What We Think Fun Factor: Durability: (what this means) The Good: Trash-talking, battle-ready robots The Bad: Controls require some practice In a Nutshell: Have fun throwing punches and popping your opponents top At a Glance Ages: 6 and up Requires: x

Start Looking For a KO
Crusher and Buzzsaw are durable, plastic boxing bots mounted on all-terrain wheels. With lights that flash, signature phrases, and heads that blow their tops when they get Ko'ed, these scrappy little fighters are sure to instigate plenty of fun and some light-hearted rivalries.

These brightly colored B2B Bots come with batteries already installed, so they're ready for battle right out of the box. Simply turn them on, familiarize yourself with the thumb wheels that control movement, punch button, and talk button, and start trying to outwit your opponent. It takes a little practice to make your bot move in a predictable way using the thumb wheels, but once you get it down, quick turns and sneak attacks will make fighting extra fun. Dual channels are provided to avoid radio control mix ups, so you'll want to make sure one bot is set to use the "A" channel and the other is set to use the "B" channel.

Deliver the Final Blow
Be the first to score a KO and watch as the opposing robot's head blows off, lights flash, and sound effects signal your victory. There are two ways to knock out your opponent's robot. Tip the robot over, or reign down blows to activate the punch plates on the sides of the robot's head eight times. Getting the right combination of arcing movement and flying fists to hit the opposing robot's head is trickier than it may seem at first, especially if your nemesis is a veteran fighter. If your robot is KO'd, pop its head back on and flick the power switch off and on again to reset for another battle.

Personalize Your Battle Strategy
Sheets of decals let you add custom touches to your favorite bad 2 the bone bots. Use kill decals to show off your victories, while "gashes" and "punctures" demonstrate your toughness and barbed wire scares off would-be challengers. Then start practicing signature moves, driving in reverse, and punching the talk button at the perfect time to yell out phrases like "Is that all you've got?" and "Now you're going to feel an avalanche, of pain!"

Overall, these quick little bots provide a great way for kids to enjoy competing with each other, and adult testers found that using Buzzsaw to throw some punches at crusher was great stress relief. These guys are designed to hold up well against each others onslaughts, but they are made of plastic and could be damaged over time if they get tossed around, stepped on, or driven through wet or sandy conditions. This seems a minor concern compared with the long lasting fun an epic rivalry between these bots is sure to inspire. After lots of play, you'll need to replace the batteries in your bots to keep going. Crusher and Buzzsaw each run on four "AA" batteries, and each controller uses a 9v battery.

What's in the Box
Two robots, two transmitters, two 9v batteries, eight AA batteries, two tail flag supports, four tail flag stickers, and two sheets of decals.

This review is from: Cepia B2B Bots Crusher and Buzzsaw Robot in Red and Blue - 2 Pack (Toy)

when we gave it to my nephew he opened it right away only to discover a robot was broken, further examination revealed a broken internal solder. I fixed it for him but could have been a big disappointment. also, the heads are too difficult to knock off.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth $[...], barely worth the discounted price, December 25, 2008

This review is from: Cepia B2B Bots Crusher and Buzzsaw Robot in Red and Blue - 2 Pack (Toy)

I can see why this toy is now discounted from its retail price of $[...]. We bought this for our son, and they were a BIG disapointment!

1) The control stick is not great - instead of a joystick or dial, its two wheels that you must press with both thumbs to go forward, and 1 formard/1back to turn.
2) They dont turn well at all.
3) The punching is slow, and NOT independently controlled for each arm. In other words, you push one button down, and the arms do a slow back an forth punching motion
4) As stated before, the heads are quite difficult to knock off.
5) Since we opened them, and they are considered 'electronics', we are STUCK with them now - a WASTE of money....

This review is from: Cepia B2B Bots Crusher and Buzzsaw Robot in Red and Blue - 2 Pack (Toy)

There was an unbeatable deal on the 2 pack of B2B Bots last year and my son wanted them for Christmas we bought them and these are like Rock-Em Sock-Em robots on remote control cars. They are fun, they attack each other and they taunt and jest at each other.

The one thing that makes these not as fun as they could be is that they swing their arms very weakly, their arms can get stuck in the out position and need to be adjusted so they can go back to swinging, they also take forever to pop each other's tops off because they have so little strength to their blows.

Both robots have sensored area's on the sides of their heads where about 5 taps causes them to pop their tops off (like sockem robots popping their heads up) but the hits from the motorized robots don't seem strong enough to trigger it often enough.

I am going to try putting in more powerful batteries instead of the default ones that came with the robots to see if they perform better.
