The series 3 version fitted with the srimech
Hypno-Disc was the first UK competitor robot to be turned into a pullback. It featured the horizontal flywheel of the real robot, activated by moving the pullback forward/back, as the front wheels axle connects to the flywheel. The rear armour was interchangeable, allowing the user to attach the spiky rear end of the Series 4 iteration (without the srimech), or the plain armour of the Series 3 version, this armour also featured the srimech. Underneath the armour plates was a small representation of Hypno-Disc's innards.

It has the wheels from the Series 3 version, but the tyres on them can come off and are easily lost. The pullback's flywheel is based on the series 3 version of Hypno-Disc, as it has the same type of teeth seen on that model (one on the edge of the flywheel, one on the top). A pitstop and a minibot were also released.
Accessories
The blocks, resembling the Robot Wars logo
The Hypno-Disc pullback came with a grey wall, similar to the ones at the beginning of the Series 2 Gauntlet. When assembled properly, the bricks show the Robot Wars Logo on the front.

Difference from real life
- Of the two shells featured with the toy, the flat Series 3 shell has the srimech and the spiky Series 4 shell does not, even though the real Hypno-Disc didn't feature a srimech until Series 4.
- The two rear spikes on the Series 4 shell are massively oversized, presumably a creative choice, as they should be the same size as the spikes on the top.
- Despite being based upon the Series 4 version of Hypno-Disc, it features the Series 3 wheels.
- The disc and blades of the model are from the Series 3 incarnation of the robot; for Series 4 the blades were changed so that they were thicker and more potent to its victims, and the disc was made slightly more conical in shape.
- The disc spins in the wrong direction when the toy moves forwards, but in the correct direction when moving backwards.
