    You've also got the Autobots one with Prowl, Sentinel Prime and Bumblebee. Solid coloured version of Sentinel too, not clear like the single pack one.

    It's because he's considered one of the "chase" figures. All the chase molds are translucent. Hope we get a solid colored one as well eventually.

    I was thinking the same thing, buy my OCD probably wouldnt allow me to only get one or two, and the paint apps (on the feet) on Optimus Prime in bot mode in the package kind of turned me off. I may still grab Optimus at some point, but I really don't need to start another line, as "cute" as they actually are.

    When I bought mine it was only 12.99 and I used the $3 coupon so being 9.99 seemed worth it. Plus the stats are different on these ones.

    Damn it!

    Instead of this crap why not release that 1st new wave of Generation's?

    Lord knows there's nothing else on TF shelves worth racing out for...

    exactly, this is another TRU price hike when the 3rd figure should just be a bonus.

    considering these toys are 3.99 at target, I bet these packs will be showing up there for 9.99 or less. I'll buy them then.

    I WANT THESE NOW!

    You could buy the cheapest pre-paid phone available and it would still have a camera in it.

    I'm guessing it's the Sentinel Prime chase figure.

    The other one is Sentinel Prime, Prowl, and Bumblebee.

    Blol.

    I hope Toys R Us will have deal where you buy Transformers worth x combined and get a pack of botshots free. I don't see myself buying these toys otherwise.

    I picked up a 3 pack today at TRU. It was on sale for $12.99. The singles were still $4.99. I only saw the Autobot 3 pack, which included Prowl, Bumblebee and Sentinel Prime.

    Same. Just picked up both sets in Tigard Oregon from TRU.

    The packaging numbers each character starting with BP001 for Bumblebee and Acid Storm is "Super Bot 006". I wish they had used the same numbering scheme as the single packs.

    I would like bot stats of each for comparison if I want.
    So far it seems like each bot will have at least one stat that overpowers the other in a tie breaker.

    Wow, so, they shortpacked even the botshots here?! I just picked up my set of Decepticons, and it appears to be a 3:1 packing rate, Bots being the 3.

    the BBs are different

    I picked up a battle pack and all the single packs (except for the super bot 001 - sentinal prime) and to answer your question BNY888 - the bumblebee's are different. Slight color change, tires different color and the hit points on the chest are different. Also the windshield is different. Kinda reminds me of Prime/RID bumblebee vs the NYCC prime bumblebee (orange vs yellow) I grabbed these guys at TRU in Sacramento.

    **added** also Prowl is repainted to become Barricade, and of course Prime is painted black for Nemesis Prime, Starscream mold for Acid Storm

    Wow, thanks for the info, now I know I have to get this 3-pack! :) 

    There's another Bumblebee variant, from wave 2, a translucent one. :)
