KillerHurtz 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, KillerHurtz contained the same chassis as the other toys and built in impact sensors allowed "virtual damage" to be shown on the robot, as a result of ramming. A flashing LED on top of each toy displayed exactly how much damage it had taken, and the robot would cease to function once its light was no longer illuminated. The toy bares some resemblance to KillerHurtz, but its shell lacks the translucent finish seen on KillerHurtz's other toy releases. Similarly, the axe does not fully retract and the toy features decals not seen on John Reid's heavyweight robot.
Trivia[]
- Two copies of KillerHurtz's RC drivetrain were used by Jason Bardis to build Same-O and Lame-O Inferno, two antweight bots of his which competed in minor events such as Sozbots and Botbash.[1]
