Botbots cartoon for Netflix

[griffin]

A full 90 second commercial is now on youtube... and the cartoon looks like a bit of crazy fun. (and they use the classic transformation sound too)

Based on the video, the cartoon appears to follow the basic concept of the toyline, based in a shopping centre, and the story seems to center around the Lost Bots trying to find their tribe (which they have renamed "Squads" on the cartoon... maybe the word "tribe" didn't rate well with some demographics). Meanwhile, there appears to be an inept night-guard trying to catch them, because they have to hide from the humans (a bit of a cross between Toy Story and Pokemon).
I hope it doesn't remain exclusive to netflix.

Some screnshots can be seen here.

Reminds me a little more of Terry Pratchett's Nomes stories

And now I wish I hadn't watched that video, because it seems kinda fun, and I have too much to watch already.

The original toy commercial from about 3 years ago, which had a fairly similar story concept that the cartoon has picked up on...

Looks fun. Way better than the other show they recently announced.

Another promo clip from the new show, introducing us to more of its concept... and it looks like it will be a lot of fun to watch.

Two more promo clips from the new Botbots cartoon, which is supposed to start very soon on Netflix.
