OverKill was one of eight BattleBots competitors selected for the Battle Chains line of toys. As part of the First and Second Editions released by Jakks Pacific, OverKill was one of four Battle Chains toys released in 2001.
It is easily identifiable as OverKill thanks to its giant knife blade and large exposed wheels. Strangely, the decal adorning the top of the OverKill Battle Chains toy is upside-down. Like every other Battle Chains release, OverKill had a keyring and chain attached which, when pulled, would activate its weaponry. In the case of OverKill, its knife blade would swing over and retract.
The toy was sold individually in stores, and also in a pack of four through the BattleBots Store, priced at $15.00. This set also included the other three releases from the first two waves, BioHazard, Mauler and Snake.
Trivia[]
- OverKill is the only Battle Chains release to utilize the robot's actual wheels for movement, rather than incorporating smaller wheels into its underside.
