Innovation First's new Hexbug Warriors Battling Robots utilise the same technology found in the vibrating Hexbug Nano to propel themselves forward and ‘challenge competitors in sleek new customizable Battle Arenas and Stadiums’.

The Warriors have been launched in American retailers like Walmart and Toys R Us and are set to arrive in the UK in September.

The individul Hexbug Warriors Battling Robots are priced at $7.99 in the 'States and come in four colours, red, yellow, blue, with 12 to collect.

Once they're put in 'Match Mode' each robot's Shock Sensor activiates a damange indicator light which changes colours from green to red, and blinks more rapidly as its health decreases.

There are four different Hexbug Warriors Battle Arenas to collect and each one includes a different pair of Warriors for an RRP of $19.99. Also availble are two Battle Stadium play-sets, which are compatible with the Arenas, and cost $29.99.
