Editorial Review
Long before TV shows like Battlebots, there were these guys: two plastic boxers battling it out in a ring, tirelessly jabbing at each other in an effort to knock their opponent's block off. Years go by and these fighters (creatively referred to in my house as "the blue one" and "the red one") are still at it, still operated by two players working simple controllers, and still madly punching in an effort to knock loose the other fellow's spring-loaded head. As was traditionally the case, it takes a while to maneuver the robots such that you can even land any punch, let alone a knockout blow. But for intense silly robot fighting, without the hassle of batteries, these guys are still champs. --John Moe

Customer Reviews

Utter Trash
I've never played with the original set, so I have no basis for comparison, but the 2 sets I have bought (the first as a gift for someone else) are utter trash. The robots are difficult to manipulate, and even if you have one person hold one robot down and the other punch it repeatedly it still takes an absurdly long amount of time for the head to pop up. No play value at all.

SUPER FANTASTIC!!!
I am only 11, so I've obviously never played the original version, but this is GREAT. I expected it to be almost puny, but it's big enough (though the original version was probably better because it's bigger and it made a whiz sound when their block gets knocked off).The only problem is that the blue bombers block gets knocked off a bit easier than the red rocker, but it's not a big deal. Overall it's an absolutely great game (but the original was probably twice as good!!).
