Diesector was one of two BattleBots competitors selected to be produced for the Pro Series line of remote control toys by Tiger Electronics.
It was based upon the Season 2.0 version of Diesector, evident by its chisel weaponry. Whereas the chisels were activated by driving Diesector, its jaws can open and close by pressing the weapon button on the toy's controller. Diesector's toy featured numerous extras, including barbed red tips for the front jaws and alternative chisel heads which were not necessarily seen on the actual superheavyweight robot.
Like other remote control releases by Hasbro's Tiger Electronics, Diesector featured tank-style steering with the bot's chisels activating in tandem with its drive. The robot featured impact sensors and a total of three LED lights to disable in battle. Once the light turned off, the toy would be deemed knocked out. The toy also came with a special tool designed to loosen or tighten the bolts holding its jaws in place.
Differences to Real Life[]
The Pro Series toy features black tires, where they were gray on each iteration of Diesector until Season 5.0 on Comedy Central. Its chisel weaponry is also black, whereas these were gray with yellow tips in the show, prior to Mutant Robots opting for mallets from Season 3.0 onward.
Trivia[]
- Prototype builds of Diesector and BioHazard, as well as the unreleased Tazbot and Complete Control were teased in Episode 10 of Season 3.0 on Comedy Central.
