Next year I would like to see them make a Tantrum vs Hydra rivals pack. For tantrum, have one button that spins the spinner and one that activates the puncher. For hydra you could have one button that lowers the flipper and one button that fires it, or have it just have it all on one button like Bronco. There’s a lot of possibilities though, who knows what they come up with!
Absolutely agree with you khaotic, but with hypershock and rusty they look Absolutely amazing and function perfectly. I don't even mind that they're triple a powered again.
The problem is that the motor is inside Tantrum's disk; even in Platinum, there would hardly be any space for it to work. They could try a friction motor in the disk that triggers when you move the puncher
Also I still think hexbug needs to make Nightmare It’s the bot that I think deserves it the most because it had a 20 year run, and is trying making another comeback, Jim’s done so much for the community Including inspiring me to try and get into combat robotics myself
I’m proud my boy got a hexbug, I’m Rusty all the way. A bot I think deserves a hexbug is Stinger. Either of the fork or the wedge configuration would be cool, but they probably would make the fork one because it’s probably easier design wise.
I’d like to see one of the flipper robots like Hydra or Blip. It would be nice to have more robots with flippers. Also, I might get too Rustys because if I can find out how it works and how it’s made, I want to try and customise one to look like an old BattleBots contestant called Mortis.
I really want hexbug to someday make a classic Battlebots pack with biohazard and warhead! Something about both the designs are just so cool to me, and having the technology to downsize such legends would be absolutely incredible! Plus it could finally put the 2 button controllers to use again!
9:43 - Rusty's O what?? :p I mod Hexbugs a lot so I'd like Blip (because a compact flipper would make so many mods more feasible!) and even though it didn't feature as much last season I'd love to see a Valkerie with interchangeable blades!
Tantrum and Scorpios is a great idea for the rivals pack. Both have two weapons and Tantrum's one would be entirely unique to the line. Both deserving of a model, too.
I would love lockjaw and cobalt. Cobalt exploding ghost raptor makes it one of the fan favorites and lockjaw is so iconic and I think it's time donald gets a new toy! Also episode 69. Nice.
Nightmare and Icewave. They did have a fight before, and it was pretty decent so I guess you *could . Nightmare is also perhaps one of the most iconic bots that does not already have a hexbug toy. And imagine how insane and fun it would be to have a remote control nightmare! Icewave was also a very strong contender from that time period, and while there are many other amazing bots from that time that deserve a hexbug such as S.O.W, icewave has a special place in my heart as being my favorite bot when I first started watching the show.
THAT WAS AMAZING. My picks for the next hexbug Battlebots are Skorpios of course and end game. Here me out. Both robots have beat tombstone. Both robots have acquired some serious Battlebots hardware. Endgame with a nut and you guys claimed a bounty boss. Both bots also are “established designs” that hexbug knows they can do because of them doing bite force and sawblaze respectively. The final reason. These two bots have actually met in the box as well so it fits most of the rival’s criteria. I also think it would be interesting to see if Bite Forces forks would be compatible with the endgame build or have two different front armor sets for each bot so they have a plow set up for tombstone or rotator and forks for when the ground game is the only game
A rivals pack I would like is Tantrum and Ribbot (with interchangeable weapons). Both bots were successful on the show and are interesting designs for Hexbug BattleBots.
I would want the next Rivals pack to include Wrecks and Skorpios! Skorpios is well deserving of a Hexbug, and Wrecks would be hilarious fun to try and walk around. Also I just really miss Wrecks ❤️
Valkyrie could be an interesting Hexbug for the future since they have six interchangeable blades on the show. If Hexbug could make at least two blades and make it so different blades could snap on and off, that could be a huge selling point.
I definitely agree it’s time for Skorpios to get its own HexBug! It’s opponent should be everyone’s favorite little angry iron fist Tantrum. And no I don’t need a circular saw to cut open a box!
I would love a icewave vs skorpios rivals pack because one you guys get a toy and my other favorite; icewave also gets a toy and every time you guys fought it was always epic
Hexbug would realistically make another Tombstone reskin. However I think that SOW deserves a hexbug as well as Hydra to make like a Whyachi Robotics pack. We will see who the best Whyachi is once and for all.
I really want hydra and skorpios, i don't know how skorpios has been around so long and still has no toy, and it would just be cool to have another flipper robot.
