Transformers BotBots Series 6 revealed along with pre-order links and even more pics available (updated)

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?)

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

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

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!

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

A literal poop, and a poop encrusted toilet plunger

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

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.

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.

BOTBOTS!!!

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

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

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...

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!

I thought the cat-lady bot transformation looked familiar

http://petslady.com/article/remember-hu ... test-kitty

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!

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



Maybe stick some Micromasters on it or something.

Emerje

I just watched the episode with the cars, it was great. I definitely want them now, they were a lot of fun in the show.

i like that idea Emerje. Imagine populating the control with titan masters, those might fit size wise

The 20 and 32 bundles look like they will actually be four each of the 5 or 8 packs and even sticks you with 2 repeat characters for the 20 pack and 4 repeats for the 32 pack. So I also pre-ordered only the car sets. The plus side of them doing this is it should ensure you get 1 each of the 4 varieties, which is better than playing the order and return game with Amazon. I would order 2 and hoping they are the 2 different packs I wanted/needed and return them if not. This way you should be ensured to get one of each.

If you only want a few, I'd say wait them out in stores, but that is risky because we aren't sure when or which stores will even bother carrying them. I'm still trying to piece together wave 5 and Target was pretty much the only place carrying them anymore when the pandemic hit.

I'm going to try and complete the wave, so I'll probably end up pre-ordering the bundles, but it would be nice to find them at Target during a sale before Amazon ships. Oh yell, we have about a year to figure it out.

From the listing and pics, it looks like these will be released in complete sets of sorts, nothing blind packed.

I think we've got a mixed bag, but they have redone the distribution and cases in favor of collecting them all.

There are still the individual blind packs that will likely have a code on them. One of the pre-orders is a for a full case (24) of the blind single packs.

The 20 character bundle is actually 1 of each of the four different 5 packs, likely still with 4 visible and 1 behind the bubble on each pack.

Similarly the 32 character bundle is actually 1 of each of the four different 8 packs, likely still with 4 visible and 1 behind the bubble on each pack.

The vehicle 2 pack bundle is one of each of the individual vehicle packs with a vehicle and 4 bots each.

But the big difference in this wave versus other waves is there are only 4 different of the 5-packs and 8-packs instead of 8 different ones per case. On top of this, for the 20 character bundle there are only 2 repeats (broccoli and silver disc), and for the 32 bundle only 4 repeats (poop, floor sign, rat and dog bowl).

So for collectors like me who want the whole line, pre-ordering the vehicle packs and 20 and 32 bundles are the way to go. Then you just have to hunt down the 8 or so bots that are only in the single blind packs, hopefully with codes.

As someone who went all in on the previous waves, this setup is much better than spreading them over 8 different 5 and 8 packs where you often ended up with multiple repeats, sometime even 3 or 4 of a character just to get them all. This should be the cheapest wave yet, since I won't be be buying 5-7 each of the 5 and 8 packs.

Edit: Also, odd note, Entertainment earth has them coming in September 2022 instead of March 2023. That would be nice if it is the more accurate date.

After really enjoying the show, I ended up buying the rest of the main cast. Dimlit is still in a moving tote, so it might be a couple months before they are fully united.

It looks like the individual 24 case and the 32 bundle are about to ship. Nice surprise.

They have to be getting close too since some of the same figures are in the ones already shipping.

It's been a while since we had more info on the new 2022 Botbots. There was the janitorial crew, the pet based ones, the vehicles, and so many more. Well, Entertainment Earth got the new sets in (links below) and they are shipping them now. We also have images of the new packaging, which were found in e-bay listings.

Vehicles: https://www.entertainmentearth.com/prod ... -901297023

Hunger Hubs and Gamer Geeks: https://www.entertainmentearth.com/prod ... -901297023

Custodial Crew and Pet Mob: https://www.entertainmentearth.com/prod ... -901297023

The animals are very "Beast Wars Happy Meal" and I love them! Some other interesting ones in there, hope they make it into stores this time around so I can pick the sets I want and reduce the chance of duplicates.

