Transformers Botbots Series 5 8-Packs Available for Pre-order on Amazon

Found the wave 5 8-packs on a target run for groceries yesterday.

Also, since I wasn't expecting to find them any time soon, I never looked up the "recommended buys" for this wave to see which ones entailed the least number of purchases to collect all the figures. Ergo, I stood there for about ten minutes debating which ones to buy, slowly whittling down my choices to four, then two simply based on which ones appeared in the fewest packs. Turns out the last two I eliminated were the "recommended buys," and the two I bought were superfluous. The figures I'd assumed were rare were going to be readily available in the five-packs.

I spent a good 15 minutes in store trying to read tfwiki on my phone and determine who the hell each one was to figure out which 5 I needed. It was a pain, but a success. I'll be using them as rewards for my youngest (and me) for good behavior during the shutdown.

Thanks to a heads up from Seibertronian TF-fan Kev777, we have news that the newest round of Botbots have made their way to online stores, and are now in stock and available for your purchase!

The botbots series 5 5-packs consists of 3 teams, which are the Party Favors, the Los Deliciosos, and the Cardio Clinique, each of which contain cute little botbots that transform quite easily from an item fitting that description to a little robot. While we do not yet have the Cardio Clinique listing ready and in stock, the Party Favor's and the Los Deliciosos' are ready for you to purchase them and continue to build your Botbot army!

You can follow any of the links below, or you can click on the pictures of the Botbots themselves to take you to the listing. Let us know if you pick them up in the comments section below!

no pics of the training kit stuff?

I see BotBots as nothing more but Shopkinformers, though the photos taken with them have tons of imagination and creativity when used with other figures.

I like Botbots, don't get me wrong, but who are they kidding?

Let's be honest, the idea came to them as, "Shopkins are popular. How do we jump on that bandwagon?"

Greetings Seibertronians! This one goes out to the fans of Transformers BotBots, one of the more popular recent additions to the Transformers franchise and a boon to those who love posing their transformers in amusing situations, like Beast Wars Masterpiece Megatron with his rubber duckie.

Target have updated one of their BotBot listings as Series 6 Caffine Collective, listing it similar to others in the series so far and mentioning this name repeatedly in the product descriptions. We knew from the last Toy Fair that series 6 was happening but this gives us the name and theme of one of the new teams. The pictures used for the item though are those advertising series 5, the gold rush games.



*Important*

Anyone buying this will not receive this series 6 Team. Instead they'll receive Series 5 Hibochi Heats 8-Packs.

This team isn't out yet and hasn't been officially revealed by Hasbro. All we have is this name.

You excited to catch more BotBots? Think these will give your collection a caffeine buzz? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Botbots vehicles are coming! While we have very little details, we now have an image to go with some product codes referring to Transformers Botbots vehicles. These seem to be $20 sets where a botbots can have their own vehicles to drive. We've seen this in the tail end of the G1 era with transformers having their own vehicles and now they are bringing this playstyle back for a new generation. The image is below featuring what they call the Ruckus gang. We can see the vehicle Pizza and the Vehicle controller, which resembles the Batwing of sorts. You an view the various codes and pricepoints for those and other upcoming Botbot toys. Seems like this line is coming back in a big way.

yeh, pretty cool. People are seeing this as a return to those Computer Warrior toys. I know Cobotron would get a kick out of these too if he were still around the boards.

I find these fun, but I wish they’d have a 3mm or 5 mm peg so they could interact better with full size Transformers. I currently have a few sitting on Jetfire’s shoulders and one on PotP Inferno’s ladder. These vehicles look fun too though.
