BotBots officially revealed

[Paulbot]

Full reveal

They actually transform to my surprise.

And there’s now a Transformer called S’up Dawg which is amazing. And another called Poo Sham!! King Toots! Sprinkleberry! How great to see some new Transformers that are all about fun.

Here’s the official product blurb, courtesy of Hasbro: Not long ago and somewhere close by, a glowing mist filled with TRANSFORMERS energy called ENERGON came down from the sky and covered a shopping mall. The things inside came to life as little TRANSFORMERS robots! These bots can hide in plain sight as everyday objects, meaning no one knows what’s a bot and what’s not! Mischievous, funny, and super silly, these are… BOTBOTS!


There are 61 unique 1-inch (about 2.5cm) characters to collect in the first series of BotBots, each with their own individual personality. Like all Transformers, the characters change from an ordinary object into a little robot in just 3-5 easy steps.


The BotBots all belong to different tribes, inspired by product types you might find in a shopping centre, including the “Sugar Shocks” (sweet treats), the “Backpack Bunch” (school equipment), the “Toilet Troop” (bathroom items), the “Techie Team” (electronic gadgets), the “Greaser Gang” (fast food), the “Shed Heads” (gardening gear), and the “Jock Squad” (sporting goods).


The figures, suitable for ages 5 and up, come in individual blind bags with a RRP of £2.99 (about AU$5-6), or you can buy the tribes in packs of 5 or 8 figures.


This new range launches in December.

That promo image shows us 54 of the first 61. The remaining 7 may or may not be in one of the other photos included in the article (or the official packaging images)... I haven't made a list of them yet. (someone else can if they are keen, and post it here... or if you find a list online already, post it up, crediting the source)


Multi-Packs are partially themed - they have figures from different tribes, with most in the pack looking to be from the tribe labelled on the pack.
Multi-Packs appear to be set assortments, with most figures being included in more than one pack (with 8 5-packs and 8 8-packs, that's already 104 before even counting the blind bag singles).
As with most of these types of mini-collectables that are the current craze (like Shopkins and Ooshies), there will likely to be groups of rarity among the checklist of 61 figures in this first series (like, common, rare, super rare).
