Similarly, the iconic killsaws and lesser BattleBox hazards are simply represented by decals on the arena floor.
This was fixed, however, for a later BattleBox release.


Though the screws are represented by graphics along the side walls, they are non-functional unlike the pulverizer hammers. However, the robots are noticeably out of scale with the arena itself, appearing too large by comparison and especially so compared to the starting squares. The toy is a reasonable replica of the BattleBox from World Championship I. Plastic wall panels resembling the Lexan of the BattleBox then slot into these wall pieces to complete the look. Once unfolded, the playset has several plastic wall pieces which click into the card base, two of which house pulverizers which can be activated by levers. Based on the 2015 season arena, it folds out to offer a sizable playing surface for two or more remote control toys to drive on. Intended to be compatible with all HEXBUG remote control BattleBots toys up to that point, the BattleBots Arena was HEXBUG's first attempt at recreating the BattleBox. The BattleBots Arena was released as part of HEXBUG's introductory line of BattleBots toys in 2016, coinciding with the debut of their remote control line of toys. $89.99 (Witch Doctor/Bronco, Bite Force/Blacksmith) Please note: I have owned some of these bots before 2019, but the first competition was the 2019 Recording, so the earliest time that can be listed in the "competing since" area is August 2019.$79.99 (Tombstone/Minotaur, Tombstone/Witch Doctor) 37 of them are still currently competing.Ĭlick on one of the links below to view a bot's page, or use the menu above.īeta, Big Bully, Bite Force, Black Devil, Black Dragon, Blacksmith, Blue Rotato, Boltergeist, Bronco, Death Twister, Duck, Gamma 9, Hammerhead, Huge, Hurricane, Hypershock, Minotaur, Monstrosity, Railgun Max, Ring of Fire, Riptide, Rotator, Rusty, SawBlaze, Shatter, Sir Toss-a-Lot, Superscoop, Tangerine, Terabyte, The Claw, Tombstone, Tombstone II, Upgraded Tombstone, Upgraded Warhead, Vertico HBV, Warhead, Whiplash, Witch Doctor, Witch Dr. There have been 40 different Hexbug competitors so far.
