I actually have a TON of these (not a complete collection sadly) as well as all of the stickers they originally came with. I was intending to write something up on them in the future. They're actually quite rare online, I've only seen them crop up on eBay a few times and when they do it's usually with a larger lot of junk and people very rarely know to identify them as "Minibots".

I do not have them with me but I intended to pick them up when I visit my family next month. I can't promise you an ETA but if you would still like some images for your project I can provide them for you plus HQ scans of the stickers that the bots came with.

I used to have a lot of dupes of these toys but I traded/sold most of them a long time ago. If I still have some dupes maybe I'll do it again here on GTM. :P

If you have pics of any of the minibots with red links, I'd like them very much. Thanks man :D

Wow you've got a ton of them, nice! :) I think I might have Blunt Force Trauma, plus the sticker graphics for a lot of the ones in the list.

I wish I had a complete set. :(

(As a side note, do you mind if I use images from your Wiki for an article if I want to mention a toy I do not own?)

edit: You might want to update this page -- http://battlebots.wikia.com/wiki/Shish-ka-bot/MiniBot
IMO, it's not one of the "best representations"; this toy has two wheels on top but four on the bottom. :P

Go ahead with the pictures.

Also I just updated that page. That always bugged me with my Crusher MiniBot and later on (once I learned it only had 2 wheels) Punjar.

It doesn't have that authentic "cheap Chinese toy" flavor until you find out they're reusing molds. ;)

bump of the century

We've finally located a Vlad the Impaler Chromebot, and I thought this was special enough to deserve the year bump