Hydra and tantrum would make a great rivals platinum set! With the higher budget they could both have all the decals on both bots. They can easily make tantrums puncher with a 3 pully system (two pullys are in a stationary position at two ends while the 3rd is comnected to the spinner. This would allow the weapon to move while being powered the entire time.) and the spinner could be actuated with a rack and pinion set up. Hydra could have a fully powered 6 wheel drive system and would benefit from a lower profile lipo battery.
Hydra vs Gruff Skorpios vs HUGE Hydra with bikerack but can still be used as flipper aswell vs HUGE Malice vs Blacksmith Skorpios ofc vs Lockjaw Skorpios vs Deathroll To much i can think i know i mentioned some packs in the past i do like to see but forgot wich ones
I would obviously want skorpios for my first choice but also blip or shatter For skorpios is just because its obviously one of the greatest and blip since I want to see a breakout star thats so recent and same with shatter as well for the same reasoning.
I think a really cool rivals pack would be: HUGE VS MAMMOTH. The 2 largest bots getting their own pack would be awesome. Plus, they are so unusual in their shape and size that it would make them stand out from all the other packs so far.
I am desperate for an Endgame vs Cobal. I've gone far beyond obsession with them. Cobalt would work as any other spinner, with the forks coming off in pairs of 2 and the 2 top pannles coming off as well. Although they might need to be the new platinum rivals due to them being so compact. Endgame would work by one button being the spinner and the other being the back self-righter (if im spelling that correctly). The top plate of endgame would come off as well as the forks in the front coming off in a pair of 2. They should both be on par with bite force in terms of weapons and be forced to use a more tactical approach when fighting one another. Sorry for how much, again, a bit obsessive.....
I would like a pack for son of whyachi and copperhead. First of all, they have faced off in the box, which fits the theme of rivals. Secondly, they are both powerhouses. Thirdly, they both have some history, with S.O.W being a classic bot and Copperhead being a revamped version of Poison Arrow. Lastly, they’re both kinda famous in the robot fighting community. That or Hydra Vs Skorpios for obvious reasons. Those are the bots I would want.
Skorpios And Icewave Yes I know. Skorpios. But hear me out. Both have fought twice. One of them being in a bounty finals! We already have sawblaze. So why not skorpios? And IceWave is a legend in their own right. I think this is a good idea!
I do feel that Lockjaw needs a HEXBUG toy because it's a major name in the whole robot combat community. Not to mention Donald is an awesome driver and bot builder.
The next Rivals pack I would like to see would be Tantrum, because I'd like them to pull of that wepon system, and Gigabyte, because I'd like to see a full body spinner. Also if they did Tantrum, they could make his fists fly off so you could replicate the iconic moment with Tombstone. :)
I think the reason Hexbug didn't do the OG Rusty is because of the narrow shape. Rusty Jr. on the other hand was a bit more wider and was a bit simpler to pull off.
For me it has to be Tantrum and Blip! The sibling rivalry, Tantrum being the Reigning Champion and Blip! Being such an exciting new flipper (flippers are definately lacking in the Hexbug Lineup)
I'm so happy for Dave and the Hypershock team getting these. They look great! Would love to see all builders keep getting their bots made into toys - Hexbug just seems like a company that gets they're making toy robots of actual robots and make them so detailed for being a toy. I could see a set of Blip and Tantrum doing well together. But Skorpios with say End Game or Uppercut? That would be a fun one to have.
Hexbug is doing such a good job at making accurate and well functioning toys that i would love to see if they could make some of the more complex and unqiue designs, maybe shatter and mammoth? If they can do those it would prove they could replicate any robot in my opinion.
The next Hexbug Rival pack should defintely be Skorpios and MaDCaTer. I mean... those two definitely deserve their shot at being rivals let alone being made as Hexbug.
Gigabyte vs Free Shipping. Because we need a full body spinner hex bug. And we need a flame throwing hexbug. Maybe a small refillable butane tank :) And what better team captains than John Mladenik and Gary Jin?! And of course Skorpios deserves one!
For the standard pack, hydra vs endgame is what it should be. For the rivals, copperhead vs tantrum. Copperhead does only have the one action, but I think it needs the lipo to get as small as copperhead is. I think it would also be super cool to get a modular ribbon in the rivals pack. It could probably include a srimech with that extra action.
I would love to see Free Shipping and Mammoth because they're so much fun to watch, win or lose! Although... They may have to neuter the fire on Free Shipping. The other set I would love to see would be Tantrum + Blip because they're such cute sibling bots that have done extremely well and have come a long way from the awkward little bot that faced a cheeseburger and got its fists chopped by Tombstone.
