These are NOT toys - Battlebots Sawblaze & Whiplash Hexbug Rivals Platinum Set Review | Votesaxon07

[@Votesaxon07Reviews]

Sooooo... toy of the year?

[@jackboulter4901]

Yes definitely

[@MarkSW]

Has my vote.

[@KhaoticRobotics]

Yep

[@jrrobotics]

Yes, it’s not even a competition.

[@Yunone]

That depends whether or not there'll be another toy that will top it.

[@KhaoticRobotics]

I think this is Hexbugs best year yet. It’s awesome that they can now make bots with dual weapons which opens up possibilities for bots like End Game with their self righter and maybe even Tantrum with their puncher. The rechargeable feature is also perfect since now there is less space taken up by batteries allowing for more interesting designs to be executed. Plus making a new arena was an amazing choice by Hexbug. Do you think you will do a review of the Sumobash toys?

[@Votesaxon07Reviews]

I am ALL IN for a Tantrum Hexbug... as long as it's paired with a Skorpios! Haha I think I'm good with the Arena and this, it's been an expensive month, and I really want those new Ghostbusters figures!!

[@SupremeLonginus]

@@Votesaxon07Reviews no we need a hypershock hexbug since hexbug is now doing rechargeable batteries instead of the triple A's. Plus it would be a lot faster lol

[@alem1655]

@@SupremeLonginus Hypershock and Warrior Clan all the way. Also as a joke give Hypershock the ability to attach a mini rake, just for the damn fun of it

@@SupremeLonginus even better, the two button system would be perfect for Warrior Clan's full body spinner X flipper combo

[@BDragon-r8n]

no you the fistrs

[@MarkSW]

I got them last week and I love them! Especially SawBlaze!

[@jrrobotics]

This Hexbug Rivals Pack will be #1 on my list for a while. They’re so detailed, they have new designs, everything works perfectly, and they’re SUPER fun to play with.

[@fakename5307]

I'd honestly kind of like them to go back and redo all of the bots so far with the rechargeable batteries, they seem a bit more peppy with them.

[@Living_Murphys_Law]

Yeah, although the wheeled BYOB might be tough to do like that.

[@ExplosiveRobotics]

Khaotic found some insane AAA batteries that are also rechargeable, unfortunately they sell in sets of 2 or 4.

[@Living_Murphys_Law]

@@ExplosiveRobotics I found them on Amazon in a 12-,pack.

[@DewNotDisturb]

Honestly I like them better when they are a bit slower, feels more true to the show

[@SupremeLonginus]

We need a hypershock hexbug since hexbug is now doing rechargeable batteries instead of the triple A's. Plus it would be a lot faster.

[@tyanimations]

And they could add a feature where the internals fall out the bot

[@hexbots]

🔥🔥🔥🤖🔥🔥🔥

[@BradleyBoy]

I want it all

[@Slashser]

Goddamnit why aren't these sold internationally? They could be the next Beyblade!

[@WorldofWoodrow]

Great review as always Stephen! These really are some of the best toys ever!

[@Votesaxon07Reviews]

What a time to be alive. Never thought I'd see the day that we get fighty robot toys THIS good. Practically one step away from full on antweights.

[@husky948]

Wow can they do bombshell vs chomp

[@palmcrazysg]

are there any other Hexbug Battlebots that also use RECHARGEABLE! LiPo battery like Whiplash and Sawblaze?

[@tigerrocks503chase8]

So far these are the only ones.

[@darylcastillo1439]

I'm surprised how restrained Stephen is in the review, given he has a raging stiffie for SawBlaze. Joking aside, as someone who owns five Hexbug machines, these are incredible - design and technology-wise.

[@Votesaxon07Reviews]

I'm comfortable with who I am. 😅🤣

[@ToastGhost]

Man, you beat me again my set will likely arrive on Monday. Maybe next year I'll have the new pack before you great as always review comes out, getting them to the UK is always fun...

[@jackboulter4901]

I absolutely adore this new rivals set and can't wait to see what's next for the platinum rivals line. I'm also crossing fingers I'll be able to get the new arena aswell.

[@PPPPaPiPuPePo]

SawBlaze is VERY powerful To the point where it broke my 2018 Witch Doctor when it hit the middle part of the drum

[@Votesaxon07Reviews]

So it's extremely realistic?

[@j-lgames4152]

Another fantastic review Stephen 👍 It seems Hexbug are just a hair away from making actual antweights rather than toys, these really are superb.

