Not to big on these guys since they are all the same but shockwave looks pretty good & is somewhat different from the others, think ill pick him up.

I've seen Bot Shots in stores and for what they are they're certainly not cheap. So with that in mind are they really aimed at kids, or are they just a sneaky way to keep the 30yr olds collecting.
And be honest now - none of you are actually using them as game pieces are you? Nobody actually uses the silly slamming-together functionality for entertainment.

Considering that Bakugan, Beyblade, and other such simple "collect and fight" games are exceedingly popular with the kids, yes, making a Transformers version of that is indeed a great way to keep the cash flowing in. :) You don't have to like it, but it's popular with the young'uns.

Wow... I actually kinda like that Dirt Boss. :shock:

Must be the 1st homage to homage the Cybertron Dirt Boss.

Also, the Superion set is pretty neat. Too bad they don't transform. They should make a Stunticon set too...

Super Bot Skyquake? But he's already releas - wait.

These are perfect for my 4 year old - he loves them and has been collecting them from the start. Good way to intorduce younger fans into the toys and no need to worry about missing arms or other parts. Plus they are $3.99 or $4.99 depending on where you buy them from. Not a lot of other "name brand" toys out there selling for less than that.

I noticed that some of them say "Crash to change", some say "Crash to flip", some say "Crash to jump" and some say "Crash to spin". Is this something new? Do some of them actually jump, flip or spin as they transform?

That's Acid Storm. But they already did release a non-transparent Skyquake as well.

I think so, it seems the new molds/transformation schemes are engineered to pop open differently. Cool be cool if they work properly. :D
