![]() Impulse however, hot on his pursuit, sneakily cut a corner and came blasting into the exposed side of Royal Pain again, knocking the Robot onto its side and amazingly detaching the last piece of armour. Laurel 1 - Boss 0 Hammer swinging, and fleeing for his life, Royal Pain is chased all around the Arena, desperately trying to save his last armour plate. The spinning disc of Laurel’s Impulse came crashing into Royal Pain’s flank, and successfully removed the first piece of his armour within seconds. Once they both got the hang of the controls (forwards, backwards and SMASH) they were off. Our wonderful customer service agent Laurel, gladly accepts his challenge. Naturally all this excitement caught the Boss’ eye, who promptly plays the rank card and gets the first go. With the Arena set out and the Robots equipped for battle, there was only one thing left to do… The sides are reserved for the the armour plating, which is attached to the Robots with tiny magnets, just enough to hold them in place until they come into contact with a crushing blow from an opponent. Aside from their main weapons which are controllable from the ‘ trigger’ position button on the RC, each robot has a selection of ramps and shunts to attach to the front and back. You’ll soon hear the successful sound of the motors whirring to life, and you’re good to go. After you’ve pushed the bind button, bring the RC as close as you can and start mashing buttons. (This is also how you switch each one on). To bind the Robot with it’s RC, you simply flip the robot onto it’s back and press the button. The RCs have 4 channels which are easily swapped and bound with each Robot. The remote controls are tiny but still feel ergonomically comfortable. There’s even space on the barriers to customise your Arena with the included decal pack. They are easily clipped into place on the cardboard play area, and the Arena looks awesome when fully assembled. The barriers completely surround the arena, ensuring that no stray chunks of robotics are sent flying into the abyss (mum’s carpet). We were really impressed at the level of detail captured by HEXBUG. ![]() The 50cm x 50cm battleground comes complete with side barriers and clear viewing panels, exactly like in the TV show. However, instead of the Havoc Hammer brandished by Royal Pain, Impulse wields a destructive spinning disc to devastate it’s opponents. Similarly, Impulsehad its own array of attachments. Armor plates, shunts and spikes are all easily attached (and detached we presume?!) to the ‘bot, allowing for multiple play styles. Even the packaging fills you with excitement: we couldn’t wait to dive in! First out of the box was Royal Pain, who had more way attachments than we first thought. Unboxing The Robot Wars RC Head-to-Head ArenaĪs we started to unbox the Robot Wars Arena, we were pleasantly surprised at the level of detail there was. Today we have the pleasure of reviewing the Arena, Royal Pain and Impulse, and then we’ll mix it up a bit later by adding some Accessories to our ‘Bots. And of course, no Robot Wars battle would be complete without the notorious House Robot: Matilda. Available in the 2018 collection is the infamous Robot Wars Arena (which includes two RTB robots, Royal Pain and Impulse) and a variety of Attachments and Accessories to keep surprising your opponents. The 2018 Robot Wars RC Toy Collection HEXBUG have made a selection of ‘ Ready to Battle’ Robots inspired by some of the fiercest competitors from season 10. 2016 brought the iconic TV show back to our living rooms, and the guys over at HEXBUG saw an opportunity to bring our nostalgic memories to life. ![]() Alas, shelved alongside our other dreams for Jet-packs and Laser-guns, we thought it would sit gathering dust forever. It’s been a long time since Robot Wars first aired on television back in 1997, and back then kids and grownups alike could only dream of battling their very own RC Robots.
