Battlebots McDonald's Toy Reviews

Overkill
  It would seem that this one was based off of his season 1 design since after that, Overkill doesn't have that curled wedge anymore. Needless to say, this one isn't the best designed since it cannot run upside down, his weapon only goes down instead of completely 180 degrees back and forth and speaking of the wedge, it has little chance to fight against the others. The one thing I was worried about was that his wheels were fixed and he instead had a little motor for his wheels but thankfully that wasn't the case.
Ginsu
  They made this one from Season 2 since in Season 1 he had many more saws and was more flat. Very sturdy design and very accurate to the real thing!
Ankle Biter
  This one is also well designed but there are a few things that I don't like about it. Its saw weapon actually acts as another wheel instead of being separate to allow his wedge to touch the ground. Like Overkill, his wheels are motorized and he uses the wheels his design had so that's decent.
Biohazard
  Well for one thing, this one isn't as well-designed as it could've been. It's wedge skirts make it easy for another bot to come in and flip it over. Second, that same flaw also keeps his lifting arm generally unable to flip any other bots and speaking of the lifting arm it isn't articulated like on the show. Lastly, notice that there are no decals or it's name on the robot. This is the same with Overkill, His name is nowhere on his frame.
Diesector
  This one is filled with drawbacks and only partly resembles his real-life counterpart. His jaws are the first drawback. They move when the robot moves, meaning that it's nearly impossible to time the jaws such that they can grab your opponent. Next are the hammers, they aren't even colored like the real Diesector's pickaxes. The back of Diesector is flat. There is no wedge, let alone hinged wedge to help him out when flipped over. Speaking of being flipped over, his design and his wheels prevent him from driving upside down. Could've been made much better.
Mecha Tentomushi
  Here we have another pretty well-designed bot. I kinda like how her antennae are molded into the dome so that if the bot is flipped, there is no risk of them breaking off.
Mechadon
  I guess they had to adjust his means of movement since he was a walker but they could've at least allowed him to drive in any direction but what they did was make him crab-like.
Mac Attack
  I suppose they did well on this one too, considering that it isn't a Battlebot on the show (hence why there is no Battlebots logo on it). I'll admit they were rather clever giving it saw blades out of the patties but I don't see it fighting too well.
