I think that is a combination of 2 factors. 1) They appear to be very well done and 2) they hit a niche that is so obviously not going to affect or impact the other main lines. Even if they are not for some collectors, there really isn't a concern that they will take away from the other lines.

This thread caused me to dream that they brought Happy Meal Changeables back and one was an actual sized cheeseburger, that was soft, and indiscernible from a real cheeseburger.

Transformers BOTBOTS are the newest craze Hasbro has brought us and we're excited to share a video about the subject with Seibertron as he sits down with his daughters (Madelyn and Katelyn) to discuss the upcoming line and their excitement for it. We recently revealed the product makeup of the series on Monday and so today we're having a discussion about the toyline coming this holiday season to retailers. Transformers BOTBOTS are really invoking and channeling the same energy from the Shopkins brand of toy lines of the past, but with a Transformers twist to it. Check out the video below, as it is extremely adorable, regarding this new line and our excitement for it here at Seibertron!

I'm a little behind on these. They look like a ton of fun and so cheap for what you get for $10. If they look good in person then I'll probably end up with a few packs.

With the school supplies, probably a tape dispenser.

I'm into this. Showed the pics to my son and he thought they were pretty cool. The hard part will be the waiting, or, more specifically, waiting while I hear about all the other cities and countries that are getting these for months before I see any in my local stores.

People are really looking forward to Bot Bots and they should be out soon. There is already a preorder on Japanese site Moonbase which gives us some official images of several Bot Bots showing both their modes. As is common with official images, even these little guys are mistransformed. It seems in a few instances, it is needed to turn the Bot Bot around in order to hide its face, which is not done in all these images. So far we have seen the Bot Bots in either robot or alt mode but never both at once and there are some where we have never a particular mode, like the scissor's robot mode.

Below you will find images of the camera, soft drink, slushie, chocolate bar, fries, fungus, bathroom plant, hot chocolate, binder, school bag, sharpener, boxing glove, cup cake, corn dog, baseball bat, bonzai, venus fly trap, flashlight, mossy stone, scissors and a few more which I am unable to make out properly.

These images are for the box of 24 blind bags but they include Bot Bots which are also found in the other visible assortments (like the boxing glove). Also remember that the blind bags include several Bot Bots that are not available in any other pack.

I want one to be a tomato. And one that turns into a Ronny Desmond album. If you get this reference without having to look it up, then you are an awesome person.

Adults are not the audience here, and that's okay. I hope that the kids enjoy the heck out of these.

Is anyone else thinking these might raise the value of McDonald's Food-Changeables on the secondary market? It should at least reignite interest in them for a bit.

I know I'll at least be getting the Toilet Troop for Shortround to command!

No from what i understand they are all wave 1. Some are probably exclusive to the 5 packs etc. That is what Shopkins does so wouldn't surprise me in the least. The image above only shows the figures supposedly available in the blind bags.

they are not making the unicorn series 1?!

SEIBERTRON's girls will be very disappointed.

Siege isn't the only Transformers product to coming out this month as Amazon has also started shipping out Transformers BotBots to customers! One of which is fellow Seibertron user, ChuckDawg1999! Chuck has put together a video review of two of the teams that have been released: the Toilet Troop and the Techie Team. Check out his review embedded below.

chuckdawg1999 wrote:I have no idea what these are, but they're cool little figures. While everyone has been losing their mind over Siege, Amazon got the first two sets in of BotBot figures. They're simple to transform in terms of steps, but their size does make grabbing some parts difficult. This line is 100% geared toward the younger fan who enjoys the blind bag/box/packaging type of toy.

Transformers BotBots are sold at different price points, with the cheapest being blind bagged sets of two different Botbots. You can also buy themed sets which contains Botbots you can't get via blindbags.

Will you be picking up any Botbots? What do you think of this new take on Transformers? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews.
