A dab of Loctite on the nut can prevent this if it becomes a hassle.ģ.

The nut that helps hold the blade into place can come off and become lost, which can cause the axle to come out and thus take the blade off, though this can be used for additional "damage" in matches.

A solution may be to grind down the stubs of plastic embedded in the magnets for the rear panels to make them flush with the magnets.Ģ.

In 2021, a 3rd version of the toy was released as a part of the Arena Max playset alongside a repaint of the Tank Chassis from the Build Your Own Bot line. In 2018, a 2nd version of the toy was unveiled that has been released alongside a somewhat updated Minotaur RC with a re-release of the BattleBots arena playset and individually. If the toy is not in use for roughly 30 seconds to a minute, the toy shuts off automatically. If you buy the toys separate from one another, or from the HEXBUG website, each one comes with their own special sticker that references the robot being replicated as a toy.

The included palm-sized remote allows the toy to be controlled with 1 of 4 possible channels. Much like the previous BattleBots toys, Tombstone has panels that come off to represent damage, namely two rear panels held on with magnets and a top piece resting over the electronics. When the toy is activated or turned off, its drive wheels move back-and-forth briefly. The toy is easily identifiable as Tombstone as it has Tombstone's design and first spinning bar used in the tournament, but the spinning bar is red instead of silver as a result of the designers merging the shape of the signature silver bar with the color of the red bar.

It has also been packaged with the 2nd release of Witch Doctor, the BattleBots Arena playset and on its own.As part of a range that was released in 2016 by HEXBUG, Tombstone is one of multiple robots in the RC Series and features a working weapon separate from the drive motors. This version has been released early in some stores but available as of September 18th, 2018, complete with a 2-pack Rivals set with an updated Witch Doctor. A second prototype toy was revealed, still based on the 2015 version of Bronco but was later revised to become the 2018 version. The toy was initially scheduled for release in 2016 using the Season 1 design of Bronco but since it was unable to flip other Hexbug RC BattleBots toys at the Toy Fair, the toy's release was delayed and the flipper mechanism was redesigned to retract and now has a quicker release. In the case of Bronco, its front shields and rear wedge come off if hit hard enough. Much like the previous BattleBots toys, Bronco has pieces that come off to represent damage. It is a very accurate representation as it features Bronco's basic Season 3 design and working flipper. As part of a range planned to be released in 2018 by HEXBUG, Bronco is one of multiple robots in the RC Series.
