Botbots series 5 revealed

[griffin]

We are still waiting on the rest of Series 3 here, while all of Series 4 has been released in America.... but Series 5 has just been found in the UK (https://news.tfw2005.com/2020/02/05/transformers-botbots-series-5-goldrush-games-blind-bags-spotted-at-uk-retail-404642).

This 5th series comes with yellow bubbles, and should have been released around the middle of the year.
Just the single packs first, but we now have images of the Series 5 catalogue, and being part of year two, there are more golden coloured figures in this Series.
There are 60 figures on the Series 5 catalogue.

While I'm still trying to complete the 3rd and 4th series (the packs not released in Australia), America already has the entire 5th series released there, despite an official release date of April 1st (https://news.tfw2005.com/2020/02/21/transformers-botbots-series-5-goldrush-games-new-surprise-unboxings-brand-new-tribes-official-images-405886)!
The 5packs and 8packs have been bought and their contents have now been posted up (https://news.tfw2005.com/2020/02/20/transformers-botbots-series-5-goldrush-games-5-packs-found-at-us-retail-8-packs-in-hand-images-and-breakdown-405512), which means TFWiki should have a list (https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transformers:_BotBots) of the recommended purchases soon for those of us trying to collect them all (and just hate the way Hasbro have packed these to force us into buying duplicates).

Another of the Botbots promo packs has been sent to some American fansites, this time for Series 5 (https://news.tfw2005.com/2020/04/28/botbots-series-5-goldrush-games-promotional-box-gallery-410613).
Unlike the previous for series promo boxes, this one doesn't have the entire set of Botbots packs inside. Instead, they have just three of the 5-packs, two of the 8-packs and no single packs. In place of all the missing toys are two of the Series 4 themed boxes (claw-grab and gum-ball), and a "training kit" that has a really nice looking Botbots branded metal drink bottle, along with a skipping rope and work-out band.
Also, the inside of the box is printed to look like an old wooden floor gym, which would make for a nice diorama set for the Botbots toys (better if one side was removed for display).
