[Decepticon Stryker]

Also, I see a Penguin in there. That is awesome.

[Ultra Markus]

what are these things, like shopkins?

[Black Bumblebee]

You know, I can actually see these doing well. There's a market for them. My 4 year grand-daughter loves playing with my transformers (the ones that I know she can't break, at least), but at the same time, she's not exactly into the "action" aspect of it.

She likes her ponies and her shopkins and all that--so merge the two, and you've got a market for young girls and young boys that aren't looking for "war toys" if you catch my drift.

What's a BotBot, can we eats a BotBot? They look delicious!

You know, BOT BOTs? Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew?

[Skritz]

This is kind of...sickeningly adorable?

[Zeedust]

These look new and different, and I've always liked Transformers with weird alternate modes. I hope we find out more about these guys soon.

[First-Aid]

I'm not sure what to think of this...but I'm vaguely frightened.

[SW's SilverHammer]

Well that's odd but kinda cute. Depending on how the actual toys look I miiiiiiiiiiiight buy a few for kitsch and novelty. Especially the coffee mug and penguin. Maybe they could do Fries, Burger, and a Mastershake!

[Nemesis Primal]

...are we about to get an official Hasbro figure of Thew's good friend Ice Scream? That's all I can think of looking at this revealed image, is this guy:

It’s still not kissplayers. Kissplayers made you suck your teeth and avoid anyone learning it. This makes you squint your eyes and ask if hasbro ate all the mushrooms

[ZeroWolf]

Wasn't kiss players Takaras idea?

I thought Transformers have been ruined since they weren't G1? I mean we can't get any worse right?

Besides, wouldn't they need a leather jacket and water skis? Ehhhhhh

Is this really what did it for you or did you just want to say "I'm not into these" using that phrase?

In connection to the 3rd quarter call, Hasbro has unveilled their new Transformers line, Botbots! These are 1 inch Transformers which turn from robot to a variety of every day objects (like Doughnuts and cameras) in 3-5 steps. There will be 61 unique characters to collect. Hasbro sent us official images as well as the fiction regarding this new line (found in bold below). You will also see a full product description with a variety of price points depensing on which kind of set you get. Some are blind bagged like the basic single figure, but when you get a collection you know some of the figures you’re getting but there’s still a surprise one in there as well.

You can view the gallery for the official images here.

BotBots are mischievous little robots who came to life from everyday objects inside a shopping mall! This rare type of Transformers robot is tiny, mischievous, and great at hiding!

Not long ago and somewhere close by, a glowing mist filled with TRANSFORMERS energy called ENERGON came down from the sky and covered a shopping mall. The things inside came to life as little TRANSFORMERS robots! These bots can hide in plain sight as everyday objects, meaning no one knows what's a bot and what's not! Mischievous, funny, and super silly, these are ... BOTBOTS!

When the Energon hit the objects inside, it made them More Than Meets the Eye. Candy, sports equipment, electronics, school supplies, and other things came to life as little Transformers robots. These robots hide in plain sight at the mall, disguised as the stuff we use everyday.

Each BotBots character belongs to a themed team based on what kind of store they belong in.

There are 61 unique 1-inch characters to collect in the first series of BotBots, each with their own individual personality. Like all Transformers, the characters change from an ordinary object into a little robot in just 3-5 easy steps.

The BotBots all belong to different tribes, inspired by product types you might find in a shopping mall, including the "Sugar Shocks" (sweet treats), the "Backpack Bunch" (school equipment), the "Toilet Troop" (bathroom items), the "Techie Team" (electronic gadgets), the "Greaser Gang" (fast food), the "Shed Heads" (gardening gear), and the "Jock Squad" (sporting goods).
