer. When pressed again, the hammer retracts back to its original position. If the weapon button is pressed and released, the hammer will fire. Beta's iconic hammer is operated in a unique way. The toy is based on the World Championship II design of Beta and bears a strong resemblance to the real-life robot. It was released in 2017 alongside Minotaur individually and also in a two-pack. Beta was one of the BattleBots competitors released as part of HEXBUG's Rivals line of remote control toys.
