A while back, he had listings for a strange toyline called "BotBots." Many were wondering what they were, and the answer will soon come to us on Sunday, October 28 at MCM Comic-Con London 2018!.

An announcement on their website reveals Hasbro to be officially associated with the event. The Transformers panel will run on Sunday, October 28, 3:45-4:45 PM (GMT, presumably) on the Center Stage. BotBots and other movie-style figures will be revealed there for the first time.

Ran Sun & Minh Medeiros from the Transformers Global Brand Team and Sean Carmine Isabella from the Transformers Design Team will be there hosting a Q&A session at the panel as well.

Aw, nutbuckets. I just had to cancel my plans to go there cos it turns out I'm doing two performances of a play I was asked last week to fill a couple roles in. Dang

While we had some new reveals at MCM Comic-Con London 2018, we can dial it back a bit with these new images of the Siege and Bot Bots display at the convention. Thanks to TFW2005 member Rotorstorm, who was at the convention, we get to some up close photos of many Siege and Bot Bots toys. The Siege toys appear to all be wave 1 toys, which are coming out December 2018, as seen on the labels. We also see the Bot Bots very close up, showing their detail, or, well, how cute they are.

Now that we have a closer look at many of these figures, did any of your opinions change? Tell us in the Pub forums below!

I do like these Seige figures, but the weathering doesn't work for me, and the obvious Earth modes when it's Cybertron-based is a bit... weird?

Sideswipe looks ridiculous with his head mistransformed like that. It doesn't matter to me at this point though because I know what he looks like properly transformed. Siege is extremely promising at this point, but am I the only one who is just 0.01% tired of G1? I'm fine with it though. I am really happy with BotBots though.