[@Sean0fenton]

I can't think of anything that could top these.......OK maybe a Hexbug Chomp, but mainly me wanting a hexbug Battlebots walker.

[@jamesperkins4632]

ABSOLUTLY AMAZING love the toys they look like the real things this is an amazing set great job mate

[@wristofkings]

Love this set and plan on purchasing them as my first Hexbugs when I have the funds to do so. Which set do you think Hexbug should make next? Given how successful they were at duplicating Sawblaze and Whiplash's weapon arms I wouldn't be surprised if Skorpios is already being considered.

[@WonderboyWDE]

I really wish they would make a “pro” line or whatever you want to call it of the different bots in something like 1:20 or 1:25 scale, metal, and working weapons. I’d love to own a mini-Witch Doctor or mini-Hypershock.

[@BellyLover06]

I'm not sure regular batteries would've been a good idea for these two anyway as I'd imagine a single battle would have them drained by at least half the battery power. It still begs the question whether HEXBUG will sell the battery packs separately for those times when you need a new one/lose the charger or something.

[@ironoreiron]

Then what are they? Kitchen tools? Weapons? Vacuums!?

[@Strife-7274]

Lucky that yours works. After 1 battle, it stopped and now its just spinning without me touching any buttons. I cant even turn it on or off 😢

[@사람-g4n4g]

My Hexbug whiplash is hopeless because the spin is on the floor when I lift it.

[@katiehunter7313]

i just got these second hand and are utterly useless with out the charging cables :(

[@tubztergaming5700]

Where did you get yours from?

[@AMIVITZRS]

I wish Hexbug Build Razer

[@marianoyeeyee1755]

The battery’s don’t last long sadly

[@wlhui5653]

I want to watch sawblaze vs Minotaur

[@studious_yt97]

We need end game vs witch doctor

[@mewmewfan1527]

Looks really awesome

[@GustavoGomez-dw4or]

They need to come out with rusty

[@chefboiarby304]

I know you wanted to move away from Hexbugs being in Antweight Anarchy, but I think these guys have more than earned their spots in the field. I think Whiplash could potentially go all the way.

[@Votesaxon07Reviews]

Maybe before, but with what we're building for series 3 they'd get shredded.

[@jackboulter4901]

@@Votesaxon07Reviews Oooo Topbot 2.0 ??

[@Dubstepper]

@@Votesaxon07Reviews Then upgrade the electronics

[@Votesaxon07Reviews]

@@Dubstepper Electronics are fine, it's more the brittle plastic side of things. We would need to print 3D shells.

[@Dubstepper]

@@Votesaxon07Reviews Ohh ok

[@PorphuraStover]

When it comes to charging, I suggest setting up a 1 hour timer since lipo batteries can charge up to an hour. If you leave it charging for more than 1 hour, then bad things will happen (Same applies for charging without a timer)

[@rojogames8753]

I say it's a toy

[@FacundoGimenezpy]

Quiero uno😂

[@KevinSpecialK]

Does anyone has the issue with the remote input? I press forward and the battlebot keeps moving forward for a while.

[@The_guy25]

I hope the next ones are maybe gruff, and updated beta, hypershock, yeti, or copperhead

[@fuquasports]

THEY SHOULD DO SOME BOT LIKE VALKYRIE AND HAVE INTERCHANGEABLE BLADES

[@TheUmbreonGuy]

Honestly surprised we didn't get Uppercut.

[@ruvimsemenyuk8224]

Anyone else have a weird issue with the whiplash mine has a weird issue where when I press the right turn button it goes left and left button it goes right

[@BostonHooligan08]

What's the trick to get them and keep them connected?

[@Votesaxon07Reviews]

Keep them well charged and operate them in low level lighting. The IR sensor is sensitive to bright light.

[@BlackroseGamer85]

Amazing, can't find it in the UK though 👀

[@BBR421]

These are two of the most beautiful hexbugs, as well as the most compatible ever! If it were possible, I would love Hexbug to remake all the old Battlebot Hexbugs (Tombstone, Beta, Witch Doctor, etc) to be fitted with rechargeable batteries instead of a compartment to replace them with. Great review again, Stephen. Great attention to detail as ever. :)

[@chefboiarby304]

That plus some power and design updates. Beta, Minotaur, and Witch Doctor Mk2 feel a bit outdated.

[@TeamWhackjob-Official]

Wanna see the rw sets back like this aswell

[@xrobotwarsadictwillz6317]
