Hasbro Transformers BotBots Sighted at UK Retail

Got the botbots I wanted (slobberrock and stinkasaur) and a couple of others. I love them so much, this is a great new addition to the franchise

And merry Xmass!

This is why Thew is hands down the best reviewer.

That thing is awesome! The fact that the Botbot fit in it shows it was meant to be

Yep, we had this in the news a few weeks ago.

That's great to know. I was sure I wasn't the only one who figured it out but just in case there were others I wanted to make sure. A penny saved...and all that.

Wrong thread buddy.

Whoops.

To read makes our speaking English good.

Big Lots used to have the coolest TF KOs about 17-12 years ago, until Hasbro cracked down on the Operation Combination/upscaled Cybertron Legends KOs, kiboshing the greatest army-builder ever knocked off: red and yellow Tetra-seekers in scale with Titanium. Perhaps not that relevant, but a sore spot for me given the news about Hasbro's legal victory in China, and the fact that in exchange, we hardly got jack for official TFs in Big Lots.

But now, FINALLY, I have reason to go there again, so...yay.

Fun with BotBots!

So we knew the new year would bring about more Botbots, but that was all we knew, until now. Hasbro has updated their Australian site to include 4 new 5 packs which include new Botbots. 2 of those are new molds, and include a rolling pin and mixer. Both of those feature the colour change gimmick, which may be similar to the good old rub stamp effect. Both of these new molds are included in each of the 5 packs. The rest of the packs vary between redecos of previous Botbots including the soap dispensor in white and the pizza bot turned into a pie bot (the later works really well as a redeco). The packaging hints at even more redecos such as a white version of the book Botbot.

You can find all the images below which are followed by a full product description from the Hasbro site.

Not long ago, a flowing mist of Energon came down from the sky and covered a shopping mall. The objects inside were brought to life as little Transformers robots! These bots can hide in plain sight as everyday objects, meaning no one knows what's a bot and what's not! Mischievous, funny, and super silly, these are… BotBots!

BotBots characters are little figures with big personalities! These collectible toys are around 1-inch tall and change from totally normal stuff to adventurous little robots in 3 to 5 easy steps. Makes a great gift for kids ages 5 and up!

Each Bakery Bytes pack includes 5 figures from 2 exclusive teams: 3 from the Bakery Bytes and 2 from the Lawn League! 2 of the included Bakery Bytes characters have color change features. Just rub the figure to reveal the hidden color! Also look for Lawn League 8-packs (sold separately, subject to availability).