How about a throwback? Warhead and Nightmare. For Warhead the 3 removable pieces can be the arms and the tail. For Nightmare the removable parts could be the wheel guards and part of the top back plate.
I'd like to see Uppercut and Free Shipping. Gary Gin is a legend and Uppercut is such a powerful bot. And to go along with your comment on paint apps, Free Shipping could get the fewer paint apps, with Uppercut getting the more detailed bot.
I think of all robots I would want it would be Bloodsport and Uppercut. Both had good rookie seasons with some struggles and then came out of nowhere and are now considered to be major threats.
I have a list of bots i would like to a be a hexbug battlebot 1. Your bot truly, Skorpios, if hexbug can make a sawblaze, they can make a skorpios 2. Endgame 3. gigabyte, i have no idea how this will work but it would be cool 3. ribbot, another undercutter would be cool 4.black dragon, pretty underrated bot in my opinion 5. Fusion,would be awesome 5.Gruff is basically a bronco counterpart 6.updated RotatoR 7. valkyrie would be a cool undercutter 8.updated blacksmith 9. cobalt 10.Yeti, a classic one since season 1 11.subzero similar to bronco 12. lockjaw 13. P1 This is my list, thank you for taking your time to read this, have a nice day!
Oh man, there are so many bots that I would love to see get a Hexbug. I think a really cool set would be Tantrum and Blip since they are from the same team and you get some variety. You would get a cool flipper out of Blip and a unique fisting weapon with Tantrum🤜. Not to mention Tantrum was the recent season’s champ. Another cool set I would love would be Jackpot and Deadlift for a rivals pack. Both teams are now 1-1 against each other. Would have a lifter and a vertical spinner and I really love the look of these two(especially Jackpot).
A unique rivals pack for next year could be Deadlift vs Jackpot. Deadlift could have two buttons independently for the suplexer but I think it could be done with one with a sequence of event, so arm lifter up then it resets. Jackpot could have a static self righter like the witch Doctor toy from 2018. Jackpot would have the dual blades that would be cool to see with the glitter and detail on it. Even though these bots may not be considered “big” enough to be actual hexbugs, they have battled before with some legendary moments
Well, I was going to say Skorpios and Yeti but Zach mentioned Skorpios already. I have a few opinions. If Hexbug thought about going back into Battlebots history, it would be neat to have throwbacks like Overkill and Disector. For current BattleBots, I would say Copperhead and Gigabyte. Both are popular plus I just thing it would be a cool idea to have a full body spinner. If that idea wouldn’t be possible, my other one would be Kraken and Black Dragon. Black Dragon I think is getting more popularly and Kraken has had some very good fights. Since both robots use fire, it would be nice to see Hexbug have a little plastic fire piece come out of the the robot to act like a flame thrower.
This is not out of bias but i think the next rivals pack should be Skorpios and Lockjaw! Multiple meetings in the battlebox and would be 2 unique robots to turn into hexbugs. Side note but I think Ribbot would be a great build your own hexbug choice with their multiple weapon configurations
How cool would it be if Hexbug did a legacy bot series? I had an old Overkill toy when I was a kid, and I still like a lot of the less practical and more experimental designs of early Battle Bots.
For the next Hexbug Rivals set, I'd absolutely LOVE to see a Platinum set that uses Lipos with Tantrum and Blade! Tantrum obviously because they're the reigning champion, and having that punching vertical spinner would be really fun to have in toy form. One button could be used to spin up the weapon, and the other would be used to make it punch forward. And Blade cause the bot itself is absolutely BEAUTIFUL, and Team ORBY is my favorite international team! The bot would look absolutely amazing as a toy, and we need more horizontal spinners in the line since Tombstone is still the only one in the line. Blade's RC would be four-wheel drive just like the real thing, and one button would be used to spin up the weapon, and the other could be used to implement a working self-righter just in case it were to get flipped over. If we were to get a Blade Hexbug, I'd probably never put it down 😄💛🇰🇷🍌🥕 I think this set would be a really fun challenge for the engineer is over at Hexbug, and it would of course also make both Aren and CheogGyu's day seeing their bots being immortalized into the Hexbug hall of fame and would serve as the ultimate validation for them. Receiving a Hexbug of your bot is its own version of winning a Giant Nut, as Ray Billings once put it. Hope to see that happen sometime in the future!!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
you know what, why stick with the modern era of battlebots only? it'd be so cool to have hexbug do a legacy line, and my two picks would be the Ronin, and the legendary Diesector!
