I see what you did there.....


Ow, and the Bumblebee Bot Shot looks like Bug Bite. That's pretty cool.

 

I will buy Lazerback and Soundwave on sight. Soundwave mainly for Ravage.

Wheeljack looks semi tempting.

 

I gotta have that Stunticon five pack.

 

In my head-canon, Wildrider is calling himself Brake-Neck just to screw with Breakdown. He's so touchy about that sort of thing...
Motorbreath is all BRAKENECK! and Breakdown turns around like "huh?!"

 

Surely they could have thought up something better.

Wildrunner

Wildroader

Wildraider

Wildtires

 

No new molds it seems. Compared them to the ones I already have and it looks like they are all straight up repaints:
Motormaster is from Megatron (truck);
Dragstrip from Jazz;
Dead End from Leadfoot;
Breakdown from Roadbuster;
and Wildrider from Topspin.

I'm near done of a custom Bot Shots Landcross, and from swapping chest and head pieces I know that they are not interchangeable between molds without customizing.

Combaticons would be hard to pull of unless we get some all new molds. A Bot Shots helicopter, shuttle, and jeep would be awesome!
Superion would be an easier one to pull off, with a few changes to the tailfin piece, and new heads so 3 or 4 of them done have to share a Starscream head.

The white Bumblebee makes a good Bug Bite, but I wish instead of having another see-through blue Prime they would have given the transparent blue treatment to Mirage this time. Would have also liked to see more change in the Ironhide color. Red would be nice even if it doesn't match the 'Polar Assault' theme.

 

should've called him gonewild.

EDIT: the bot-shots five packs are 22 dollars? daaaang

 

Wildneck Seems Appropiate.

I Still think Break-Neck is a Bad name.

 

That's not swirly plastic, silly.

 

Funny thing is if they had looked like that in the first place I wouldn't have thought them so boring. Ridiculous maybe, but not boring.

 

BotShot Stunticons actually look quite cool.... the rest.... nope

 

srsly? I haven't even seen wave 2 of Prime in my area

 

If there was a gum called Motorbreath, I'd totally rock it.

 

Can't loose what you never had in the first place.

 

Wildrider to Break-Neck?

Why not something like "Wildride" or "Wildryder" or something?

 

Wow that came out of nowhere. I didnt think we would see these for another 2 months.

 

Kinda happy to see these come out. Gives me time to find a PRID Ultra Magnus, Skyquake and focus on FOC for a bit. Will get Lazerback and Wheeljack. Iffy on Voyager Predaking. No thank you on the rest so far.

I like Wilder or WildRoader better than Breakneck - But I'll be treating Break-neck as a new Character and as I said before I may decide he's Menasors Chest plate car drone in a full bodied form.

Now there's an idea for future toys (1st or 3rd party ones) a group of Characters ones based on the secondary characters that came with base bots like Scamper or Full Tilt in upgraded bodies.

Something like that might work really nicely.

Oh and Props again for Powerlinx Jetfire, Bugbite, and Ultra Magnus homages - but a big "Epic Fail" to the near identical Mirage and a further un-needed Grey Ironhide - they should have included a DOTM colour or "Red" coloured Rescue Ratchet instead. if they want to repaint that Ironhide it needs to be red or don't bother.

Oh and if they'd have been crafty they could have bodged together a Hoist or Trailcutter too instead from existing parts.

--------

Oh I just wanted to say if anyone else gets these please link any pictures to this and the feedback threads too.

I'd really appreciate a backview of Wheeljack in both modes.

 

Wasn't expecting a Beast Hunters sighting for at least another month. Should be interesting to see how long it takes stores in my area to start stocking them. The Bot Shots team packs are actually kind of interesting. That said, I'll inevitably skip these like I have all Bot Shots products thus far.

Now that I've seen some in-hand pics, BH Wheeljack is actually pretty tempting. Though I'm curious to see if they'll do a retool of his Legion figure, like they did for Bumblebee's new spikey duds.

 

Love all the surprise over 'Motorbreath'. I mean that name has been used on 2 releases of "Motormaster" molds before--See: Legends Motorbreath and that same figure in the Ultimate Gift Set.

ANyways Just bought ym first BotShot the other day (jazz) and these things are pretty cool, but prob won't buy anymore.

Good to see BH is on the rise, I really want to see what stuff beyond wve 1 looks like though! If Lazerback appears in the show, I'll get him--and if his bio is accurate, it seems Shockwave might just have tons of Predacons cloned up somewhere.
