We thank Hasbro for sending us the entire first series of Transformers BotBots so that you can get a good look at all the toys coming soon to a variety of retailers near you. We made some galleries to give you the best look yet at all these new Toys. Here we have the Shed Heads. These are all garden equipment and other items you'd find outside, like a chainsaw, a hammer and a plant. The official release window for these is early 2019 and there will be two more series released throughout 2019 with over 190 Botbots to collect. These will be released through a mixture of sets and blind bags.

We made some galleries to give you the best look yet at all these new Toys. Here we have the Greaser Gang. These are all fast food related items and appliances used to make the greasey goods. They turn into things like a slice of pizza, French fries, a drinks cup and even a grilled cheese sandwich. The official release window for these is early 2019 and there will be two more series released throughout 2019 with over 190 Botbots to collect.

These things are too cute! I cannot wait to get some for myself and gift to my friends and nieces.

Fun! I cannot wait to take the challenge!

No, you have to spend money.

reminds me of this

Is there a more complete set of rules for this challenge on Hasbro's site? Because I can think of a lot of photos I'd love to take with these that might get disqualified.

Like showing them interacting with logical yet non-Hasbro toys. Say, the fast-food guys blending in with the old Food-Changeables, or a Leatherface figure using the chainsaw guy to attack Buffy...

Say, Slobber Rock would fit in perfect with the Rock Lords, which Hasbro does own now, despite the fact that they'd probably sooner revive Spiral Zone or cosponsor a Starriors revival with Takomy. But I just bought me a Fossilsaurus, so that's who he's getting squashed by, regardless!

Words cannot express how much I want these. I want them all. I want _swarms_ of these things. They're an absolute fresh of fresh air, new and vibrant and funny. Curse my brokeness.

I think it's more of a "just for fun" thing than a contest with concrete rules and prizes, so you probably have some wiggle room and the worst thing that happens is they don't share your picture or whatever. Don't quote me on that, but if I had to guess.

No, those were guidelines for the free samples that Hasbro sent Seibertron.com. Maybe I should have blocked out that verbiage but didn't see anything wrong with it since we are supposed to disclose that anyways.

hm. still not feeling these things. I mean they're amusing enough in photos but do I want to pay actual money and have these on my shelf? No. I really don't.

We thank Hasbro for sending us the entire first series of Transformers BotBots so that you can get a good look at all the toys coming soon to a variety of retailers near you. We made some galleries to give you the best look yet at all these new Toys. Here we have the Sugar Shocks. Whereas the Greaser Gang were all fast food related Sugar Shocks are everything to do with sugary food and drink. They turn into things like a doughnut, a bar of chocolate, an energy drink and a bowl of Ice Cream. The official release window for these is early 2019 and there will be two more series released throughout 2019 with over 190 Botbots to collect.

The Plop Father is amazing. I never though I would see a Godfather reference in Transformers. Especially in a line geared towards kids.

I still think Batsby looks more like a failed peanut than a baseball bat, the others looking pretty good tho

I really want these to come to store soon. I really want to pick some of these guys up, they look so fun!

We thank Hasbro for sending us the entire first series of Transformers BotBots so that you can get a good look at all the toys coming soon to a variety of retailers near you. We made some galleries to give you the best look yet at all these new Toys. Here we have the Toilet Troop. The name here is self explanatory as to what items you'll find here. They turn into things like a roll of toilet paper, a shampoo bottle and a bar of soap. The official release window for these is early 2019 and there will be two more series released throughout 2019 with over 190 Botbots to collect.

Am I the only one who realizes that with "Goob Tube" they've basically given us a toy of Gogglebox from Robo-Capers?

I really like Frohawk for some reason

We thank Hasbro for sending us the entire first series of Transformers BotBots so that you can get a good look at all the toys coming soon to a variety of retailers near you.

We thank Hasbro for sending us the entire first series of Transformers BotBots so that you can get a good look at all the toys coming soon to a variety of retailers near you. We made some galleries to give you the best look yet at all these new Toys. Here we have the Lots Bots. These are a ransom mixture of bots that would belong to other lines but taht have been lost and thus must band together. They turn into thematics from other lines like a burger, a cupcake and a flashlight. The official release window for these is early 2019 and there will be two more series released throughout 2019 with over 190 Botbots to collect.

Seems like Clogstopper should be the leader of the Toilet Troop...ironic that he's the lost one instead.

Each of the Lost Bots belongs to one of the other "factions".

Makes perfect sense to me. Out of all the bathroom items come to life, which one do you suppose would want to get lost, or as far away from the bathroom as possible?

