Transformers BotBots Series 4 Found at Retail

Ok so the gold botbots arent chase figures afterall and not rarer than the rest. They are just a subset like any other. If they really were chase, we wouldn't have the specific code to get them.

I thought it was a tent.

"Any moment now" in my neck of the woods usually means "several weeks to never." Or maybe it just feels like several weeks. However, this close to the end of the year, "never" happens way too often.

Our friends at Hasbro sent us a special Transformers BotBots Series 3 promotional box. Included in the promo box were 4 8-packs, 4 5-packs, a case of 24 blind packs, and some special paperwork.

Other than this very unique promo box packaging (well, for Transformers toys, at least), the paperwork might be what interests Seibertronians the most at this point, since Series 3 started hitting retail back in September. Staying true to this being a "Christmas" promo, Hasbro went with a past, present and future them for the promo paperwork.

According to the included promo paperwork, several tribes are being retired. This includes the Shed Heads, Techie Team and Backpack Bunch. In addition to promoting several of the current tribes from Series 3, and the upcoming "Winner's Circle" tribe from the upcoming Series 4 Goldrush Games, there's also a promo sheet for 3 new tribes from Series 4 (Magic Tricksters, Movie Moguls and Science Alliance).

In addition to a Series 3 checklist, there was surprisingly a Series 4 checklist that includes the entire set, which hasn't been revealed before. We've included the entire list for your viewing pleasure below, along with images of the promo box.

They will go all over my desk, and make my coworkers wonder about me more than they already are.

I'm with you, I need to go find some Science Bots. I love the looks of them!

This box is dope as hell.

Love the character names they come up for these little bots. I'm not collecting this line ( I have a hard enough time with deluxe figures with my meaty claws ), but I can see the appeal for the younger bot lovers.

So taking a look at what is in each blind pack, 5-pack, 8-pack and the gumball/claw, it looks like you will need both of the gumball and both of the claw unboxing packs in order to get a complete set of series 4 botbots. Frostfetti Frostyface, Crumbly Yumbly, Mr. Memory Banks and the Cobbler are all in a different pack in the clear capsules, and only appear to be included in the gumball and claw machine packs.

So for anyone looking to complete Series 4, I would recommend starting with the unboxing packs and fill in the rest from there.

Amazon has them in stock, but it would be a crapshoot on which ones you end up with. I rolled the dice and ended up with the set with the flask and the telescope. Now I'm just waiting on the 5 and 8 packs to show up at retail to complete the rest of the series.
