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.

YES, G1 Ironhide and Shockwave. Been waiting for these guys. I might pick up the CJ/Brawl/Dirt Boss set too, even though I don't care much for Dirt Boss. And is that an Aerialbot set? Awesome, but they really need some more Decepticons. I'm still waiting for a G1 Megatron. Oh, and Sunstorm is the first clear one that actually sort of makes sense. I'll still pass though, since I don't collect him normally. Though I did get the Kreon version...

Hasbro.

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

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