Excellently crafted by Tiger Electronics! The only problem I
have with it is that much like the Battle Basher version, it cannot run upside
down, but at least it runs on its treads. |
| Vlad the Impaler |

This one seemed to be the worst of the Custom Series bots,
perhaps tied with Son of Whyachi. It was pretty much impossible to get
underneath him from anywhere but the front, whereas the real version has a
higher ground clearance. Another thing is that Vlad has this third lifting fork
in the middle, not something the real Vlad has at all. The fork doesn't do
anything except I guess help Vlad's forks get underneath, although they could've
just made Vlad's design so that the forks do touch the
ground (which happens when his armor is removed) The weapon itself lifts up as
the robot moves, making it almost impossible to time it to get underneath the
opponent. One final note is that there are number 2s on the sides of the
robot (which I have no clue why they're there. Maybe for being in second place to
Biohazard?) and not even the Loctite logo like on the real Vlad and his forks
are orange, not black. |

This one also isn't as well
designed as it could've been. For the most part, it hardly resembles
it's real-life counterpart apart from the rear blade (which is far
closer to the body's actual size, unlike the real Minion) and the six
wheels. The front wedge is basically pointless. It's not even close
enough to the ground to even come close to getting under its opponent
(especially Vlad) Furthermore, it doesn't extend to the top of the
robot, nor does it have any of Minion's decals on it and it has a high
probability of falling off. |
| Son of Whyachi |
| |
I must admit, they got this one's "walking"
ability down pretty well. This one, out of all of them (except El Diablo) seems
to resemble the most like its real-life counterpart but it's weaponry easily
falls off. |

This one can join El Diablo in the "well-made"
club as he has basically the same design as El Diablo in terms of the treads and
chassis. However, like El Diablo, it is due to this chassis that he cannot run
upside down (his weapon gets in the way but I think he would look odd driving
upside down due to the middle wheel being larger) His weapon also doesn't rise
to the sky so to speak like his real counterpart does. |
