HEXBUG 413-5128-00GL04 Battlebots Arena

Product Information

Unlike the previous HEXBUG BattleBox, this toy does not feature plastic sections resembling Lexan panels. One of the biggest features of the Arena MAX is the functional sets of screws which are housed at the top of the BattleBox. These feature plastic screws which spin upwards like the real arena hazard, activated by a small gray button between each set. In 2021, HEXBUG totally redesigned the arena, inspired by the changes to the BattleBox ahead of the show's 2020 season. The arena itself was made much larger and featured functioning screw hazards, with the playset itself called BattleBots Arena MAX. HEXBUG also re-released the Whiplash and SawBlaze toys alongside this upgraded arena, dubbed BattleBots Arena MAX Platinum.

For this season, a number of changes were implemented to the surrounding arena complex, as measures to maintain participant and crewmember safety in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Along with the absence of a live studio audience, 'box-side suites' were added as sectioned areas for teams to watch matches from a distance. Extra Lexan barriers were also fitted around the outer Lexan, again as distancing measures for teams, presents, judges and production crewmembers. Similarly to the previous two iterations, open spaces between the inner and outer walls were present in some areas, allowing robots to be thrown completely out of the arena. Strategy becomes the ultimate weapon in the Arena Max. Plan your moves, anticipate your opponent's tactics, and seize victory using skillful maneuvers. For the first five seasons, BattleBots was hosted by Bil Dwyer, Sean Salisbury, and Tim Green. Correspondents included former Baywatch actresses Donna D'Errico, Carmen Electra, and Traci Bingham, former Playboy Playmate Heidi Mark, comedian Arj Barker and identical twins Randy and Jason Sklar. Bill Nye was the show's "technical expert". The show's match announcer was longtime boxing ring announcer Mark Beiro. While builders will make tweaks to their design, unless a robot was a complete failure the season before, teams rarely take to redesigning their BattleBot.Regional BotsIQ events used a variety of smaller arenas without hazards to accommodate 15lb weight class robots for high school and college tournaments. The most recent example to be documented is the arena for the 2022 California University Finals, which used a rectangular base, red and blue starting areas marked on the yellow side walls, and a tall Lexan enclosure.

This differed in having an octagonal-shaped fighting arena, with only the spiked bumper and two Pulverizers (both on the right-hand side) as hazards. The red and blue squares reverted to their classic solid patterns which remained for subsequent events, though their positioning remained similar to the Cisco Party variant. Though the JavaOne event was primarily host to middleweight robots, one battle is also known to have taken place there between the superheavyweight Ginsu and heavyweight Sewer Snake. [22]
