    Default More BotShots multi-packs

    As series 2 is about to hit Western countries, some Asian sources have posted up more of the Wave 1 multi-packs and single packs.

    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)

    In-hand images of Series 2 Botshots and packaging pictures of the Dragon Track Set (verifying that the purple one is indeed Megatron).