Next year I would love to see tantrum v. Blip. I think tantrum would have 3 buttons one to start spinner and one to punch and activate self righter at the same Time and for blip maybe one to start the flywheel and one to activate it. I want to see theese because they are both from the same team and I would like to see tantrum v blip irl
I would like to see Riptide vs Endgame or Hydra vs Endgame because these bots have all had amazing performance for the last few seasons and have been destroying basically everything in it's path.
I would love to see HexBugs for HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGEEEE and I dunno, maybe Gigabyte. There's so many worthy bots for toys, so in all honesty what I'd really like to see is at least two sets a year, do a premium set for bots with complex multi-stage weapons like Skorpios and Tantrum, and then a regular set for some more straight forward bots like Hydra and End Game.
Cobalt vs ghost raptor. For ghost raptor 2 buttons on the top with one activating the weapon and the other activating the lifter. For cobalt he will have 1 button activating the spinner. Cobalts spinner will be a lot more powerful than pervious vertical spinners. Enough to get an opponent into the air a bit. Another idea would be skorpios vs cobalt because I’m you both are fighting each other in the re:MARS event. Cobalt would be the same in the other idea and skorpios would be around the same as sawblaze.
I think Valkyrie would be my first choice, using the same build idea as the Rotator for the undercutter. Then second is Subzero with the same flipper mechanism as the Bronco toy
Out of all the possible bots they could do for a hexbug rival set hear me out on this but Blip and Tantrum. It's kind of a perfect duo for a rival set given well both are from the same team both are super cute and both could be cool for a hexbug given well a "fly wheel" hexbug (just a normal flipper with a drum inside to create the gyro effect) could be super fun to drive and Tantrum being a champion could make it a interesting especially given Tantrum needs 3 controls for the self righter puncher and the spinner .
I do think the angle grinder was a bit excessive for the box, but you said toy packages in general... I'd be lying if I said that doesn't seem appropriate for those plastic bubble packages that nobody likes but almost everything in the 2000s came in... As for the Hexbugs thing, Skorpios finally getting one would be great in a Rivals pack with ICEwave, both because of the bounty match from last year but also both bots have been on BattleBots since the newer series was on ABC and are still around, it'd be fitting for two bots that have cemented veteran status to get a pack together.
It would've been better after the 2020 Season, but because of the numerous times they played each other including bounties (maybe it was just twice, but twice is more than most bots play each other in a fight card season), I'd like to see Gigabyte and Copperhead. Copperhead could be done quite easily, with most likely the back plate and then splitting the top into two being the ones to come off? Though for Gigabyte there would be more of a challenge. Even seeing a full body spinner (that weird helicopter on tracks doesnt count) in the line would be iconic, and you can't say no to that gorgeous paint job on _both_ bots. Like I said, it would've been more appropriate after the 2020 season, but we got the old RotatoR after 2020 so anything's possible.
Id like to see scorpios in the next rivals pack (im not just pandering i promise) packaged with a cobalt (a bit of a nod to the remars fight) theyre both bots with a long history, both championship contenders and fan favorites
![Retro BATTLEBOT Toy UNBOXING!!! [Builder Blog Ep. 72]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/eczCy8wAhas/mqdefault.jpg)
Next year I would like to see them make a Tantrum vs Hydra rivals pack. For tantrum, have one button that spins the spinner and one that activates the puncher. For hydra you could have one button that lowers the flipper and one button that fires it, or have it just have it all on one button like Bronco. There’s a lot of possibilities though, who knows what they come up with!
That would definitely need to be a premium pack. Hydra would be op if the wedgelets are low to the ground.
Absolutely agree with you khaotic, but with hypershock and rusty they look Absolutely amazing and function perfectly. I don't even mind that they're triple a powered again.
It'd be good if the drive was one of the things that is removable, it'd be realistic.
The problem is that the motor is inside Tantrum's disk; even in Platinum, there would hardly be any space for it to work. They could try a friction motor in the disk that triggers when you move the puncher
@@ishakehands possibly yes.
Also I still think hexbug needs to make Nightmare
It’s the bot that I think deserves it the most because it had a 20 year run, and is trying making another comeback, Jim’s done so much for the community
Including inspiring me to try and get into combat robotics myself
A BB vintage legends series would be really cool. Bronco, the Vlads, Biohazard,Minion, Tazbot, Mauler, Atomic Wedgie.etc etc too many
@@d.aardent9382 bronco had already been made twice
I think you mean T-Minus, The Matador, or Toro
I’m proud my boy got a hexbug, I’m Rusty all the way. A bot I think deserves a hexbug is Stinger. Either of the fork or the wedge configuration would be cool, but they probably would make the fork one because it’s probably easier design wise.

