- The Minibots were small, metallic pullback toys based on competitor robots and House Robots that appeared in the original series of Robot Wars. Unlike the larger Pullbacks and Pitstop Toys, most of these Minibots did not have moving weapons, but had two playsets, including a miniature replica of the Robot Wars Arena, to 'fight' in.

- The Minibots were small, metallic pullback toys based on competitor robots and House Robots that appeared in the original series of Robot Wars. Unlike the larger Pullbacks and Pitstop Toys, most of these Minibots did not have moving weapons, but had two playsets, including a miniature replica of the Robot Wars Arena, to 'fight' in. The Minibots were manufactured by Feva and sold exclusively at Argos in packs of two, three or five. Two generations of Minibots were released. The first was released in 2001 and featured Razer, Hypno-Disc, Panic Attack, Pussycat, X-Terminator 2, Chaos 2, as well as all of the House Robots that appeared in Series 4-5. These Minibots were particularly based on the Series 4 versions of the robots they were based on, with series-specific details such as X-Terminator 2's flipping arm and Matilda's chainsaw tail being incorporated into their designs. Only three of these first series of Minibots had moving parts - Pussycat's blade, Sir Killalot's arms, and Sergeant Bash's flamethrower. The second generation was released in 2002, which consisted of Wild Thing, Firestorm 3, Tornado, Mega Morg, Suicidal Tendencies, Gemini, Plunderbird 5, Dominator 2 and Wheely Big Cheese. These minibots were based on each robot's Series 5/Extreme 1 incarnations, with series-specific details including Wild Thing's disc and Dominator 2's wheelguards. Six of the second generation Minibots had moving parts, such as Suicidal Tendencies' claw and the flipping arms of Gemini, but, interestingly, these six were not made into corresponding Pullbacks. According to a behind-the-scenes article from the second issue of the Titan Robot Wars Magazine, a third generation of Minibots was also planned for release, which would have consisted of nine more competitors and Minibot versions of Mr. Psycho and Growler. However, they never entered production, and no further information on this third series currently exists. The Minibots all had the same small pullback mechanism with three wheels, except for Sir Killalot, which had four wheels. This lead to some robots, such as Pussycat having rather distorted proportions to accommodate the shape of the pullback mechanism, while outside wheels or tracks were made static for Minibots based on robots which had them, such as those for Hypno-Disc and Sir Killalot. Minibots based on invertible robots, such as Tornado and Wheely Big Cheese, could not run inverted either, as the motor's wheels were only located on one side of the toy.
