El Diablo was one of eight BattleBots competitors which featured in the RC Custom Series range of toys released in 2001 by Tiger Electronics and Hasbro.
Like other robots in the series, El Diablo contained the same chassis as the other toys and built in impact sensors allowed "virtual damage" to be shown on the toy, as a result of ramming and fake scars like the Second Edition toys.
Flashing LEDs on top of each toy displayed exactly how much damage it had taken, and the robot would cease to function once the light was no longer illuminated.
The toy itself is based on El Diablo's Season 2.0 build due to its spiked drum and the inclusion of horns. It is a fairly accurate representation of the robot, but lacks the ability to run upside-down as Zack Bieber's middleweight could.
Trivia[]
- El Diablo was the only middleweight competitor to be released in this specific line of toys.