I mod Hexbugs a lot so I'd like Blip (because a compact flipper would make so many mods more feasible!) and even though it didn't feature as much last season I'd love to see a Valkerie with interchangeable blades!
The next hexbug sets have to be Endgame vs Bloodsport, while the Rivals platinum have to be Tantrum vs Skorpios
Tantrum and Scorpios is a great idea for the rivals pack. Both have two weapons and Tantrum's one would be entirely unique to the line. Both deserving of a model, too.
I would love lockjaw and cobalt. Cobalt exploding ghost raptor makes it one of the fan favorites and lockjaw is so iconic and I think it's time donald gets a new toy!
Also episode 69. Nice.
Definitely skorpios vs malice 🤤 that would be awesome🔥
Nightmare and Icewave.
They did have a fight before, and it was pretty decent so I guess you *could . Nightmare is also perhaps one of the most iconic bots that does not already have a hexbug toy. And imagine how insane and fun it would be to have a remote control nightmare!

A rivals pack I would like is Tantrum and Ribbot (with interchangeable weapons). Both bots were successful on the show and are interesting designs for Hexbug BattleBots.
I would want the next Rivals pack to include Wrecks and Skorpios! Skorpios is well deserving of a Hexbug, and Wrecks would be hilarious fun to try and walk around.
Also I just really miss Wrecks ❤️
to Rusty " ALL HAIL THE KING!!!!!"
I was late but still caught it! Fun times
Valkyrie could be an interesting Hexbug for the future since they have six interchangeable blades on the show. If Hexbug could make at least two blades and make it so different blades could snap on and off, that could be a huge selling point.
Kind of like how Rotator’s blades can pop off
I definitely agree it’s time for Skorpios to get its own HexBug! It’s opponent should be everyone’s favorite little angry iron fist Tantrum. And no I don’t need a circular saw to cut open a box!
I would love a icewave vs skorpios rivals pack because one you guys get a toy and my other favorite; icewave also gets a toy and every time you guys fought it was always epic
Skorpios & Dragon King. That way you guys can have your Minis in the shop with their Robot Parents! :)
I think that either a skorpios/malice or a gigabyte/hydra would be fun to see
Hexbug would realistically make another Tombstone reskin.
However I think that SOW deserves a hexbug as well as Hydra to make like a Whyachi Robotics pack. We will see who the best Whyachi is once and for all.
Yea that makes sense but S.O.W it retired again if I’m correct so it’s possible for fusion instead
I really want hydra and skorpios, i don't know how skorpios has been around so long and still has no toy, and it would just be cool to have another flipper robot.
Tantrum and End Game.
The two champions.
Hydra and tantrum would make a great rivals platinum set! With the higher budget they could both have all the decals on both bots. They can easily make tantrums puncher with a 3 pully system (two pullys are in a stationary position at two ends while the 3rd is comnected to the spinner.

Hydra could have a fully powered 6 wheel drive system and would benefit from a lower profile lipo battery.
Hydra vs Gruff
Skorpios vs HUGE
Hydra with bikerack but can still be used as flipper aswell vs HUGE
Malice vs Blacksmith
Skorpios ofc vs Lockjaw
Skorpios vs Deathroll
To much i can think i know i mentioned some packs in the past i do like to see but forgot wich ones
I would obviously want skorpios for my first choice but also blip or shatter For skorpios is just because its obviously one of the greatest and blip since I want to see a breakout star thats so recent and same with shatter as well for the same reasoning.
I would love to see Blip and Tantrum as HexBugs!
I think a really cool rivals pack would be: HUGE VS MAMMOTH. The 2 largest bots getting their own pack would be awesome. Plus, they are so unusual in their shape and size that it would make them stand out from all the other packs so far.
I am desperate for an
Endgame vs Cobal. I've gone far beyond obsession with them. Cobalt would work as any other spinner, with the forks coming off in pairs of 2 and the 2 top pannles coming off as well. Although they might need to be the new platinum rivals due to them being so compact. Endgame would work by one button being the spinner and the other being the back self-righter (if im spelling that correctly). The top plate of endgame would come off as well as the forks in the front coming off in a pair of 2. They should both be on par with bite force in terms of weapons and be forced to use a more tactical approach when fighting one another. Sorry for how much, again, a bit obsessive.....
