The Sir Killalot radio controlled toy was the most expensive of the House Robots at £79.99-£89.99. It's quite fast and has a recharge time of five hours. Rather disappointingly, the caterpillar tracks don't move, instead, two wheels beneath it drive the robot. However, this gives the robot a maneuverablility advantage as it can turn very fast in any direction without moving forwards or backwards and it can also spin at incredible speed. The eyes also light up when the robot moves in any direction.

These robots were meant for battling the other R/C house robot toys, and are strong and sturdy to reduce the risk of breakages. Like all other radio controlled house robot toys, the weapons are functional. In Sir Killalot's case, the claw will open and close, but the arms are not controlled by remote, they must be positioned manually. The lance doesn't spin like the real Sir Killalot, but it can be used as an effective weapon when the robot toy is spinning. This can throw other robots a reasonable distance and flip them over, it can also act like a barbed harpoon when driven into another robot. i.e. it can be caught between armour plates in certain robots like Shunt or between Matilda's tusks. Sir Killalot is the only remote control house robot battler without an immobilising hotspot making it difficult to beat with the other radio controlled toys.