Emerje

Amazon is preparing to ship their pre-orders now as well. All 4 are due to arrive Wednesday for me. Oof, this just became a very expensive month.

There are figures shipping from other lines that weren't even due until next year. It would be nice if retailers like BBTS, Amazon or Target gave you the option to hold your order and charge you at the original date.

Got my Pulse update that the racecar set is getting ready to ship as well, I am really excited for that

We've been waiting since April 2021 for the Botbots vehicles and now that they are finally in the question is, are they good toys? And will they be fine for the target audience? Fellow Seibertronian Chuckdawg breaks that down for us below.

chuckdawg1999 wrote:While these are nice sets and I enjoy the larger transforming vehicles, the complexity of getting parts to move on most of the Bot Bots makes it very hard for me to recommend them for smaller hands. Of the two I prefer the Outta Controller set more, just have a spudger handy.

I was right, it's been over a year.

For those curious, the individual packs are lettered A-X instead of numbered 1-24, so we will be able to see who is who before opening them once someone who ordered a whole case decides to open theirs and the info gets to tfwiki.

I am not that person. I'm not sure if these will make it to stores, so I ordered the case and will sell off the 16 that are duplicates and saving the 8 unique ones for Christmas. For wave 5, they never made it to stores by me and buying the 8 individual unique bots from that wave on ebay ended up costing more than a case would have.

Pulse charged me for my vehicle sets, I am actually really looking forward to some BotBots rides

I got the 2 vehicle Botbots playsets. more thoughts incoming later this week, but so far they are proving to be fun if maybe needing a little more to them

Finally paired the Lost bots up with the Raceroni. Dimlit is still in a moving tote sadly

Sweet! The botbots are part of Hasbro Pulse's 25% off sale for premium members that I just took the plunge on today. I pre-ordered the whole set from Amazon, but have only opened the 5-packs so far and have until November 30th to return them.

I'll take 25% off the 8-packs, vehicles and individuals, sure thing.

Transformers BotBots Series 2 Toy Galleries Now Online!

They’re tiny. They’re ridiculous. They’re hiding in your backpack, your fridge, your pencil case... and now they’re invading Seibertron.com!

We’re excited to announce the full gallery rollout for Transformers BotBots Series 2, featuring over 60 individual characters from Hasbro’s most bizarre and imaginative sub-line. Whether you're a hardcore collector, a curious fan, or just love seeing Transformers disguised as pizza, plungers, or perfume bottles, there’s something in here to make you laugh, cringe, and maybe even collect.

Series 2 of the BotBots line debuted in 2019, continuing the quirky chaos introduced in Series 1. These 1-inch PVC-plastic robots transform in just a few steps from household or store-themed items into tiny mischief-makers. Each character belongs to a team—like the Greaser Gang, Sugar Shocks, Spoiled Rottens, or Toilet Troop—loosely based on fictional departments of a mall or store. And yes, many of these bots look like things you'd find on a shelf at Walgreens or lurking in your kitchen junk drawer.

BotBots were sold in blind-bag singles, themed 5-packs and 8-packs, and special editions like the Surprise Unboxing sets. Hasbro intentionally included character repeats across multiple packages, encouraging trades and swaps among kids (or relentless completionism among adult collectors). And with Series 2’s new teams like the Swag Stylers and Techie Team joining returning favorites, there’s no shortage of oddball personalities to meet.

Every BotBot in Series 2 has now been fully photographed and added to the Seibertron.com Toy Galleries—complete with robot and alt mode shots, detailed poses, and high-quality images that show off their unique charm. From King Candyhooves to TP Itch, they’re all here.

Keep checking back as we continue expanding the BotBots gallery archive and documenting this wonderfully weird chapter in Transformers toy history.