Tantrum vs hydra since that fight was my second favorite of the season (followed by tantrum vs rotator)
I would like a pack for son of whyachi and copperhead. First of all, they have faced off in the box, which fits the theme of rivals. Secondly, they are both powerhouses. Thirdly, they both have some history, with S.O.W being a classic bot and Copperhead being a revamped version of Poison Arrow. Lastly, they’re both kinda famous in the robot fighting community. That or Hydra Vs Skorpios for obvious reasons. Those are the bots I would want.
I agree that Skorpios is due for the Hexbugging but I would also really love to see Hijinx!
Skorpios And Icewave
Yes I know. Skorpios. But hear me out.
Both have fought twice. One of them being in a bounty finals! We already have sawblaze. So why not skorpios? And IceWave is a legend in their own right. I think this is a good idea!
I do feel that Lockjaw needs a HEXBUG toy because it's a major name in the whole robot combat community. Not to mention Donald is an awesome driver and bot builder.
Zach's Dreame is Skorpios vs Lockjaw
The next Rivals pack I would like to see would be Tantrum, because I'd like them to pull of that wepon system, and Gigabyte, because I'd like to see a full body spinner.
Also if they did Tantrum, they could make his fists fly off so you could replicate the iconic moment with Tombstone. :)
I think the reason Hexbug didn't do the OG Rusty is because of the narrow shape. Rusty Jr. on the other hand was a bit more wider and was a bit simpler to pull off.
Next one is Scorpios of course, and I wish they would allow these to be bound to a real rc radio :)
Kraken and Cobalt would be awesome. Both Matts have been around doing Combat robot fighting for decades.
Hydra and Skorpios! Don’t know about this but I would love it
For me it has to be Tantrum and Blip!
The sibling rivalry, Tantrum being the Reigning Champion and Blip! Being such an exciting new flipper (flippers are definately lacking in the Hexbug Lineup)
This is perfect.
Bedbug should make Skorpios vs Tantrum. Both are really nice looking bots!
I'm sitting on my living room floor, in front of my A/C, playing with mine while watching CZcams. :)
Captain Shrederator vs Gigabyte would be a welcome addition to the field ;) The lack of full body spinners must be dealt with :)
Skorpios and Fusion. That what I want to see next.
I'm so happy for Dave and the Hypershock team getting these. They look great! Would love to see all builders keep getting their bots made into toys - Hexbug just seems like a company that gets they're making toy robots of actual robots and make them so detailed for being a toy. I could see a set of Blip and Tantrum doing well together. But Skorpios with say End Game or Uppercut? That would be a fun one to have.
So happy hexbug fixed ducks lifter
Hexbug is doing such a good job at making accurate and well functioning toys that i would love to see if they could make some of the more complex and unqiue designs, maybe shatter and mammoth? If they can do those it would prove they could replicate any robot in my opinion.
The next Hexbug Rival pack should defintely be Skorpios and MaDCaTer. I mean... those two definitely deserve their shot at being rivals let alone being made as Hexbug.
Glitch v Hydra because come on that was a pretty cool match.
Love the ending lol
Let's get some old school ones, Mega-Tento and Nightmare. I love both of them because they were unique bots and super cool builders
Gigabyte vs Free Shipping. Because we need a full body spinner hex bug. And we need a flame throwing hexbug. Maybe a small refillable butane tank :) And what better team captains than John Mladenik and Gary Jin?!
And of course Skorpios deserves one!
For the standard pack, hydra vs endgame is what it should be. For the rivals, copperhead vs tantrum. Copperhead does only have the one action, but I think it needs the lipo to get as small as copperhead is. I think it would also be super cool to get a modular ribbon in the rivals pack. It could probably include a srimech with that extra action.
This year i would like a Skorpios vs Hydra pack!! Two of my favorite robots!!
I think it would be cool if they made Chomp (even though he's a 500 lbs walker) but he still goes by the rules.
I would love to see Free Shipping and Mammoth because they're so much fun to watch, win or lose! Although... They may have to neuter the fire on Free Shipping. The other set I would love to see would be Tantrum + Blip because they're such cute sibling bots that have done extremely well and have come a long way from the awkward little bot that faced a cheeseburger and got its fists chopped by Tombstone.
How about a throwback? Warhead and Nightmare. For Warhead the 3 removable pieces can be the arms and the tail. For Nightmare the removable parts could be the wheel guards and part of the top back plate.
Mammoth and HUGE would make a great rivals pack
the maga sized bot bash playset!
I'd like to see Uppercut and Free Shipping.
Gary Gin is a legend and Uppercut is such a powerful bot.
