I honestly don't care for these things. Having "official" transformers that turn into food and other "disposable" items just seems odd. If they weren't labelled as Transformers, or were explained away as being completely mechanical, with fake (food) disguises (or were monsters and robots from somewhere else), then I'd be more interested. The other main reason though, is that I can't understand what the bot or alt modes are meant to be half of the time.

Ha!, so they have officially made it big time and have repaints. Damn you Hasbro, you brilliant bastards. I'm going to need that piece of pie.

[Glarryg]

I love these! My kids and I are having a blast with these little guys. It's funny, though, because I was just thinking about possible redecos of Duderoni (the pizza guy), but only in terms of different pizza toppings. This works so much better.

It looks like the Sudsbeard (soap dispenser) redeco might be a jug of plant food (or weed killer?), given the logo on his hat and the fact that the other new team is called the Lawn League.

In that case, I see the belt sander getting turned into a mower in our future.

I saw the 8-packs over the weekend. But I'm trying to limit myself. I have my few that I really want, and they call come in the 5 packs too I believe. The Penguin, the Unicorn, and the Donut are my top 3, also wouldn't mind the earphones

[TF-fan kev777]

also wouldn't mind the earphones

G2 Primus agrees with that sentiment.

It's something called "Poopsie", something about unicorn toys that poop slime or something. I'm not looking it up, I'll start getting weird emails from stores trying to sell it to me and targeted ads. I really don't get toys these days. Maybe Hasbro should start making BotPlops or something?

For those currently engrossed in the newest and arguably strangest addition to the Transformers franchise, we have good news for you! BotBots has just recently acquired merchandise in the form of shirts and sweatshirts, available directly from Amazon.com! Current listings feature five unique designs, in a wide assortment of T-Shirts ($19.99-$21.99), Long Sleeves ($31.99), Crewneck Sweatshirts ($36.99) and Pullover Hoodies ($41.99).



The entire current catalog, including the sample above, can be found here, but only time will tell if new additions are made over time. All current offerings are in stock and ready to ship out, so no need to wait if you want to get your hands on this absurd apparel.

Does this odd expansion to an already odd toyline interest you at all? Do the designs excite you with the prospect of more? If there are more, which BotBot would you like featured? Let us know in the forums below, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for more Transformers News and Reviews.

Bummer, the one I like the best is only available in adult sizes and I wanted to get a matching one for my youngest. Oh well, the one I like second best is still pretty cute.

[joevill]

BroBots? That's adorable!

[Marcdachamp]

These are so cool. I cannot express how fun this line is and how great it is to share with my daughter. Also, might have to buy Nacho Business.

My daughter loves these too. At night before bed, we read tgether as she plays with them a bit. I do really like how unisex they are as a product.

Thanks to a notification from Seibertron ToxicSmoke (better known as TFanPage101), we now know of a new listing on Amazon.ca called "Transformers Botbots Grand Opening Surprise." This listing prices the item at $39.99 CAD, roughly $30.54 USD. This would likely make it more bigger, and have more BotBots than previous packages (1 pack, 5 pack, and 8 pack). The item can't be purchased, at the moment.

If you're curious, the details are:

Product Dimensions: 3.8 x 33 x 29.8 cm ; 998 g
Shipping Weight: 290 g
Item model number: E5362
ASIN: B07JXNXGZH
Date first available at Amazon.ca: Feb. 2 2019

And the descriptions, but it's pretty generic:

What if it's a playset that comes with an exclusive bot bot or something? It could be the mall entrance and then they could sell other parts of the mall later on and you could build it up. That would be cool ^w^. I love these little guys I hope they stick around for a while.

I would love a food court area for all the food related guys. Generic McDonalds, Auntie Anne's, Cinnabon, oh my!

There are also BotBots specifically marketted to girls. And bro, do you juice? Because if so then we have the BotBots for you!
