Sergeant Bash/RC

The Sergeant Bash Radio Controlled Toy was a battling robot released at the same time as Tornado. Sergeant Bash could be bought on its own or purchased with the Tornado toy. Like the Tornado toy, Sergeant Bash came with an immobilising hot spot, hidden under the rear armour. A crucial bump would send the panel off, and if the hot spot was hit three times, the robot would be immobilised. The claw weapon is powered by running its own wheel along the ground. Rather disappointingly, the claw can't be controlled, the rear saw weapon doesn't work, but the flamethrower turret does turn around 360 degrees. The remote control has two sticks, and pushing both forward will drive the robot forwards and pushing the sticks back will send the robot into reverse. If one stick is forward and one stick is behind, the robot will spin. Pushing the right stick forward only will turn the robot left, and vice versa for making the robot turn right. Sergeant Bash was built for battling the other toys, and so is built like a brick. The weapon is also designed to prevent serious injury.