And to go along with your comment on paint apps, Free Shipping could get the fewer paint apps, with Uppercut getting the more detailed bot.
Scorpios of course, but it would be cool to bring back some classic contenders from back in the 90s like Vlad the Impaler, Minion or Toe Crusher.
I think of all robots I would want it would be Bloodsport and Uppercut. Both had good rookie seasons with some struggles and then came out of nowhere and are now considered to be major threats.
I have a list of bots i would like to a be a hexbug battlebot
1. Your bot truly, Skorpios, if hexbug can make a sawblaze, they can make a skorpios
2. Endgame
3. gigabyte, i have no idea how this will work but it would be cool
3. ribbot, another undercutter would be cool
4.black dragon, pretty underrated bot in my opinion

5.Gruff is basically a bronco counterpart
6.updated RotatoR
7. valkyrie would be a cool undercutter
8.updated blacksmith
9. cobalt
10.Yeti, a classic one since season 1
11.subzero similar to bronco
12. lockjaw
13. P1
This is my list, thank you for taking your time to read this, have a nice day!
I think Hexbug needs to add the Malice vs Skorpios. I really enjoyed the match.
Opening up these hex battle bits might actually require a grinding wheel, I had a hell of a time opening mine lol
Oh man, there are so many bots that I would love to see get a Hexbug. I think a really cool set would be Tantrum and Blip since they are from the same team and you get some variety. You would get a cool flipper out of Blip and a unique fisting weapon with Tantrum🤜. Not to mention Tantrum was the recent season’s champ. Another cool set I would love would be Jackpot and Deadlift for a rivals pack. Both teams are now 1-1 against each other. Would have a lifter and a vertical spinner and I really love the look of these two(especially Jackpot).
If the toy is held in place in the box with twist-ties, then YES! you need a grinding wheel to get them out!
A unique rivals pack for next year could be Deadlift vs Jackpot. Deadlift could have two buttons independently for the suplexer but I think it could be done with one with a sequence of event, so arm lifter up then it resets. Jackpot could have a static self righter like the witch Doctor toy from 2018. Jackpot would have the dual blades that would be cool to see with the glitter and detail on it. Even though these bots may not be considered “big” enough to be actual hexbugs, they have battled before with some legendary moments
Well, I was going to say Skorpios and Yeti but Zach mentioned Skorpios already. I have a few opinions. If Hexbug thought about going back into Battlebots history, it would be neat to have throwbacks like Overkill and Disector. For current BattleBots, I would say Copperhead and Gigabyte. Both are popular plus I just thing it would be a cool idea to have a full body spinner. If that idea wouldn’t be possible, my other one would be Kraken and Black Dragon. Black Dragon I think is getting more popularly and Kraken has had some very good fights. Since both robots use fire, it would be nice to see Hexbug have a little plastic fire piece come out of the the robot to act like a flame thrower.
This is not out of bias but i think the next rivals pack should be Skorpios and Lockjaw! Multiple meetings in the battlebox and would be 2 unique robots to turn into hexbugs.
Side note but I think Ribbot would be a great build your own hexbug choice with their multiple weapon configurations
Congratulations! you are this weeks winner! Thank you for reaching out and getting us your shipping info, we will get it in the mail to you asap!
Next year I would like to see a DeathRoll and Skorpios from Hexbug
Grinding tool, 100% essential when it comes to opening toys, especially HEXBUG toys.
Original Shuffler SOW and Chomp because heavy toys means more power, more fun also makes for a fun engineering challenge for Hexbugs
How cool would it be if Hexbug did a legacy bot series? I had an old Overkill toy when I was a kid, and I still like a lot of the less practical and more experimental designs of early Battle Bots.
The intro made me feel like it was 2019 lol 💀
For the next Hexbug Rivals set, I'd absolutely LOVE to see a Platinum set that uses Lipos with Tantrum and Blade!
Tantrum obviously because they're the reigning champion, and having that punching vertical spinner would be really fun to have in toy form. One button could be used to spin up the weapon, and the other would be used to make it punch forward.
And Blade cause the bot itself is absolutely BEAUTIFUL, and Team ORBY is my favorite international team! The bot would look absolutely amazing as a toy, and we need more horizontal spinners in the line since Tombstone is still the only one in the line. Blade's RC would be four-wheel drive just like the real thing, and one button would be used to spin up the weapon, and the other could be used to implement a working self-righter just in case it were to get flipped over. If we were to get a Blade Hexbug, I'd probably never put it down 😄💛🇰🇷🍌🥕
I think this set would be a really fun challenge for the engineer is over at Hexbug, and it would of course also make both Aren and CheogGyu's day seeing their bots being immortalized into the Hexbug hall of fame and would serve as the ultimate validation for them. Receiving a Hexbug of your bot is its own version of winning a Giant Nut, as Ray Billings once put it. Hope to see that happen sometime in the future!!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Would love to see Nightmare vs Skorpios!
