The Shunt Minibot was one of several minibots released as merchandise. Like the other House robots, Shunt was one of the first generation of minibots, released in 2001. It has a rather high ground clearance, the scoop is slightly bendy, and is designed to appear battle-damaged. Like most of the other first generation minibots, it has no active weapons, with both the scoop and the axe being static.
