There's the Bot Shots. I will take 1 of everything please. I hope they come out with another Decepticon launcher to balance out the teams. Perhaps Shockwave to be Ironhides opposite. Interesting that the 3 packs are coming as 2 of one faction and 1 of the other where the first 2 3-packs were an Autobot pack and a Decepticon pack.

I've got 3 version of the Optimus mold already, but I really want the chase Optimus. The clear blue looks nice. I'm also surprised to see that Thundercracker isn't a straight up repaint of Starscream, and has a different facial expression and chest detail.

The only thing I see in the Bot Shot's gallery I might skip is the Matrix Battle set. I'd like Brawl in green, but not sure I want another Megatron and Optimus launcher, and another BB.

The Powerglide is super cute to me:)

for those of you who collect botshots.. do you play with them? or display them? or both? or fiddle around with them? i just never quite understood the appeal to collectors.

i get that they're a little neat, but for me, it's not worth the money.

speaking of money.. i've never seen dealer room prices before.. but some, in not all, of those prices seem just a bit ridiculously high.. is there a reason for this? .. or is that standard in the market today? .. i haven't trolled ebay in a while cause i haven't needed anything.. but when i did, the prices weren't nearly this high.

I got some of them from Hasbro's free give-out. They are fit into your pocket and they transform "automatically" which is kinda neat~

The dealers room is "where amazing happens"...

They are fun to have in large quantities on your desk to display/fiddle with whenever you are bored. They are compact, and fun to close up and the let them spring open. They are just cool little super-deformed guys that are great homages to many different characters. I've considered stripping away the game-stickers and seeing about getting some little reprolable faction symbols (if they make them that small) and slapping them on them.

Plus, they are cheap, and I can buy a handful of them for a $20

If I learned anything walking around the dealers room with my friends back in 2010, it is that the sticker price is the sucker price. You have to get your haggle on.

Couple of weird BotShots, opaque green seeker (Anyone know who that is), Shockwave is not a Superbot.

The green and silver one by Jetfire and Powerglide is labeled as being Skyquake.

And give it time, I'm sure we will get a clear purple Shockwave eventually, if all goes well.
