#battroborg

We came. We saw. We kicked some robot ass. Can I say ass in this post? Sure, why not? You see, there was a score to settle, and that score was between a bunch of dads, a few beers, a GameTruck full of awesome, and those robots I was talking about: Battroborg. Hilarity ensued.

It was all part of an official L.A. Dads Group meetup, and the good folks at GameTruck and Battroborg were kind enough to provide the entertainment.

We provided said scores to settle.

The Battroborg competition consisted mainly of grown men cursing loudly and taking out the frustrations of our reality upon the robots of each other. You know, bonding.

But that’s not all! Kids will most likely enjoy Battroborgs, too, because a) it’s a toy, and b) who doesn’t love cursing loudly?

It turns out that Toys “R” Us agrees, because they have named Battroborg to their “Hot Toy List” and you saw it here first.

Battroborg: Das Roboter-Kampfspektakel von Tomy im Praxistest!

Bereits seit einem Jahr sind die Battroborg in Japan erhältlich, Tomy bringt diese Kampfroboter jetzt auch nach Deutschland. Zum Preis von knapp 90 Euro erhaltet ihr zwei witzig aussehende Mini-Mechs sowie eine große Arena. Das klingt nach launigem Spaß…

Well, if you can be just a bit more patient, the vicious little toys should be landing stateside in time for Christmas. Tomy was nice enough to bring them by our office for a little preview and to help us work out some intra-office tension. So, beyond the obvious Wii and Rock’em Sock’em Robots comparisons, what’s it like piloting these …

What to do for Sandycation? I know, Battroborg robots! Over the summer I had my parents help me pick these awesome Tomy Battroborg 2.0 robots in Hong Kong. They're fun to play and it can get intense once they're locked into battle. But the only thing I dislike about these bots are the maneuverability. You'll be punching air for the most part of the fight to turn yourself around and to get close to your opponent.
