Oh my! Jazz, Powerglide, SKYWARP!!!! Why must I wait so long for these. I swear if there is some kind of Devestator Combiner-type one of these that comes down the line I will love it forever!!!!! These things are like crack...so blasted addicting!

[griftimus prime]

horrible line

[Solrac333]

Complete waste of plastic. Cancel this line and bring back FE and the rest of DOMT.

I like this line. Its a neat little amalgamation of the lines... which, seems to be their push now. First with kre-o, and now with botshots.

Didnt they say something about 40 new generation figures in the works? how many of those are going to be amalgams like these are. I would not mind a new Sentinel Prime, a Barricade, etc. done in classics/Generations style.

I do have to admit, i'm still looking for other stuff over botshots. This paste week in TRU they had the 3 packs with evil prime and colored guy sentinel, and I decided to buy some kick ass beyblade sets instead.

nice, look forward to the SWave
the rest is cool but i will pick and choose what i will grab

[Mkall]

Not my thing, but neat nonetheless

These little guys are kind of cool, but they're yet to hit that selling point, where I'll actually buy them. 5 dollars for a little guy like that is a bit much too.

Complete waste of plastic. Cancel this line and bring back FE and the rest of DOMT.

That's not how it works, if the stores don't want to stock FE and the last DOTM wave, Hasbro can't bring them back without releasing them in a line that stores do want to stock, plain and simple.

[cannonfodder4000]

Disappointed with how Wave 4's just Autobots, but Wave 5 redeems it by having both Skywarp and Shockwave.

Im pass with this things, waiting for the 40+ generations

[welcometothedarksyde]

My only gripe about the Bot Shots line is how long each wave is taking to come out, July, September??!! It's going to take seven months for these to come out! How much development time could these things take? They all have the exact same transformation! I mean for main line toys it's good that they take a while to come out because I can save up for them in that time, but not these things. You don't need to save up for Bot Shots, they're an impulse buy.

[Skywarp64]

...Skywarp isn't a Japan exclusive? Either the universe is broken, or THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIIIIIIIIIFE!!!!

[Atomatron]

any more 3 packs????

[Downbeat]

do you guys know what this means? It means that I can finally get all three movie Wreckers!

I bought deluxe Topspin and Roadbuster, waiting for Leadfoot, and then that plan got killed. I can get these guys, and they'll be cheap and adorable!
