I think I should do a top 5 Gorilla TFs who are not Optimus Primal, it seems to be quite the recurring animal in our hobby.

I'd like that a bunch. You don't monkey around with your lists, they're very appealing.

I am ecstatic that we finally get a guinea pig figure. After the phrase "guinea pigotron" in Autobot Run and the cavisetticon in Animals this is long overdue. (Yes, I do have pet guinea pigs. How could you tell?)

[MeGrimlock78]

Vomit? A latex glove? I don't know if I'm excited or disturbed.

[ZeroWolf]

Is that...han solo's Blaster as a bot bot...

[Seibertron]

I updated the news story to include pre-order links on Amazon as well as additional product images. Thanks for posting so fast earlier today William. Enjoy!

[TF-fan kev777]

I love that one is an Autobot symbol. There had better be a Deception retool/shared engineering in wave 7.

[Stormshot_Prime]

A literal poop, and a poop encrusted toilet plunger

I took it as a Megatron gun becoming megatron but with a Kremzeek face.

[RotorstormNZ]

There are some very cool figures in there, great stuff! But having the toys a year after the show debuts seems like a bit of a miss...then again, it's on Netflix so it'll probably be around for a while.

I think I've found the first Transformer my wife will buy for herself! Although I bet she'd prefer a more friendly bot-mode face...

Close, but not quite.

Today had 2 huge reveals. We got a really good look at the upcoming Blitzwing, which has the entire community talking, and the entire 6th series of Botbots was revealed. While we newsed all that asap for you to be in the know, I'd like to take a moment and highlight a few BotBots just so you too can join in on the fun. One of the BotBots is a robot that transforms into the Autobot logo/symbol. That is wild. But there is wilder. The BotBots now also turn into animals. this brings on a whole new dimension because these are not just inanimate objects gaining sentience but living pets turned into robots. And one of those is a cat who turns into a cat lady. There is almost nothing robotic about that design. And the tail becomes a cane (or whip). This is truly thinking on another level and I simply wanted to share it in case you missed it. These two might make you want to see what other gems are found across this massive reveal and you can see all the rest here.

I didn't seen the face until later, but I definitely agree it is not ideal. Hopefully we also get some later versions with different fur and face patterns.

I took it as a Megatron gun becoming megatron but with a Kremzeek face.

This one is my favorite, a Megatron inspired transforming Kremzeek. I love it!

Anyone else get Beast Wars Happy Meal vibes from some of the animal ones? The dog especially does it for me.

That dog reminded me instead of the sabretooth minicon. Aside from the cat and the cricket I must say I am not a fan of those animals.

[AcademyofDrX]

BOTBOTS!!!

[BERSEKAEL]

his pants are down after potty time lol, now you can't unseen that, pants down syndrome, pass ...

[bluecatcinema]

Cool. Now we just need one who transforms into the Decepticon symbol...

[Triggerdick Megatron]

You beat me to it, Bluecat.

Let's see... which botbot will be the next meme...

THE TURD!

(All the other Transformers laugh at crap bot).

Turdsformer (better name): Come on! I'm not as crap as these TFs...

(Hands long list of TF toys that should never have been made).

All other TFs: Sigh... Yeah you're right...

[RotorstormNZ]

After looking again at the reveals I can see I’ll be spending a fair bit of money on these. I really hope there’ll be codes to help us find the ones we want!

[bearytrek]

I thought the cat-lady bot transformation looked familiar

[D-Maximal_Primal]

I want several of those, but only a couple of them. I don't like that they are doing such large sets, but oh well, I understand it even if I don't want all of them.

I did preorder the racecar sets. I so want that pizza car and the game controller hovercraft. Hopefully March of 2023 is not the actual date though, I can't wait a year!

[Emerje]

Really I just want the controller for some Microman-style fun.

Maybe stick some Micromasters on it or something.
