Get ready to rumble! Rumble Robots are
like BattleBots meet e-pets meet Pokémon. Rumble
Robots is a collectible card game that combines card play
with a battling electronic robot counterpart. First, play
the card game to win cards from your opponent, then swipe
the won cards through your robot to give him more power.
Robots battle in an attempt to kill each other's power
supply, by either tipping them over, hitting their antenna-like
terminate switch, or sapping power via laser attack. The
winning bot gets to collect "treasure points"--registering
their victories in memory. Just out of the box, the robot
is sluggish, none too nimble, and he doesn't have "punch
power" or "laser power." But that is easily
remedied because he comes with five game cards, some of
which can be used to give him more speed, agility, and
battle power. Rumble Bot can travel forward or backwards,
deliver a battery of punches, shout out various cries
of battle, and shoot power-sapping "laser beams"--all
via remote control. Of course if you want to battle, you'll
have to get another bot, and to play a really good game,
you'll have to get extra cards as well. Every bot comes
with a poster depicting all the available power cards.
The remote requires three "AAA" batteries (not
included). The robot requires four "AA" batteries
(not included) and three LR button cell batteries (included).
