Minion 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, Minion 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.

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.

This Minion toy appears to be a hybrid of its Las Vegas 1999 and Season 1.0 builds, combining its gray rear wedge and bracing bars from the Vegas event with its protected wheels and single saw blade seen in the first televised season.

However, this toy is somewhat inaccurate compared to its real-life counterparts as its saw is too big relative to the rest of its body.

Trivia[]

  • The Minion Custom Series toy had the most drastic changes from its prototype to final release out of all the Custom Series toys. Its prototype possessed a vastly different color scheme.
