PicoZ SkyBot Attack

If you thought the boffins behind the current array of flying playthings had reached their creative peak, you thought wrong. Skybot Attack doesn’t just push the envelope, it posts it to an alternate future and reconstructs it using mad science and all kinds of fantastic technology.

This incredible battle set features twin-channel cyber-warriors capable of shooting each other out of the sky with well-placed infra-red blasts. Score a direct hit and your rival’s rotors will cut out, causing it to plummet to earth. Or Mars, or Tharg, or whatever other planet you’re pretending to fight for. Think miniature Transformers with heli-packs and phasers and you’re halfway there. Robot wars? Not half!

You control your rechargeable robot with a nifty transmitter that doubles up as a charger. Simply plug in for around 20 minutes and your Skybot will fly forwards, backwards, left and right, buzzing about for around five minutes – more than enough time to conduct a full on laser ding dong above the conference table.

SkyBots at the ready...		Put the propellors in a "T" formation...		send them skywards for a fight!

You won’t have to hum macho theme tunes as you battle it out because each Skybot plays cinematic background music when activated. You’ll also hear a sound effect every time you press your controller’s attack button.

Talking of all things cinematic, should film makers decide to make a mash up movie involving Transformers, Robocop and a slew of Japanese mecha characters, it still wouldn’t be as entertaining as Skybot Attack, because waging infra-red aerial warfare takes real strategy and genuine flying skill.

We think Skybot Attack is one of the coolest robot-related flying oojamiflips we’ve ever seen. Actually it’s the only robot-related flying oojamiflip we’ve ever seen. And if that’s not a great reason for ordering, we don’t know what is. ‘Help, I’m going down!’
