(At the time of writing, they are still available on Hexbug’s website)Īlso, instead of arriving in a singular box, as shown on the website and in the American release, they instead arrived in two separate boxes, each with the robot, their controller, and a small instruction sheet. What’s unique about this is set, in particular, is that unlike other Brits who already own these, I didn’t have to go to eBay and pay an insane import fee Due to popular demand, Hexbug has released Beta & Minotaur in the UK for a limited time. With Hexbug recently announcing the release of more BattleBots toys, it seems the perfect time to review the second set of “Rivals”: Beta & Minotaur.
In the case of Beta, its sloped side panels and front wedge are all removable, connected to the toy with small magnets.**This post is not endorsed, but does contain affiliate links.** 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.