Great news for anyone who wants to get you some Botbots. Amazon currently has the Techie Team, Sugar Shock and Toilet Troop 5 packs available for order at $9.99 each. I ordered 1 of each and it currently says arriving Sunday, so I'm guessing the release date must be Friday or Saturday.

We have a few Transformers BotBots sightings to report. Fellow Seibertronian TF-fan kev777 found 3 of the 5 packs on Amazon.com.

Over in Canada, the blind packs containing one figure were found at Toysrus in the province of Ontario for $3.99 CAD each. They were in the Transformers section, and not the blind bag area. This was reported by Lioconvoy81 over at Cybertron.ca.



This is great news to many who were hoping to use these as stocking stuffers this Christmas. If you want to see these toys in detail before you buy them, we have a gallery for every single character here.

I saw these, ordered one, and am waiting on my seat's edge until it arrives.

About that, I can't quite get them to match up evenly.

Burgertron -- Greaser Gang
Clogstopper -- Toilet Troop
Frostferatu -- Sugar Shock
Game Over -- Techie Team
Stinkeye Stapleton -- Backpack Bunch

But Bonz-Eye and Dimlit both appear to be Shedheads with no extra member for Jock Squad. Seems like a strange oversight. As it is Jock Squad only has 6 members, you'd thing Lost Bots would have two Jocks instead to bring their numbers up.

Also these are definitely not something I would buy online, I want to limit the chances of getting duplicates.

Probably a good call, mine arrived today and sure enough I did get one duplicate, but I got the donut and unicorn cupcake, which I was hoping for, so I'm happy overall. I haven't opened them yet, so no clue if the blind ones are duplicates either. Plus if the 5 packs do show up at retail before Christmas, I can always buy another without a duplicate and return one of the packs with a double.

Thats some smart thinking there.

Dimlit could be Jock Squad - people waving flashlights in stadiums.

It was asked where the Botbots would be found when they got to retail and it turns out that they are neither in the boy or girl aisle. As it turns out, they were found at a US Walmart in the stocking stuffer bins. In Canada, some have been found at the checkout line.

Only the single "blind bags" have been found at brick and mortar retail so far and it turns out that those include the rarest figures, since some characters are only found through blind bags. There is a way to figure out which character is in the bling bag since there is an number scratched into the bottom right of the back of the card. You can see numbers 16 and 9 below which correspond to Slobber Rock and S.A. Cheez, as you can tell from the list below, courtesy of tformers.com.

1 - Stinkasaurus Rex
2 - Scrub-A-Dub
3 - Nobeeoh
4 - Cocoa Crazy
5 - Sippy Slurps
6 - Remorsel
7 - Skillz Punk
8 - Fomo
9 - S.A. Cheez
10 - S'up Dawg
11 - Twerple Bubble
12 - Spud Muffin
13 - Rootwing
14 - Venus Frogtrap
15 - Fun Gus
16 - Slobber Rock
17 - Frostferatu
18 - Dimlit
19 - Professor Wellread
20 - Snippy Snappy
21 - Totes Magotes
22 - Cranks
23 - Batsby
24 - Kidd Klobber

No need, Philip164 already has us covered:




Green = 1 Figure, Yellow = 2 Figures, Red = 3 Figures, and Purple = 4 Figures

So the ones you can only find in blind bags are:

Cupcake
Book
Pencil sharpner
Bag
Soda Cup
Bush
Mushroom
Rock
Hot Coco
Chocolate Bar
Photo camera
Video Camera
Soap Bar
Deodorant
Decorative Plant Dinosaur

So 15 out of the 24 guys in the blind bags are found only in the blind bags? Just a shade under two-thirds, seems fair I gues.

Even I have my limits, that's like 90 randomly distributed!

Yeah, I think its fair too. Would kind of be a dick move if all the blind bag ones could be found in the other standard packs. And in any case, we can know which ones are in the blind bags too.

Am I correct in the assumption that there's only ONE figure per blind bag? That... is going to end up being rather expensive...

On the one hand, yes, it's about 50 cents to a dollar more than what you get per figure for the multi-packs. On the other hand, I can say from experience that a lot of these blind bag sets end up in places like dollar stores and Five Below, so you can wait and take a chance that you'll find some of them there.

Glarryg

Both Walmarts in our area claimed to have these in stock, but after much searching, no luck.

Am I right in thinking there's been no official characterizations provided for the individual Botbots? Because Seibertron's photo-galleries are making my typing fingers itchy.
