Ronin was one of eight BattleBots competitors selected for the Battle Chains line of toys. As part of the Third Edition released by Jakks Pacific, Ronin was one of four Battle Chains toys released in 2002.
It is a strong replica of Pete Abrahamson's robot with a fully functional sawblade weapon thanks to a small belt connecting the saw to a mechanism connecting to the pull chain.
Like every other Battle Chains release, Ronin had a keyring and chain attached which, when pulled, would activate its weaponry. In the case of Ronin, the belt-driven saw would begin to spin.
Ronin is one of the rarer Battle Chains releases, due to Jakks Pacific and Road Champs losing the license to produce toys following the cancelation of BattleBots in 2002.
The toy was sold individually in stores, and though Battle Chains were also sold a pack of four through the BattleBots Store, priced at $15.00, it is not known if a four-pack with Ronin was ever made available.[1]
