Do we know which characters these are yet?

A better question would be who can keep track of all this

You of all people should know the power of a good spreadsheet.

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

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

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

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.

We've purchased 15 BotBots from two different Walmarts, and so far every one of the identifying numbers has been correct.

Many were hoping that the Botbots would be found in stores soon especially since it is easier not to score so many doubles when you can actually see what is inside the multipack.

Well every single release has now hit Canada at Toysrus stores. The 5 packs are $12.99 and the 8 packs are $19.99 CAD. There is currently a Buy One Get One 50% off which includes all Transformers at Toysrus (you may need to remind the cashier since them arriving after the begining of the sale may require some workaround) making these even cheaper. As you will see in the images below, a lot of figures repeat eachother in the packs so there is a guide available showing which packs to by to get the entire set withthe least doubles possible. You can find that guide here.









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.

It would have been in a brilliant idea, and the same if they ever revisit Minicons ala the Unicron Trilogy

Thanks to the numbers on the backs I got all the botbots that I wanted out of the blind packs. These little guys are so much fun! Slobber-rock is my boy, he's a rock tortoise what's not to love? I can't wait to find the multi packs so I can get the unicorn, doughnut and penguin.

I couldn't find these at my local walmart.