We would like to see Huge and Mammoth!
nice
you know what, why stick with the modern era of battlebots only? it'd be so cool to have hexbug do a legacy line, and my two picks would be the Ronin, and the legendary Diesector!
Next year I would love to see tantrum v. Blip. I think tantrum would have 3 buttons one to start spinner and one to punch and activate self righter at the same Time and for blip maybe one to start the flywheel and one to activate it. I want to see theese because they are both from the same team and I would like to see tantrum v blip irl
I would like to see Riptide vs Endgame or Hydra vs Endgame because these bots have all had amazing performance for the last few seasons and have been destroying basically everything in it's path.
I would love to see HexBugs for HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGEEEE and I dunno, maybe Gigabyte. There's so many worthy bots for toys, so in all honesty what I'd really like to see is at least two sets a year, do a premium set for bots with complex multi-stage weapons like Skorpios and Tantrum, and then a regular set for some more straight forward bots like Hydra and End Game.
Hexbug Triple Crown. Swerve drive seems like it could be fun to drive
Let's go 10k!
Yes please!
I so need this, it's bloody awesome!
Cobalt vs ghost raptor. For ghost raptor 2 buttons on the top with one activating the weapon and the other activating the lifter. For cobalt he will have 1 button activating the spinner. Cobalts spinner will be a lot more powerful than pervious vertical spinners. Enough to get an opponent into the air a bit.
Another idea would be skorpios vs cobalt because I’m you both are fighting each other in the re:MARS event. Cobalt would be the same in the other idea and skorpios would be around the same as sawblaze.
I think Valkyrie would be my first choice, using the same build idea as the Rotator for the undercutter. Then second is Subzero with the same flipper mechanism as the Bronco toy
Out of all the possible bots they could do for a hexbug rival set hear me out on this but Blip and Tantrum. It's kind of a perfect duo for a rival set given well both are from the same team both are super cute and both could be cool for a hexbug given well a "fly wheel" hexbug (just a normal flipper with a drum inside to create the gyro effect) could be super fun to drive and Tantrum being a champion could make it a interesting especially given Tantrum needs 3 controls for the self righter puncher and the spinner .
I do think the angle grinder was a bit excessive for the box, but you said toy packages in general... I'd be lying if I said that doesn't seem appropriate for those plastic bubble packages that nobody likes but almost everything in the 2000s came in...
As for the Hexbugs thing, Skorpios finally getting one would be great in a Rivals pack with ICEwave, both because of the bounty match from last year but also both bots have been on BattleBots since the newer series was on ABC and are still around, it'd be fitting for two bots that have cemented veteran status to get a pack together.
Next year I would love a Ribbot and Hydra combo because ribbot was the 2# seed and then hydra had to ruin it for me
Just got them today, and they are RAD. Hopefully they give us Blip, and/or Tantrum. Blip vs. Tantrum maybe?
It would've been better after the 2020 Season, but because of the numerous times they played each other including bounties (maybe it was just twice, but twice is more than most bots play each other in a fight card season), I'd like to see Gigabyte and Copperhead. Copperhead could be done quite easily, with most likely the back plate and then splitting the top into two being the ones to come off? Though for Gigabyte there would be more of a challenge. Even seeing a full body spinner (that weird helicopter on tracks doesnt count) in the line would be iconic, and you can't say no to that gorgeous paint job on _both_ bots. Like I said, it would've been more appropriate after the 2020 season, but we got the old RotatoR after 2020 so anything's possible.
The 2 new Hex Bugs I would like to see are Mammoth and Huge.
I'd love it, if HEXbug would do a special go Big or go HHHUUUUGGGEEE quad PACK with Deep6, Mammoth, Smeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee and HUGE
I would like to see an Tantrum vs Blip rivals pack, that way we can have a pack of cute eyed robots
Cobalt and scorpios would be a good rival pack
Skorpios and lockjaw
I like robots
Would like to see a Nightmare, or Son Of Wyatchi one.
Id like to see scorpios in the next rivals pack (im not just pandering i promise) packaged with a cobalt (a bit of a nod to the remars fight) theyre both bots with a long history, both championship contenders and fan favorites
