The weapon bar on the original prototype Tombstone toy was orange rather than red.

Tombstone was the first toy in the HEXBUG remote control line to have three unique releases, with red, blue and black spinning bars among other aforementioned changes.

However, this toy was first spotted packaged individually in August 2022. This version of the toy was originally only available as part of the Arena MAX set.

The unique sticker included with the toy when ordered from HEXBUG's website. The magnets holding its rear panels in place were made stronger and it features slightly more powerful drive and weapon motors. The weapon itself is also unique, as Tombstone's blue bar with weight-saving holes is replicated in this variation. This version features Tombstone's all-black look which it adopted from the 2020 season onward, as well as the armor protecting its weapon support. The third edition of Tombstone packaged individually.Ī third version of Tombstone was released in 2021 as part of the Arena MAX playset, alongside a repainted Tank chassis from the Build Your Own Bot line of custom chassis. Initially released in 2018 exclusively alongside the updated version of Minotaur in an Arena set, the black bar edition of Tombstone was later also released individually.

The most notable difference, however, was the large black bar with white wording across the top. The second version featured a very similar chassis to its initial release, but the side panels were now black rather than gray, and sport the logos of NPC Motors, one of Tombstone's major sponsors.

The second version of Tombstone packaged as a single release. Much like Ray Billings' machine, the HEXBUG toy is able to run upside-down. It is a highly accurate representation of the real robot, with the Tombstone name adorning the top panel and its tubular weapon support replicated in the toy. The first version of Tombstone sports its iconic solid red bar and is based off its World Championship I look - specifically how it looked in 2015 season fights against Bronco and Bite Force. In the case of all three Tombstone HEXBUG remote control releases, both rear panels and the large top panel can be removed. Much like other toys in the range, Tombstone features removable parts which come off to mimic damage.
