As series 2 is about to hit Western countries, some Asian sources have posted up more of the Wave 1 multi-packs (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/inpackage-images-decepticon-fire-assault-team-and-new-bumblebee-single/26564/) and single packs (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/new-transformers-bot-shots-singles-and-sets/26559/).
We've already seen the 5-packs "Stunticons" and "Autobot Polar Assault", which came out in America in December, now two more 5-packs have been found in Asia...
Autobot Air Force (Aerialbots)
- T011 Silverbolt (grey Jetfire redeco)
- T012 Quickslinger (Slingshot) (white/red Starscream redeco)
- T013 Skydive (dark grey Powerglide redeco)
- T014 Autobot Firestrike (Fireflight) (red Starscream redeco)
- T015 Air Raid (white/black Jetfire redeco)
Fire Assault Team
- T016 Megatron (red redeco)
- T017 Shockwave (orange redeco)
- T018 Starscream (red redeco)
- T019 Barricade (orange redeco)
- T020 Lockdown (black redeco)
Also in Series 2, the return of the 3-packs...
- Cliffjumper (new mould/red redeco of Series 2 Bumblebee single-pack)
- Decepticon Brawl (new mould)
- Dirt Boss (Super Bot) (translucent purple/green Series 1 Ironhide redeco)
- Bumblebee (new mould - different to Series 2 single pack version)
- Shockwave (new mould)
- Skyquake (Super Bot) (translucent dark green Series 1 Starscream redeco)
The first wave of Single-packs...
- B001 Bumblebee (new mould) (Flip Shot)
- B002 Ironhide (new mould) (Spin Shot)
- B003 Shockwave (new mould) (Jump Shot)
- SB001 Sunstorm (superbot - translucent orange) (redeco Series 1 Starscream)
It appears that all the Superbots are just translucent redecos of Series 1 BotShots, as the Series 2 moulds incorporate an additional gimmick to the spring-loaded gimmick... either called "Flip Shot", "Spin Shot" or "Jump Shot". As such, the Series 2 moulds have additional "articulation" to their engineering.
As such, I'm keeping the 5-packs listed as "Series 1.5" for now, as they are all Series 1 moulds. (the 3-packs have Series 2 moulds, and likely to have Series 2 numberings on the side of the boxes)
