Also, since I wasn't expecting to find them any time soon, I never looked up the "recommended buys" for this wave to see which ones entailed the least number of purchases to collect all the figures. Ergo, I stood there for about ten minutes debating which ones to buy, slowly whittling down my choices to four, then two simply based on which ones appeared in the fewest packs. Turns out the last two I eliminated were the "recommended buys," and the two I bought were superfluous. The figures I'd assumed were rare were going to be readily available in the five-packs.

The idea of BotBots and how they came to be stemmed from a meeting in the office of Senior Director of Global Brand Marketing Ben Montano. Talking with his team of designers, [Paulino] posed a simple question: "how do we create everyday objects that have more than meets the eye feel and what would it look like?"
"We wanted to keep the property a little bit loose, Paulino's team really brought what an apple or a sneaker brought to life would be," Montano said. "The seriousness that is most of our storytelling. just felt like it wasn't the best place to play here."

yeh, pretty cool. People are seeing this as a return to those Computer Warrior toys. I know Cobotron would get a kick out of these too if he were still around the boards.

Oh he does, we've talked about it.
I find this so stupid in a great way and both my wife and I are excited to see what happens

I'm not 100% sure which one you mean. There was an orange one in series 2 that sort of looked like a large laundry soap dispensor, but was actually like a mechanic's hand soap called Gorrilla Grimes. That one was also redecoed blue in Series 5 and called Flood Jug.
Are either of those the ones you are looking for?
